Blue Sky Construction

I've used Blue Sky Construction for almost 10 years in two homes. In my first home, I had them completely redo the kitchen (cabinets, floors, backsplash, painting), finish a basement (walls, ceiling, new bathroom), design and construct a custom built-in entertainment center (floor to ceiling, 10 feet wide), install tile floors in various rooms, re-paint just about every room, designed and built a custom bar with a custom wooden light fixture over it, and other miscellaneous small home improvements. My second home was a 3000 square foot "fixer upper". I was to move into it in 3 months with a 6 month pregnant wife. The house did not have a kitchen or floors (beyond subfloors). Every wall was damaged in some manner. It was a really tight timeline. Blue Sky Construction completed the job, working nights and weekends. The work involved installing brand new kitchen with new floors and backsplash. Every wall was repaired and painted (as well as most ceilings). About 1500 square feet of hardwood flooring was installed. The living room had a venetian plaster faux-finish done. 50% of the windows were replaced. Trim and baseboard was installed in most rooms. There were countless small repairs and re-inforcements done. Most doors were replaced. After this was completed, I've had Blue Sky Construction back to enlarge and redo a powder room, install an 8 foot wide sliding patio door, and build a play-room for my two year old son (with custom built floor to ceiling shelves). My second house is an on-going project. I constantly have little things that need attention. Blue Sky handles the little jobs too, even if it's just an afternoon of work. Jason, the owner is vey easy to work with. While some of the basic work is subcontracted out, he's onsite, doing the major work, on every job. The quality of construction is top-notch and he uses high-quality materials. He has a sharp eye for color and can provide you with ideas and guide you through the project. I grew up in a home where my parents had renovations going on constantly. One of the problems they had and I hear from others is how when the last check is handed over, the contractor is nowhere to be found regardless of whether the job is done. Blue Sky Construction stands behind their work. When you call Blue Sky Construction, you talk directly to the owner. I highly recommend them.

We presented Jason with a unique challenge when we asked him to remodel our basement. We had a small budget and wanted a fully finished feel with out fully finishing the basement. Our rooms are 20 X17 and joined in an L shape. While the ceilings were higher than most Pittsburgh homes, there were a lot of wires and beams that hindered our ability to put in a drop ceiling. We also were looking to install a 1/2 bath and bar area. Jason worked with us from the beginning in a collaboration on the design we choose (industrial/contemporary) He presented solutions we never would have thought of and he always gave us several options within that solution so we could make smarter choices. Jason was always conscious of our budget constraints. He used affordable new materials and re purposed a lot of materials we had sitting in our basement from previous jobs completed in our home. Jason and his team never lost sight of our vision as they constructed a rustic bar with custom concrete counter top. They installed 2 1/2 inch wood strips to transform the ceiling into an art piece while solving for the wires and beams and giving us the best option to access plumbing and electrical if needed. They built a 1/2 bath in a tight space and still found a way to provide ample space for maneuvering both inside and outside the bathroom. Jason tool oak flooring left over from our kitchen remodel and created an art piece/backdrop for our dartboard and several blackboards behind the bar and next to the dartboard. Jason choose a textured river rock style paint in a medium gray for the walls to compliment the copper painted piping and black painted beams giving us the industrial feel we were looking for. Jason installed new recessed lighting and customized the color to our specifications. Jason delivered on our vision while staying within in our budget. He was prompt, courteous, and professional through the entire process. He always made him self available to consult on ideas and approaches for completing the work. Jason and his team always left the worksite in good order. I would highly recommend Blue Sky for all of you out there who are looking for high end custom solution on a shoestring budget and/or a partner who can support and collaborate with you on projects you do yourself! Five Stars to Blue Sky!!!

I hired Jason for a complete mstr bath reno in the fall '13. My wife and I had just closed on a 20yr old house that we had thought needed a little updating. Jason met with me in the evening hours several times prior to closing to go over design and layout possibilities for the room. He gave me multiple plans at different pricing levels that allowed me to decide how far I wanted to go with the reno. Being cost conscious due to the realization of the down payment and closing costs that were about to hit our savings, Jason worked with me and allowed me to do some of the more laborious work to fit the plan into our budget. Materials did go over the original allowance by a bit but that is always to be expected when you are getting into a project like this. Jason did communicate necessary changes as they arose just as I had asked him to do throughout the reno. He always offered his opinion on the quality of chosen materials to be sure we we going to be happy with the final project. Jason gave me an estimated time frame for completion and actually completed the work within it. It is always a gamble hiring a contractor to complete work within given time frame especially around the Holidays. The quality of his craftsmanship was good: framing, drywall, tile (floor and wall), large shower, glass shower door, and electrical. Jason had also exceeded my expectations when he took the time to help me out on his time with other reno projects that I was personally working on throughout the house. He genuinely seemed to care that I was doing things right and even lent me a few tools to use so that I wouldn't need to buy/rent them. Overall, we were very happy with the way the bathroom had turned out. I would, and already have, recommend hiring Jason/Blue Sky for your next project!

Jason has done a fabulous job in my home! He gave 2 of my bathrooms a facelift, involving new flooring, new vanity, new light fixtures, etc. He provided valuable advice and suggestions throughout the process - and he even went to stores with me to help me pick out fixtures, flooring, etc. His consulting and his work are excellent. In addition to the bathrooms, he also fixed wood trim in the doorway leading to my back yard...He offered suggestions about cost-effective ways of fixing this, and he made it look even better than it did originally. He went above and beyond and added a decorative trim at the top of the doorway, which greatly enhanced the appearance of my home. His prices are very fair -- and he even did some work in a third bathroom for free. He cares a lot about making his customers happy, and that makes him very good at what he does. I very highly recommend Jason for any home renovation project.

Jason remodeled our basement and bathroom. .He did a wonderful job and we were extremely pleased. He has a lot of creative and modern ideas and is willing to let you do some of the work to keep the costs down. He had a really cool idea to put strips of plywood up on our basement ceiling instead of the traditional dropped ceiling and he had us paint all the duct work copper and the pipes glossy black, so when the wood was up you can see everything. It looks very cool! I think the biggest bonus with Jason is his artistry! He always showed up when he said he would and always started the day out early. I am planning on having Jason remodel my kitchen next! I would definitely recommend Blue Sky Construction to any one! I am a realtor with Coldwell Banker and I have given his card out to my clients also! You will not be disappointed if you go with Blue Sky Construction!
