Testimonials
When we were first starting out with our new construction plan, it was overwhelming. Our architect recommended we interview Twice as Nice as they had done nice work for his other clients. We had interviewed other General Contractors, but when we interviewed Lou Caliendo, we immediatety felt “at ease.” The job suddenly didn’t feel as overwelming, and we were able to get excited. Lou was very “hands on” and patient, even when I made changes to the plan. He also made me feel that any vision we had was possible! I love our new family room extension and new gourmet kitchen. I’ve brought him back several times for other work, and recommended him for our community library project, which came out beautifully. I would recommend Lou and his crew to anyone looking to do an extension or any type of renovation or building project.

I had a few contractors bid on my job to completely gut and renovate my basement, as well as renovate my fireplace with stone ledger. I had contractors whom ive used before bid on the job, as well as contractors from Angies List that had high reviews. About three years ago I had some renovations done to my house and Lou (the owner of Twice as Nice) was one of the contractors bidding on the job. He was highly recommended by my architect at the time. I ended up using a family member for the job under pressure from my inlaws ( i also ended up firing that family member off the job). So this time around I called Lou again to bid on the job. Lou is very punctual – he is always on time and he delivered his bid on time. His price was very reasonable – not the cheapest, not the most expensive. I ended up going with Lou because of his punctuality and on recommendation from my architect. I also needed the job to start ASAP since my wife was pregnant with our second child and due in 6 weeks. Lou said he could finish the job in 4 weeks and he stuck to that timeline. From start to finish he and his workers and subs came on time every morning, were respectful and cleaned up as best as they could every day. He was very accesible via and phone, email and text and was responsive (usually within the hour). He was organized and we did not experience any delays due to ordering issues. In the past, one of the worst issues i faced with contractors (both in the residential and commercail setting) was organization and that almost always someone forgot to order something and then we would have to wait long lead times. Also, he was very organized when it came to having his electricians, plumbers, etc, do their work on the project. There was absolutely no down time becaue of these things. In the end, I was very happy with the price, the work, and service, and that’s alot coming from me. Highly recommended.

After suffering the devastating loss of everything in our home due to a fire, we had to find a reputable contractor to rebuild our home. After shopping around, we chose Twice As Nice. They did a wonderful job! We were so pleased with the quality of their work. They were very diligent and dependable and honest with us from start to finish. We would gladly recommend Twice As Nice to our friends and family and anyone who is in need of a contractor who will do an outstanding job.

I had a large addition built onto my house by “Twice As Nice” about a year ago. I was very pleased with the performance of the crew as to the attention to detail and following the architectural plans, especially since the existing structure was 67 years old. As everyone knows, problems can be encountered when dealing with older houses, which occurred during my construction. Any difficulty was met with the utmost professionalism by Lou and all members of the crew, as well as keeping me informed as to how things would be handled and solved. I never felt left out of the process and was treated with respect by everyone. The house was transformed into a beautiful home. Having been so pleased with the work, I rehired Lou this year to finish a section of my basement, which is now a wonderful recreation room for my family. The title of the company expresses exactly how I now perceive my home: it’s definitely “Twice As Nice”!
