"I chose another contractor because of price. I experienced extended job delays because contractor did not receive delivery of key plumbing and cabinet pieces in a timely manor. Contractor had to tear out and replace several scopes because of poor workmanship. Instead of looking me in the face and telling me certain parts of the job would be free of additional charge because, "we're on the job anyway," he should have told me he could do them for an additional charge, then get them DONE! Because he failed in this, many times I had to almost shove the contract in his face to prove he agreed to perform one task or another.
This happened with both the plumbing and the cabinet prices as he priced the delivered products less than the suppliers charged which required me to get significantly involved in the actual project execution. because of the pricing problem the delivery of key products was significantly delayed.
As of this writing the drama continues since the cabinets have not yet been installed and I retain a significant partition of the contractor's labor fee to insure either his full compliance or the cost of bringing in another contractor to finish the job as originally intended
Do's and 'ts:
DO:
Outline item by item what the contractor is to perform frr the price agreed. Both you and the contractor initial this list and attach it to the contract. If possible, attach a hard-lined plan of the proposed work including special details if necessary.
Write down every appliance, fixture, cabinet (with correct stock numbers), etc the contractor is to order on your behalf. Include also, the price you will pay for each including tax and delivery. Then secure definite delivery dates from the respective suppliers. Schedule the construction start to coincide with the CONFIRMED delivery date of the key items that can hold up construction.
Obtain paid invoices from all suppliers who provided items or subcontractors who provide services to the job through you contractor - this reduces any risk of construction liens after the job is completed.
Print out detailed invoices to accompany every payment made to or on behalf of your contractor this includes all building supplies, progress payments, changer orders or subcontractor payments.
Carefully inspect product deliveries, the performance of all constructions services, installations and so forth as they occur and insist that anything not in sync with your agreement or expectations is immediately corrected. This reduces the chances of incurring additional costs to tear out an correct work regardless of who pays for it.
In the event of change orders, carefully review with your contractor the reason for the CO and agree only when you become completely satisfied of its necessity. However, always negotiate the price of the CO just as you did the original contract.
Always remain civil and patient. Rarely do construction jobs go perfectly. Problems occur for three reason, your fault, his fault or a combination thereof. Remain analytical and removed from the problem and force yourself to admit your fault for the situation when it is indeed your fault... it happens
My last DO. Always provide a 10% contingency in your personal construction budget to cover the unforeseen costs that can pop up during even a seemingly job
'TS:
don't Sign a hand written contract under any circumstances. Make sure the contract is typed and clearly describes exactly what you want done and how... This may take several meetings with the contractor to make sure EVERYTHING is covered and correctly priced. This protects you from unnecessary and costly change orders in the future.
don't Pay the entire contract fee until the project is completed exactly to you expectation and in accordance with the terms of the contract. Always retain 15% of any amount due the contractor to be paid at the end of the project when all punch list items are resolved and the Contractor delivers an executed and notarized waiver that holds you harmless in the event a subcontractor or supplier liens the property for non-payment. This relates to point 3 above.
don't prepay. if at all possible only pay your contractor for items purchased on you behalf when those services or items are delivered to the job site with a paid invoice. If this is not possible pay only a portion of the cost, retaining the balance for delivery and the paid invoice.
don't allow the contractor to guide perspective clients though your job site. Two reasons: 1. the job is not finished and you don't know if your satisfied; 2. Today, its wiser not to trust. During most construction jobs, the job site is accessible to many workers, etc. who do not respect your security as you do. Limit the strangers you allow into your house regardless of who invites them. The smaller you keep the circle of "visitors" the more you secure you keep you home during construction."

" is a true professional. His price is fair - even when he discovered the additional repair work, he worked with us to make sure we understood without a shadow of a doubt where the additional cost was going. He always showed up on time, worked all day, and delivered impeccable results. He went above and beyond (brought in our mail while we were out of town, took down our trash). He stuck to his comittment regarding time line. I would not only trust with my home repairs/renovations, I would trust him with all I have. From somebody who has worked with multiple contractors, is a cut above - always responsive, always fair, always friendly. My wife and I can't recommend highly enough."

" Spix is the owner. The deck is really elevated. It was leaking underneath it, which came to the main section of the house. It was raining down the walls. They took everything off. They removed the tile, they took down banisters and columns, and they took the decking down underneath it. They installed under-roof systems and replaced something on it. They took the ceiling down on the main floor and did receiling on that with custom board and painted it. They did the work for a month. It was a huge project. It cost me about $14000 for the job. It is a 360 square feet deck. The price was not unreasonable for the size of the project. They were great. I am planning to use them for a kitchen renovation. They do everything. This deck has been the deck from hell. I have been trying to fix it for many years now. They were the first company to figure out how to fix it. They are smart, pleasant, and organized. They work by themselves. The contractor and the workers come out and they know what to do. They do the work and leave. They are clean. I cannot say enough good things about them. I thought they were terrific. They can diagnose the project. They know exactly how to make it happen. It really works. They are always right. I will use them again in the future without a doubt. "

"I am talking to them and am going to use them but I haven't used them yet. I like him a lot and he is a very nice man. He is very responsive. I enjoy talking with him and I feel that he really knows what he is talking about. I don't know about his work yet. "

"They are pretty much working on our house every day. They will be here for a while because there is a lot of work to be done. Their price is reasonable and the job is going well. They are willing to listen to us and adjust if we don't like something. They have listened to us in general. The quality of their work has been excellent. They are punctual and responsive."

"Amazing!!! A little nervous about all this renovation in the beginning but I met with and we went over the work to be performed. He told me he would send an Estimate that evening & did!! This was an impressive start! We set a date to start and and his workers came prepared and were very careful to keep the surroundings as clean as possible. The job finished on schedule with long hours in between. They left the job as when they arrived, in pristine condition! Very impressed with this company and the price for this hard work was reasonable!. Nice to have found a company you can count on!!! Townhouse like brand new!!! Highly recommend this company to anyone that's looking for professional quality work!"

"EXCELLENT all the way around. Not the lowest bidder, but we felt it was the best design and the cost was in our budget. We worked primarily with D' on the design and as project manager. The job came out great, was completed without additional costs or change orders and on projected time schedule. We have worked with many contractors over the years and these guys were the best by far. They took great pride in their work and took the time to work with us on the design and the materials. They helped us select materials as sales reps for certain lines but also helped us select materials over the internet as we like to shop for deals on the web. They came out twice to fix the drywalling to make it perfect and even came back to do it once after a coat of paint was put on in one bathroom as they didn't like the way it looked the first time. was also a great help in the design process and project management.
The cost to complete was very very competitive. There were 2 other companies who bid $20,000 to $30,000 more for job and said it could not be done for less, at least not well. THEY WERE WRONG. Thanks to !"

" has done jobs large and small for us 15+ years. Everything was done to our complete satisfaction, on time and within his estimate. The kitchen enlargement included tearing out the original back wall of the house, extending the original floor area, installing new sinks and cabinets, relocating appliances, and refinishing existing hardwood flooring to match new flooring in the addition. Everything was done on time, as promised, and to our complete satisfaction. We have received many compliments on that kitchen rebuild. and his subs set a high standard of professionalism, and we have no reservation in recommending him for such work."

"It started out well - was very responsive in setting up an appointment and showing up on time. He spent adequate time talking over the project with me including finishes, the level of quality of his sub-contractors, etc. I was told it would take about 1 1/2 weeks to get back with a quote which was completely expected...
Then, I didn't hear from him for almost 3 weeks as he did not respond to my emails. When I finally contacted him through his office he explained that he had been sick for an extended period of time and that is why I didn't hear from him. (Could someone in the office not have read his emails and given me a heads-up if that was the case?) He said I should expect a quote in the next few days. Instead of a quote I got an email saying he had just gotten a couple of 'big jobs' and didn't have time for my job. After further probing I got what his quote would have been ($$$ - he said that he wouldn't be the cheapest nor the most expensive, but I have to believe he is closer to expensive) and a recommendation of another company that might be able to fit in my 'small' job.
From reading other reviews my expectations were definitely higher than what actually occurred. Oh well."

"The project was completed after complications with county permitting which delayed the project. The dry below systems have leaked badly since day one. After more that a year later, and several visits from the contractor, the dry below systems still leak badly to the point that I'm getting ready to hire another contractor to fix the problem. don't use this contractor."
