  Cornerstone Homes LTD

  Everything went fine until we signed on the dotted line and construction was underway. At that point it was obvious that there were problems with the work done and the unwillingness by Mr. Oswald and his employees (subs) to fix these issues. We have had serious issues with every aspect of the build: CONCRETE - driveway uneven, front sidewalk damaged by sod install, cracks in sidewalk and basement, joint cuts ragged. No solution. Called cosmetic and/or not severe enough to fix by builder. ELECTRIC - continuous power outages from circuit breakers tripping for no reason. Cheap electric panel needs replaced at my cost. Gas Connection - wrong size valve (too large) installed causing appliance malfunctions. I could go on and on. They even painted the house the wrong color !

  Premier Construction Services

  We contracted with Premier Construction in early February to break ground on a 20x20 living room addition off our home.  Working with Adam was about as easy as it gets.  I contacted him after reading positive reviews on this site and we met for an estimate within 1 working day.  It took all other contractors nearly a week to respond to me.  After walking through a few different idea scenarios, Adam worked up a quote based off of what we wanted and kept it exactly in the budget number we needed it to be.  We had set aside $40K for the project but really didn't want to get all the way to that number (more like $35K-$38K) to leave room for the unforeseen costs that are always involved with projects of this nature.  We signed the agreement in mid-February 2014 and Adam and his crew broke ground the first week of March as promised.  Overall, the build process was very smooth.  The only hiccups to the 5 week timeline were changes that we wanted made to the original plan that extended the process further (upgraded doors/windows and heating a/c unit).  If we ever had any questions with the project, Adam would always return phone calls or texts within the hour.  I never felt out of the loop or out of touch with him throughout the process.  For a Type A personality like myself, that was probably the most important thing to me.  After the 5 week timeline we had a great new room that we're extremely happy with.  We also came in exactly at budget.  We are even having Adam come back to build a new deck off the addition this summer.  Overall, we are extremely pleased with the experience and would recommend Premier Construction to any family or friends in need of general contracting.

  ELSBERRY INSULATION INC

  Hired to install windows and assist in remodeling two bathrooms by tearing out bathtubs and inserting new ones. After agreeing to have him do the work he requested money up front so he could order the windows. I gave him the money and he said the windows would be in within two weeks. Then, after MUCH delay, and many excuses for why he couldn't come as scheduled, the day he finally showed up to start work on the remodeling of bathrooms he disappeared and left his workers stranded here. His workers said he had a "family emergency" and they would be back the next day to finish the work. They never came back, never called, Matt Elsberry never answered his phone. I hired a lawyer to attempted to get my money back or my windows, but after being released from Jail, Matt Elsberry was no where to be found. I am now out the money and am stuck with rotting windows. DO NOT HIRE HIM! I am not alone in his recent scams!!

  Steve Henning Construction

  Steve was extremely (no exaggeration!) responsive, reliable, honest and he does excellent work.  He returns your calls immediately and addresses all of your concerns with understanding.  He is professional and personable. Plus, he has a great sense of humor when your husband decides that a 3mm gap between a cabinet frame and the cabinet is not acceptable! Our kitchen is spectacular!

  Orton Homes

  They were prompt, responsive to our questions, and open to walking through the house to correct any issues we had. They did a nice job and were very professional. They even called me later to ask me if there were any issues to correct before the one year anniversary of the house being built.
