All reviews for Bella Brothers Construction

We hired Bella Brothers for a complete rowhome renovation in the spring/summer of 2016. The short version of our review - we love our home, had a very good experience working with Bella Brothers, and wouldn't hesitate to hire them for a future project! For more details, keep reading!

Just to give you an idea of the scope of this project - this is a two story rowhome built in 1910, in need of a complete head to toe renovation. New electricity, plumbing, HVAC, all new windows and doors, new floors. On the first floor, they removed 3 walls, installed one new support beam, rebuilt the rear of the house (to the extent that it was basically an addition), renovated the entire kitchen, added a powder room, and recessed lighting. All bedrooms on the second floor were updated, and the bathroom was expanded and completely renovated. Half of the basement was finished, and laundry was moved from the first floor to the unfinished half of the basement.

Before we hired them, we must have spoken with at least 15 other contractors. Fortunately for us, we came across Bella Brothers and it felt like the right fit after our first interview. We had a very honest conversation about the project and Tom seemed to have the experience in rowhome renovations that we were looking for. Tom was very careful to make sure we stayed within our budget, which we appreciated. He also let us contact several references.

Bella Brothers also had one main asset that differentiated them from all of the competition that we considered - their full-time designer, Arsan and a boutique showroom. Not a single contractor that we spoke to offered either a designer or a showroom. Both Arsan and Tom helped guide us through the design process and were patient, thoughtful and informative throughout. Where other contractors said "no it can't be done," Tom and Arsan found a way. Visiting their showroom made the process easy - they had samples of most of the finishings (floors, tiles, knobs, cabinets, etc) in their showroom so we got to see everything in person before we made any decisions.

In regards to cost - During our initial meeting with Tom, he said his strategy is to budget for everything upfront so that there aren't any surprises down the road, and that turned out to be true. There were no "surprise" cost increases during the entire project for things that Tom's team didn't account for. The only cost increases were additional items that we decided to add to the scope on our own (either because we didn't think of it in our initial contract, or we simply changed our mind).

As for timing - the project only went slightly over our timeframe, but that was okay for our situation.

In regards to quality - Bella Brothers didn't go the "cheap" route - we have lived in the house for 5 months so far, and everything is functioning smoothly, looks great, and seems to be very durable and good quality.

As clients, I'm pretty sure that we were on the demanding, meticulous, hyper-focused and particular side -- I know that we were not "easy" clients. Not once during the process did the Bella Brothers team make us feel like we were too demanding or asking too much - they were incredibly accommodating to all of our requests and (not exaggerating) hundreds of emails and many phone calls we must have made during this process.

At the end of the day, we LOVE our new home and we would not hesitate to hire Bella Brothers for a future project. We highly recommend them to anyone doing a home renovation!

Had a great experience with Bella. New kitchen, remodeled second floor bathroom, added laundry on second floor, added bathroom on third floor and refinished all floors on all 3 levels. Worked well with my bank with regards to financing and was professional from start to finish. Would recommend and work with them again.

Dear Tom, My wife and I wish to thank you and everyone at Bella Brothers for making our recent home addition project such a pleasant experience. From start to finish you and your staff carefully guided us through every decision related to our project. The efforts of your creative design consultant and your ever-vigilant and helpful project manager ensured that we would have a new Family Room completed on schedule and both beautiful and functionable in design!

The craftsmanship and attention to detail so evident in the work performed by your building crews, is a true reflection of their professionalism! We have received numerous compliments on the work performed, even from our Township Building Inspector!

We could not be happier with our new room! Thanks for making every phase of this construction project a hassle-free experience! We would not hesitate to utilize your services again in the future and will happily reccommend Bella Brothers to our family and friends!

Sincerely,

Ed & Lori Zongo

The team from Bella Brothers did a great job on our basement renovation. They were on time and responsive to our requests. They worked hard and were often early and stayed late. We are thrilled with the results.

I have used Bella Construction on three occasions and they never disappoint. The work was completed timely and efficiently and all my expectations were met. The staff is amazing and they also communicate very well. When looking for a contractor I look for reliability and with Bella Brothers I have found that.
I will continue to refer Bella Brothers to family, friends, and neighbors.

We are extremely happy with the renovation of our kitchen and powder room. Bella Brothers prpvided us with quality carpenyeres who were eficient and skilled. The project was done on time. We especially appreciated that the project mamager kept us informed with what would happen everyday.
We would happily recomend this company. And will use them again.

We have used Bella Brothers twice so far in the past three years, for our home improvements. They built a beautiful deck on the back of our home, and have replaced our old doors with beautiful new doors. We will call Bella Brothers again when we are ready for our next home improvement. They are very professional and there employees are respectful all the time.

Working with Bella Bros on this project was a very positive experience and worth every penny. The craftmanship was high quality. The project Manager Mike was great to work with. The work was completed timely, and the results were great.

We used Bella Brothers in May to add a two-level roof deck with Spiral stairs on our Philadelphia Row Home. They were amazing from beginning to end. We received our estimate quickly, and Tom was great with us having a million questions, as this was a huge investment for us. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and every person we dealt with was polite and helpful.

We have two future projects coming up that we plan on using Bella again and recommend them to everyone we know.

It went very well. Tom and his staff gave me a beautiful, custom kitchen with everything I asked for. So modern and efficient, I love cooking in it. The process was well organized from designs and layouts to demolition to installation and all the way to the final touch ups. About the process and execution - After a delay in starting based on my decision to change course, it all went smoothly. Arsan, the designer, knew what could be done and drafted up a great plan. The materials we used were top notch and I ordered most everything right in the showroom. I was only responsible for ordering my own appliances and lighting, just had to schedule my delivery. Eric and his crew did a great job, they were professional, knowledgeable and courteous, answering any questions I had. And they were flexible when on-the-spot changes needed to be made. Danny and his crew finished off the final touches to my satisfaction. I had gotten a number of estimate before going with Bella Bros and I feel I definitely got a good deal. It all turned out just great! I would recommend them to anyone considering a remodeling project.

I cannot say enough about how terrific Mike F, project manager was. He was always responsive and timely; his knowledge and ability to diagnose and remedy issues in all areas is impressive….from finding the screws needed to install door handles from Turkey that came without the hardware needed to diagnosing plumbing issues, overseeing the large projects and keeping track of the small and unexpected issues that inevitably arise in a construction job. He seems able to fix almost anything! Mike went out of his way to speak with condo manager to make sure I got the help I needed to resolve a plumbing issue in the condo building that was beyond the scope of the work Bella did in my apartment. Bella provided a conscientious, skillful team of professionals, lead by a great project manager!

As a newcomer to renovations, I could not have made a smarter choice than to hand over my aging condo to Bella Brothers Construction. My kitchen, living room, and bathroom were all magnificently transformed through their expertise and professionalism. Each member of the team brought years of experience and skill to the job; I could trust them every step of the way. The guidance I received, the neat and courteous service, the admirable workmanship, and the quality materials all contributed to making renovating an uplifting experience instead of the nightmare that I had feared. It was a pleasure to work with a company so dedicated to pleasing their customers. I will definitely enjoy the beautiful results for years to come.

We had a really great experience with Bella Brothers. Not only were they polite, clean, and good communicators (which is saying a lot!), but they are also artists. We came in knowing that we wanted to revamp our bathroom, but with no real vision. They helped us to design a gorgeous, state-of-the-art shower that looks amazing and fulfills all of our needs. We're incredibly grateful to the Bella Brothers team!

Very pleased with the results (cement wall, exterior paint, new screen door, etc.) of Bella Brothers. Thomas Denicolo provided a reasonable estimate and accommodated our time frame. Mike Forsythe kept the project on track. Mike provided updates for when the workers would be arriving and personally oversaw the work to ensure completed. Cement workers did an excellent job. Would highly recommend Bella to family and friends.

We had an excellent experience working with Bella Brothers. From beginning to end, they were very professional and worked with us to make our dream master suite that we always wanted (and within our budget). I really liked that we were able to see renderings of what our bathroom would look like, as well as that we were able to visit the showroom to see what finishes BB hand selected for us. These were not services offered by other companies we considered, and that's why we ultimately ended up going with BB. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a stunning master bathroom renovation.

Bella Brothers did an amazing job with the redesign/remodeling of our kitchen. This job included moving pipes as well as updating electricity. Thank you to the design team, our project managers Stephanie and Eric who were always very professional and never hesitant to answer any of our questions. A special thank you to our contractor Kilder, who worked tirelessly throughout the July and August heatwave and never complained. Kilder’s work ethic, professionalism and attention to detail is amazing. This man has hands of gold. Thank you again Bella Brothers for our beautiful kitchen. Sincerely, Ann & Anthony

From start to finish, the Bella Brothers team was supportive and thorough.

We contracted Bella Brothers to construct a Master Bath suite which entailed combining an existing small bathroom and a spare bedroom that we were not using. This was our dream bathroom to be constructed in our dream house which we never intend to leave. We had always envisioned this master bath ever since we bought the house three years ago, and we considered five contractors for this important project in our house before signing with Bella.
Bella Brothers did an excellent job in seeing our vision become a reality.
Everyone at Bella's office was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Christina contacted us to set up the various meetings, and was always very accommodating to fit our schedule.
Once construction started, my wife and I were extremely satisfied as to how the project was executed. The subcontractors were all lined up and ready to work, and there was never a large "gap" of inactivity. Bella told us a budget number, and they stuck to it, even though there were reasonable opportunities for them to increase the cost of the project. Every member of Bella's team was professional, polite, they listened to us, and they were respectful of our home. I would not hesitate to hire Bella Brothers, Inc. for any other renovations to my home!

Over a year ago I had the pleasure of having my kitchen and small bathroom renovated by Bella Brothers.

I first met with Arsan, who was very pleasant, and immediately was enthusiastic with the renovation. I knew at the meeting I was going with Bella Brothers. I met their highly professional team throughout the renovation, all very respectful and accommodating to any changes. The entire process took about eight weeks from demo to completion, there was lots of back and forth between me and the team as the renovation was happening and always a timely response from Mike or Eric who were the projects managers. As with a project this size and work there are bound to be obstacles that arise that may have not been foreseen until demo is done or the renovation starts to really take life, I experienced that working with Bella Brothers during this, they were very easy to work with, very helpful, understanding, and again very respectful to our home.

Today, my family is very happy with our kitchen and bathroom.

We will have future renovations done in other areas of our house and I hope to work with Bella Brothers again for all those.

The Bella Brothers team remodeled my very outdated kitchen and I am thrilled with the results! They answered all of my (many) questions and were professional and friendly throughout the process. The crew went above and beyond. I will definitely hire Bella again for future projects!

Earlier this year I hired Bella Brothers to complete some renovations to my master bathroom. My top priority when looking for a contractor is reliability. I want to feel confident that I can rely upon the quality of the workmanship, that the work will begin and be completed on time, and that the contractor will communicate openly with me about the status of the project and any problems or necessary changes that arise. I was very satisfied with Bella Brothers on all these accounts. I found the process of working with them to be extremely easy and comfortable. Every step of the way from when I first contacted them through to completion of the project they followed up in a timely and professional manner. Their project manager, Eric, was great to work with and very responsive to my questions and concerns. I’m really pleased with the finished product. The bathroom looks great, and I feel confident that the workmanship was of a high standard. Overall, I am very glad that I decided to hire Bella Brothers to complete this project. I will recommend Bella Brothers to my friends and family and plan to use them again for future renovations to my home.
