"John and his (mostly) family workers showed up on time, stayed late, and did a fabulous job installing steps beside our new home and a huge slab under our house. I would recommend John and Nichole unquestionably if you have a project you want to consider."

"I heard many great things about this company from my friends and I also checked them on internet. I needed to build a deck and I set up a meeting with Palm Construction. Next day they gave me estimate, it was very acceptable so I decided to go with them. Nathan and his crew were great to work with, they were quick, disciplined, clean and polite and they finished job on time and within my budget. And I love my new deck! Thank you Palm Construction!"

SRV, LLC
"Val and Bogdan did quality work finishing our basement (which included a new bedroom and bathroom). They accommodated our needs and the challenges/quirks of our old 1920s house. And went above and beyond sometimes - carried out our old washer/dryer and got the new ones down our basement stairs :oThe small bumps in the road that came were handled promptly by Paul. We were given a detailed estimate and the work stayed within that estimate. Work was done well within the estimated time-frame (only some minor supply/delivery delays that were outside the team's control)"

Shanco Restoration Services, Inc.
"We are very pleased with the painting work our contractor, SHANCO Restoration Services, performed on our home recently. Our two-story home, including the basement, was originally constructed in 1990. We moved to this house in 2014. The house was apparently last painted in 2011 and the paint and siding itself were still in pretty good shape, except the color didnâ t suit us.To ensure our expectations were met, we prepared a detailed Scope of Work upon which bids were solicited (including the make, â model,â and color of paint to be used). We required 2 coats of both the base color and the trim color. We received 6 wide-ranging bids. Although its bid was â middle-of-the-pack,â SHANCOâ s bid actually incorporated our Scope into its bid document, which gave us confidence our desires would be followed. So we awarded them the contract. Most of the house has LP composite siding, so the painters had to be very careful when pressure washing. Although the old paint wasnâ t pealing, the high bidder actually wanted to strip the old paint; this process would likely have required us to fully re-side the house given the fragility of the LP siding!The cleaning, masking and painting work took only 5 days! The size of SHANCOâ s highly-qualified crews varied, depending on the work required any particular day. And as expected, the workers were very cooperative in following the Scope, right down to the smallest detail for masking trim boundaries. They tarped-over adjacent landscaping, concrete surfaces and our new TREX deck to prevent over-spray. The workers were very professional, competent, and friendly to us. They graciously touched-up areas we pointed out. When the painting was completed, they were very diligent in removing all masking materials and cleaning our yard and concrete surfaces of debris.We definitely recommend SHANCO to anyone with an exterior painting project, and we would be happy to use them in the future!"

Black River Demolition, LLC
"Carlos & his team helped with ceiling removal in 2 rooms that required immediate attention due to water damage. We kept expanding the scope of work as we discovered additional areas to remove. Carlos was very accommodating and did an excellent iob of removing the ceiling, cleaning up and getting the job done in a timely & high quality manner.We had 2 5/8 drywall attached to the ceiling board & Carlos took extreme care in ensuring that the pipes & wires were intact when he removed this drywall attached to the ceiling. It was not easy & I am very happy with how he got it done. Additionally Carlos & his team are super punctual & very responsive. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Carlos again. Thank you for the excellent job Carlos!"

Baklinski Home Improvement
"Absolutely top notch. Andrew was very generous with his time and drove and hour to my somewhat remote location to evaluate the project and give me a bid. The men came on time and were very experienced and did an excellent job. The were tidy and finished promptly. An outstanding part of working with Baklinski was the communication from the office. They kept me informed and tracked every step of the job. I would certainly recommend them. Truly a cut above."
