Best Deck Remodeling in Philadelphia PA
Rik and Mike remodeled my tiny bathroom in South Philly. From a previous remodel, I had a leaky shower stall that that was tiled and grouted poorly, and they were careful to demo the problematic walls and floor, while salvaging tile on opposing walls, storage cabinets and cubbies, and a medicine cabinet that I wanted to keep.
When the floor came up, we discovered a rotted subfloor, compromised joists and some water damage. This was not something we had budgeted for in the initial estimate, but Rik recognized that the new priority was structural integrity and was reasonable about additional costs for sistering compromised joists, moving water lines, and giving me a new subfloor.
When there were new issues or detours they had to take (the bathroom is in a 100 year old building), Rik ran all changes by me and let me know what options (and their respective costs) we had. At one point, he even brought in a structural guy to double check the direction he recommended we take on those compromised joists.
Post demo and remediation, they installed everything I had bought for the project - the new toilet, the new shower stall, new shower walls, new vanity, new fixtures and new tiling on the floor. That part of the project took the amount of time Rik had estimated, and the only time-related hiccups were caused by the rotting subfloor and joist sistering, which were not foreseen.
Rik understood that my number one priority was making sure that the shower was watertight, and he pointed out different steps during the way that we accomplished that goal. I'll update this review periodically to let you know how watertight it remains.
Finally, there was the issue of construction debris. Rik and Mike did this work in late July and early August of 2020, when the city's sanitation department was racked with COVID-19 and some trash pickup did not occur on schedule. While they put debris in large white bags labeled contractor bags and expected the city to haul them off. However, once city services resumed, the sanitation department (for 2 consecutive weeks) would take all trash EXCEPT the contractor bags and the old toilet Rik and Mike had placed at the curb.
When I notified them of this, Rik did the right thing. Even though our financial dealings with one another were in the rear view mirror and the new bathroom had been completed for nearly 2 weeks, he swooped by 48 hours later to pick up the debris and properly dispose of it.
In all, I was very pleased with Rik and Mike's work, and I would hire them again.

Very honest and reliable. We used the company to replace the roof on our property in PA and Jamal was very accomodating. Showed up when he said he would and completed the work on time. Sent pics after the job was done since we don't live in PA. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a professional, honest and affordable contractor.

Called Heiland Home Services and was pleasantly surprised they were able to squeeze me in same day. Max arrived earlier than scheduled and communicated via text to make sure I would be home. Max diagnosed the problem quickly. Max is honest and explains everything very well. This is the second time we have used Heiland and will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommend!!

I have used several contractors in the past for home renovations but none of them have been as proficient as Rogelio. This round of work included ceiling and floor molding, setting up a bathroom exhaust, fireplace work, paint and sparkle work. Across-the-board everything was done excellent. The reason (in the past) I continued to use different contractors is because perhaps my expectations were too high and I was unsatisfied but in this case my expectations were met. I almost forgot to mention that his prices were also cheaper than all of the competitors I brought in. He exceeded my expectations at a fair cost. Try him, I doubt you will be disappointed.
