Reviews
All reviews“We hired Rich after hurricane Sandy destroyed our beach home. At the time Grate Contracting was doing a window install on our main home. Rich ended up re-doing our whole house. He handled all the inspections and dealt with the insurance company. We were thankful at that point that we had him. We even invited his whole team down the next summer for a block party. Rich is honest and a good communicator. We highly recommend him.”
“We started working with Grate Contracting 11 years ago. So far he has done all 5 bathrooms, a major kitchen remodel with a addition, flooring throughout out home approx 5500 sq ft. He also replaced all the doors in our home and he just finished building our daughters home. Grate Contracting is more then just a contractor, he is honest and fair.”
