Eric has done several jobs at our condominium. Trustworthy, reliable, and a real professional, Eric delivers what he promises. His advice and knowledge is valuable. He works closely with the client and does not go beyond the agreed budget which is rare nowadays. He renovated a kitchen; he installed new windows and replaced all the heaters. These are some of the major jobs that he has done for us. I recommend Eric highly without reservations.

I would not use any other contractor. Eric did a fabulous job on my kitchen renovation, and I asked him to help out with other projects such as installing new heaters and windows in my pre-war condo. During each renovation, I gave Eric the combination to the lockbox, and he could enter at will. He listens to his customer's needs, and he will tell you what can be done within your budget. He is honest and dependable.

'Front to Back Home Improvements ' built my sunroom in the fall of 2010. It is a very substantial addition which required architectural design, permits, roof work, sky light, foundation, framing, insulation, electrical, finishing, a tile floor, and energy efficient windows.
I found Eric to be easy to work with, always first understanding what it was that I wanted. He is dependable and trustworthy as a general contractor. During this project he made sure all of his subcontractors were likewise. Things were done for the most part on time (some weather related delays) and NEATLY which is important to me.
It turned out just how I wanted it !! The enjoyment I get out of this addition is way more than the fair price I paid for it !!
Whenever I need to improve anything on my house I call 'Front To Back' and get a timely response as well as a job well done.Marie P.

Eric has been our Go-To-Guy in all forms of home renovation and repair for many years and two homes. Not only has he done excellent work on all the jobs I've requested, he spent quite a bit of time researching products for other "dream projects" of mine to let me know if they were affordable. He has been consistently flexible with his time and generous with his talent. I would recommend him to anyone looking not just for a good contractor, but a good reliable person.

Eric and his associates at Front to Back have been a great help to us as owners of a very unique home with lots of quirks and issues. (Lucky us!) For several years now, Eric has been our primary "go-to" guy for home repair and remodeling work. From emergency jobs ("Help! The skylights are leaking in the rain!"), to home improvement and custom work ("Hey, Eric, we have this idea for an old, glass-paned door we inherited, can we make a place for it to go HERE?" and, "We don't really need them, but wouldn't it look neat if we put up some old, distressed-looking wooden support beams up there in the ceiling?"), to every day repairs ("Uh, Eric, we have no hot water all of a sudden...) Eric has helped us!
His talents as craftsman and fix-it wizard aside, Eric is a genuinely all-around nice guy. He's friendly, personable, courteous, honest and very hard-working. He's also full of great ideas, creative solutions, and patiently takes the time to explain the situation at hand and goes over all the possible options with you.
We would recommend him without question.Joe & Debi W.

Eric is dependable and meticulous in his work. My husband and I have worked for several years with him for small and larger home projects, and he always takes the stress out of the process, from start to finish. We feel lucky to have found such a good contractor.

I have used Front to Back Several time over the past few years. This is a list of the jobs I have had Front to Back perform for me:
1) Porcelain Tile installation, foyer and kitchen.
2) Drywall repair (several times)
3) Toilet Installation
4) Window screen replacement
5) Carpet Installation
6) Hardwood floor installation
I found Front to back on Craigs list. After interviewing several contractors to install tile in my foyer and kitchen, Eric struck me as very honest and fair. He arrived when he said he would and he was very communicative.
Each time I have worked with Front to back, I have been pleased. They show up when they say, (or they call ahead if need be) I have no problem letting Eric know where my hidden key is to my house. All of their work is done very well.
One day when Eric was over my house replacing my screens while I was at a funeral out of state, Eric noticed that my upstairs toilet was leaking from a botched repair I had done 10 years earlier. Eric took it upon himself to stop the leak, get the water cleaned up. I eventually decided to have Eric replace the toilet and have him do some drywall repair that was damaged by the leak.Joe K.

I had Eric and his team out the week of June 25th to do a shower re-model in our house that involved removing and installing new tile, along with a new shower diverter, a corner shelf for the shower, and repainting the bathroom. From the first message he sent me when I reached out about an estimate, he was very courteous and professional. He was quick with his responses and returning calls. He was very dependable and punctual. His suggestions as well as helpful information was greatly appreciated. When he came to redo the bathroom, he was on time, dependable, professional, and efficient. He does great work and provides a great product. I will call him first for any future home remodels.

Found Eric by searching on line for a handyman/contractor, to make necessary repairs and upgrade my bathroom. From the very first message that I left him and a couple of other contractors he was the only one that responded within 24 hours and the only one with the most reasonable estimate to fill my budget. I am very glad that I chose Eric, he is very reliable easy going person very willing to please me as his customer, and did a wonderful job. His partner Joe, was also very good, reliable and a very nice person/contractor too. I know that they worked here in my home close to a month and I even enjoyed their company. I definitely will recommend Front to Back Home Improvements (Eric) to my friends and for my future home repairs. Thank -you Eric, it has been a pleasure.

Eric and his team were very professional and very easy to work with. We lived in our home the entire time the second story addition was being built, and had no issues. Eric did a great job of keeping us informed along every step of the way, especially as to any issues which cropped up (as invariably will happen) and did a good job of presenting us with our options, explaining things to use, and keeping us on task. He was patient with us when we delayed in making decisions, or changed our minds. The work was completed in a timely manner and came in right around the estimate Eric had given us at the onset. Eric's pricing was competitive, not the cheapest but not the most expensive either, and we definitely feel that we received quality work and materials for what we paid. We've been living/using our new space for about 3 months now and are so pleased with it. Highly highly recommend!

They are on time and did a great job. They took the additional step of making sure the fan was operating properly before leaving the site. This is a terrific company with which to work. We recommend them most highly.
Helen K.
We interviewed many contractors over a two year period and were always disappointed with the customer service aspect and for several of those companies, their pricing was outrageous for what we were looking to do. Eric made me feel comfortable from the first phone call. His staff was very professional and efficient. Anything we had a problem with was taken care of without any problem. I would certainly use Front to Back contractors again and would recommend them to family and friends.
Peggy S.
Let me begin by saying that I never met Eric from Front to Back before the conception of our home project. I interviewed four contractors for this project. Eric's pricing was very competitive, not the cheapest but in my opinion, best bang for the buck. Aside from the usual construction delays, the project went off without a hitch. Each facet of the project was performed with the utmost quality and eye for detail as you could ever expect. From the foundation to the final detail checklist. Eric is very friendly and knowledgeable. He kept us informed throughout the job, listened to our wants and needs, and helped us design the home we always hoped for. If you select Front to Back contractors, you will NOT be disappointed.
Thomas H.
Eric renovated my family room ceiling. Removed tiles added new ceiling with recessed lighting. Replaced electrical outlets in kitchen along with lighting and painted 7 rooms and 2 stairwells. All work was completed within given time frame. All areas cleaned up at end of day. I highly recommend him and have already recommended his services to others
Meg J.
I had multiple projects that were completed in one day, including plumbing, electrical, and carpentry. The workmanship and attention to detail of each project was impressive. They also made sure everything was working properly and clean before leaving. I am very pleased with their work and will definitely use them again.
Jenny R.
They were always on time and very neat and clean, after each day of work you did not even notice that they were there. They left the area so clean, this was important to us. Also, they were great at making suggestions on design and colors when planning certain parts of the project. They were also very patient and understanding when we made changes mid project. You'll love these guys.
Larry O.
Complete down to the studs bathroom remodeling. We are very happy with the project one year later. The tile work, cabinetry, lights, and all the details came together very well. Eric was neat and organized and responsive to all questions and considerations.
Charlie K.
Jobs were done quickly and at a fair price. Defiantly would recommend this company to others.
Richard R.
I have used Back to Front for multiple jobs - everything from minor household repairs to providing all of the repairs required following damage to our second home during Hurricane Sandy. Eric has always been extremely responsive and responsible. He helped me prepare my home for resale, quickly providing the repairs needed based upon the home inspection in record time. He arrives when he says that he will and provides top quality work. Even the various guys that he has brought along to help him with the big jobs have been extraordinarily courteous, friendly and have gone out of their way to help, going so far as picking up the mail off of the floor every day and arranging it in a neat pile, and working hard to befriend my two anxiety-ridden dogs! I immediately recommend Back to Front to all of my friends whenever they need any type of work done - I can't recommend them highly enough.
Terri O.
I used Front to Back for two bathroom renovations as well as other misc. updating for two properties. I was happy with the quality of their work and value. I would not hesitate to use them again for my next project.
Joe B.
This company is professional and efficient, and provides high quality work. Eric goes above and beyond by helping us with other things that pop up with the house, unrelated to the addition his company was putting on. This company did great work in a timely manner, keeping us in the loop the whole time; they always cleaned up after each phase of the project, and the end result is beautiful.
