  The following is our attempt to summarize what is beyond words a what great job Pete's crew did.
  We just had a major expansion done by Pete’s construction to our colonial house. Can’t say enough about the great job the crew and subs did. We will do our best to summarize and not miss anything. House was lengthened as well as expanded out the back to increase space by about 30%, kitchen expanded, 3 season porch added, 2 new bedrooms added with living room lengthening as well as creation of a an extra room off of it with full cellar and attic expansion. Landscaping was also done at completion. This referral does get lengthy, but this man, his crew and subs definitely deserve it! Unfortunately, there were so many subs involved, that I would have to refer everyone to Pete for the list.
  To begin, we were told if any subs ever gave us a problem to let Pete know right away and this would be addressed. Well, every single sub and worker treated us like family! The attention to picking the subs was as great as the attention Pete and his crew gave to the construction! Couldn’t have asked for better. Workmanship, people skills and the way everyone carried themselves was excellent! Any questions were answered respectfully, no swearing on the job, they had no problem with using the porta potty either. All trash from construction was carted away on a regular basis so did not have to have a dumpster stored on the property. All workers treated our home with respect as if it was theirs or a close relative. Great care was taken not damage anything.
  Attention to detail was more than one would expect. For example, before siding was applied, liquid flashing was used on the lower section to stop backsplash rot as well as insect/mouse penetration. Interior and exterior were all as square and perfect as could be. Even the gutter installer stated he had never seen such a perfect job with everything squared up text book perfect.
  Another quality we observed was the way Pete mentored and trained some of the younger workers on tasks they had not done before. If my son or daughter were to get into the construction trades, I would want Pete to be the one to train / mentor them! His knowledge, patience and followthru (making sure things were done right) were excellent!
  Pete also took great pains to be sure all safety precautions were taken to protect the workers while working on the job. Again, if my kids were to get into the trades, I would want them to work for Pete. Additionally, everything was always cleaned up at the end of the day within reason since this was a roughly 5 month work in progress at the time.
  On a different more long term note, the house was so well insulated and sealed that, so far, October thru November, my wood burning insert meant to only the family room, was able to produce enough heat that the gas heat usage was actually cut in half from the previous year. Of course the heating system and hot water tank were updated too. However, the fact that I haven’t had a chance to put up shades or insulate the pipes in the basement yet (I wanted to do something myself) and the fact that house is 30% larger and has a roughly 50% reduction in heating costs speaks volumes to the detail in construction and insulation taken.
  Pete was also excellent at listening to our input throughout the project. Although he would do anything we asked, if we proposed something that wouldn’t be in our best interest, he would very politely explain the issues and let us have the final word.
  The main thing throughout the project was that Pete always wanted everything to be pristine and perfect because his name was on it. Everything was built as if it was going to be Pete’s house for the duration meaning all was done to be not only perfect but to last as long as current technology would allow. Pete and all of the workers took great pride in their work! One could tell just from talking to them.
  In summary, we would highly recommend Pete’s Construction to anyone looking to do any type of work on a house if they want the job done correctly and done to last. If one’s main concern is price and one doesn’t care about the work lasting or looking perfect they need to look elsewhere. We would definitely seek Pete out again if we had need for future work.

  Pete was very professional. I had a storm door that got busted and he came right away to replace it. I would definitely recommend him and use him for any repairs I my need in the future
