My wife and I wanted to remove a load bearing wall in our house, and hired Bob and his crew for the job. They were absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Bob did brilliant work moving ducts and with his finishing work to make the house look as though the wall had never been there. I not only would, but I would ONLY hire Bob and his guys for any contracting work we need done in the future. I can not express how highly I recommend them.

Bob did an excellent job on both our master bathroom remodel and finishing our unfinished basement. This was the second major renovation Bob did for us and we won't hesitate to call him again for any future projects. Our new master bathroom shower is fantastic! He worked with the designer at ProSource in Cranberry to help us select the perfect tile. The demolition of our old fiberglass shower and walls was done quickly and as cleanly as we could have imagined. He worked through some construction issues quickly and kept us informed throughout the project. He's an honest, dependable, and skillful craftsman. He stayed within budget and persisted with our projects from start to finish without delays or interruptions. Bob gets our HIGHEST recommendation!

My husband and I were very pleased with the entire 5 week experience when working with Bob and would recommend him very highly. His work was excellent and completed in a timely manner. He was lovely to work with and provided us great insight with our projects. He had a number projects he was working on in our home and many that had rather intricate wood working which he completed with perfection. He was able to reuse our existing doors for our pocket doors and was very clear about pricing throughout the project. Bob also was so clean which I very much appreciated! The subcontractors he connected us with did a great job and were priced fairly. We consider ourselves lucky to have worked with Bob and look forward to working with him in the future!

Bob Cullen was referred to us by our plumber after we had a horrific experience with a general contractor. We had already purchased most of the materials for our full bathroom remodel, which were sitting in our dining room. Bob not only got us on his schedule as soon as possible, but he truly took away all of our anxiety during a very stressful time. It was immediately evident upon meeting him that Bob is the consummate professional. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy. He explained everything to us, including different options and construction materials, in a very clear way. His price was very reasonable, and he was willing to do everything we wanted, including time-consuming cutouts in the shower. He was an excellent communicator, and kept us aware of the timetable during each phase of the project. He was so personable and easy to work with that it was truly a pleasure to have him and his assistant, Jesse, in our home. Everything was beautifully executed, and the tile work he did was absolutely fantastic. It is so refreshing to meet someone who is honest, talented, and has such pride in his work. We would never considering using anyone else as long as Bob is in business.
Description of Work: Bathroom remodel, including removal and replacement of drywall for walls and ceiling. Tub-to-shower conversion with floor-to-ceiling tile, and additional tile on floor of shower. Shower included cut-outs and bench with quartz seat and sill. Consulted with quartz contractor to assure proper fit for shower and vanity top. Installed new vanity, vanity light, wood-look vinyl flooring and baseboards. Hung all accessories, including large mirror, large cabinet, and six additional items. Replaced bathroom door and jamb.

Bob was great- I can't recommend him highly enough. He did a good job overall of sticking to the contracted price and finished the project in a timely manner. He did an excellent job communicating with me throughout the project and I always understood where he was with his work. I plan to seek out his services again in the future and am lucky to have found him.

Bob delivered a really outstanding bathroom renovation. We love it. We had some delays (not Bob's fault) due to the counter manufacturing and it was over the holiday season. Bob was really flexible and dealt with everything smoothly and with really excellent communication. The work was very high quality, he was timely each day and did what he said he would, he asked us questions along the way and provided options, and he dealt with changes and adjustments we made along the way. And beyond that, Bob was a very pleasant guy to have around. We really love it. I can't recommend Bob highly enough.

It took a while for him to quote, the price he quoted was twice what I was expecting and $15K more than his nearest competitor, also he said he would not be able to start on the job until 2014. Frankly I don't think that he wanted this job, which is fine, we are moving on with another contractors.

Bob and his workmen were extremely professional and reliable. They were always on time, courteous, and eager to make sure that we were completely pleased with our project. Bob came up with creative solutions to problems that we encountered along in the way in our 60+ year-old home. His solutions were cost-effective and practical. Bob and his crew installed 9 double-hung windows and 9 picture windows. Due to the age of the house, extra attention was required; every window opening was a different size and not square. The original floor was concrete with wooden expansion joints. Bob's crew cut and laid ceramic tile with new expansion joints to preserve the integrity of the new floor. We wanted stone facade on three interior walls of the porch, but were unable to find stone that would match the existing stone on the fourth wall (an exterior wall of the house). Bob came up with the idea of covering that wall with tongue and groove paneling to match other existing woodwork on the porch. We look forward to using Cullen Construction for future remodeling projects.
Description of Work: Enclosed screened-in porch; installed ceramic flooring, windows, paneling, stone facade, storm doors and ceiling fan.

I haven't been having much luck lately finding a reliable contractor, so I figured that a A+ company on Angie's list could get me started. I signed up for Angie's list and found Bob Cullen Construction. Bob Cullen & I spoke on the phone and scheduled an appointment for him to come out to my place and give me an estimate on a large job. Things were going good so far. The day before the appointment "I" took it upon myself to text him to be sure that he was sill coming. To make a long story short, he ended up rescheduling with me twice ( told me once that he had a migraine headache) and on the third try, he never called me back. I suppose he might get a migraine while working on my remodel. Don't think I trust this guy no matter how many good reviews he's had. I'll keep searching. This guy lost out on a good job that would've provided at least a years worth of pay.

Response from Cullen Construction
This is an out right lie! I never scheduled anything with this guy. When I told him I was too busy to look at his job he said and I quote "you might want to reconsider your ansers. This is a $75,000.00 job". Right there I knew I didn't want to work for someone so self important. This pathetic review/lie is because I rejected his job. Thin skinned. You can tell how he becomes insulting in the review. Really? I don't usually ansers bad reviews hardly have any but I had to on this one.

I spoke with Mr. Cullen around June 1 and scheduled an appointment for an estimate on the morning of June 15. After waiting for about an hour after the scheduled appointment time, I called Mr Cullen and left a voice mail message to see if he was coming. Mr Cullen never showed up or returned my call. So I wasted two weeks of time that I could have spent searching for another contractor to do the work. This review is no reflection on the quality of Mr. Cullen's work. Based on other reviews, I am sure that he does a great job when he is hired.

Dave is cost conscious, which is important to me. He and his team also work on one project at a time, which means there was not any starting and stopping with my project. His team was very punctual and always cleaned up thoroughly after themselves each day. No complaints from my perspective - highly recommended. I will use this team again for other house projects, if they are available.

He was a pretty friendly guy. He took the time to come out and visit with us. I guess the only problem was that his pricing is really high. It just seem like he didn't want to do the work - I don't really know why. I mean, it was a 20x12 deck and he quoted $15,000. So, it was kind of - and it didn't have stairs or anything like that too. So, I would say that he's like a nice guy and take the time to come out, but I just thought that his price was extraordinarily high. It was almost double of some of the other estimates that we had, so.

Bob and his crew were awesome! We got several quotes from other contractors for the deck, but Bob was the friendliest and easiest to work with. We did a large deck with a roof over a daylight basement. Composite decking and vinyl railing. Low voltage lighting on the rails and steps with a ceiling fan in the covered area. What most impressed me besides the attention to detail was the cleanliness of Bob's job site. I've seen other contractors work in our community leaving trash piled in the yards - but not Bob. Trash was removed, materials were neatly stacked, and the construction site was blocked off from our children each day. Bob communicated with us every day on how the project was going and what timeframes we were looking at for completion. I can't recommend Bob and his crew enough!

This job was done a long time ago, and I meant to write a positive review of our good experience, but kept forgetting! Bob was quick to get back to me after I initially contacted him, came out to give me an estimate, and did a great job. Very professional, cleaned up at the end of the day, reasonably priced. This was a fairly small job that took about 2 days or so. Would definitely use Bob again for future projects (small or large)

After reading various company reviews on Angie?s List, we contacted Bob this past fall to get an estimate to have two decks and cedar siding repaired this spring. When he came to give us our estimate, we were pleased with the time Bob took to thoroughly and clearly explain his plans for repairing the decks and siding. He also discussed any specific requests we had for the project. Because of the time he took to explain the details of the job and the competitive bid he gave us, we decided to go with Cullen Construction. Bob was thorough with us through our entire project. He got in touch with us to begin the work in late May and also took time to bring a sample of the deck materials to us to ensure we would like the look of the finished project. Bob and his crew started work on the job as planned. They removed and replaced the old railings on the decks and adjoining stairs. They also leveled and reinforced both decks and the stairs by replacing the old posts and adding new, needed support. Upon our request, Bob also built a gate for us at the top of our stairs to make the deck safe for our two young children. In the final phase of our project, they replaced the cedar siding that was damaged and reinforced siding that was in need of repair. We are very happy with all of the work they did on our house. During the entire job, we felt confident that they took the time necessary to do the work thoroughly and with skill. Bob and all of the guys who work for him are knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. We have recommended Cullen Construction to family and friends and will not hesitate to hire them for future projects.
