Commonwealth Contracting LLC

We called 3 contractors for estimates and Mike was first to respond, returning our call by 5 the same day. He came out shortly before Christmas to see the job and prepare an estimate. He is a polite, personable young man and we enjoyed working with him very much. Much to our mutual surprise, we discovered we both lived in the same small suburb of Cleveland before migrating south. His workers were always on time, neat, and friendly. They took care to protect our floors and keep the construction dirt to a minimum. Mike was here checking frequently and in touch with us daily. He is always prompt to answer his phone. We love our bathroom remodel and were happy to find that we were within $50 of Mike's original estimate despite making some changes and additions.

Guys were very good to work with and we were very pleased with the cabinetry they built for our bathroom.  We had some problems with the tile grout, but they came out promplty twice to make it right.  I wish my paint job matched the level of work they did on my bathroom.

Mike Eippert and the Commonwealth Contracting team did an excellent job from start to finish.  From initial bid visit  to completion of last details,
Mike E was concise, respectful, and flexible even when I changed my mind about specific details.  Mike gave good guidance but understood that the homeowner's satisfaction with the finish product is his primary goal.  He coordinates a team of skilled specialists, Kyle did a tremendous job - he built and installed beautiful cabinets including specific design requests and changes. Mike W. addressed all electrical concerns. 
 I highly recommend Mike Eippert and the Commonwealth team!  Mike is dedicated to the customer and works to partner with you to accomplish your goals. 

Mike Eipert is an excellent contractor.  He was always punctual.  He explained how everything would be done and gave us an approximate time line.  Because of the ceilings we had to move out of the house and pack all of our small things.  The painters moved the larger pieces of furniture.  They were able to finish the ceilings and prime the woodwork in a little over a week.  Our house is about 1700 sq. feet.  
He gave us a cost estimate and itemized everything.  There were a couple of extra things we wanted, but it was running over our budget, so he was glad to take those items out.  He did not try to "sell" us on anything extra.
We were thrilled with our ceilings.  One of our two ceiling fans in the great room got damaged by the painters.  Because it was old and we wouldn't be able to find a match for it, Mike bought and installed two new fans. 
Overall, Mike was excellent, but the painters he employed were not excellent.  We were not pleased with some of the painting- a little sloppy in some areas and a few missed spots. The painters came back four times and still we were not 100% pleased.  Mike was very responsive, but my husband did not want the painters to come back again.  Mike offered to give us a discount if we gave him any more work.
We would definitely use Commenwealth Contracting again, but not the painters.
The estimate he gave us was right down to the penny and the job was finished on time.

We encountered the full list of challenges in this project. However, with each problem that arose came a proper and professional effort to resolve it and sustain the quality finished product.
Removing walls and gutting the kitchen down to  the studs in some areas makes for a logistical problem in a high rise building. They coordinated with the management and removed all materials and appliances without damage to the buildng. Since hardwood  floors had already been done a few years earlier, it was touchy to keep from damaging them. The floor had to be redone where the wall had been and it was all made to look like it never happened.
The marble counter tops came out great. There are no seams due to a thoughtful, redundant process of designing the cabinets so as to avoid counter seams.
Each step of the process included constant discussion to double check with the customer and assuring satisfaction. There were some tough problems to solve due to the age of the building and the nature of the original structure and surfaces. Mike kept his team at it till it came out right.
Of all the many worries in hiring a contractor, the one emphasized first and foremost was - say what you will do and do what you say! Mike fulfilled this, making the working relationship a success. They are good folks and will work till it's right.

Mike and his crew are the most professional contractors it has been my pleasure to do business with.  Mike estimated the project to be completed in about 5 weeks which was accomplished.  All the crews working for him are professional and committed to giving the best service possible.  Everyone arrived exactly on time each day and they were very careful to clean up at the end of the days work.  Mike was in touch almost daily and let me know what to expect as the work progressed.  The new floors are a very good match to our existing oak floors which are over 20 years old.  The master bath remodel is spectacular and I love my new granite counters which replaced laminate. I would not hesitate to recommend Commonwealth Contracting to anyone wishing for a pleasant experience with a remodeling project.

We could not be happier with the results of our project. Mike was as responsive and professional as he could be. He called on a regular basis to update me on the progress and was available to meet with me at any time, including nights and weekends. He provided great advice along the way and his recommendations to vault the ceiling and install new gutters were great decisions. The project moved very smoothly and was finished in the timeframe he estimated beforehand. Even after completion, Mike remains available to address any questions or tie up any loose ends. Mike gave me a completely new opinion of contractors and I wouldn't hesitate to use Commonwealth Contracting again.

The process was superior to other remodels we have done in the past including building a new home.  Mike and his team were amazing to work with; ethical, credible, competent and dependable.  We met with Mike and he gave us a date of completion and was willing to absolutely commit to it.  He delivered more than promised ( 3 weeks) and would have been done a week earlier except for an order that I made that was not in as quickly as I thought.  He promises that his crew will be there everyday and that he will communicate with you in a timely fashion.  He met and at times exceeded our expectations.  The initial demo was a day as he explained and everyday thereafter he was on target.  He has a crew that is competent, professional and personable.  They are easy to communicate with and more than willing to help in any way.  They were all readily available as was Mike.  I never had to wait to know what was happening, Mike told me daily what the plan would be and it was always as he explained.  Amazingly, the target completion date was three weeks and it was closer to two than three.  Additionally, they have utmost respect for your property and are very careful about covering areas to keep out any dirt and dust.  They clean up after themselves. I even had a neighbor make a postive comment about this as there was a lot of work in the driveway with electric saws etc.  The finished product was beautiful.  We love all of it.  The tile work is wonderful and professional both on the shower and floor.  The electrical and plumbing is great and the built in cabinets are amazing.  The whole team is to be commended for their superior work.  We had an issue with some leakage from the shower after completion and they stayed with the project until they had the problem figured out and resolved.  I have no doubt that  if I had an issue and called Mike, he would take care of it.  I have spent a number of years teaching service training to new employees and I would give Commonweath my highest marks in everyway.  I found them on Angie's list and trusted that the comments (all positive) were accurate.  They were indeed and you can be assured if you hire this company you will be very satisfied. Thank you Mike, please send our finest regards and thanks to all involved.  We love our bathroom and the shower is a real HIT!!! Thanks to Angie's list, this is the second vendor I have used and will not fear to use others.

Mike was very professional and helpful. He gave us a well organized and detailed quote for the work.
We had some delay initially while awaiting the permit, but once the permit was in hand, work went quickly and efficiently. Mike made sure we were happy w the work that was done, and made sure all our questions were answered. The quality of the work was good. We were very satisfied at the end of the project and will call him with future projects.

The Commonwealth Contracting L.L.C. Team worked daily and always left my house clean.  Each member of his team were very professional and took pride in the job that they were performing.

We are not from the area so we were not familiar with any of the local businesses in the construction / remodeling industry.  We chose Commonwealth Contracting based on the reviews from Angie's list and we are so glad we did.  We couldn't have been more pleased with their work.  From beginning to end Mike was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, responsive, helpful, and fair. Mike was very willing to go out of his way to help with the inconveniences of us living out of state.  The work of Mike's crew is high quality.  We especially appreciated all the minor but numerous details that he addressed at the end to make everything perfect.  Mike is also very good at taking care of the business matters, always staying on top of our numerous changes and being very fair in the timing of our payments.  We would highly recommend Commonwealth Contracting.

Excellent service, responsiveness, integrity and professionalism.  Highly recommended.

We recently purchased a beach cottage and decided to try Angies List to look for a general contractor.  I contacted three and was the most impressed with Mike Eippert.  I live out of state and requested that he go to the house and we do a walk through over the phone.  He did and we spent over an hour on the phone discussing the scope of work and Mike was providing imput.  It ended up he was the only contractor that took the time to understand the scope of work and provide an accurate bid.  I also advised him that I had a six week time frame the complete the remodeling.  He stated that he had four crews and could complete the work within my time frame.  I had also hired Trevor Draper of TMD Architects and Mike worked very well with him to finalize the plans.  I received the estimate and was very impressed with the amount of detail that was included.  I made a number of change orders during the process and they were also itemized and billed separately.  My wife and I came down about ten days before the project was supposed to be completed and stayed for the remainder of the project.  I have never seen a nicer, harder working group of people in my life and I have renovated houses for the past 30 years.  Jamey, Kyle, Mike, Logan, Jermey, Gordon, the painters and all the others hit the gound running each morning and worked 10 to 12 hour days in heat well over 100 degrees to bring the project in on time.  We ranged between 10 to 15 people working each day.  Each night they stopped and cleaned everything up and made sure we were comfortable since we were staying in the house.  I think Mike has a big advantage over alot of contractors due to most of the people working for him are part of his team and he is not dependent on subcontractors.  The quality of the work was excellent.

We had a very good experience with Mike Eippert and the subcontractors who did the work.  We met with Mike several times to discuss the job, and he was helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process.  He and his team were willing to make adjustments and good at dealing with unexpected issues, like a very sticky plastic flooring material that unexpectedly showed up under the carpeting in one of the bedrooms -- they patiently dug it up and proceeded with the hardwood refinishing.  Helped with moving furniture, etc.  Everyone involved did a good job and was very professional. We did end up spending more than we planned to, but at every step Mike was up-front and specific about costs.  I would definitely recommend this company.

Mike Eipert of Commonwealth contracting was a professional from start to finish.  He worked with my wife and I to get a clear picture of what we wanted and offered designs in a cost-effective way.  He showed extreme patience in assisting us with our decisions and talking us through the project despite our ignorance.  He worked through our strict timeline to complete all of his tasks as promised.  He and his team also accommodated other work being done on the house and worked around them on their schedules. Mike was available any time I had questions, changes, or requests.  His entire team was clean, courteous, and professional.  They always left the work area clean at the end of the day.   All of the work completed was above and beyond expectations in quality.  The final price was below estimate whenever possible.  Most importantly, the project was completed exactly on time as promised.I would recommend Commonwealth contracting to anyone.  I will certainly be using them again for future projects.

It was a pleasure to work with Commonwealth Contracting,! All my phone calls were returned promptly, estimates were fair and given promptly. We experienced no additional down time on the rentals. The work was completed exactly as promised and we couldn't Be more pleased with the results ! We have received so many compliments on the renovations. I will certainly be using this firm in the future!

We undertook a very thorough selection process of identifying what contractor to use for the project, and had a number of contractors come to the home to provide estimates (initial estimates were only provided for the popcorn ceiling removal and trim/handrail/baseboard project).  Commonwealth Contracting LLC was the most prompt, prepared, and thorough for this activity, and the quote came in at the lowest amongst the respective contractors.  
Once an agreed starting date was set Commonwealth worked extremely hard in order to meet the ending time dictated by myself due to some visitors arriving.  The entire ceilings were removed and repainted within the span of one week, the crew worked many days with extended hours in order to make sure the timing was met.  
Upon completion of the textured popcorn ceiling work we were impressed with the quality and timeliness of the work that we decided to go ahead with painting the wall/handrails/baseboards throughout the home.  Commonwealth was very accommodating to significant project scope creep and responded by stating the activity on the Monday following the request on the previous Friday.  The work was then completed by the following Friday.  
Overall we were very please with the work Michael and rest of the crew at Commonwealth Contracting LLC did, the quality of work by the team was very thorough and met our very particular expectations.  They were very accommodating to work with us on various timing constraints, response to various inquiries, and was very good about communicating progress of the project (positive or negative), as apposed to us having to ask the questions.  I would highly recommend Commonwealth, and we will certainly use them for various projects in the future.

My husband and I were preparing to put our house on the market and we needed some repair work done on our home that was built in 1959. I spoke with Mike Eippert, and the next week I had an estimate. He came to my house and inspected underneath, assessed what needed to be done and provided my with the possible cost. The following week, a crew came out and completed the work in a day. Everyone was pleasant, professional, and completed quality work in a timely manner. Mr. Eippert followed up with me to make sure I was satisfied with the work. The entire process was an easy, pleasant transaction.

They did a great job!  Mike provided a written estimate and was willing and happy to make any (and many!) changes before and during the process.  He and his guys did a great job of keeping me informed of the work the were performing, work they were going to perform and any changes/issues while performing the work.  Everyone was very professional, proficient, friendly and polite.  They were able to complete all the work sooner than I expected and all work was of high quality and reasonably priced.

We prepared a very crude sketch map and the contractor used this to construct the bathroom.  He and the subs had excellent suggestions along the way.   We picked all the accessories from Lowes and paid for them and the contractor picked up the larger items. The job went very well. The contractor used several subcontractors which is a good thing because we got experts in the main trades who all were very professional. This job went like clockwork and came in under the estimated budget.

Mike at Commonwealth Contracting was very professional and thorough in his process.  He was the only contractor I felt provided me with viable alternatives regarding the work and was prompt in his scheduling and completion.  His team also acted very professionally.  The price was fair and completed to my satisfaction.  I highly recommend Commonwealth Contracting.

Our experience with Mike and his crew went very well. We had several small issues that were immediately resolved. Mike uses several different crews but was in contact with me daily checking to see how everything was going and to give me updates on scheduling. He had given me a timeframe of 4 weeks to complete our job and he finished in 3. 
We had gotten several quotes and Mike was a little higher priced, but the attention to detail and the personal interaction outweighed the price.
We have several other projects that we are thinking about doing, and Mike and his crew will be on the top of our list when the time comes to do them.
Job well done.

The project went extremely well. Commonwealth sent excellent people for the deconstruction. The carpenter, Kyle, did a superb job putting together the cabinets as well as building some special purpose cabinets that were integrated smoothly with the other cabinets. One pillar was removed and the electrical wiring redone. The electricians provided by Commonwealth were very knowledgeable and very efficient. The plasterers who rebuilt the walls after the old appliances had been removed did an excellent job, as did the painters who repainted the walls after the work had been done. The site was cleaned on a daily basis. All of the workers were pleasant and extremely hard working. The project was finished on time and with no surprises. My wife and I are very pleased with our new kitchen which is light, bright and airy and appears to be at least twice as large as the old kitchen although in fact it is the same size.

It went very well, the service was very professional and I left the store key with them and trusted them completely.  Mike is very punctual, responsive and personable.

Went great.  Came out and gave a great estimate.  Work was done a few days later.  No problems, very professional
