Reviews for 518 Remodel

Review from Russell R.

We have used the services of 518 Remodel on two separate occasions. Their service and work have always been outstanding. In the fall of 2017 they added 8 feet to our garage and then built and outfitted a mudroom/ laundry room for us. This was an extensive project which required construction, excavation, paving, electrical, plumbing, painting, concrete and drywall work. All this work was completed to the highest standards. We again, hired this company in March 2021, to do some attic work and to retile 2 bathrooms. Here again we were fully satisfied and impressed with the jobs that were done for us. Sal, the owner, has subcontractors commence work in a timely manner, and he always returns your call and attends to all of the customers needs. This is truly an excellent full-service construction company that performs high quality work. Services Rendered: Construction of garage addition, construction of laundry/mudroom, excavation for drainage, repave driveway, add attic, and retile 2 bathrooms

Review from Nancy B.

The old heavy door, tracks, and opener were removed and disposed of. A new Liftmaster double door, tracks and opener were installed. The door looks very nice, and enhances the looks of the house. It is very quiet opening and closing. The beautiful wagon wheel shaped windows are at a height that I can see out of, and I love being able to look out the windows when I am working in the garage. It is great to be able to control the door from the HomeLink button on my car's rear view mirror. Services Rendered: Replace an old windowless wooden double garage door with a new triple insulated door. I was able to choose the color of the door, the style of the decorative windows, and the height of the windows.

Review from Maria M.

Once the town approved the project; it went smoothly. He was not the least expensive contractor BUT he was very honest, told us a head of time what the cost would be and why. Had us compare with other estimates and it was just as what he said. I would so hire again Services Rendered: Garage Built; car port torn down; water in basement issue resolved; yard drainage issue resolved

After seeing 518 Remodel's great work on another home, I gave Sal a call and couldn't be happier with the results. Sal is by far the best contractor I have ever hired. His communication skills and attention to details are exceptional. During the project, Sal met me at my home several times and updated me on the phone. Sal treats every project as if it were his own and makes sure you are happy with the results. With that said, Sal and his crew went above and beyond building a beautiful 24x24 garage. His workers are fast and efficient. In only a few days, the concrete slab and entire main structure were up. Sal personally inspects every project and makes sure things are done right, paying attention to minute details. The carpentry job inside the garage was challenging and turned out beautiful (Thank you Leonard). Sal and his crew were also very accommodating in doing side projects on my home and doing last minute changes. Not to mention, making several suggestions that I'm glad I went with. If you are a person that wants a project done right, to the best standards, I highly suggest you go with 518 Remodel. Services Rendered: 24x24 Garage plus home improvements

The entire job took less than three weeks once we were issued a permit. Sal did everything necessary to obtain the demo and building permits. Several major items had to be taken care of in order to build the garage which included tree removal, land survey and asbestos survey for demo of the old garage. Sal provided me with several contacts and suggestions to get the trees and surveys done quickly and at a reasonable cost. We had an existing garage that Sal had removed in a day. Sal spent a lot of time answering all my questions and kept in touch the entire time on a day to day basis. He helped us design the garage layout and was able to work within our budget. Sal was very patient with my needs and fully explained why and how they would build my garage. Sal is very knowledgable and not only explained why something should be done a certain way but why not some other way. Sal and his crew not only meet code but also exceed code where it really counts. The Alaskan slab had a rebar grid and double rebar around the perimeter in addition to steel mesh. Code only requires the mesh. Sals design creates a very strong slab that doesn't add a lot of cost for what you get in the end. He also used rebar in the concrete apron in front of my garage. The masons did an amazing job on the concrete. I could see my reflection in the power trowel finish and the sidewalks are perfection. All the lumber used to build the garage was hand selected and only straight lumber that was free of mold and major defects was used. The fit and finish of the garage is flawless. I have walked around it many times and still get impressed. I work in construction and I understand what good work is. The flashing and gutters are also very nicely done. The garage doors are very high quality and when I did a heat load calculation I was pleased to find how well the doors were insulated compared to other designs. They have a polyurethane foam. The garage door openers work great and have a lot of nice features. While building the garage Sal was able to have his crew make repairs to my house that included fixing my roof that lifted at one edge, repair siding damaged by my weed wacker and replace soffit flashing that was improperly installed by another contractor. It was nice to have this work done at the same time and put my mind at ease. It saved me money too because they were already on site with all there tools. Overall I am very happy with my garage and walkways. Sal educated me along the way and was always on time, has a great attitude and works hard to please. I called him all hours of the day and if he didn't answer he responded very quickly. People driving down my street stop and compliment my garage almost every time I'm outside. It's really a work of art. The work site was always kept tidy. Sal kept the area swept and used a magnet to pick up any nails and staples. I could go on forever about how great everything went but you will have to experience it for yourself. If your looking to have work done on your home and you really care about getting it done right then call 518 remodel and see what Sal can do for you. You won't be let down. Services Rendered: Sal and his crew built a 24x30 garage with a 10x30 attic space. Other services included pouring concrete sidewalks, grading of the property and small repairs to my house on the roof and siding.
