Six months into a major construction project with Heritage Contracting Corp, and right before the last renovation project and for the final inspection, Dean presented me with a new contract for $22,998.00 for work that he claimed was done on my project without my prior approval. He said that he withheld the additional expenses in the interest of time. Most of the work was part of, and covered under, our original contract, but Dean insisted that they were “overages” that I needed to cover. Although I felt bullied, I trusted Dean, and eventually agreed to pay a sizable portion of the new contract, but refused to sign it. Dean explained that this is how things are done in construction, and I believed him. > I got lucky. My lights kept flickering, so instead of using Dean’s electrician, I found one near me. The electrician who came to my home happened to be the electrician licensing commissioner in my town. Reviewing the work done under the Heritage name, he found ungrounded light fixtures, inadequate wiring, overloaded circuits, and outlets that were tucked into my beams instead of being properly removed. The commissioner said that the work done was dangerous, not done to code, and doubted it was done by a licensed professional. > I had to pay an additional $1,925.00 to have the electrical work brought up to code. When I complained that I already paid on my initial contract for electrical work, and Dean was asking for an additional $6,700.00. The commissioner stared at me and asked to see my original contract and Dean’s new contract. After reviewing them, he told me that I had been exploited. He said that it doesn’t cost $6700.00 to wire a kitchen, master bed and master bath, and install two light fixtures. > I confronted Dean with this information and asked for proof of his paperwork for the “overage” charges, or my money back. To date, Dean has given me neither. > The photos are work done by Deans company. I had to pay out of pocket to repaint my home, fix my electrical to code, fix sloppy plaster and drywall work, and many other items done without attention to detail. If it wasn’t for my flickering lights, I would have been out of almost 23 thousand dollars based on the trust, faith and confidence I had in Dean, that he subsequently used against me to convince me to pay him money I didn't owe. > At this point, you’re an educated consumer. **★★★★★ — Veronica Fereance, Dec. 2019** > Dean and his team were very professional and were able to commit to my tight deadline for a kitchen/bathroom remodel as I was late in my pregnancy and wanted the house to be ready in time for the baby. They worked quickly, efficiently and it came out far better than we expected! Whenever there were hiccups, Dean was there to talk me off the ledge and to rectify the issue. I would definitely use him and his team again! **★★★★★ — Frank Di Piazza, Dec. 2019** > We used Heritage Contracting for some remodeling on our home, and we wouldn't hesitate to use him again. Dean, the owner, is a honest and decent man, and kept his word throughout the entire process. His attention to detail is second to none, and he gave us a finished product that we were thrilled with. Incompetent contractors unfortunately are a dime a dozen, but honest and skilled ones are a rarity, and Dean is definitely a rarity. We were sold on him within the first 5 minutes of meeting him. **★★★★★ — Lisa Magnotta, Nov. 2019** > It was such a pleasure working with Dean from heritage contracting.I’ve heard such nightmare situations with contractors but ours was extremely pleasant. Dean seemed to be the voice of reason when me and my husband couldn’t agree on something. He came up with clever ideas and solutions for our growing family and made our home work for us. We love our home and couldn’t be happier with the whole process . **★★★★★ — kaela Murphy, May 2019** > I purchased a 1929 Tudor and needed a design/build firm to bring my home into current code standards. It needed the western foundation wall repaired and sealed, two sets of staircases brought up to existing code, the basement main support beam replaced in sections due to termite damage, and the outdated kitchen remolded. > > Dean Samardich, with Heritage Contracting Corp, was given the job because, of the three GC's that came to examine my home, only Heritage was interested in tackling all the projects. > > Here are a few reasons why you should consider Heritage Contracting Corp as a 5 star design/build firm: > > 1 - Education > Dean is a classically trained engineer. Prior to opening his own design/build firm, he worked in corporate America honing his skills on how to apply math, technology and science with structural integrity to designing and creating buildings. His formal education, design elements, and respectful listening skills all mesh to give you a genaral contractor who can build or repair your home to your exacting standards. > > 2 - Passion > Dean throughly enjoys what he does, and it shows. This includes extracting from you your vision, and working with you to bring it to life. He offers suggestions, and will accompany you to help with design choices, or your color preferences, but he's careful to make sure your aesthetics are evident in the final touches. His enthusiasm makes it fun, but your ideas make it yours! > > 3 - Past/Present/Future > Where education and passion were extremely noteworthy to me, the thing that impressed me the most was Dean's skill to restructure the past elements of my home to bring it up to code, all without losing its quaint charm, and adding features he felt would increase the resale value for any future real estate options I might look into. > > This was so forward thinking to me. My project wasn't just an opportunity for Dean to make money, but he treated it as an investment for me to gain the highest resale value possible if I decided to sell it one day. > > My home is gorgeous. Dean gave me a kitchen so beautiful that one of his vendors asked me was it a "show" kitchen. He gave me a two story laundry chute, a master suite with a walk in shower, and design elements that factor in safety and aging comfortably in my home. And where I became impatient for finishing touches, I honestly couldn't see myself working with any other design/build firm. > > This statement, alone, is the highest compliment you can give a company. **Comment from Heritage Contracting Corp:** > WOW!! > Kaela that is a beautifully written review and I can't thank you enough. Working with you this past year I have learned that your writing talent is far and above one of your best skills!! You may have missed your calling. Working on your home presented a lot of questions, thought and effort from you, I and the whole team. I've said a lot of these things to you face to face, but I do this work because I really enjoy design and construction and especially a challenge. It really does bring me joy when a client is so happy with their new or renovated home and no-one expresses themselves more openly then you!! Can't say it enough but thank you so much!!! > Dean **★★★★★ — Rob Hallam, Dec. 2017** > As a mill-work supplier I have worked on a good number of projects with Dean. Not only can he get the job done but he has an excellent eye for design as well. He has done a great job on projects of many varying budgets from very high end to simple window and door replacement. **Comment from Heritage Contracting Corp:** > Thank you Rob!! Very much appreciated. It has been easy to work with you the past 10 plus years because of your professionalism and reliability. Hoping for another 10 plus years!!! **★★★★★ — Mark Hennig, June 2017** > We are so happy that we chose Dean to build our new home. Not only did he and his people build us a HOME, he made us feel like he was building his own home. Thank you Dean! **Comment from Heritage Contracting Corp:** > Thank you Mark and Rosemary!! It's not often that I have clients who are so well prepared, open to ideas and suggestions and still a pleasure to work with on a daily basis!!! I get a good feeling every time someone asks me about your home!! Thank you so much and enjoy!!!! **★★★★★ — jackinast, March 2017** > I hired Heritage Contracing Corp for a very extensive home renovation in 2010. They were very professional and attentive to all of our needs & requests. **Comment from Heritage Contracting Corp:** > Thank you so much Jackie!! I'm fortunate to have good clients like yourself with an eye for color and design. Dean **★★★★★ — Darshan Patel, March 2017** > Heritage did a major renovation on our house a few years ago and we are very happy with their professionalism, knowledge, punctuality and work. They also have excellent subcontractors. Their price is a little on the higher side but we believe we got what we paid for. We would hire them again without hesitation should a need arises. **Comment from Heritage Contracting Corp:** > Thank you so much Darshan!! Working closely with you and your mother was a pleasure each day!! It made our days shorter. Thank you!!
