Replaced Fence

My fence that Mother Nature toppled over this past winter needed to be replaced and Im very happy I hired Ironeshore Construction Inc. Pete is a friendly professional with great communication skills which unfortunately is not common in the industry. Not once did I feel like he was going to stiff me, unlike my insurances contractor.
My property is on a corner lot and it seems to have every utility known to mankind along the fence line. This resulted in some inconveniences that were handled professionally, without any incedents or cost adjustments.
The quality of workmanship was excellent. Pete and his crew also did a great job maintaining a clean and safe worksite rain or shine. I will definitely be reaching out to Pete in the future for my next project.

installation of stairs and drywall repair

We needed to have a staircase replaced along with the necessary drywall repair that goes with it (and other drywall repairs) in advance of preparing a house for sale. Pete and his team provided a competitive quote for the work and finished the job to spec in the agreed upon time and without any budget adjustments. In addition, Pete is a friendly professional with excellent communication skills. Because the work site was not our home, he provided photos of the work and progress along the way. That was a nice touch, and appreciated.

New deck made with high grade composite material and aluminum railings.

For all practical purposes, the job was started and finished on time. The site was kept safe and clean throughout. Communication was very good. Workmanship was excellent. The final cost was as quoted. We are very pleased with our new deck.

Fence of my dreams

So I would just like to say if I could give Pete 100 stars I would! Sun , rain , snow or sleet Pete showed up and completed a 160ft fence in mid December 2022. There were a lot of unexpected inconvenience and hardship but Pete did not let me down, Pete and his team are extremely professional and pet friendly, i have 4 big dogs and they became apart of the family while working outside. He created hidden doors and pulled off a magic trick ! He will be the person I call every time I need something done ! Thank you so much Pete and team !! Excellent work

Loving my deck!

I would highly recommend Pete and his crew for the amazing deck he built us this summer. Pete is professional, knowledgeable, and skilled in his trade. He assisted us in finalizing a design that accommodated all our requirements into a beautiful multi-layer deck.

Composite Siding Installation

Trust is everything when choosing a contractor and Pete fostered it with ease. We had 3 contractors' estimates but what set Pete apart was his ability to foster trust. From our multiple consultations and his timely follow-ups to the detailed scope of work he provided which broke down every aspect of the project from prep to cleanup; we were reassured time and time again through his diligence and personability that his team was right for the job. We couldn't be happier with how the siding turned out, thank you again!

Backyard fence, patio and pergola

Pete delivered on what he promised and most of all he respected my choices on what I wanted in my backyard. I really appreciated the payment structure broken down into defined project stages. I made some minor changes during the project and Pete was quick to accomodate. His team was professional and friendly, transforming my backyard into a haven I am proud to have friends and family over to enjoy.

Home Renovation

I met with a few contractors before meeting Peter aka big Pete. I was stressed out trying to find a contractor I can trust bc I have personal friends that have had very bad experiences. After meeting Peter, he gave me a detailed review (scope of work). This had every little detail which is nice.

The entire project took nearly 2 months but I got 5 rooms gutted and renovated. The craftsmanship of what is underneath the finishes is what is important to me (ie. Kerdi for bathrooms, adding more studs, etc).

Every single day big Pete would text me on his arrival time and 2 times he could not make it, he gave me a days notice.

After a week, be gained my trust by myself and my family. The finished product is extremely high end and the price was a fraction of other quotes that I received. It wasnt the cheapest but now with the work I got done, it was a bargain and a half.

Having someone that is transparent with you, communicates constantly, allows me to vent which I did on 2 occasions, find solutions and continuously making you feel apart of the work is massive.

Big Petes team led by Val are hard working, trustful individuals based on my experiences.

I am thrilled to have a handy person to call now that I trust.

Great Job

Pete removed the existing "Popcorn" finish on our family room ceiling with ease using and amazing sander connected to a "Hepa Filter" vacuum . He and his assistant repaired the existing ceiling surface and painted two coats of fresh coats of ceiling white on the family and and adjoining kitchen ceiling. The completed job looks great! Thanks Pete.
