Main Line Craftsmen

We had a fantastic experience with Steve and MLC. MLC has done a major remodeling in our house, including 2 bathrooms, new floor in the foyer and sun room, 3 new entry doors, a new entrance, replaced numerous windows, and many other small things. Steve and his crew approached the work with sincere, genuine desire to the best possible job with a defined budget. Steve helped us a lot when unexpected problems emerged while working on the 2 new bathrooms. Steve and the entire crew were always very responsive and attentive to our needs during the work. And more important, after the work was done Steve contacted us here and there to make sure that everything was fine. We have some other work to do in our house in the near future and therefore we will use Steve and MLC again. Highly recommended!

I have worked with Steve and his crew at Main Line Craftsmen for over 20 years on a number of projects, including the interior demolition and construction of a 5000 square foot residence. The work was outstanding—on time, within the budget and completed with a level of quality that is hard to find these days. I continue to recommend MLC to anyone who asks. And everyone to whom I have recommended them has been completely satisfied. MLC is simply extraordinary

I have worked with Main Line Craftsmen on many projects in my home, over 25 years. I keep coming back to them because the experience is wonderful. The response to my first and last call on any project, big or small, is immediate, the interaction is professional, and the end product is always well done. I highly recommend this firm.

MLC did our complete (everything gutted) apartment renovation in 2018. Before hiring them we carefully checked references: the reviews were rave ones. We were not disappointed. In fact, we're thrilled with the workmanship, MLC's responsiveness and professionalism. Steve is a delight to work with. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have had Main Line Craftsmen re-do my entire house (kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, porch enclosure, attic conversion to usable space) in a series of projects. None of this was easy because my house was built in 1910 and all sorts of unexpected issues came up as is usually the case with an old house. I simply can’t say enough good things; they are awesome. The workmanship was spectacular. I also had architects involved but Steve has worked with me to make their plans even better in ways that have actually saved me money and suited my needs better. He and Matt really listen to me and give me straight, no b.s. answers. They are highly responsive and easy to deal with. I think they are wonderful.

Steve and his crew were awesome all the way around. In 2018, we added a bathroom and turned the 3rd floor of our rowhome into a master suite. I would use MLC again and highly recommend their services.

Main Line Craftsmen is the only construction firm I will allow in my home. After several other failed contractors, I have relied on and am extremely pleased to work with them. I have recommended them to numerous friends and they have also been extremely pleased with the work..

We have worked with MLC to construct a kitchen addition to our home and to do smaller projects as well. Steve, his MLC team and every subcontractor were professional, meticulous, always responsive and delivered on time not to mention terrific results. We highly recommend them.

I highly and with enthusiasm recommend Main Line Craftsmen, and have done so to friends, neighbors and family. They did two large projects for me. The first 10 years ago rebuilding my garage. It had originally been a stable when my over 100 year old home was built and it was important to me that the structure maintain its same antique qualities. They did an excellent job with the small details as well as the overall excellent quality of the work. This past year, Main Line Craftsmen did a rather large addition to my home. Again, focusing on the smallest details as well as the overall large scale of the job. All of the workmen were respectful of my gardens, which I value, cleaned up quickly and their workmanship was excellent. When work paused due to the pandemic, they were cognizant and understanding about leaving a job in midstream. When they were able to work again, all workers maintained safety first. Masks were always worn, shoes were removed when in my home. When I needed to change something, there was never an issue and that item was fixed or changed. I will not hesitate to hire them again and highly recommend them!

I have worked with MLC on both commercial and residential projects. I have found working with Steve Shapiro and his team to be a terrific experience from the start of each project right through to the finish. They are professional. responsible, dependable and they do excellent work. I have recommended them many times and I will continue to do so without an ounce of hesitation.

I hired Steve and MLC to completely renovate my 1BR/1.5BATH Condo in Center City Philadelphia and have subsequently recommended him to multiple family and friends based on the quality of work, attention to detail, and communication throughout the process. Finding a trustworthy GC nowadays is not easy- Steve and MLC have my complete trust and I would hire them again without hesitation.

I’ve worked with Steve on a variety of projects and have found him and his team to be consistently professional and dedicated to a high standard of quality. I would recommend MLC without hesitation.

We are surprised to see Steve is still in business. Our project had not one door that closed properly,floors from origin house to addition that are so uneven you can roll a ball down them. Everything we didn’t like we were told to live with it and if we still didn’t like it, they would try to fix!
