Description of Work: Called and talked to contractor about a front door replacement.. contractor showed up a few hours past our agreed upon appointment time. Nice interaction, measure the front door, took the time to look over the entrance way... told me some of het surrounding issues that they might run into... told me he would get his son to look over the door as well and get back to me. days went by and I heard nothing, I emailed the contractor only to have him respond to me by referring other contractors to me. NOT happy with the service this contractor provided. Did not get back to me about the door, no reason given as to why either.

Response from Michael F Whalen Contracting
First of all , this guy had already purchased a door that was not the right size for the opening in question. I did point out several issues that had to be dealt with. Bottom line is, I was not interested in the job and he is obviously offended by that. The main reason is he informed me his wife bought the door and could not return it, that door was all together wrong for that opening. He knew I was not interested from the onset, but he was committed to that door. Sorry to offend you Mr. [Member name removed], but next time have a professional measure the door before purchasing one.

Description of Work: We had our front porch redone. This included removal of an old iron railing and replaced with a vinyl railing. Also, we had our soffit and fascia replaced. The job took about a day and a half. The work was extremely professional. The workers were courteous and respectful, though they did start quite early in the morning (before 7:00 am). We had railings placed on either side of our steps and were initially unhappy with the placement of the railing, as our steps were slightly uneven and not square with the porch, causing problems with the placement of the railing. After the completion of the project, we let Mike know that we were not happy with the placement of the railing on the steps. We discussed multiple options to remedy this (as Mike also agreed that it was not ideal) and we decided to remove one railing. A post on the porch needed to be redone because of this. Mike's team completed this work in a timely fashion with no charge to us. We were extremely pleased.

He was very good. He was very responsive. They came on time and they put the deck together in three days. It was a pretty good experience. Excellent. A very good staff. They did a good job. They didn't play around I mean there was very little conversation between them. They knew what they had to do and they did it. They did everything right. It is solid. they put extra beams in there. They paid attention to the construction of the deck and the quality is good, but you have to spend time to pay attention to detail.
Description of Work: They installed a deck.

It went so good. When we talked about remodeling our garage, I never imagined that it could end up looking like it does today. It was such a mess, stuff everywhere and so much stuff. Whalen Contracting before they started even moved everything out or to one side prior to starting this nightmare. My husband told them what he wanted as far as the design and that was it. They came here everyday and before we knew it, it was all coming together. Believe me when i say that this job was worth every penny and then some. They put up all new walls because the garage was block which was very cold and drafty and just nasty. A new ceiling was put up first, i believe, then walls , then drywall. The floor had to be grinded as it was concrete and very rough. All the squares that you can see in the pictures were each measured out and taped off after the 3 coats of orange epoxy was applied. Then they painted squares with black exoxy, I think the floor took about 2 weeks to complete. Whalen Contracting suggested that we use t one eleven for the bottom of the walls, which was a great suggestion as you can see in the pictures, how nice they turned out. They put up trim all around the windows, new doors, hung up all the new shelving, new tv. They just went above and beyond what i was expecting. Everything was done by may 5 and we had our first party in this wonderful garage on may 11th. All our friends could not believe it was the same garage. Whalen Contracting did such a great job and i would highly recommend them to anyone. They are very trusting and honest, which to me, is worth everything. They cleaned at the end of each day. So much was done to this garage that i cannot even put it into words so please see the pictures, as they tell it all

The work was done is such a professional manner. The building is very old but they made it to look like it was just built. I let them have the freedom to do what they thought was best. Not only do they do excellent work but they are very honest. I knew that i would not be ripped off by anything they chose to do. They made suggestions on what should be done and i went right along with them and i am very happy that i did just that.
Description of Work: I own a hot dog shop in lower burrell, pa. They did a complete makeover of the building. New siding,new roof, 5 new windows, soffit fascia, down spouts, two new doors. They insulated the whole building and gave it a beautiful new look. All my customers commented and wanted to know who did the work. They were extremely neat and cleaned up everyday, so well that if you didnt know there was remodeling going on, you would not be able to tell because of the neatness. They were very punctual and did excellent work. They are so good that they are in the process of remodeling our garage. I will not get into that right now because it is very involved. Will submit that when they are done. I would never have another company do anything for me other than Whalen Construction. They are by far the best that there is. I have been wanting to sell the shop but it was in such bad shape that i had to do something with it. Now i can sell it feeling good about it with its new look. They went above and beyond what needed to be done and i could not be more pleased.

I am thrilled to have found a local company that listened, advised and followed through as promised. Mike contacted me promptly, understood my needs and followed through quickly to get my roof replaced. His price was very reasonable and the work area was well taken care of. I highly recommend and trust this great father and son team!

He returned my call promptly and showed up when he said he would. Gave a good look over the job, took some measurements, asked a few questions. He then made some suggestions and provided me with an estimate shortly after. I chose another company that had an even better deal, but this guy was a contender.

He showed up promptly to perform an estimate, quoted it, and when I gave the go-ahead, performed the work quickly and thoroughly. The estimate was lower than other roofers' estimates that I had obtained, and the job he performed was done better than another roofer that I had used previously. Furthermore, he brought me up to speed about the back history of the house and previous work, and told me what to expect in continuing maintenance over the next few years. I would absolutely use him in the future.
Description of Work: I had Michael repair three shingles that had come loose from the high-pitched roof that he had installed eight years previously. I supplied replacement shingles.
