They have exceeded all of my expectation i would want from a contractor. When i have questions they are answered immediatley, i always have a great lead on my jobs that i am able to communicate with on an everyday base. They do a great job on my home projects and even more than that they have wonderful employees that are very nice to have in the house. Thank you Tilghman Builders I will be highly recommending you to anyone looking for a home project to be completed!!!! **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Tara, thank you so much for the kind words and we really appreciate you taking the time to highlight our biggest asset (our people). We are blessed to have such an incredible team and clients to match! > Eric T. ### All 15 reviews **★★★★★ — timreekie, April 2024** > At our first phone meeting Bob Tilghman was friendly and professional and as we each felt that we could be a good fit Bob scheduled an onsite meeting at our home. From our first face to face meeting, Bob and Joanne Tilghman understood what we were trying to accomplish with our home renovation and they were excited about our project. As the work progressed it was clear that their entire team was enthusiastic about the renovations. The team presented us with an accurate price quote, a timeline that they maintained (despite weather related challenges and unexpected findings on our property that changed the excavation and foundation plan), consistent scheduled onsite progress meetings, workmanship that was excellent, patience with our intra-project changes, creativity in handling unexpected events, attention to detail and a devotion to accurate completion of our punch list. Without hesitation we would hire this team again for our building needs. We rate them as a solid 5 star enterprise. **★★★★★ — Alec Duong, Oct. 2023** > We hired Tilghman Builders for a primary bedroom/bathroom renovation. From the very initial phone call with Bob up until the very end of the project, we always felt like we were in good hands.There was constant communication during the process which made everything run so smoothly and on time. The team is so professional, detailed, and caring with their work and we couldn't be happier with the end result. They really set the bar high and we will definitely be repeat customers for future projects. To the Tilghman team, thank you so much for making our dream bedroom/bathroom a reality! **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Alec, thank you so much for trusting us with your home renovation. It was a smooth project start to finish. You and Adele were excellent clients. If you ever need anything, we're just a phone call away! > Eric T. **★★★★★ — Timothy Galgon (owner) Air Plus Mechanical, Sept. 2023** > We have been providing service for the past couple of years for Tilghman Builders. As a business owner, > i appreciate the value they put into their work and the high standards they hold their Subs too. From the owners to the workers, you can't find a more dedicated and decent group of people. I highly recommend Tilghman Builders for all your building and remodeling needs. **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Tim, thank you for taking the time for such a great review. We appreciate all you have done for our partnership. > Eric T. **★ — Russell B., March 2023** > Hired for addition and kitchen/laundry room project. > Poor Builder could not ever recommend to anyone, unless you want a careless builder who will leave 1" scratches in you brand new cabinets before you even get to use them. > We coordinated a revision to a window size at a pre-construction meeting that Tilghman could not correctly coordinate with the architect. Hence wrong size window ordered and installed. Due to ordering times, ended up with window from Tilghmans graveyard, still not the correct size. > House is older and addition framing on sides of house would need to match width of existing home, Tilghman orders wrong size door depth (jamb) to match existing home. They said how could we know, uhh look at the existing door 20' away on the same side of the house. No attention to detail provided by builder. > Poor carpentry. Lead carpenter fails to anchor addition framing to home. Framing 90% complete when it collapses to the ground with lead carpenter on top of it. > Could not read plans and had to reframe new door in addition more than once. > Not Safe - Very very serious injury to lead carpenter involving a power saw. > Initial lead carpenter left work site a complete mess. > Most of their sub-contractors don't care and Tilghman coordination with them is minimal. Oversight and review is non-existent from Tilghman. Tilghman often left worksite long before subs were done for day leaving it up to me and my wife to clean up after them. > The siding contractor had very little to do, but it took them 3 visits to get it almost right. First crew showed up in a minivan with no front passenger seat and a had a folding chair in the back for the non-driver. > Electrician installed a kitchen outlet 1 inch lower than the rest, not noticed until after back splash installed. > No coordination or checking between mason and Tilghman resulted in concrete patio not lining up with patio roof. > Painters will wash their brushes/pans in the middle of your yard. > Tiler emptied and washed his cutting tray in the pacasandra in our back yard. We have a dog and were left to clean up the glass shards from the glass tile. > Flooring installation - Gaps between vinyl plank flooring and base trim. Overall poor installation. We indicated at the start of the project that we wanted the basement landing off the laundry room to have the same flooring as the laundry room and indicated so it would be included in the price. Tilghman indicated that it was small area and we don't need to worry about it. Flooring installer installs a piece of flooring with a 1" saw cut at the end of the plank that is not covered by base trim. When we asked to have this repaired it was never done. And that point that they "threw" this work in for "free" was thrown back at us. Quote from Bob Tilghman - "The work was done for free. I'm sorry you don't like the outcome. We can remove the flooring on the landing if you like." Is that the type of builder you want to hire and pay well into 6 figures? **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Russell - First I would like to apologize for the bad experience you had with our company. When we did your project back in January 2021, we were in a difficult time of growth and with so many obstacles due to the pandemic and supply chain issues. So many things in the world were changing at that time and small businesses were struggling. We had an increase in demand and had to hire quickly. Unfortunately, for a brief time, that resulted in people in leadership positions that were not a good fit. During your project, these employees were let go and we have since built an amazing team, performing at a very high level. We have since implemented a strong onboarding process for employees and sub-contractors, along with regular training and safety programs. All hires and subs are congruent with our core values; honesty, accountability and kindness. I am so sorry you had to suffer the burden of these issues as you mentioned in your review. I agree the project was not our best showing and I am truly sorry. As we have for over 40 years, we stand by our work and are here if you need us to come back for any repairs. > Eric T > Submitted: 02/08/2024 **★★★★★ — Anne Gilley, March 2023** > Tilghman Builders recently enhanced our home with a complete renovation of three bathrooms and a laundry room and new stairway carpentry. From initial consultation to finalizing details, everyone who worked on our project was positive, courteous, and professional. The Tilghman Builders team met every challenge with an upbeat, solutions-oriented approach. Savlat, our project manager, was skilled, approachable, and responsive in addressing our requests. Tilghman Builders always respected our home and made our comfort a priority. **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Anne, thank you for your kind words. It was such a pleasure getting to know you and to work in your home. Thank you for trusting our company! We're here if you need us. > Eric T. **★★★★★ — Eric G, March 2023** > We could not be happier with Tilghman Builders - everybody in the company, ranging from Bob/Joanne for our first consultation, to Eric, to our lead carpenter JP, to every staff member and trade professional has been a joy to work with. > > Specifically, we had them do a gut renovation - converting an old bedroom into a new, large principal bath. They also did a bunch of re-working of existing space adjacent to our principal bedroom, adding new closets, a new laundry space, and hall-accessible linen closets. > > They were fantastic planners - probably the thing that makes them stand out the most. They had a schedule, and even when things got behind (because you always find something unexpected behind the walls!) they adjusted the schedule, had sub-contractors come in extra days, etc to catch up. We had several unexpected hiccups, including non-level subfloors that required creative solutions, and they worked with us to fix them, stay on schedule, and keep our design intact. They are professional about pricing, both for the original proposal and change orders. The team ran everything by us. They showed up on time, every day, and cleaned up at the end of each day. AMAZING team of professionals who clearly love what they do. > > Most importantly, these guys are the consummate professionals and just good, kind, caring people. They befriended our young kids, who still ask about them - "when are the builders coming back?" They were respectful of a crazy schedule for our family and did everything they could to make this process as easy as possible. > > We'll be hiring them again for the next project at our house! Would give 10 stars if I could. **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Eric G, wow what an amazing review! Thank you for taking the time. We spend so much time to guarantee an exceptional experience for our clients and it feels great to hear this is what you felt! We hope you are doing great and enjoying your beautiful renovation!! You know where to find us for all future renovations. We're only getting better! > Eric T. **★★★★★ — Becky, Jan. 2023** > The Tilghman Team was great to work with! Communicative and professional throughout, they made sure that everything was just as we wanted and stayed very close to the initial schedule. Can't say enough good things about our lead carpenter and the rest of the team. **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Becky, we are blessed with an incredible team. Thank you for noticing and taking the time to post this review! We really do appreciate it! Hope you and Bill are enjoying the new spaces. > Eric T. **★★ — taylor519, Jan. 2020** > Home Owner,kitchen,bath exterior paint and roof,in huntingdon vly. PA > reno an inherited home, started with an addition, 2 car garage. one of the main issues with the house were the steep steps, when we had a meeti g and I asked Bob about the desing changes for the steps he said "I'm not sure" . This was one of the major issues we wanted resolved in the home! The 2 car garage was 65,000. ridiculous! My husband was just diag with a major illness. So we backed off on the addition and garage not knowingwhat the future holds. Wrong cabinets delivered and put up. Everything seemed to be a change order which meant more money. Because we cut back it was obvious that the focus was not on us. They have workers who have other jobs while they are working on mine. New wood kit floor installed was told they would find a color that best matched, well they didn't ask us which color we liked.One day it was just stained. doesnt match ,more orange,than exist ajoining floor, was afraid that would be a change order too. Some areas have bubbles in the finish, and some areas look more satin and others look glossy. Additionally there are larger spaces that have developed within the boards it was installed 1 year ago. Outside they capped the existing windows and door jams,caulk is missing,and the back storm door wasnt closing from the capping, Eric said you need a new door and would cost more money, that happened often. We werent living there at the time so he didnt clean up unless Bob and Joanne were coming to meet me and see the progress. Every week they expeceted money but when i questioned him about issues with whatever was going on I was advised it would be fixed later. kitchen design was confusing started with one person then was passed off to a woman who was rushing and yelling at me about a cabinet design. corner cabinet once installed could not be pulled out because the stove was > in the way. We purchased all new stainless appliances the microwave was scratched, when i contacted the builders i was told that Eric should have told me. > tried to replace the microwave door. 2 appliance repair men ,cabinet removal 1 builder from Tilghmans and I lost 2work days later we got a new microwave. > Lock box was missing when asked i was told Eric has the key and needed the box for another job. We just wanted the key,was told the cleaning people had it. > Cleaning people show up and we were moving stuff in asked for the key they didnt have it. Called Eric, he left it outside under a rock. never trusted this guy! I want to be honest we still owe them money 1700. ,but we had someone out to look at the floor its going to cost more than that to repair it, and I dont want them anywhere near our home. I would not recommend them ever,and didnt trust Eric!! **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > I am so sorry that you had a bad experience with Tilghman Builders. This upsets us a lot. We are extremely proud of our company which has been in business for more than 40 years. Our reputation is based on honesty and integrity. > > We called and texted you and your husband to see if you were satisfied and if there were any outstanding issues. You never responded to us. We would have continued to come back until you were happy. That’s what we do - we have come back years and years later for our customers, to fix things even well beyond the warranty. We have a great reputation and a very big heart, and all of our employees do, too, and they work really hard to please our clients. > > I know you went through a lot of emotions when your husband became sick, and you needed to get out of your twin home as soon as possible for your comfort. We did everything we could to make that happen as soon as possible for you. As you said, we were building you a 2-story addition with plans and permits in place. We were supposed to start excavation the next day when you changed directions. We had no problem reducing the size of your project so you were more comfortable. > > Your steep stair issue was being resolved in your new addition, but when you changed direction, we didn’t have many choices. The choices we did have you didn’t want to do. There was nothing that we could have done to change your stair situation, and for that I am sorry. > > We are an extremely organized company, and sit down with our customers at the beginning of every project. One of the things we talk about are what can go wrong in doing any kind of remodeling on a home. Unfortunately for us, there are just too many hands that go into designing and building projects, that make human error happen. We have a “ what to expect list” which we shared with you that talks about what can go wrong, and how we will correct them if this happens. Unfortunately our cabinet company ordered you the wrong upper color cabinets. This is completely out of our control, and because the color was so close, our guys did not notice this when they put them up. Of course, when you told us, they immediately took them down and we ordered the right ones. We know this can be frustrating, but we fixed it for you. > > The microwave unfortunately came in damaged as well. Again it is out of our control, but we immediately ordered a new one. When we did receive it, one of our guys was wearing a sweatshirt with a zipper, and put a small scratch in it. This was totally our fault, but things do happen, even with our own employees. We do whatever we can to make it right, so we thought it would be easier on you if we just replaced the door of the microwave, but in doing a lot of research we found it wasn’t possible, so we replaced the whole thing. This did take time, but you had a microwave to use, until the new one came in. > > We were staining the floor to match your existing floor as close as we can, so there were no decisions that you needed to make. We would have come back and fixed any bubbles that you had. > > I’m sorry our guys didn’t clean up all the time. We have a reputation for very neat job sites, but perhaps because no one was living there they thought they could do it at the end of every week, instead of every day. You just needed to tell us. Communication is so important and we would have corrected it. > > We are a very detailed company, and have everything written in the proposal of what’s included in your project. We never have a grey area that leads to you not knowing what you're getting. If you want something else, we are more than happy to do it for you, but it will be at an extra cost. > > We have pages and pages of people on our reference list who enjoyed working with Tilghman Builders. Eric, we call him “Junior” (our son's name is Eric as well and he is also one our lead carpenters), is our newest lead carpenter, and is extremely skilled in his craft — so much so, we put him in a lead position. He is such a good guy, and extremely loyal, so it hurts us to hear you didn’t trust him. He is a little quiet, and we can say, he needs to communicate more on a day to day basis of what is going on. That said, if you told us how you were feeling, and the things you weren’t happy with, we would have corrected them immediately. > > We never leave a job, until you are happy with everything. You just never responded back to us, for all the calls, texts, and emails we sent you. We would be more than happy to come back and fix anything that is not up to your standards. We have high standards too, but without communicating to us, our hands are tied. If you get this review response, please respond to any of the ways we’ve reached out to you so we can work on a resolution for you. > > \- Bob and Joanne Tilghman **★★★ — Jennifer Delaney, June 2018** > We are finishing a screened porch remodel with Tilghman Builders now. The overall work product is good. Bob was very timely getting the project started and doing estimates. After that we did not see him until it was time to pick up the final payments. Toni is his project manager and he became more difficult over time especially taking responsibility for a few things that were damaged and delays during construction. We still have small details that aren’t right after sending detailed videos of issues needing completion. We will definitely enjoy our porch but not without frustration getting to the end. **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Jennifer, > We know your project is completed now, and we are very happy with how it turned out, blending with your existing home, and we trust you are happy with it, too. As with any project, we set our timeline and work hard to be planful for unforseen issues. We are sorry that your project did have some challenges, that we worked through together, and with your beautiful new porch as the result. The issues you needed fixed have since been resolved by our team. > We would be happy to help you on any future projects you dream for your home, and wish you only the best. **★★★★★ — Carmen Incorvaia, May 2017** > Had a laundry room added, new roof, gutters and downspouts, new mail box, stairs to garage attic and other improvement along to way. All work was completed to my satisfaction. Workers were polite and accommodating. I highly recommend. **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Thank you... It was a pleasure working with you and Grace. > Joanne **★★★★★ — kmg04, April 2015** > We hired Tilghman Builders to complete a 100 sq ft addition and COMPLETELY gut our 1964 kitchen. It also included 1200 sq ft of hardwood floor refinishing and painting in the family room, dining room and office and stucco the rear brick façade of the house. This was a very LARGE project and after interviewing 6 potential contractors we choose Tilghman Builders. After completing the project ahead of schedule we think back to the other possible people that we might have hired and realized what a terrific choice we made. Although their bid was high, it covered all the areas that we wanted addressed in this project. Bob & Joanne's initial meeting with us was very comprehensive. They listened for 1-2 hours about what we were looking to complete. At the second meeting they provided preliminary drawings and a detailed list of what would be included in the contract. No other builder provided so much up front without a deposit. The reason for hiring was their professionalism, engineering knowledge in completing a project requiring a 22' long beam and frankly their friendly nature. Throughout the 3 long winter months progress was made EVERY day. In fact we were amazed to come home each night to see all that was completed! Eric, the project manager cared so much about every detail. We felt he had as much invested in our project as we did as he took so much pride in everything. He made terrific suggestions and was flexible truly trying to accommodate us in every way. We especially thought the coordination with sub-contractors was handled well and Eric was on-hand to oversee their work. We also saw that when required (getting the beam in and closing up the wall on a cold January day!) all of their guys were here to get the project going and even most other days at least 2 people were here. It seemed our project was a priority to them. For all these reasons we highly recommend Tilghman Builders. A BIG THANK YOU shout out to Eric, Junior, Alan, Tony and Will for all their hard work! You guys are the best! Who knew 100 sq ft could make such a difference? Our kitchen is amazing! > E & K **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > K.G. - Thank you for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review. I miss you and E.G. and would be delighted to bump into you now that my family is in your area. Please reach out if you have any future renovation needs. We are 10X these days and I would be so proud to show you how far we've come. Junior is now a full time estimator and our offices are next to each other. If you're ever in the area, it would make my day if you or E.G. stop in the office to say hi. Free coffee! 263 S. York Rd Hatboro, PA 19040 > Sorry for such a delay in responding. > Eric T. **★★★★★ — ryake, July 2014** > Back in 2009, with three growing boys (at the time, one 9 year old and two 12 year olds), we needed additional space in our home in the Yardley, PA area. The building program we initially discussed was quite modest (add a new master bedroom, home office, and master bath over the garage), but ended up being expanded as a result of some design opportunities that presented themselves as we discussed our needs and the design options that resulted from the space available (add laundry closet off the master bedroom, loft storae space over the master bedroom, bump out into the exsiting garage with a new larger powderoom and a mudroom, incorporate the old powderoom and a small hallway, and open up the old stairs to the playroom downstairs into a newly renovated kitchen). The results was spectacular; changing our whole experience of our home. After five years of enjoying the improvements to our home, we wouldn't change a thing! > Bob and Joanne Tilghman were very helpful in helping us develop our initial design concept, in order to take advantage of some design opportunities that would add a great deal of value to the final product without adding a comensurate level of expense. Bob's team on the job was headed by Jim Callahan, the project manager (whose creative solutions to numerous problems that popped along the way, which is typical on an older home, contributed greatly to the quality of the final product). Also on the team were Ed (who did a nice job renovating our side porch and with all the tile work) and Larry, an indepent electricial who was very helpful in addressing our lighting and electical needs on the project. All in all, we are very pleased with the work that was done and the process we went through to get it accomplished. We would definitely recommend Bob and Joanne's team at Tilghman Builders to do your next home expansion or renovation job. **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > ryake - Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to post this positive review! We hope to see you again soon!! > Eric T **★★★★★ — kmw222, July 2014** > We hired Tilghman Builders to restore our house after a serious fire. Every step of the project was handled and completed as promised. They communicated with us frequently and were able to adjust the project to incorporate changes we came up with along the way. At the end we felt like we were moving back into our previous home as we remembered with some terrific upgrades and additions. We would highly recommend Tilghman Builders for your next project. **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > KMW, thank you for taking time to post a review for our company. We greatly appreciate the kind words! Please give us a call if you need any further renovations done on your home. You would not be disappointed to experience how far we've come since 2002. Thanks again. > Eric T. **★★★★ — lindastruzik, July 2014** > We want to thank the Tilghman Builders for building us a wonderful deck. They always kept us in the loop, were available to answer our questions, and very helpful when deciding on the final design and deck materials. We want to give Tony Rossi a special thank you for putting all the finishing touches on the deck to make it perfect! **Comment from Tilghman Builders:** > Linda, we are pleased to hear you love the deck! Communication is a major part of this process and we appreciate you taking notice. I'm sorry we were unable to reach a five-star rating. Please if there is any interest, I'd love the opportunity to discuss the sticking points you experienced (215-357-3206). I am late in responding but thankfully, I am able to say now in 2024, we are not the company you once experienced. You would not be disappointed if you reach out today or moving forward for any renovations to your home! We would be proud to show you what an exceptional experience looks like!
