Our Projects

  Joe has far exceeded our expectations and brought our vision to a reality. Before meeting Joe, we had met with three contractors regarding adding a roofdeck to our Philadelphia home.… read more These contractors were dismissive, outrageous in their quote, and tried to push additional work. Finally after further research we found Joe (through Yelp!) and decided to give him a call. When he came out to check out our project, we knew immediately he was honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He assessed our project, explained his plan in great detail, and gave us a reasonable quote that met our expectations. This has been so hard to find!

Since then he has been communicative, prompt, and thorough. He communicated his progress daily and involved us in decisions every step of the way. When we mentioned we had family coming to town that we were hoping to show the roofdeck, he and his team pushed to get the project done in time. And it is a BEAUTY! We absolutely love our roofdeck and everyone who visits agrees The neighbors have all commented on the speed and excellence of his work. We cannot wait to use Joe for our next project.

  Joe and the team were awesome to work with. They installed a French drain in my crawlspace. They were always on time, worked with me on how to best… read more accomplish the construction goals and did a great job keeping me informed of both next steps and how much longer the project would take. We will be working with them for future projects and I highly recommend them!

  Joe quoted on overhauling our leaky shower floor and when it came time to do the job he was busy, so referred us to William Leopold who was fantastic. Thanks… read more to both of you.

  I had an emergency repair to my wall which required star bolts to be installed. It required engineering drawings and permits to be filed with the city and DePiano General… read more Contractors (through Joe DePiano) was able to help coordinate the project. Once the permits were acquired they were there the next day and completed the work within a week. I would recommend them for any construction related project, big or small.

  We needed to put up a temporary wall in our apartment to make one bedroom into two. Temporary means, it doesn’t look like crap, but we can tear it… read more down when we move and it won’t damage the landlord’s place. Joe was the first contractor to call me back, and said he’d already had experience with such walls. After I sent him a few pictures of the room, he sent back a quote which was quite competitive. Because he said he could “do it next week!”, we hired him for the job.

In the days leading up to construction, Joe contacted me a few times to discuss ideas to make the wall serve our purposes better. When he showed up with his two workers, they had settled on the best plan, using steel beams instead of wooden studs, since it would make it easier to remove the wall. I appreciate all the thoughtful consideration for what must be a really small job for this team.

Joe is personally very professional, but also very down to earth and clear-headed. As soon as he walked in the door, I felt I could trust him with the job. His two helpers were also very kind, professional, and competent. One of them even made friends with our little boy, who loves construction work! Everyone was very courteous, and took pains to keep the mess down while doing a wonderful job.

After a day and a half of work, the wall is done and looks great. They made sure to explain how the wall is constructed, and how best to remove it when the time comes. It was a real pleasure having these guys in the apartment, and we absolutely look forward to working with Joe and his crew in the future.

  This review is long overdue for work we had done in October. We needed a contractor to turn a large bedroom into 2 smaller bedrooms for our kids. We needed… read more framing, sheetrock, electrical, trim and closets built. Joe was way more responsive than all other contractors and was very reasonable with costs. The price was exactly what he quoted us. (Another contractor was supposed to start before we found Joe and completely ghosted us around the start date.)

Lou was the main guy who was here several days and he was great. We felt totally comfortable with him in our home. Our 4 year old son kept asking where Lou was after the project was completed. Lou worked around us when it came to hours that worked best for our family. Our kids love their bedrooms. And our 4 year old son finally sleeps in his own bed. We will be calling Joe when we are ready to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms.
