Jeremy P was hired in 2019 to do several jobs on our Pittsburgh home. The jobs he was contracted to perform were carpentry work and installing kitchen cabinets.

The kitchen cabinet installation was of very poor quality. While our home is not exactly even (no home in Pittsburgh is), he did not account for any unevenness to the floors and thus, the entire kitchen was installed at a very visually bad angle. There were very large gaps in places where there shouldn't have been, and any experienced contractor should have known how to compensate. About 30% of the kitchen needed to be reinstalled.

Regarding the carpentry work, he was months behind on completing the work, which delayed us moving into the house. The work that was completed was VERY sloppy and has since had to be completely redone. Jeremy stopped responding to calls and text messages midway through the carpentry portion of our contract. Not only was the work he completed subpar, but he did not fulfill his contract. We are in the process of attempting to sue him, but are unable to locate him.

They were working on the house next to mine and they caused a lot of damage to my house while doing their services. They bolted ladders onto the side of my house without permission causing holes and siding to be ripped off the side of my home. They damaged the brick on my porch. They left a complete mess with siding, nails, metal clamps and wires everywhere and I have five daughters under the age of 10 that play outside. They are refusing to fix any damage done to my home, they came after my father with complete rage when my father told them to take the ladders down. They are a complete nuisance, very disrespectful, very unprofessional.

Jeremy Pace was hired to build a deck on 5/23/18. Contract states deck would be built in a timely manner and according to all borough regulations and to code. During initial inspection of footers, Jeremy was told that the deck was in the wrong place compared to the permit he submitted to the borough. Jeremy did not relay this information to myself nor move the footers to the correct location. Jeremy continued with the build at a very slow pace, only working approximately one day a month. After deck was almost complete (missing a step) and we fulfilled the second payment, we contacted Jeremy 4 times throughout the month of September about our concerns with the decks safety, specifically the stability of the railing and pergola, and received no responses. We received a notice from the borough on 9/29 of the following: 1. Railings and pergola not built to code 2. Deck was built in incorrect location as proposed to borough 3. Jeremy did not ever include pergola in original proposal to borough. This also included threats to fine myself as the homeowner. After meeting on 10/12 with Jeremy, the borough, and the inspector, a decision was made for deck to be moved to appropriate location and fixed to code. Jeremy did not show up on the first day 10/18 as promised to begin work. After two messages sent from myself, 2 out of 4 footers were dug on 10/24 with no communication from Jeremy. I then messaged Jeremy on 11/1 and 11/6 about delay in process. Jeremy stated he was raising the money to fix the issues and had about half of what he needed. After almost a month on 11/10, all four new footers were finally dug with no notification from Jeremy about completion or next steps. We allowed one month for Jeremy to raise the rest of the money, however have not heard or seen him. We messaged him on 12/8 with no reply.
