Prates Construction

Prates Construction was recommended by a friend and based on the work we saw at his house we were very quick to pull the trigger on this company. Junior the owner was very friendly to work with and knowledgeable. However, once we started the project it became very clear to us that he was stretching himself and his company thin. He subbed the work to several groups of people and the task of managing the site fell upon us. The work, while satisfactory, was never completed according to schedule and costs started piling up as he does not include all materials or services in his quote. Additionally, he asked us on repeated occasions to pay him in advance of work that was not completed. In the end, the items that were promised in the contract were only partially finished and he was personally and absentee general contractor. If you engage with him please be aware that you need to make sure that it is HIS work that you get and that HE personally manages the job. Otherwise you will be in our unfortunate situation where we have completed paying him for services that were not fully finished to our satisfaction and due to questionable work by some of his subs we have incurred additional costs in follow up repairs that Junior refuses to address.

Prates Construction repaired all my ice dam damage, rebuilt my front and mudroom steps, stained the back deck and painted my house. Extremely punctual, neat, conscientious, perfectionist work. When I called or email, he was totally responsive, flexible, worked around my schedule. I can’t speak highly enough about Junior’s work ethic, and the quality of the finished product. Recommend him 100%.

I had Prates Construction finish our basement and replace all of the trim on the outside of our home with AZEK. Junior and his crew explained every step during each project and I could not have asked for anything more from them. They were very professional and his work says it all. Everyone that has seen our basement is very impressed. I would highly recommend him to other people for work they need completed. I was100% satisfied with all of there work.
