We have employed Petra General Services to do several projects at our cottage in Clayton including building and installing wooden steps down to our dock, constructing a winding concrete walkway from the driveway to our cottage, and repairing our sun porch. The latter involved lifting and removing our Jalousie windows and replacing them without breakage.Jeff and his workers have been professional, knowledgeable about each project, trustworthy, and easy to work with. Each project was completed in a timely manner and we were apprised of the progress until completion. We will gladly have Petra General Services for future projects and highly recommend them.

Jeff built a new landing and front stairs for our home. He is exceptionally responsive and proactive in his communication. We didn't have to ask him for an update on status even once!When we were planning the project, he offered suggestions but was flexible with our ideas and feedback as well. Working together, we came up with a plan that turned out better than we both expected. We also were working under a tight timeline, and Jeff was realistic about his availability and even completed the job before our deadline.His prices may not be the cheapest,but in this case we got what we paid for....very high quality work and attention to detail!Services: Deck construction, Porch construction, Concrete pouring

Due to previous negative experiences with other contractors, I was reluctant to place my trust in someone new. From the very beginning, Jeff and his team were kind, courteous, respectful and professional. I appreciated being kept informed throughout the entire process and their prompt response to texts. Jeff and his team stepped in to provide 3 major necessary renovations to my home in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Jeff and his team for their competency and workmanship.

Working with Jeff was a fantastic experience! He was very diligent, on-time and cooperative with the many curve balls that came up during our project together! He is very knowledgeable and made my place look spectacular! He installed new flooring, renovated my bathroom (new walls and everything!), installed new doors and made the process seamless! 10/10 recommend! Works very quick!!Service: Wood floor installation

I don’t know where to begin and I don’t know if I have enough space to state all of the positives of dealing with this company.My telephone contact with Jeff put me at ease, letting me know I connected with the right contractor. A few hours later Eric showed up and he too put me at ease letting me know they could repair damage that had happened. Eric, Damir & Anthony along with Jeff became my Angels. The job they did is above excellent, their attention to detail is above what most would do. The friendliness, kindness, professionalism and their ability to make a job fun was well beyond what I had expected. I could go on and on but I think anyone reading this review would be able to grasp how pleased I am. When was the last time you hired a contractor and you all stated “I don’t want this job to end?” IMPRESSIVE, this group is just impressive. Do yourself a favor, look no more but dial the number to hire this team…guarantee you will not be disappointedFrom my heart, I thank each and everyone of you.Kathy MorrisonService: General construction

Jeff is not only a great carpenter, he's also a great person. He's very creative at solving problems and always keeps to the budget. He rebuilt my deck and his solutions for getting around some issues were perfect. He is very prompt and always shows when he says and always puts in a full day of not a little more.Jeff is a true professional and had an uncanny ability to understand what you're trying to do and had some wonderful ideas for getting the job done on time and on budget.I expect to hire Jeff for more projects.

Would give no stars if able. I don't recommend this company at all was late on first meet up. Didn't do all the work that was listed on the invoice, which I asked about. Asked for a detailed bill being I supplied all materials was told no by the owner that I couldn't have a detailed bill. They had to refund me for the electrician because he was not reliable. The owner did what he wanted and didn't listen to me on what we had originally agreed on to be done. Had to come back out because the flooring wasn't completely done. It has been a whole mess with this company plus the prices are way to high compared to other companies that do better work in my opinion.

Jeff built me a shelter for my horse. The construction is beautiful - no detail left undone. Its sturdy and will keep my horse (and his friends) dry and out of the wind this winter, and cool and shady next summer. Jeff is great to work with - res ponsive, good communication, and really wants to make sure your project is exactly how you want it. I recommend his work to anyone, and expect I will hire him for any future horse or home jobs I have.Service: General construction

Jeff redid our flooring and installation of a Murphy Bed and it’s cabinets. The project came out better than I imagined. Jeff was reliable and respectful of social distancing precautions. I was comfortable being alone in the house with him and leaving him alone in the house. Without any hesitation I recommend Jeff Senecal’s Services. He is a true professional.

We hired Jeff to finish our bathroom in our 100 year old house. Needless to say, there were some unexpected surprises. Not only did he solve all of the problems, but he provided multiple solutions, an estimated time, and a price for each. He was very knowledgeable and provided his recommendations for each issue that arose. He finished the job on time and at the price that he quoted, even with the random issues that a 100 year old bathroom can present. I HIGHLY recommend Jeff due to his professional attitude, skilled work, and his genuine care for the homes he works in.

Jeff was amazing from start to finish! Each day Jeff would enter our home with a smile and a kind word. He was always on time, neat and very orderly with every project and process. I really appreciated how he would have several small projects going on at once and then somehow he would bring them all together like a chef making an entire meal and placing it on the table course by course. Jeff is a craftsman and artist. Our kitchen, bathrooms, hallways, living room and family rooms all look beautiful, neat and homey. Jeff re-insulated our home and now it is warm! Jeff had great ideas that were creative, artistic, functional and beautiful. Thank you Jeff for cleaning up at the end of every day. Thank you for keeping your eyes open to the possibilities that you uncovered and/or created in our home. You worked in the oldest house in Niskayuna and built it the newest and best kitchen in our price range. Thank you Jeff- we would recommend you whole heartedly. Anyone would be honored to have you bless their home with your artistry and workmanship.

Jeff Senecal Jr came out to my house to give us an estimate on a cabinet/counter install. We liked him right away, very friendly and seemed competent.He came out at the agreed upon date and began work. This is where it gets sticky, my house is old and about an inch out of level side to side. We already knew this and had discussed it at the consult. Jeff decided the best way to level out the difference was to over-shim the cabinets to a non-standard height without discussing it with the homeowners - one of which was home at the time.When I returned from work it was pretty obvious that the entire kitchen had been raised up and it does not look good. We called Jeff right away and he tried to blame my BF (who was home at the time) saying he approved the weird height, what my BF agreed to was shimming the cabinets level *as discussed at the consult* Jeff didn't feel the need to mention that he wanted to shim them 2 inches too high. Jeff was supposed to come back at 2pm the following day to finish the install and instead showed up at 10am unannounced, declared he will not be fixing the cabinet height and quit on the spot. He cashed the deposit check we had given him in good faith and has ignored our request to return the money.I reached out to Petra this morning and spoke to Jeff Sr, he informed me that he had no knowledge of the project, didn't know who I was and hung up on me, TWICE.I am now stuck with an unfinished, unacceptable kitchen, a company that doesn't stand behind it's work and either a whole lot of my time an effort to fix it myself or I can try to find a new, trustworthy contractor to do the job right.I'm very disappointed in this entire interaction, especially since we initially liked Jeff Jr so much.0/10 do not recommend.*Please note this review also appears under Petra Plumbing & Heating as Jeff told us he works with his father and Petra's website specifically mentions kitchen & bathroom renovations in their list of services provided.*

We had the pleasure of working with Jeff for a kitchen remodel. He is very professional and knowledgeable for being so young. He has a lot of great ideas and is a wonderful carpenter as he hand made our trim. He was very punctional and was quick to be on site during cabinet delivery. We are very pleased with how our kitchen came out. Will be reaching out again to replace the slider in the fall.

Extremely cordial and professional service which was responsive on very short notice on my wife’s Mom’s house.Sensing the urgency in my voice, Jeff Senecal responded the very next morning - rearranging his own vacation plans a bit as we were returning home before he would have normally returned.He quickly identified and resolved the issue to our total satisfaction.It’s an older house with a multitude of issues which he will be addressing directly with Mom upon his return.We found him by referral from a local hardware chain store. The agent shuffled through a huge stack of business cards. He quickly found the one he has used multiple times with great consumer satisfaction.He looked me straight in the eye and said this is the perfect choice. And he was 100% correct.A 5-star rating to be sure!Service: General repairs
