The crew was professional and did excellent work. Todd and his staff helped us throughout the process from demolition to design. They truly care about their quality of work and want their customers to be happy with the results. Recently we had an issue with the deck settling and sinking in a few spots, and they returned to make sure the problem was corrected to our satisfaction. I would trust them implicitly with any future remodeling projects and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy contractor. **★★★★★ — HU-250730709, Jan. 2021** > Todd and crew remodeled our kitchen. From design to construction to finished product, Todd kept our remodel on track, on time and in budget. HIs crew is professional and friendly. Todd was always available to go over the project and was very thorough in his explanations. Top notch company with top notch tradesmen. **Comment from Tischendorf Contractor Services:** > Thank you for the nice review! We enjoyed working with you. **★★★★★ — John Becker, June 2020** > Mary and I moved to Pittsburgh in the summer of 2019. We bought our condo later in the year and began our plans to remodel it. We are Pennsylvania natives, but lived in the eastern and central part of the state and were not familiar with Pittsburgh area contractors. > > We began to interview several contractors to discuss our ideas about what could be done in the remodel. Most of the contractors were cooperative, but some were more so than others. Some contractors included design features that others did not. By the time we completed the interviews with these contractors we were happy to settle on Tischendorf Contractor Services because we felt they listened to what we had in mind, we found them easy to work with, their costs fit our budget and their range of services fit our every need as the remodel plan was formed. > > We began the remodel in January, 2020 and were eager to complete the process by the end of March. By mid-March, however, the state issued orders to shutdown construction activities because of COVID-19. At that point we were only a few weeks away from completing what we started. At the time the shutdown order was filed, there was confusion about what was covered, what was excluded, and whether an exception could be obtained for a project that was only a few weeks away from completion. Independent of our urging Todd inquired about the ability to complete our job and was granted the authority to do so. > What we started is now essentially completed with some minor work left to do that will be done in the coming months. We are settled into the remodeled unit and are enjoying what we bought. > > In sum, we are pleased with the work that Todd’s crew has done as we got to know many of the regulars throughout the construction process. The prices he quoted were the prices we paid. After making an initial payment, we paid for work that was done during the prior week. This kept us up to date and allowed us to put off some of the work until later. Our experience with Todd and his workers was pleasant and professional. We are pleased with our decision, the outcome of the work and we are happy to offer this recommendation to others who are looking for construction and remodeling services. > > If that is what you need, give Todd a call. **Comment from Tischendorf Contractor Services:** > John, > Thank you for the nice review! We really enjoyed working with you. Enjoy your beautiful new spaces! **★★★★★ — Erin St John, Dec. 2019** > Yes. We are very pleased with our dream kitchen, new fireplace, and deck roof. Todd and his entire crew really listened to what we wanted and made it happen in our small Mt Lebanon kitchen! The crew was very professional and respectful of our home and dog! They rebuilt a fireplace that looks like it was the original in 1927. They were extremely patient when I struggled to make decisions or I was unsure about something. Tischendorf contracting went above and beyond for us! The pictures speak for themselves. We could not be happier with our finished product! **Comment from Tischendorf Contractor Services:** > Thank you for your review! We love making our clients happy! **★★★★★ — Tracy London, May 2019** > We hired Tischendorf Contractor Services to remodel our sunroom and we’re very happy with the results. They turned the worst room of the house into the best! We had a very positive experience with this company and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and use them again in the future. **Comment from Tischendorf Contractor Services:** > Tracy, > Thank you for your review. We enjoyed working with you. We are so glad you are happy with your new space. **★★★★★ — Sara Addler, April 2019** > Tischendorf recently completed our kitchen renovation and we couldn't love it more. From the very first interaction with Doug, the sales manager, we were impressed by the knowledge, professionalism and the honesty we experienced. Everybody that we worked with throughout the process truly took the time to go over every detail and really listen to what we wanted. We really trusted their recommendations and guidance through our decision making process and felt very confident going into the project. > > The project itself went very smoothly and the contractors were top notch. They were friendly, talented and did a good job cleaning up the dust and debrief through demo at the end of each day. The end result of our project exceeded out expectations. Our new kitchen is so beautiful and functional and it has really enhanced our daily life with two toddlers and busy working parents! > > Overall we were highly satisfied with our entire experience, so much so that we immediately decided to start another project - our half bath with Tischendorf. We would definitely recommend Tischendorf to anybody looking to work with a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced team that goes above & beyond in delivering for their customers. **★★★★★ — Elysia T, Jan. 2019** > Tischendorf Contractor Services is great! They were easy to work with, professional, and courteous throughout the entire process. They were also willing to accommodate a tighter budget and worked with us to make sure we did not spend more than we wanted to spend. Their customer service was truly top notch! They kept the work space clean and orderly and did a great job. We plan to use them again in the future. **Comment from Tischendorf Contractor Services:** > Elysia, Thank you for the nice review. We enjoyed wotking with you. **★★★★★ — Troy Granite, Dec. 2018** > We've been working with Tischendorf Contractor Services for a long time. Couldn't be any happier with them. Their work is, and they stand behind their work. Honor to be working with you. **★★★★★ — Robert Blough, Oct. 2018** > We hired Tischendorf Contractor Services for a few projects around our house including an upgrade of our kitchen. During the time we first contacted Tischendorf Contractor Services until the work began, we changed the size and scope of our project. We appreciated the open communication with the team to make the changes necessary in modifying our project. We felt the crew truly cared about all of the details. Ed went above and beyond to check in with us and make sure everything was being done to our liking. The crew did a great job of cleaning the job-site thoroughly each day when they finished working. > At the end of our project, Todd and Marla Tischendorf personally came out to our house to review our project. They impressed us with how important our satisfaction is to them and their company. Todd even suggested some unique ideas to address some challenges we had. > We recommend Tischendorf Contractor Services for any of your remodeling needs. **★★★★★ — Genna Cavanaugh, May 2018** > When my husband and I moved into our Mt. Lebanon home in 2001, we said we would do a full kitchen makeover. It took 16 years to get around to it, but in 2017 Tischendorf helped us finally realize our goal. > > Tischendorf helped us plan the space that used to be our dining room and kitchen with all the things we would need for a livable eating area. The results are wonderful. We thought Tischendorf had done a really good job until we started talking to others in our area who were remodeling kitchens. Then, we realized that Tischendorf had done an AMAZING job. It took only 8 weeks to finish the project which included taking down a support wall; gutting two rooms to the studs; ripping up the floor; removing a door and window and bricking up the exterior; placing a support beam in the ceiling; laying a new hardwood floor; building a custom L-shaped bar and putting in all the cabinets, appliances, and countertops. The price was reasonable and the guys who came to our house every day were SO courteous, kind and diligent. We actually missed seeing them everyday after the project was done. How often can a homeowner say that? **Comment from Tischendorf Contractor Services:** > Genna, thank you for your kind review. We think your kitchen is amazing too! Thanks again, we enjoyed working with you. **★★★★ — Elisa Doyle, May 2018** > Recommended from a friend who had used Tischendorf. After correcting a few minor issues, the results in my bathroom remodel were excellent. The workers were polite and diligent and the office check-in's were appreciated throughout the project. I have received praise from my family and friends of the final results. Thank you. **Comment from Tischendorf Contractor Services:** > Thank you for the review, Lisa. We enjoyed working with you. We are very happy you are enjoying the bathroom. Please let us know if there is anything else you need. **★★★★★ — Debbie Massetti, Oct. 2017** > When it comes to renovating a kitchen that includes knocking down walls and moving water lines, gas lines etc. it can be overwhelming. Not knowing where to start Todd and his crew guided us into one of the best decisions of our lives. The entire project from start to finish was smooth and on time. His talented employees who pay attention to every detail were on time, neat and helpful throughout the process. I have given Todd's name out to many of our friends and would recommend his company to anyone. If your thinking of remodeling give them a call. You won't be disappointed!! ## Selected projects - [Noble Court Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/noble-court-bathroom-pj-vj~6886549) - Location: Pittsburgh, PA - Photos: 6 - [Bartlett kitchen addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bartlett-kitchen-addition-pj-vj~6870234) - Location: Pittsburgh, PA - Photos: 9 - Description: The client’s existing kitchen was very small and oddly placed, with a separate area that contained the pantry, laundry closet and a small space for an office. Their kitchen was too small to allow more than one person to be in it at one time. The disjointed spaces were not functional and made communication difficult for the clients when working in these spaces. We removed a small addition that was half the length of the back of the house and built a new addition extending the entire length of the… - [Bartlett 2nd and 3rd Floor Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bartlett-2nd-and-3rd-floor-bathrooms-pj-vj~6885538) - Location: Pittsburgh, PA - Photos: 7 - Description: For their 2nd floor bathroom, the client wanted to increase the functional space and storage of their bathroom but was limited to the confines of the physical footprint. We were able to increase the usable space by removing the bulkhead over the tub as well as the large radiator. We installed radiant heat flooring under the tile and we increased their storage by installing a deeper linen cabinet, vanity with drawers and open shelving over the toilet.

To connect the kitchen and seating area, we installed matching new hardwood floors, flush crown molding. - [Vermont Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vermont-kitchen-pj-vj~6313158) - Location: Pittsburgh, PA - Photos: 3 - [Sleepy Hollow III Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sleepy-hollow-iii-kitchen-pj-vj~6694862) - Location: Mount Lebanon, PA - Photos: 13 - Description: About this project… The client wanted their kitchen open to the rest of the home for entertaining.
