Heritage Homes Construction
New & Custom Home Builders in Summit
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 3, 2016
“We had a wonderful experience with Heritage Homes Construction! They did a fabulous job on our entry level, which needed a complete floor to ceiling revamp! Heritage Homes renovated our TV/playroom & it is our favorite spot in the house! They are honest, professional & fair. Their work is unmatched. I would recommend HHC to anyone looking for a wonderful team of people who provide beautifully detailed results.”

“Kevin is a professional who is very experienced in his architectural skills. He is very personable and provides excellent service. His up to date, on site knowledge of every town(s) vast array of laws is beneficial to providing a huge difference in scheduling and budgeting our past and future architectural drawings.”
Bonomo & Sons, Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Summit
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 27, 2022
“We recently added on a sizable front porch (>500 sq ft) with a fair bit of bells & whistles – 7-foot overhang, stone columns, lights, siding, pavers, front door, new driveway, etc. A few points about working with Bonomo… 1.We met with a handful of contractors before coming across JACK; he was the only one who spent extra time to talk through all the drawing details, provide suggestions, and connect directly with our architect for clarifications – all prior to signing. He got us a quote in a couple of days. Knew we had the right guy from the jump and basically signed on the spot. 2.Jack (and Lisa) handled every piece of material and did a phenomenal job communicating & coordinating schedules for each phase of the project. Impressive job given the supply constraints and it being the dead of winter! 3.Ran into a couple of hiccups along the way, as expected with any project. Never heard Jack fret or complain, and never pushed back the work; just rolled up his sleeves and climbed in the trenches (literally, in our case). He’s that guy – never afraid to get his hands dirty to keep things moving and get the job done. Honestly cannot say enough about Jack, his easy attitude and dedication to his clients. He owns the work and makes sure it gets done right, down to every nuanced detail. Jack is a legit professional and all-around genuine guy – it was a pleasure doing business, we’ll absolutely be reaching back out to Bonomo for our next project.”

“Evan is an absolute pleasure to work with. He takes great pride in his job and is completely committed from onset to finish. The end result is a true reflection of his passion for the craft. He makes sure he uses the best teams for the allocated job, and has keen sense of how to manage and coordinate all sides, seamlessly. He listened, put up with my endless requests and suggestions, worked attentively and methodically, gave us a basement that we will cherish for a long time to come. He made it appear like our basement was the only project he was working on, (which certainly wasn't the case)- always there and always ready. Of course we'll use his services again, its a no-brainer!”

Anthony James Master Builders, LLC
New & Custom Home Builders in Summit
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 8, 2012
“Anthony James Construction did a fantastic job on a recent renovation/addition to our home. We were impressed by the professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail that Anthony and his team brought to our project. What we feared would be a stressful experience turned out to be an enjoyable one. Though we had a vision of what we hoped our home would be, it was Anthony's suggestions that truly made a difference. He turned our "tired" house into a beautiful home that we hope to enjoy for many years. All members of the Anthony James team were knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We were kept informed about every step of the project. Our budget was respected, and the project was completed sooner than we had expected. Their attention to detail was amazing. They frequently saw things that we had missed, made suggestions, and made necessary changes. Anthony James Construction did an outstanding job for us. We do not believe we would have had the same experience with any other builder. We are happy to give this company our highest recommendation.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 29, 2015
“'As an interior designer with over 20 years of experience doing many multi-million dollar construction and renovation projects, I hired Prestige Custom Building & Construction, Inc. a few years ago to renovate my 1,900 square-foot loft in Long Island City. I had a very positive experience working with Lior, the president of the company. Comparing to other construction companies that I have dealt with in the past, I would put Prestige in the top rank. These are the observations from my experience working with Prestige that sets them above and beyond: • They were very resourceful and helpful during the entire project. Lior spoke his mind, shared ideas from his past experience and made valuable suggestions • They were reliable and dependable by making sure that the workers were on site as scheduled and cleaned up before they left each day • They were very fair and flexible when change orders were required • They were very client oriented as they listened and went out of their way to accommodate my needs • They took pride in their workmanship and did whatever it took to make it look perfect Trini Lam trinidesign.com”
