Our experience with Sciuga was very positive. They built us a beautiful house and it is very well constructed, and yet very affordable. I'm an engineer and I watched the process closely. Sciuga used quality materials and his subs did great work. Sal is an excellent problem solver and a very straight shooter. Any issues that came up, he dealt with promptly. We are extremely pleased with the results!

Sciuga Custom Builders built us a great home in Howlett Hill Meadows. Dana Sciuga Bakowski worked out very well with my wife and I in all of the selections process. Sal Sciuga made all of the great changes and suggestions to make our home even better then we had expected. Not only do I still sell Sciuga Builders homes, my wife and I still live in a Sciuga built home and love it.... Betty and I would seriously consider having Sciuga Custom Builders build for us again.

Report
Probably one of the lowest quality builders in the Syracuse area!! Always goes with the lowest bidders and bad quality sub contractors and dont do any work themselves. Every customer I have ever spoken to is so upset with their home they almost break down in tears with the quality of their home and the issues are never resolved correctly and at times made even worse. Some of the things Ive seen done on these homes were put together so poorly it would give me a headache just looking at it. You would be much better off spending a few extra dollars and going with an Eldan Home or a Mark Antony
