  T-Square Custom Remodeling and framing

  The first time T-Square did work in my home was about 3 years ago.  He  showed up with his guys prepped the area where they were going to work. covered everything with plastic and started working.  Although we had already signed an agreement They worked an entire day before he came to me for the down payment we had agreed on. The only days they did not show up were days that he advised me in advance that for some reason or other they would not be there that day. I was comfortable with that. When the job was done. I felt like I had cheated them. They went way beyond the call of duty to make sure I was happy and I can be pretty annoying when I'm not happy.  I don't remember a lot of the other details but I am still enjoying my sun room today. He has gotten a little more busy I guess since then.  It's harder to get him and his prices have increased but I'm always satisfied with the work.

  Drennen Construction

  We had to take the owner to arbitration and won our claim and it was upheld by a county court judge.  The business was found liable for damages, faulty and poor quality workmanship. Bad staining of trim, improper angles cut on trims.
  Our basement toilet that was installed during the remodel flooded twice due to faulty inhalation and damaged the new construction while still working upstairs on the kitchen.  Repairs/ replacements were not completed or made correctly. Paint and trims were poor quality and incomplete. Deck was demolished for repair of the basement wall for leaking, when simple fixes didn't work. a roofing grade seal coating was painted to the inside of the basement wall. Valuable shrubs that were to be saved for landscaping around the new deck were improperly translated and died.
  The kitchen remodel - A second contractor hired to fix and finish the job uncovered serious mistakes and safety hazards
  my wall cabinets were installed upside down, meaning I either had to live with them or order new ones, my large pantry cabinet was damaged and the back was pulling off, My refrigerator was damaged being moved in to the home. the Hardy board sub floor was not installed as the manufacturer outlines. Floor tile was missing from the job site. A building codes inspector found fault with the wiring which was placed under a sink instead of on the opposite side of a wall. The microwave fan was not directed into the vent duct and was blowing back into my kitchen. After removing the cabinets it was found that there was no insulation put into my kitchen walls which are exterior walls. No wonder food was freezing in the cabinets and my energy bill increased. A patio door was removed on an adjoining wall and a window was never installed as agreed upon. After the patio was removed the framing in of the walls was not sanded or primed before they painted so you could easily see the outline of the door. there was paint on my ceiling fans and skylights. The recessed ceiling was not leveled with the hall way and was improperly framed and secured which made it crack continuously until done properly.
  Here is the most disturbing!! Live uncapped wires were found in the ceiling of the hall that led to my children's rooms right next to where the smoke alarm wires hung out but was never put back up. Live uncapped exposed wires were also found wound up and placed behind a 2x4 next to our back door ( ie an exit rout). A spark in either location could have killed or caused serious injury to my family. I was prepared for a few months of construction and inconvenience but my children had to endure the most chaos and it lasted for an entire year as we could not begin to make repairs until arbitration was complete. The garage, yard, and in the home was riddled with construction debris, razor blades, nails, contractor tools, boards, and electrical wires, not to mention the plaster dust everywhere and my daughter has bad allergies, my mother has a walker and could barely get around when she came to visit.
  Drennen Construction workers didn't always show up and when they did the owner rarely came over unless it was to collect money or to listen to complaints we continuously made.  I will never recomend this company no matter how small the job. It was one of the worst experiences of our lives and the fear that it could have been worse continues to haunt me.

  BRUCKER'S HOME IMPROVEMENT

  It came out really nice. I used an old vanity with a dark walnut color and a cream Corian counter top from a local salvage store and Scott found an old door original to the house in the basement and used it as the bathroom door.

  BRUCKER'S HOME IMPROVEMENT

  I was extremely pleased with the service from Brucker's. One night I mentioned to a friend that the shady roofers employed the previous owners of my house replaced the entire roof, but neglected to replace the damaged flashing around the chimney, and now this area would leak during heavy rains. He passed my information onto Keith Bruckner (owner) and I was contacted the following day. A few days later Keith provided me an estimate of $650-$750 complete with cell phone photos of the damaged flashing.
  I attempted to get other estimates to no avail, and hired Bruckner's. Despite having a number of jobs, they squeezed me in 3 days later. Keith stopped by several times to check on the progress and there was no debris left behind after the project was completed. I cannot comment on the price as I had no other estimates to compare it to; however, I was impressed by the communication and work and have since recommended them to friends.
  Regarding payment, it would be great if they accepted credit cards for ease of payment, but I understand that it is quite costly for small businesses. I was concerned when they were able to begin much earlier than expected as I needed to transfer some money between accounts (requiring several business days). Fortunately Keith understood and I was able to pay him once the transfer had posted. The team at Brucker's is honest and hard working, I will absolutely use them in the future.

  Foley Builders Inc

  Overall the project was fast and easy.  Other companies were going to rip out the entire wall.   Foley handled it from the outside.  Took off siding and repaired what was needed.  No mess on the inside at all.

  BRUCKER'S HOME IMPROVEMENT

  He had a really professional attitude. He gave me some referrals from past jobs that he did. He recommended that I meet with the code enforcement to make sure what I wanted to do what within code. He really was looking out for his customers.
