EDIT: After leaving my original review I received another call notifying me they had messed up the billing again and that my original quote price of $149 was correct and they would refund the mistaken extra charged. The work they did was fine, staff were all nice. The only issue was making sure billing is correct. Definitely keep an eye on your invoice total and ask for an itemized bill if anything seems off! I am glad they rectified the issue and thus will change my original rating here to reflect that, but the fact this even happened is why I will not rate five stars. Original review: Was quoted $149 and received an invoice for $450. Called politely expressing my surprise and requested an itemized bill. Got a call back shortly after and was told they made a mistake and the invoice was accidentally sent for two hours work instead of correctly for just one. Makes one question if this mistake has happened to others… New invoice arrives for $225 and was told that this bill included the cost of the caulk. $76 for some caulk?? Still never received an itemized bill to confirm why the estimate a so much lower the final price, so I can only fathom they charge an insane amount for any materials utilized. In general this made no sense that the time cut in half cut the bill exactly in half yet somehow included materials… When my initial quote of $149 I presumed was for an hour’s work not including materials. (This job was just installing a new exhaust vent cover externally by the way… Nothing complex.) Overall I felt quite mislead by the lack of details to their billing process.

I am very satisfied with the work that Russell Barkey did shoring up the privacy fence panels that needed to be attached. Russell was courteous, professional, friendly and he knew how to fix the issue. He also recapped exactly what he did upon completion of the project. I will definitely call you folks for any other repairs or replacements I may need! I know we are teed up in spring to create a double gate and shore up the leaning panels on the left side of my home. I would recommend!!!!

I can't say enough good things about TruBlue of Cranberry. I had a plumbing issue that resulted in a good chunk of my kitchen being removed including cabinets, countertops, sink, dishwasher, drywall, and insulation. I had a plumber repair the plumbing issue, but was left with a completely gutted kitchen. I was about to find TrueBlue online, and from start to finish I was impressed with their professionalism, punctuality, and communication. Upon leaving them a message to schedule a consult, my call was quickly returned by Matt and was able to get on his schedule relatively quickly -- many other contractors I contacted too weeks to get an appointment or never contacted me back at all. He did a thorough walk through, asked me a lot of questions, and was able to get an estimate back to me fairly quickly. Upon hiring them, Elisa quickly reached out to schedule my construction date, which was was only about a week later. The day of construction, Doug arrived right on time with Cam and Matt to evaluate the work and get started on the project. Though initially it seemed like a straightforward kitchen re-install, the job proved more complicated than originally intended (as most home improvement tends to be). I was appreciative that at every snag in the plan, I was kept informed and was given options. The team worked with me to execute the plan to my satisfaction. The work was done with high quality and great integrity--no corners were cut and in most cases, things were installed better than the original kitchen. Doug even built me a custom corner cabinet when they learned that ordering one would take 6 weeks. It was beautiful work. The job took a total of 3 separate days over two weeks, and Elisa did a great job getting me on the schedule promptly. Like I said before, the job was done with great integrity. If a new fixture was opened and a scratch was found, they took it back to get a new one. If something didn't fit perfectly, they found the one that did. This project was complicated, but the team were great problem solvers and were able to piece back my kitchen beautifully. Overall I'm extremely pleased with the TruBlue Team: Matt, Doug, Elisa, and Cam. They were a pleasure to work with--very professional and respectful. I will absolutely be hiring them again for future projects.

Matt, Elisa, Jason and Doug did a wonderful job for us for a project installing an overhang on the back of our house! Since purchasing our house in 2017, we've had leaking in our basement beneath where a deck was installed (which used to have an awning over top of it). Matt and Jason came out to diagnose the problem, and Jason and Doug worked quickly and professionally to build out an overhang for us, and install a seamless (56 foot, one piece) gutter to replace the old ones. We haven't had any leaking since, and Elisa was fantastic to work with in the office! We won't hesitate to reach out again to have the team help us out in the future!
