Riptide Contracting LLC

Eric did a great job on my ribbon driveway and sidewalk. So professional, courteous. The area was left really clean when he was done. Would highly recommend!

Riptide's owner Eric and his workers did an excellent job building my rear deck. It turned out better than I had expected . I also asked him to install curb stone in the front of my home, it looks great. Eric was different than most contractors I have hired ( in a very good way) he and his workers were very professional and kept the work area very clean every night . Eric also kept me well informed through-out the entire project. I would not hesitate to hire Riptide again for other projects. Eric also had very good ideas about the project.

Professional, reliable and on-time and budget. Highly recommend them as I have worked with them on a number of projects.

Very professional job on my deck remodel. He knew exactly what we wanted and exceeded our expectations in what he delivered. A high-end, quality deck that matched the house perfectly. He treats his workers and customers with respect and is very attentive and makes sure he gets the details right. While the job took longer than expected, it was not within his control. I highly recommend Riptide!

Eric replaced our wood deck with Trex deck. He and his crew did a very good job. He is knowledgeable and reliable.

Riptide Contracting installed a deck for me a few months ago. I would recommend them to anyone who are need of any kind of construction work. I was so impressed by how fast they got back to me after I called them to get an estimate. If anyone out there has ever had to call for a free estimate, you know how surprised I was to hear from Riptide a few hours after I placed my initial call. They did beautiful work, and also cleaned up the backyard. It was like they were never even here, except for my new deck. working with Eric and his workers were a great experience.

My husband and I lost our home due to hurricane Sandy. After meeting numerous contractors and receiving estimates , Riptide Contracting LLC is by FAR the best decision we have ever made! We hired Riptide Contracting LLC immediately to complete the work on our drop and set modular home, to build our full front porch and the back deck. Eric and the Riptide crew have gone above and beyond to get us back into our new home! They are a local company that I recommend to anyone for any service you need done on your home. Eric is very quick to get back to you and make sure that you understand every step of the way in the whole process. You can see the pride and skill they put into their work and that's what makes it such a pleasure to watch them treat your home as if it was their own! Looking forward to future projects with Riptide Contracting LLC :)

Hired Eric of Riptide Contracting for snow removal services at a 2nd home own in New Jersey one day before a major storm hit. They showed up as promised, cleaned the driveway, walkway to front door and landing, then salted the whole thing. Eric could not have been more professional and courteous. I will now be obtaining estimates from him for renovations to the house as well.

Eric from Riptide Contracting did excellent work for me and my wife post Super storm Sandy. The firm had completed several projects for us before but in the aftermath of the storm we needed immediate assistance to avoid the growth of mold and to stabilize our property. Eric mobilized a crew quickly to remove soggy insulation in our crawlspace, to clean and treat our garage and shed, and to repair and stabilize the property in general. When a mold remediation contractor wanted to remove our hardwood floors, Eric helped provide provide an alternative opinion but also was clear that he was not a certified expert and suggested that we secure a second opinion from someone else. We did and we avoided an unnecessary and costly floor replacement. During the aftermath of the storm Eric helped us when we were evacuated by regularly checking on our property and the neighborhood in general. Besides being a skilled contractor he is also a caring community member. We are now reviewing whether we need to elevate our home and if we do, Eric will be a key member of any team we put together to get the job done.

this company was great.very professional,described every step of the project.they did excellent layout,planning,performed work on time.cleaned up. they were a pleasure to work with.i highly recommend this company.i even gave them more projects. to be performed on my property

We hired Riptide to rebuild and tuck point two rather large structures that held the signs at the entryway to our community. The brick was in good shape but the mortar was literally falling apart. Eric gave us a bid that we found attractive, he arrived on the job as scheduled, his crew did a fine job and cleaned up after themselves. We would definitely hire them again without question.

Eric, the owner of Riptide Contracting seems too busy chasing Hurricane Sandy dollars to care about the quality of his work or keeping a respectable business relationship with paying clients. In total, my wife and I have spent upwards of $80,000+ with Riptide Contracting and everything was fine until the very last job, which was to install a fence. Eric knew there were problems with the fence and said he would talk to me in person and visit the property to look at the fence he installed however after close to a month he has done neither and rarely returns any communication. Prior to me trying to get Eric to the house or even a phone call for a month, he did visit the property once to fix some of the problems but still left the remaining broken so In my opinion he was well aware of the condition of the fence he installed. Eventually the problems became worse b/c he never fixed them and continued to ignore my methods of communication. When I was was able to get a few text messages from Eric, instead of asking questions or trying to find a solution he instead lied to me about multiple things. I also contacted the fence manufacturer with my problem with photos and they said the fence was installed incorrectly. Riptide Contracting charges a high premium, often 2x more than other contractors in the area but I was willing to pay because he appeared interested in getting the job done right and other people had great reviews about him. A lot of the problems with my fence could have easily been avoided if Eric wasn't learning on the job at my expense and I don't think a veteran, local contractor would have made the same mistakes. Someone with experience would have simply picked up the phone and found a solution with the customer. I'm not a contractor but the first things I noticed/checked on the fence were done incorrectly such as putting concrete around wooden posts that were set in sand. Now I will have to fix things myself or hire another contractor and pay out of pocket just to keep the condition of the fence from getting worse. Customers might not always be right but they do have a voice and if Riptide Contracting is interested in maintaining a reputable business within this community behavior like this needs to stop. There are a lot of 5-star ratings on this website and I was previously one of them so I'll finish my review with 'if things seem too good to be true ..... than they probably aren't (true)." In being fair, Eric did spot a lot of problems w/the original construction of our house which could have resulted in lots of water damage if he didn't fix them however I honestly have to question all of the 'things that needed to be fixed' simply b/c he has always been quick to point out errors by others yet fixing a fence and responding to my texts and voicemails was something he put a lot of effort into (avoiding things). I tried to remain patient as possible and kept telling myself he was too busy and eventually would return a call or voicemail but seeing him driving 2 blocks from my house, multiple times over 2 consecutive weekends makes it obvious he doesn't want to accept any responsibility for something he did wrong no matter small or large.
