What Our Customers Are Saying

The functional and beautiful room meets the needs of all in our family. We confidently recommend R5 Construction to anyone looking for construction work.

Bill & Ann JamesRosemont, PA

When I needed the deck on my townhouse rebuilt, Dave and R5 Construction made the process easy for me. The proposal he gave me was very complete, and when the job was done there were no hidden surprises. When he said they would be there at 8 am, he was knocking on the door at 7:55. The job progressed quickly, and the cleanup was very thorough. There were homeowner’s association rules to follow, and Dave made himself aware of them, working with me to make sure we stayed within the guidelines. I am enjoying my fantastic new deck, and the compliments from neighbors and friends as well. I highly recommend R5 Construction to anyone who asks, and I am planning on working with them on another project in the near future.

After several futile attempts to find a contractor willing to take on the job of doubling the size of our kitchen, we were fortunate to find R5 construction. Not only was the price more than competitive but their quality, attention to detail, and overall professionalism unsurpassed. Dave and his subcontractors were on time, on budget, and most importantly to my wife kept the job neat and clean. I would recommend Dave and R5 to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional contractor.

I used Dave for two jobs. Both required custom matching woodwork and other fine details. He did a neat, clean, and durable job. No hidden surprises or delays. Very professional. I plan to use him again.
