I found their approach pragmatic. They saved money on materials and thought of solutions that could be done inexpensively and quickly. Overall I was pleased.
Based on a gut feeling and recommendations from local people, as well as reviews on Angie’s list we hired Dave… He walked us through having our property surveyed, drawings we needed for permits, and everything and anything else we needed to do or have done. Dave isn’t one of those contractors that gives his guys work and leaves. He works side by side with them and gets his hands dirty! Working with Dave and his guys was a GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! It also helps that Dave and his guys have a great sense of humor and get along great. Pavolony Construction is Professional, Honest, Reliable, ALWAYS on time, Clean, Great communication, Fair prices………AND easy to work with!!!! There were never any problems when we wanted to add or change work. Dave discussed all options before work was done. He was a good listener as well and would be open to our suggestions and would problem solve with you to find the best solution. We were EXTREMELY happy with Pavolony Construction and would (and have) recommend them to anyone who is looking for a contractor.
I bid out my project (a second story addition that required demo of my existing roof structure) to three contractors and awarded the work to Pavolony and could not be happier with my selection. As an engineer I design large bridge infrastructure and I’m very familiar with contractors in heavy construction and in my experience the best contractors are concerned with quality work that leads to repeat business and growth while others are more apt to advance change orders and escalate scope and costs. Dave is the former, from day one he made a commitment to be personally on site every day and complete the project as detailed in his defined schedule. Dave was on site every day managing the crew, he was 100% hands on building alongside the team. He promised to have a 6 man crew on site every day and he exceeded that nearly every day. He brought a team of talented carpenters who took pride in the precision and quality of work, at least half of the crew were experienced enough to have supervised the project themselves. In instances where my architects plans were missing data or detailed in a less than ideal way Dave’s experience shone through and he suggested an alternate approach that resulted in a better build. At the end of the day Dave exceeded my expectations, maintained a safe/clean worksite, built my addition as promised on time with zero escalated costs. Thank you Dave for a job well done.
Dave Pavolony and his crew arrived promptly each day to execute the work to be done. As challenges arose Dave and his crew adapted and kept the project moving forward. The site was kept clear of debris at the end of each day and the project was delivered on time and on budget
They were respectful and courteous and kept our house/yard clean. Most of all they were hard-working and very knowledgeable. During the project, we wanted to increase the scope of the work. Dave and his team were able to quickly make the adjustments.
The work came out great and on more than one occasion the town inspector mentioned to me that he thought they were doing an “unbelievable” job.
I am very happy with the look and quality of the work and would definitely use Pavolony Construction in the future.
From start to finish the framing went a smooth as possible. Dave and his crew started on the date promised and were there every day until the job was completed. The framing started January 2007 and even with the cold, rain, snow and MUD they worked whenever possible. Their workmanship and attitude was second to none and would recommend them highly. Even with changes from original plan, Dave treated me fairly with the price.
We selected Pavolony Construction because of our level of comfort based on our interaction with Dave Pavolony and his willingness to work with us. Dave listened to our thoughts, ideas and concerns, was enthusiastic about the work to be done, offered suggestions “to make it better” and continued to answer any questions we might have had during the process. I truly felt like Dave was someone I could work with over the next several months, which was extremely important to me…. Dave and his crew were always friendly, professional and kept a clean job site making sure that everything was neat and orderly and most importantly safe before calling it a day…. Pavolony Construction would be the first company I would recommend to anyone looking to do work on their home. The quality of the work is impeccable – even the inspectors would comment on “what nice work he does”. Dave delivered more than I imagined. Looking at something on a blueprints is one thing, but seeing it all come together was truly amazing! Whoever said living through a renovation was a nightmare – obviously didn’t have Pavolony Construction doing the work. Dave has given me a “brand new” house. Its hard to believe where we came from in just three months! All’s I can say is I love my house!
Dave Pavolony was EXCEPTIONAL from start to finish. In six days, he and his very experienced crew removed the roof off of our Cape Cod, framed a full second floor, set roof trusses, sheathed, roofed and wrapped the house and installed 10 new windows. The guys were always on time and even worked on Saturday (even though they did not plan to) so that the house was sufficiently enclosed for an impending rainstorm. They did a great job re-tarping the roof with a new tarp (not one full of holes). The place was DRY through some pretty heavy rain. Not only were they very efficient, but the work was HIGH QUALITY. They did not cut any corners. Dave followed the architectural plans to a “T” and passed the municipal inspection on the first shot. While they were working, I was ripping the siding off of my house and found a few extra things that I wanted Dave to upgrade for me. The add-ons that I asked him to do were done quickly and efficiently. A lot of contractors like to give you a low-ball price and then hit you hard when it comes to the add-ons, increasing the price as the project progresses. Let me be clear, Dave did not have ANY add-ons. The few extras were things that I asked him to do. His price for the extras was just as reasonable as his price for the original job. I am recommending Pavolony Construction to everyone I know. After the excellent job that they did, I would not recommend anyone else.
I just wanted to give a big thank you to all the wonderful work that was done on our house. We receive compliments daily from our neighbors, friends and family. The work was performed in a timely fashion, and done at a superior level. Our construction began when our newborn was 2 months old. Privacy from the workers seemed to be a priority, and I was thankful for that. The noise was limited and the cleanliness was superb. Thank you again for all of your hard work, it was very much appreciated!
