I was very apprehensive "shopping" for a general contractor I could trust and depend on to build my new basement bathroom. Doing my homework, I contacted several builders, checked State licenses, and read hundreds of reviews. After carefully analyzing all the facts, I felt Sterling Works was by far the best choice for the job.
Wow! I was so right picking Philip Trapkin and his excellent team. From the first day until the job was completed, Philip was on site daily checking on the progress of the project. He was very "hands on" making sure my wife and I were satisfied through each phase of construction.
The finished product is fantastic! I had dreamed of adding this much needed bathroom for many, many years.
My only regret is not finding this company sooner. For the best quality and outstanding service, I highly recommend Sterling Works!

Our experience with Sterling Works in remodeling and updating our bathrooms was thoroughly positive.
Philip provided valuable advice and helpful suggestions about the project. He pointed us toward the suppliers we needed to contact and gave clear, careful instructions about what we should get and how we should proceed.
He was resourceful in helping us generate ideas about what we wanted and in steering us toward what was feasible. He was also punctual in his meetings with us, as were his employees who did the work. What he said he would do, he did.
His employees did great work. They were professional, courteous, and skillful in their work; no, more than skillful, they were artistic craftsmen who took pride in producing aesthetically pleasing work. They came and left on time, treated our house and furnishings with respect, properly disposed of the old materials and fittings, and created minimal intrusion while they were here.
We are very pleased with Philip and the folks who work with him at Sterling Works.

We hired Sterling Works to do a major renovation and upgrade to our Brookhaven home's kitchen.
Philip worked with us, listened carefully and added some great ideas. His workers were polite, conscientious and skilled. We never worried about having to be at home to oversee anyone. A few very minor surprises were quickly taken care of at no extra cost and the final result is wonderful.
We're delighted with Sterling Works and have already begun recommending them to others!

We hired Sterling Works to completely gut our old kitchen and refinish the original hardwood floors in our 1920's home. We could not be more thrilled at the end result. Philip and Tim truly listened to what I wanted in my kitchen and wow, did they deliver. We work out of our home so someone was here most of the time. Everyone on Philips team was so conscientious and the work is meticulous. Working with Philip was a pleasure and he made keeping track of the $ easy. We are planning to use Sterling Works again for the next project.

Philip was professional from beginning to end. He worked with us on schedule and was very patient with any changes. He made sure everything was to our satisfaction and reacted promptly when there were questions or issues. In the end the work was exceptional and we would highly recommend Sterling.

We hired Sterling Works to complete the renovation aspect of our kitchen. They did exactly what we asked and were very accommodating from start to finish. They understood our budget and were willing to exclude scope that we could do ourselves (ie, painting, backsplash, etc). They were always at the house when they said they'd be and completed the project when they said they would be done. And, to echo what others wrote, Sterling Works' price is very good, especially for the level of service you will receive.

My wife and I have hired Sterling Works for numerous projects over the years, including a garage/recreation room remodel, main house general repairs and a complete bathroom remodel. The engineering skill they brought to fixing our garage was remarkable, saving a complete demo and re-build with their steel reinforcements and new drainage remedies. The before and after photos don't do the space justice. Every time we have called on them we have been pleased with the outcome and plan on hiring them again as new projects unfold. We found Philip Trapkin and his crews to be reliable and courteous, in stark contrast to some previous contractors we had hired. Whenever I am asked for a referral for a quality general contractor and designer, I am glad to give out their name. Two thumbs up!

I hired Sterling Works to do a remodel of my kitchen and building a closet space where a bedroom used to be. They were extremely organized and detailed. Phil Trapkin (the owner) kept me appraised of any changes to the original proposal. The price was very fair, and the work outstanding. I would highly recommend this company.

After our first meeting with Philip Trapkin of Sterling Works, we knew that we wanted him to be the builder for our home expansion project, as he took the time to study our plans and current structure and get familiar with our project at that early juncture even before we had formally named him as our contractor. As the project proceeded, Philip’s accessibility and personable nature helped to make the construction process run smoothly for all of us (during what is always a hectic and stressful period for a displaced homeowner). Philip and his crew’s workmanship and attention to detail became evident as our new addition took shape. But what has impressed me the most in hindsight was the adherence to the schedule we were promised at the beginning of the job. We were given an estimate of six month from the time that work began, and even with the expected frantic rush of the final two months of construction (and some unexpected weather delays) we were able to move into our home at the six month mark. In my business, I deal with commercial contractors all the time and see how construction schedules are rarely met even in the best of circumstances. For our project, Sterling Works worked tirelessly to finish at the promised time.
