Testimonials
“The entire staff at Old Forge Builders is always a delight to work with. They are extremely professional, thorough and well organized – resulting in projects that run efficiently and smoothly from start to finish.”
Old Forge just completed a 1M plus renovation on our house in Avon, NJ. Before starting our renovation we interviewed 5 different builders for the job. We found that all of the pricing was, for the most part comparable, so we had to make our decision based on who we thought could ultimately deliver us our dream house. Once we sat down with Dave, Gary and Tim my wife and I were sold. They exuded such confidence and knowledge on so many aspects of construction and made us feel like they would put their heart and soul into making our house perfect. They made the choice very easy.
Avon, and the towns on the Jersey Shore are tough, to say the least. There were so many obstacles at the beginning and throughout the job that could have not only affected the schedule, but also the final product. The Old Forge team stayed strong and confident throughout the difficult times and just kept coming up with solutions to very difficult problems. It is never easy to renovate or build a house, but you definitely want a builder that can stay the course when things get tough, because they will, and Old Forge definitely provides the resources and knowledge to handle every detail. Having Dave at the helm providing all of the confidence, and the rest of the team handling the day to day details we always felt like we were in good hands.
I have dealt with other contractors in the past, but have never felt the level of care that we received from Old Forge. We really felt that they were doing things as if it was one of their own homes. I really have never experienced anything like it. They just put their heads down and get the job done no matter what. I truly believe that having the leadership that Dave provides is really what makes this company different than any other I have dealt with, or heard about. His staff really believes in him and his leadership skills and the way he interacts with the client and his team are really unmatched.
We are now at the completion of our job. The CO for the house was delivered to us on time. Considering the many issues we experience it is truly a miracle that it happened. One of the issues I have had with other contractors was their inability to finish the job. Once you get your CO, there are generally small issues that still need to get resolved. This is where most builders fall short. With Old Forge, I just sent them list of small items and they attacked the list like it was the first day of the job. Really amazing! They completed all of the small items and then some. Our house is 100% perfect with absolutely no open punch list items. I find that to be very rare. I cannot express in words how grateful my wife and I are to Old Forge for all that they have done for us. I believe no other builder could have done the job at the quality level in this timeline. I know that I am really tough when it comes to every detail, but they completely met every expectation I had. I would recommend them to anyone that wants a team of professionals that can handle anything and deliver the perfect product.
I have used Old Forge on many occasions in the past on our child day care build outs and have found them to be very conscientious and thorough in their work with excellent attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend them in the future, we are very pleased with the work and the state the site was left in on completion.
