In The Press

The remarkable success of Skelly Build can be directly attributed to the exceptional teamwork and visionary leadership of our esteemed CEO, Diana Skellenger. Her unwavering dedication to achieving excellence and relentless pursuit of effective communication strategies have set us apart from our competitors, propelling our company to new heights. We are proud to acknowledge that the press has taken note of our outstanding achievements.

Some love from our clients

“We recently completed a whole-house renovation with Skelly Build and had a really positive experience from beginning to end. Their process was highly organized, communication was always timely and reliable, and the quality of the work was great. They were flexible along the way, helping to find solutions as unforeseen issues arose (as they're bound to when renovating a 1920s house) and accommodating of our requests for changes as we tweaked our plans in the process. Everyone on the team was professional, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure our project was completed exactly as we wanted. We highly recommend Skelly Build!”

Hunter1920s Home

“I renovated nearly my entire home with Skelly and had a great experience start to finish. Diana and crew were by far the most professional and responsive contractors I have worked with and the results show. It was extremely refreshing to work with someone that I felt was on my team and not constantly trying to cut corners. They often would come to me with ideas for improvements on the initial plans that didn't result in initial cost. Seems like common sense, but I've had too many experiences with people who don't want to think while they're on the job and instead rush to the finish line.

Project was finished on a reasonable time frame and there were no hidden costs. Tile work and carpentry in particular deserve an A+. Thanks Skelly!”
