This review captures our experience with Joe, a contractor who truly exceeded every expectation, not only in the quality of his work but in the kindness and care he showed us throughout the journey. We first met Joe in December after interviewing six contractors for a full exterior renovation of our Livonia ranch: new siding, roofs, screen/storm doors, and a sliding door addition for our senior dogs. From the start, Joe stood out as someone genuine, knowledgeable, and considerate. He treated our home as if it were his own, never making me feel sidelined or dismissed—a refreshing change from the other contractors who directed all communication to my husband.
Joe’s exceptional communication made a demanding process manageable. With both of us having busy, on-the-go jobs, he kept us both informed every step of the way, calling and following up with whichever one of us wasn’t available. He made sure we were always on the same page, which gave us immense peace of mind.
The dedication he showed went far beyond the usual contractor-client relationship. Late one Sunday evening, a small leak appeared during a rainstorm due to a minor oversight with the wrap above the new sliding door. Despite it being late and on the weekend, Joe and his son arrived within 20 minutes to fix the issue, demonstrating the level of commitment you seldom find.
After we thought the project was complete, life took an unexpected and devastating turn. Our garage caught fire on May 13th. Thankfully, we were home and able to get out safely, but the damage was severe, melting our new siding, window, and sliding door. Although the fire inspections confirmed the cause was unrelated to Joe’s work, he was still the first person we called that night. He answered immediately and arranged for emergency help, including tarping up the house to protect it from imminent rain and securing an electrician to address the damaged power lines. Joe and his son Alex were there the very next morning, ready to rebuild and restore our home amid the chaos.
The road to recovery was anything but smooth, with every possible complication arising—including our newly installed siding being discontinued—but Joe navigated each challenge with skill and determination. He even coordinated seamlessly with our family friend who rebuilt our garage, demonstrating flexibility and commitment that are hard to come by.
Watching our home burn was an experience we’ll never forget, but in the months that followed, something unexpected happened: we formed a bond with Joe that transcended the typical contractor-client relationship. He and his family embraced us during our toughest time, even inviting us to personal events like his surprise 50th birthday party. Joe and his son even completed our foursome, and we kept a standing tee time every Sunday morning through the rest of the summer❤️
While we are beyond grateful for the beautiful work Joe did on our home, what we’ll cherish most is the friendship that blossomed during the process. Joe and his team’s quality of work and dedication are unparalleled, but more importantly, he is someone who genuinely cares about the people behind the project. Although we understand that not every customer will form the same connection we did, we hope this review serves as a testament to his character and the incredible lengths he goes to for his clients. Thank you, Joe, for turning what could have been a nightmare into a reminder of the goodness that still exists in this world.
