SS Remodels LLC

Working with Sean was a great experience. He is punctual and quoted me a fair price for the work being done. His crew arrived on schedule and were very professional. They all did a great job and I will be hiring them for other jobs around my home.

The crew from SS Remodels were kind, punctual, and easy to contact and communicate with. They went above and beyond for our project, making sure everything was squared away and to our liking. The crew was courteous and clean and worked hard to minimize the mess in the midst of construction. They found some problems left by our previous contractors and repaired their mistakes. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thanks for your work!

Sean did all the dry rot repair on the exterior of our home. He did a thorough job, explained everything to us beforehand, and we were very pleased with the results. He is personable and easy to work with!

Trustworthy guys! I got a reasonable quote from Sean and they were there the next day to paint. It looks like a new room!

I heard about Sean and SS remodels LLC through a customer of mine from work. I love supporting small businesses so I called him up. I had a medium-size bathroom that needed remodeled as well as a fairly large kitchen. Sean stuck by my side through it all and made sure I understood each process. I wish I could post photos on here it looks so good!!! I highly recommend him!!

Sean & SS remodels has repaired Sheetrock damage multiple times for me & has always done a great job. Sean cares about his customers & the work he does. Blending textured ceilings is a difficult skill & Sean does a great job with it

Sean did a great job of ensuring the work was done to our satisfaction. He’s very conscientious and we’d call him again if we ever need anything

As a Realtor I am always looking for contractors and other professionals to add to my Vendor's List and recommend to clients. After SS Remodels completed a job on my personal home, they not only made the list, but rose to the top of contractors I can confidently recommend to all my clients and friends. I am so impressed by their work and know they will do a fantastic job.

Sean Scholdberg and his team are my go to when it comes to remodeling. They do excellent work at a great price. We will continue to use and recommend Sean and his team. Amazing company.

Sean is one hard working man. If you want someone with integrity and mad skills you need to hire him. He does outstanding work.

He did an excellent job and got it all done right and in a timely manner.

I was initially hesitant to leave a review, as I do not like to impact a business or livelihood with such few reviews, and many of these problems were because I was not stern enough to bring these issues up until it was too late. But each day I see issues with the finished product, and I need to get it off my chest.

We hired S.S Remodels LLC to complete a fairly standard “finishing” of our basement. We had a plan in place, and a decent amount of materials (drywall, 2x3s, 2x4s) were already purchased. We were framing the basement so that it would be square, as the foundation was not poured straight, adding a wall to our laundry room/to separate the HVAC, and adding a sink/toilet, which already had sewer and drain lines. Electric was already run, but we requested the addition of a switch for the bathroom. Fairly cut and dry, no huge surprises.

All in all, framing, adding two wall/doorways, priming (as they insisted they had to prime the walls), trim/baseboards and installing of the laminate hardwood flooring.

The positives: I appreciated that they actually showed up when they said they would, were open to discussing things, and got the job done quickly (which may also be considered a con now that I see the results). Sean seemed like a nice guy and his staff was fairly courteous and friendly as well.

The negatives: When I began looking for contractors, I did so because I knew if I tried to finish the basement myself, it would be a half-finished basement and there would be many areas I did not know how to complete or would complete incorrectly. Now as we begin painting and such, really paying attention to the details of the work completed, I realize what we got was a quarter-finished basement that we paid "professionals" for, when we could have achieved similar results ourselves for much less money.

Here is why I feel that way.

For starters, there was previous “framing” on the foundation that was incorrect, it wasn’t straight, the studs were too far apart nails weren't driven all the way in, studs were split, the heights were off, etc. This crew didn’t seem to mind and tied right into it without checking if it was correct....which it was not.

I mentioned several times the foundation was not poured straight, I pointed out areas that would need to be furred out to make things straight/level, this was not addressed and has led to wavy walls, a ledge around the foundation that in areas is slanted, has different heights, not lined up, and more. Overall just looks rushed and done poorly.

Then there are issues with:
-Terribly mudded corners, seams, patches
-Multiple screw/nail holes/random holes/dents poking through the drywall, trim, ledge, pretty much anywhere a screw or nail was used
-Wavy walls
-Wavy/angled ledges that don’t line up correctly
-Gaps in the trim/baseboards
-A joke of an electrical box cover
-A rushed access door
-Terrible choices on where the water lines for the sink/toilet were put in
-Outlets at random heights
-Things we were told would be done that weren’t
-Many other issues that look rushed, bad, or just incorrect all together including missing pieces of drywall, not taking into account dryer vents etc. (Please refer to photos)

As you can see from the photos, some of these complaints are nitpicky, but most of these are just not a good job. All in all, the job seemed rush and the attention to detail was lacking. I feel the price we paid did not match the services and more so level of service we received. We could have had similar results had we done it ourselves, for much less of a cost, which is exactly what we wanted to avoid.

As previously stated, much of this was on me for not being sterner, but, at the same time, when you hire a professional, it should be done right from the start. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way with a quarter-finished basement. *upon further review, they installed the sink drain incorrectly so there is a leak, and broke the connector nut to the toilet causing it to run constantly. Changing to a 1 star.*

Sean, the owner, gives you a fair and reasonable quote. Our job was a fairly large one. Sean is capable of complex work. His crew are polite and respectful. Sometimes, it was hard to get them to the site to get working. This is true for many companies but a little better communication on their side would have been appreciated. Well, it’s September and Sean has yet to return to our home or call us back. Our sump pump that he installed was not put in correctly and a room flooded. We have been asking him to return but he won’t take our calls. In our kitchen, we paid for the old wallpaper to be removed. He told us it would be better to put drywall over the wallpaper. Not so. The paper is bleeding through. We do NOT recommend this contractor.
