I have a very old house that needs alot of work. I needed the garage taken down and the siding redone after. Tom came out and gave me a quote for the work communicated and explained the whole process to me very well. Its an old house so we ran into unexpected issues and he was flexible and worked with me through them. Did an amazing job making a house that looked rough look like it has life again. I paid in 1/3 increments and had no issues. Whole crew was extremely friendly and pleasant to have.
This business is very sketchy and unprofessional, goes by The demolition man, North star demolition, Newman brothers demolition. after several discussions with tom about demolition of basement, and was paid in full, he never came back after being here himself very little, and leaving the remaining job to someone else. i as a homeowner should not have to chase him. he will tell you ,you are lucky to have him otherwise be ripped off by another company. asks for cash always, plus extra, so you can also buy him pizza and tools, for him. never heard of this. he needs to take a look at other reviews for these companies. He pulls price quotes out of the air, without a contract and does not provide receipts.He is very vague and would not have finished the job if I hadn't kept calling. I noticed lots of downtime during which nothing was being done but talking, truck cleanouts, prolonging the job unnecessarily.As the owner of these companies, Tom should be involved somewhat from start to finishShow

Did not fulfill contract obligations. Took payment and left without completing project.
Hired Tom to take down a shed, old pool, a bunch of trees, windows and siding on a run room and he also referred me to someone to put up a new pool. He was great! Professional and quick. Would use him again!
