On The Level Contracting

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST. They are extremely unprofessional. Still upset about the recent experience. They are contracted via Home Depot. And now because of their unprofessional behavior, I will never buy any appliances from Home Depot because of this terrible company.
I simply asked for a breakdown of the estimate they provided. They did not include any line items on their estimate. Like most customers, I'm trying to compare prices and services. As I was asking for the breakdown of the estimate, I was comparing the prices to lowes as their (Lowes) estimate was broken out.
The rude ignorant unprofessional chic in the background literally said ""well then go to lowes!"" I heard her clear as day and it sent me over the edge. First off, your estimate has zero details so how is a customer supposed to know what's included. Then you send your customers to the competitors.
Avoid this raggedy company. They are rude and could care less about their customers.

They installed a couple doors at our house. Afterwords they took our historic hard wood door without asking. When I called to ask for it back they said ""you didn't say we couldn't take it"" and George proceeded to yell at me and then hang up on me. George is a horrible manager and I will never go back to these people. Who steals doors from your customers?

They did an installment through home depot that resulted in being faulty. Through the claim process, the manager (George) fabricated lies of how the damage occurred. This was very disturbing to me. Just avoid them & Home Depot installments at all costs. The damages werent that costly, but the manager from the get go was denying any accountability before even making an inspection. He then lied to Home Depot & the insurance about the work done & what transpired. Im actually shocked on how this is all being handled by him.

Home Depot sent this company to install the door we bought. They installed it poorly, failed to acknowledge a defect, had to borrow a Phillips head screwdriver, and tried to pass off as 'finished', locking door with either deadbolt _OR_ doorknob but not both (""I'm a doorman! I do doors!). We challenged installer James to fix it and found his repair unacceptable (along with swearing ""I said watch your step dammit"" at my daughter). But he said ""there's nothing I can do"" and left. Called, emailed and visited home Depot manager - they apologized and results are pending.

Then the OTL ""manager"" George called and kept insisting how ""fantastic"" his installer was. Claimed installer enlarged mortise--he didn't. Never acknowledged OTL mistakes, said we just didn't like James and shifted accountability to the manufacturer. Told me to take it up with home Depot and hung up. I don't recommend using this company for anything. In the 9 hours installing the door, James had ample opportunity to bring to light manufacturer defects and ask our input. Not worth $99 much less $700 we paid for installation.

Peter and his team helped me with a basement remodel (framing, drywall, lighting, crown moulding, electrical, etc). After iterating only a handful of times, he got to work and the end product was exactly as I envisioned it. The work was completed in a timely fashion and with attention paid to every detail. Peter is very enthusiastic about his business, customers and work. He's very responsive to questions and feedback over the course of the job and my satisfaction was obviously his top priority. He will definitely be the first I call for my next renovation!

Peter and his team just finished our guest bathroom remodel and our experience with them was nothing less than great. Peter pays a ton of attention to detail and worked with me on every aspect to make sure everything was exactly what I wanted. I appreciated that he checked in consistently to make sure everything was being done as planned. The guys doing the work were great as well and always kept the area clean. We love the final results and plan to use them for our basement remodel as well. Highly recommend!

Just completed having my basement finished with OTL. I worked with Peter and it turned out better than I could've expected. With any project there will be surprises and Peter took care of them without hesitation. I got regular updates on the job and the workers were professional. I'll be using them again for some upcoming bathroom projects.

On the Level (with Peter Psihas) should hands down be your next and forever contractor. I have worked with quite a few service providers and hands down, OTL's commitment to your job is the best I have experience - and that you will ever experience.

Peter goes above beyond. My mom and I hired him to redo the basement at my childhood house, after a series of water-related issues had destroyed the basement. Our job was big - it involved gutting the entire basement, including scrapping a lot of the studs, redoing the wiring, moving a radon pipe, and redoing some of the water pipes. Our task for Peter/OTL was to create a flow through the basement (we had a series of odd spaces and turns), create storage, redo the bathroom, create a laundry area, add a kitchenette, build out an office, and redo the rec room space in the basement. That's to say, it was a tall task.

I would hire Peter for every part of my house (I plan to hire him to redo the bathrooms in my house) and my mom is already ready to hire him for her passion project - turning our porch into a sunroom.

Peter/OTL executed flawlessly. He was patient and kind with me and my mom as we worked through our options for designs and decisions. We had a VERY tight budget that Peter worked within but still got us everything we wanted. He was creative with options and solutions and would not rest until there was a solution - and a good one.

I really want to emphasize the patience; my mom has never been through a project like this. It took her a while to get comfortable making decisions, big and little. Peter allowed her to take her time and would answer each and every one of her questions, no matter how obvious the answer might have been. He delved into details and steps much further in advance, providing her information so she could process.

OTL and Peter are incredibly transparent and honest. He does not overcharge and ensures competitive prices. He also advises on how to get more for you money, even if it's a detriment to him as a contractor. Peter's focus on a customer is to do whatever he can to make them happier and their job better.

What I especially appreciated was how communicative Peter was - almost to a fault. I always knew what he and his team were working on, if there were any issues, and what our next steps were. OTL used an online site to schedule the job and stayed on track through most of the schedule.

Going back to Peter going above and beyond - he did so many extra things for us at no cost. Along the project, we decided to add an exterior light (which he changed for us), absorbed the cost of some pipe rework (which we weren't planning to do immediately), came late in the evenings to check out wires I wanted removed, and gave us option after option when we were picking tile. He met us a few times at different tile stores and ran errands, picking up and dropping off tile samples. There was plenty of other stuff as well that I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Hire On the Level. You will be happy with Peter and his team and will be immensely grateful to have someone working for your happiness like him.

We were worked with Peter from On The Level Contracting to install a new Provia entry door to my home. He has the patience of a saint! My wife changed her mind many times because she couldn't decide on the style and color of the door. We received several proposals from top rated companies and not one of the compared to On The Level Contracting when it comes to attention to detail and great communication! I highly recommend!!

We paid $49 to receive an estimate to get our kitchen remodeled (95% of contractors do this for free!) Chris contacted me by phone to set up an estimate however he was reluctant to provide me with his full name so I could verify him with the name Home Depot provided - Strike one. He told me that he only worked on weekdays until 1600 and no weekends (not convenient for a working couple). I said I would consult with my wife and call back with a day during the week we both could leave work early. I called back and he told me he would work Saturday around his personal business, great I said. Saturday between 1000-1400 was the window to meet and he would call me on Thursday or Friday to define the time. No call on Thursday or Friday - strike two. I texted him on Saturday at 0900 to see if and when he was going to show up... he texted me back with sometime after 1100? At 1245 we wanted to get on with our day since we blew the morning waiting on him! He arrived at 1300 and opened up with a statement that he told me he had personal business!!! No greeting or no apology for his horrible communication/coordination for this job - strike three. I told him he didn't call me as promised, I had to Initiate the meeting time, and we stayed home all morning waiting on him because of his lack of communication. He got pissed, stormed of my porch and told me this meeting was canceled and he left my property. We went to HD and were refunded our money. Never Again will I use or recommend On The Level Construction
