Commonwealth Contractors

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "New house, Same address"

I like to think our project took place during an interesting time of transition and growth for Commonwealth Contractors as a company. Our time with them spanned roughly a year as opposed to the shortened timeline we had originally anticipated. Our project was not without its frustrations. We experienced a lot of turnover to Luke & David's core staff, missteps in filing permits, and also a myriad of changes to the subcontractors they used and entrusted. I do believe a lot of these difficulties stem from the aftermath of COVID and all the challenges it presented to the industry. I also believe a lot was due to Luke & David not only rerouting their ship, but reshaping their organization as a whole.

Does that sound like a five star review?
Well, actually, yes. It is.

Because despite these challenges and setbacks, I still can't give Luke and David anything less than five stars because our house is absolutely stunning. There is not a person that sees it who does not comment on how absolutely beautiful the transformation was. They took my vision and made it everything I wanted and more!

Not only was the final product amazing, but Luke and David are wonderful to work with. They were so patient and thorough in communication, and I was always greeted with a friendly face. They also remedied any mistakes without hesitation. For example, one of the subs they used had installed the stair stringers and I was unhappy with several parts of the installation. Instead of just fixing the immediate issues and working with what they had, they instead ripped it all out and built it again from scratch (and the result was perfect). Any time something looked off or done not to their specifications, it was quickly rectified no matter how costly or time consuming a fix would be.

Our project was completed over a year ago, but just a few months back David came by to check in and saw one of the gutters had an issue that caused part of it to peel outward. He quickly had his team come out and replace the entire section for us.

Frustrations and setbacks on a project of this size is to be expected no matter who you hire, but I truly believe Luke and David have built a company that will deliver nothing less than world-class results. We will love and enjoy every inch of this beautiful home for many years to come, and it would not have been possible without them.

Luke and the Commonwealth team went above and beyond to help me with an issue from a contractor I hired years ago. Even though they won't be taking on my job, they spent their time and effort to guide me through the process. Great team and good people!

They did a great job. I get so many compliments on my kitchen now. The look and the vibe. Tiling, electric, floors, perfectly level cabinets, counters/back splash. All well done! Plus, I enjoyed my conversations with so many of the team.

Dealing with Luke and his team has truly been a five star experience. They are always professional, thorough, and friendly; their designs and craftmanship are top notch; the quality of their work is never lacking. I am proud to support their business as a vendor.

We really enjoy working with Commonwealth Contractors, they care about their customers, want to do the best possible job for them every time and are super focused on great quality work and excellent customer service!

Luke and his team are excellent to work with. He is always responsive and his crew is efficient and very thorough. Couldn't be happier with the work completed!

Five stars for sure. These folks are always easy to work with and turn out a quality product. Luke and co are always my first call when I've got a project on the horizon.

We always look forward to working with Commonwealth Contractors, they are organized, thorough and a delight from the first meeting to project completion. They are a gem!

Luke Roark and the team at commonwealth made what a stressful decision for most easy. Thorough, top quality, accommodating to your needs, friendly, and professional are just a few words to describe my experience with them. Luke’s follow up was terrific and we will always keep them in mind for any project whether it’s the exterior of our home or interior. Grateful we chose them for our project!

Update 4/18/2023 Project closed as of March 25th after a year and 1 month of signing contract. A balance is still showing in builder trend app. President of company assures me that my final payment that was required was made in November 2023. So unless something changes on their end this is my final update on my review. Although being requested multiple times to remove my bad review this is my experiance and no refunded amount of money is going to change that. So no NDA will be signed.

Update on project : 2/22/24
Old wood that was originally used to build the eaves on my back porch has since been taken down and replaced with new lumber still have a few things yet to be addressed with just over a year on this project. I will update when contractor says he's finished.

Details to come still working with this contractor to get my work completed, coming up on a year next month. All monies paid and still have a rotted rafter among other aspects that they have yet to actually complete. Very little bad weather during the past year and for a job that was quoted to take less than a month to complete and they have verbally given me multiple days of completion. Yet I still am waiting. Don't get your self tied up with these people. If you do make sure you get everything in writing down to the final screw. Verbal agreements mean nothing to them. I have waited to post this till job is complete but feel bad for people getting entangled with them in the mean time.
RESPONSE: Why would I post as another person then myself also discount was for items that your crew damaged and or pulled from my home and damaged when they used them without permission. Along with the fact that the previous crew was drinking on the job. The mentioned additional work that was recently done was a verbal agreement from the president of the company (hence doesn't keep his word) Old wood was used to do this additional work so I feel company didn't lose anything but less 1/4 inch boards to take to the dump. Also the crew that did "additional work" used my A/C unit as a saw horse this guy will talk his way out of anything be forewarned and see the type of person that you could be dealing with. I did use a audio recorder after several issues and inconsistences. I didn't pay my hard earned money to have a company screw me over even though that is what is going on.

These guys do subpar work but threaten to sue you when you leave an honest, telling review. Well, they do subpar work. And if you're honest about that, as I am being, they have an attorney who reaches out to bully you. It's the reason you can't find bad reviews on google. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. We paid them to show up, but then they bailed and gave no estimate. Good luck with these guys.

The team did a great job on our bathroom renovation.

Commonwealth Contractors was the first company to reach back to us when we needed a bathroom and ceiling repair. I found it convenient to schedule the on-site consultation completely online to start to process.

The app that is used during the entire process was really helpful to keep track of what work is being done, what work has been completed, make payments, communicate, and also notifies the customers for any input when needed.

There were some issues and questions that I had during the installation/work process, but everything was resolved professionally and quickly. The team communicated well and ensured that everything was done right.

We recently had the privilege of using Commonwealth Contractors for a minor problem at our house with a beam in our attic that was in the way of our woodstove chimney being replaced/installed. We called around the holidays and were impressed with the promptness, dedication and professionalism by Luke and his crew. Although our problem was not completed until after the holidays - no fault whatsoever of Commonwealth Contractors - the delay was due to the other business party we were dealing with, they came out and aided the completion of the job in one day.
We look forward to doing business with and will definitely use Commonwealth Contractors again and again and again.......Bill and Deb Kruse

Commonwealth does great work. Have had a few jobs done by them and am very pleased with the results. Professional and courteous, willing to listen to their client and work together to get the project done to satisfaction.

Commonwealth Contractors quickly provided a fair estimate, quality job and completed the work much faster than we expected. The other contractors were months out and nearly impossible to simply get an estimate from.

Luke from Commonwealth Contractors was very professional and responsive. We would definitely recommend using Commonwealth when thinking of your future home projects.

Luke was very responsive and professional. He was very helpful in every steps of the building progress. We asked them to build a rear deck and the work is fantastic. They are very dedicated, considerate and even go above and beyond. They brought our design vision to light (figuratively and literally)! Their attention to details is great and I would highly recommend them for your next renovation or new construction. Thank you so much for your great work!!

We hired Commonwealth for a complete tear-down and rebuild of our deck and added a screen porch in the process. Their quality of work and attention to detail are second to none and they were up front and honest about all pricing.

From sales to design, demolition to final construction their communication was prompt, frequent, and effective.

Their price points were competitive and fair.

Post construction, job site clean up was spotless.

Luke and all of his associates were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Commonwealth did a great job to actively communicate and follow up concerning our job estimate and proposal. Professional and personal service!

Luke and Antoine from Commonwealth contractors came out on time within a week of me calling them to do a measurements for an outdoor deck expansion. They also reached out to the city and obtained a survey plan and contacted the appropriate utilities to mark their lines prior to starting work. Will update this review once the work is completed but so far they have been very professional, responsive and timely and deserve a five-star review which is unfortunately very uncommon in the contracting business.

We were looking for someone to repair our 27 year old deck with a ramp. We had several contractors come out to look at the deck. Each pointed out a simple repair job. We were not satisfied and contacted Commonwealth Contractors. Luke answered the phone and after explaining our problem he said someone would come that afternoon. Anteneh showed up that evening. He explained who they were and their mission as contractors. He examined the entire deck upper and lower and concluded the deck should be replaced. This was something my sister and I had discussed and we felt he was on the right track. We explained we wanted the same plans for rebuilding the deck as the original. They explained current building codes but that they would talk to the city to see if they would approve the original plans. We were excited they were able to get the city to grandfather us in. The guys introduced Edward who would be in charge of the project. The deck and ramp went up smoothly and we are so happy with the results. These young guys were polite, professional and knew their job. The finally product is beautiful. The whole while they explained every stage of the building. They really wanted to make sure we were happy with their work. We are more than happy. Luke noticed we had put up a portable gate to keep our Yorkie from escaping. He suggested a built on gate. That will be coming soon. In the spring when they stain the deck we will also have them put pavers on the bottom patio area. We highly recommend Commonwealth Contractors if you are in need of a deck. Professional, respectful, informative and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you Commonwealth Contractors !

I have always had great experiences working with Luke and his team. They are consistently on time, courteous and pleasant to work with. In my experience, I have no qualms recommending him to friends and family alike.

We hired Luke (at Commonwealth) to pull out some old hardwood, tile and laminate floors and replace them with new hardwood. Except it wasn't that simple.

The upshot . . . Luke's team was very communicative, honest and upfront with us about everything, dealt with a crazy situation in a way that made things far smoother for us, and did very high quality work. With them you are getting a company that cares about the quality of their work product and the customers they serve.

The details . . . We only decided to replace all of the downstairs floors because we needed some joist repair work done in one room, and the contractor we hired for that job needed the existing floor removed to do the work. Luke's team worked around the schedule of the other contractor, and was flexible in doing so.

After the other contractor finished its work, Luke's team came in to put the new floors down. But, they discovered extensive damage to a primary support beam in the middle of the house that should have been discovered by the other contractor. Sparing further detail, this created the need for more work (that would be both substantial and expensive).

Luke sprang into action--I cannot tell you how many mountains they moved to get the new work done quickly and on a reasonable budget. They were literally calling around all weekend to find a truly massive beam, dry and ready for install, that could be transported to a mill nearby to be ripped to the odd dimensions of the old beam in our 1920 home. They brought in a different crew than the flooring one, built a false wall to support the house, and got the massive new beam in place quickly and safely. It was a major undertaking. It could have, and probably should have panicked us. But Luke was great. He and others at the company were very mindful of how the ordeal was likely affecting us. They worked around us, offered various forms of assistance to make our lives easier, were considerate of the pets, dust, noise, etc.

The work product looks great. We love the finished look of the new hickory floors--which flow seamlessly through many rooms and a narrow hallway. But I'm most pleased by the fact that Luke and company made sure that our home is safe. You can't beat that peace of mind.

Luke has followed up with us a couple of time since the job. He cares that we're happy with it.

Hire a company that cares about its work and cares about you. I totally recommend Commonwealth.

We were very happy with the work Luke and his team did on our Trex deck repair. We highly recommend Commonwealth Contractors for any job - big or small. Great guys to work with!

Incredible team, passionate about what they do and very talented. Luke is detail oriented and great at bringing ideas to life. Highly Recommend for projects of any size.

LOVE these guys! Excellent work, trustworthy, kind and thoroughly knowledgeable. Will definitely work with them in the future. Do yourself a favor and give them your business!

Some of the most kind, hardworking and trustworthy people you will ever meet. A group of go getters with hearts of gold, who I’m truly grateful for.
