"Over the years, and I have been retired for 13 years, my wife and I have utilized the services of a great number of contractors. In spite of the many 'no-shows,' late arrivals, and unkept promises, we decided to recently take on a major remodel of our master bathroom. We did the normal preliminary preparation before contacting prospective contractors. That being said, we began in earnest, and soon learned that the difficulty in obtaining a contractor who would bid the work was the starting point. When we called the Belmont Construction office, and established a date and time that was convenient for both parties, we were hopeful that the closeness of the office to our home would change the sad trend of contractors not showing up, arriving late and not apologizing, that had developed at this stage of our remodel.
"We were surprised when Kevin arrived on time, agreed with most of our wishes, and pointed out several areas and approaches we had not considered. When the prices arrived several days later, they were concise, written in a language we could understand, and were lower than three other prices we had received. Also, the completion schedule was in line with our wishes. Frankly, we looked at each other and asked ourselves, 'Is this too good to be true?'
"We signed a contract, the team arrived on time, and six weeks later the job was complete. During this period, I was out of the country for a month, but I was comfortable that Belmont Construction would hold to their promises, and they did. The work was so good that we additionally painted our bedroom, kitchen, and made a major overhaul of a deck problem we were dreading.
"We were so pleased with the quality of the work that we told several of our friends about the work, and they had work done as well. Both parties sent me a message thanking me for endorsing the team.
"My wife and I highly endorse Kevin and Belmont Construction's workmanship to any and all who are considering contractual work. We are very pleased with the experience."

"The outside of our house was in desperate need of being repainted. Kevin Schortgen and Belmont Construction came recommended by an acquaintance and we are so glad to have chosen Kevin for this project.
"We’ve had experience with several contractors over the years and most of the time it is like pulling teeth to get the work done. Not the case with Belmont Construction. Kevin was enthusiastic and professional about the project, checking in and calling back promptly when we called him with questions. He was on time, both daily when he and his crew were working and for the whole project. He said it would be done in a time frame and it was.
"Whenever there were questions, Kevin explained the options as well as the pros and cons of each option. He then gave us time to decide the best way to proceed. He never pressured us to answer immediately and never assumed we wanted things done a certain way.
"He and his crew were meticulous to detail. We could not find anything needing to be fixed or redone on our final walkthrough. The area around the house was clean as well. There was not a drop of paint anywhere, not even on the plants or dirt.
"In the months since, we have received many compliments from family and friends about the work. Even other building professionals have commented on what a great job was done.
"We highly recommend Kevin and Belmont Construction and look forward to future projects with him!"
