Cortese Construction Services Corporation, Clarence NY

Cortese Construction performed an outstanding update of our kitchen in a 90 year old house in the City of Buffalo. Phil Cortese had a vision of how we could better rearrange the kitchen, update and add more counter and cupboard space. The Cortese employees were outstanding. Any issues were promptly resolved to our full satisfaction. They stood by all their work. We are totally pleased by the workmanship and the professionalism displayed in the project and will hire Cortese again when we remodel our bathroom. Thanks Cortese Construction for an outstanding job!

After many years of research and looking at bathroom remodeling I decided to convert a 1920 sunroom into a SPA bathroom. I spoke with 4 construction companies. Cortese was the most easiest to work with and met my budget needs. Nick developed a few great floor plans. Ron the carpenter did an excellent job turning the sunroom into a room of my dreams. A soaking tub by the windows and a walk in rain shower with a pebble floor. I love it! I lived with only one small bathroom upstairs with an old pedestal tub for 15 years! Brian made sure everything went according to plan. Cortese is all about customer satisfaction. They truly want you to be happy. They went above and beyond my expectations.

I had to have a range installed and a new door installed in my living room/garage. I am so pleased with the work that was done. They were so meticulous and tried so hard to do exactly what I wanted even though what I wanted created extensive work. I wanted my door to open into the garage instead of opening into the living room. This created More work and some Creativity as I should have bought a custom door. But they made it work with what they had. The result is absolutely beautiful I can’t stop looking at my door and I love going in and out the way that it should’ve been from the beginning.

Justin was so professional so charming and so accommodating. I understand he hasn’t been working with Cortese very long but I believe he should have a raise. He had a helper but I can’t remember his name and he too was very pleasant. I can’t wait to have more work that needs to be done so that I can have them back.

I called for a quote on bathroom remodeling, they told me it would be a month before they could send someone out, June 28th they stopped by to look at my bathroom, called twice asking when I would receive quote, today is September 14th still no quote, that's terrible

EDIT. I really appreciated the owner's attempts to reach me and to resolve this issue. Although I have already hired another company for this particular job, I am impressed with their responsiveness and am certainly more likely to try them again if we have another job to get done.

"I contacted them in May about a small job. They scheduled someone to come out in July to take measurements, now it's nearly October and I haven't even gotten the estimate. Needless to say I hired someone else. "

Cortese Construction did an outstanding job remodeling our kitchen, including he custom made cabinetry, countertop, recessed lighting, under counter led lighting, painting, etc. Of particular note is the work done by foreman Mike Shields and the painting by Ryan. Everyone else at Cortese Construction also deserve accolades, including Dominic Cortese, his son Phil, his daughter Michelle. We are enjoying our new kitchen very much!

This is one of the best companies I've ever worked with for a construction project. Their handyman services team, especially Scott, was professional, on-time, clean and made sure I was completely satisfied. We had one mishap and they made it more than right without a single complaint and superior workmanship. I would highly recommend them.

Cortese did a phenomenal job of working with my family for two full-bathroom remodels-excellent customer service and a detailed vision. Chris and Craig were great at our house. They were timely, cleaned up their work each day, and were nice (even to our two cats). Thanks for your help transforming our house!

What a transition! Our kitchen was over 45 years old. The only thing that changed through the years was the linoleum and paint. It is so nice to sit at our new breakfast island and take in our new kitchen. Although we signed in April and work didn't start until September, it was well worth the wait. It is also a credit to how popular/busy they are. We were told it would take 6 weeks. Technically, if you don't count the one-week wait for the countertops to come in, the job was finished in 5 weeks. The cost is what we expected and were quoted. Dominic wasn't afraid to provide his opinion as he designed the plan. Selecting the finishes was easy and convenient at their showroom. I liked that I didn't have to go to various suppliers to make selections. Both Mike and Mason were friendly, courteous and professional. We were very comfortable with them (and Josh when he came with deliveries/pick ups) being in our house - even when we weren't there. The site was completely cleaned up each night before they went home. Either Mike or Mason would have a "debrief" with us each evening so that we knew what to expect the next day. They were a great partnership! Mike is a perfectionist and there was no punch list when he left on the last day. He'd ask how we wanted certain things done and we'd always look to him for suggestions/guidance as the expert. We are so pleased and would hire Cortese Construction Services again. Thank you.

I had Cortese Construction remodel my kitchen and it turned out phenomenal. Their custom cabinets are truly the best quality and I get compliments on them all the time. The quality of products and craftsmanship far exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend them for any home improvement anyone may have.

My wife and I have been long time customers of the Cortese Construction family. We started listening to Domenic on WBEN over 20 years ago when we were "do-it-yourselfers". As we have gotten older we have greatly taken advantage of their Handyman service, and just last year we had them update our master bathroom to make it handicap accessible for my wife. The final product was remarkable, their team came in and laid down plastic and taped off areas to keep the dust to minimum, they cleaned up daily and never left our house a mess. Their men and women were very respectful of our home and we loved having them. When the project wrapped up we were sad to see them go but loved the new bathroom they left us with. As always, highly recommend the team from Cortese!

I still cringe every time I look in the bedroom. Pretty sure Stevie Wonder would do a better job

My kitchen reconstruction (down to the studs) was made easy by the co-ordination of each phase by Cortese Construction. Great care in workmanship was shown by the workman (Mike) assigned to my job and the result was very fine. My custom cabinets are a dream as are the corner lazy-susans. Philip Cortes, who oversaw the project, went out of his way to make the project move along smoothly and personally assisted me with an appliance size problem. I am very happy with the result and would recommend this company for any household reconstruction need.

Master bath retreat updated to include antique claw-foot tub, custom wallpaper, tile shower walls & floor and custom glass enclosure. Beautiful work!

Under Phil Cortese's supervision, our home in Lancaster underwent extensive kitchen and dining room renovations. My wife and I are thrilled with the result. Michelle Cortese Manfredo skillfully and patiently coordinated colors, patterns, and appliances, while guiding us through some rather interesting twists and turns, which always raise part and parcel challenges to such a project. Her uncanny insights led us to quality materials, products and appliances.

Phil and his foreman, Mike Hewlett are truly talented and skilled men, ALWAYS striving for, and devoted to, quality and perfection. Both Phil and Mike tirelessly applied their talents to our project, and throughout, went the extra mile to accommodate our wishes and needs. In this regard, a very special shout- out to Phil, who went well beyond the scope of his responsibilities to mitigate some shunned duties of other businesses attached to our project. Both men are more than substantially professional; they a very decent human beings, and we have the utmost respect and affection for both.

Therefore, both my wife and I ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommend Cortese Construction, a proud family business which is truly an asset to Western New York.

Great company to work with. Jake, Tim and Rich were professional, and did an amazing job. During the project kept area clean and organized. Would give them a 10 star rating

Cortese was able to service ALL our home renovation needs and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! Their handyman division took care of all our small repairs around the house that I had been putting off (trim, drywall repair), and at a fair hourly rate. I also got a price for a kitchen remodel- and was surprised that such a well-known company was so reasonably priced! Not only does Cortese have a quality reputation but they are keeping their prices at a fair market rate. We got two other estimates from local companies for our kitchen- both came in higher and didn’t give us the warm feeling of confidence we felt from Cortese. We decided to go with Cortese for our kitchen revamp and the outcome was outstanding! Our kitchen- the heart of our home, looks like a million bucks thanks to Cortese Construction.we will definitely be telling our friends and everyone we know who's superior skills got our home to look so great- Cortese that's who!

We are very pleased that we selected Cortese Construction Services as the contractor for our new kitchen counter in our home. We had a fantastic experience from the product selection through the installation process. Michelle from Cortese, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with regard to product selection and design choice. Everyone we came in contact with was very professional and made this a seamless process. I will definitely contact Cortese for our next remodel project. Many thanks.

I found that working with Cortese's project manager very disturbing. He is suppose to look in on jobs but did not until i asked him to come and go over bills that i was billed in three different places for wood used for the job. The job they did was suppose to take 2 weeks and ended up being 7 weeks. This was due to the flooring that was ordered came in with flaws in it. That could not be helped but it was still a long going project and so sad that this was not looked into at a reasonable time factor.

Cortese did a complete remodel of our kitchen in our condo located in downtown Buffalo. From start to finish, we were continually impressed with the quality and service by Cortese. Nick Cortese met with us personally at all stages of the project, and ensured that every detail was to our satisfaction, treating it as if it were his own kitchen. In terms of the actual work, we could not be more happy with the quality and aesthetic of the finished project. We went with Cortese custom line of cabinets, which are top notch in terms of sturdiness and overall quality. We had a very specific vision and aesthetic in mind when we began the project and Cortese delivered perfectly. Excellent job all around by Cortese.
