Emre and co deliver a quality service. Plum Construction are now our go-to firm for all home plumbing, electrical and residential construction needs. Heck, he even installed a kitchen faucet! On every occasion I've immediately felt assured that I'm not only getting high value for money but that attention to detail and customer service are high on Emre's radar.

Emre manages his calendar well, whether it's an emergency or less urgent repair job, he uses email, text and calls to confirm the time. His on-site evaluations were discussed using lay-man's terms so I always understood what he was proposing and what the diagnosed problem was. I felt totally safe leaving him to do the job whether or not I was in the house.

I can't recommend this guy enough

An undetected leak inside the wall from an upstairs kitchen had caused extensive damage to the studs, exterior siding, and the room below. Emre and Josh removed and replaced all the damaged structures, installed new siding outside, and drywall inside, repainted the exterior and interior, and installed a new dishwasher and garbage disposal. They did excellent work, didn't charge an arm and a leg, and finished the project in eight working days. I would definitely call them again, if the need arises.

We had Emre come over to fix a variety of problems: rotting exterior trim, door not insulated, dryer vent not connected properly. The work he did is literally better than new. Emre was very prompt. The work was completed on time, on schedule, and to bid. No surprises.

We hired Plum Construction to enclose our rarely used front porch and convert it into a mudroom. Emre and Josh were great! They listened to what we wanted, and we ended up with exactly the mudroom that we envisioned. They were upfront about hiccups along the way related to the initial time and cost estimates. They are very knowledgeable and skilled, and have great attention to detail. They have a lot of integrity and take pride in what they do and making sure that their customers are pleased. I would definitely hire them again for future projects.

We have been saving up to replace our deck, which was starting to rot out. Both myself and my wife had some very specific characteristics we wanted our new deck to have. I wanted a trellis over the whole deck so I could plant grapes and train them up to create a canopy in the summer, reminiscent of many terraces I had seen in Spain. My wife grew up with a deck that was fully covered, and loved being able to spend time on the deck even in the rain. These two features seemed incompatible and my wife and I seemed to be at an impass. But during the design and bidding process, Emre was able to work both of our features into the design, creating a partial roof that was sloped and raised high enough so we could run a trellis underneath. He was very detailed in the bid of the different options we had for these features, explaining how they would be installed, and the costs associated with them.

Once we settled on the design, Emre provided us with a detailed contract, breaking down costs for materials, labor, etc, how long the job would take, and terms for material or labor overages. I have had some poor experiences with contractors in the past not honoring the extent of the work they agreed to do, to the point of having to put a hold on a check issued and threatening legal action. What a night and day difference! It's really nice to work with professionals.

During construction, Emre and Josh worked cleanly and efficiently, always respecting our space and doing everything they could to be minimally intrusive. When construction was complete, Emre walked me through and explained many of the details that went into our deck, how they laid the foundation so the deck would not shift or warp if the ground got soft in the winter, how they spaced the pillars and boards to give room for the wood to expand. These may be things that are common sense to the seasoned handy man, but that is not me. It was reassuring to be walked through all the detailed craftsmanship that went into our deck, and makes the investment feel even more worth it.

I could not be happier with the job Plum Construction has done. We have a beautiful deck, and have already had many a barbeque as well as a few nightcaps listening to the rain tapping on the roof. And it's only going to get better once my grapes climb all the way up the trellis to make delicious canopy.

They really did a great job, and Plum is now my go to for any job, big or small. Their quality of work and professionalism is a relief!

I have a home and a single family rental property that over the past years has been in need of mulitple repairs. I go to Plum Construction first as I know Emre will give me an accurate and honest appraisal of the repair needed. He offers options and manages all the repairs on time and at the price he quoted. He has completed a bathroom remodel, fence repair, new garage door installation, hardwood floor installation, front porch/deck repairs. He is priced very fairly and does meticulous work. I highly recommend Plum Construction,
