  Gil Thermes Fence Co Inc

  Not well. Man came out to measure, take order and give estimate. Elderly mother in law agreed to price and work to be performed. Bill came in the mail and it was 25% higher than agreed upon. We will not do business with an outfit that tries to take advantage of the elderly. Beware.

  Energy Wise Home Improvements

  Appointment was set and ���salesperson��� arrived on time. They talked up thwir business a lot and wanted us to finance. He asked several times about applying for credit and offered a multitude of savings for applying for credit NOW. WE WERE NOT INTERESTED IN APPLYING FOR CREDIT. when he shared his estimate is was high. Actually the highest of the seven we requested. But again, apply for credit now and get a discount, sign a contract to move forward now and get a discount. We are careful in our decision process and did not expect to make a decision without private discussion and comparisons with other estimates. Whence was all done because we didn���t move forward immediately, the estimate was invalid. I felt that the salesperson only cares about financing and checking credit. I am grateful that I dealt with other contractors prior to this company so I was prepared. I recommend not calling this company as they want to sign you up and not allow you to consider their offer. Overall summary: they are sales first service last, and strive to be the first and only people you talk to. They over inflate the first estimate they show you and then try to ���wow��� you with discounts if you sign with them on the spot. If you don���t sign the estimate is mute.

  Machen Home Improvements

  Jodie Machen is an outstanding workman and job manager. Our home is a old steel-baron era mansion from 1929. It needed a new roof and significant association flashing work. Jodie Machen was the perfectionist I was looking for. Not only did he do an immensely careful job, but he was thorough in his communication with me throughout, calling to touch base not just on formal aspects of the job, but also on convenience questions. His personal presence on the job made sure that his standards translated to his work crew, and together they presented a polite and professional group who I felt very happy to have around my little kids. I would unhesitatingly recommend this company! As an aside, Jodie Machen also fixed a difficult plumbing problem for us, so I suppose he would be great for other similar work as well!

  Machen Home Improvements

  Jodi was the only contractor to be prompt and detailed with his bid. All others talked vaguely about what they were going to do (maybe to add money later on?) or just didn't come back because maybe it was above their skill level? He was also the only one who could accurately describe the expected water damage and what could happen during the repair process. There were some bumps in the road with a worker of his who did not correctly rebuild some areas. Jodi recognized this before I had to say anything and he promised to make it right. Because of the rework he had to do, it added cost to the job but he did not pass those charges along to me. He stayed at his bid price, cutting into his own profits, and he did everything perfect. I'm not a professional carpenter but I can see good and bad work. Jodi explained everything he was doing and why. He even dealt with a couple of my special requests. He went above and beyond what most contractors would have done. He seems proud of the reputation of his business. The schedule went a bit longer than I would've liked but there some things that were out of our control that just happens when doing repairs like these. When materials were on site, work was done quickly. The special order windows had some issues with Lowes but even they took care of it.
  I was nervous hiring a contractor for the first time. I usually do repairs myself but this was a little out of my range. I went to Angie's list to find a reputable contractor because I needed to spend this kind of money once and get it done right. I will definitely hire Machen Home Improvements to do repairs in the future as he has been attentive to everything I have asked.

  Jodie showed up and started on the day that he said he would. From start to finish everything went very well. Very profession in his work. A couple of days he even stayed over to work into the evening just so the job was done in a timely manner. No complaints about anything from start to finish. Would recommend Jodie for any home improvement project. Jodie is out to please his customers.

  My experience overall was very good. I had a leaky basement and I had several people that only had one idea of what to do, but this gentleman had several ideas all with pros and cons. I was impressed that he had options to give me, which no one else had. He also suggested some cement work next spring. He guarantees his work and was very upfront about everything. They were there when they said they would be, they were even early. Their price was very reasonable.

  Donnelly Robert Painting

  He was to paint the siding, shutters, trim and porch railing.  We gave him the money on the day before he started the job.  He and his son were rolling the paint onto this house.  A couple days later we went out and he had told us he was close to finishing.  He had rolled the paint to 12-15 inches away from the top.  I called him and told him he didnt get close to the trim and windows.  I told him he didn't paint the porch and he told me the porch was not in the contract.  I told him to look at the contract and the porch was included.  He came back out and did all the trim work but didn't paint the porch.  I called him and he said he needed more money so we gave it to him and he painted the porch but missed several things.  I called him back and told him he had missed the foundation and several other parts, including painting over a sign that the previous renters had left.  I can't believe this place looks like it does after paying $1250.00 to have the work done.

  The contractor came , gave the estimate and started the work a week later. They started the demolition of the exsisting rooms which was very messy because they both had blown insulation in the ceilings. All debri was quickly removed from the site and we where amazed that they had the shell up for the addition within in the first week and a half. Construction of the two rooms went smoothly even though we changed our minds on many aspects on what should be done as the project went on. One main thing was to have a cathedral ceiling in both rooms and a sky light in the bathroom. Every thing we changed was met with " yes we can do that , no problem" and many extras where not even charged for. The wait for the drywall seemed to take long to my wife but that was because they did three layers of drywall mud (instead of 2) which had to dry a day in between each application. The contractor even came by himself on weekends to take care of loose ends to keep the job on schedule. The whole job took five weeks. We are very happy with the work that was done and the way he executed it. He had done a great job on a laundry room for us the previous year and that is why we had him back. We have also refered him to our friends.
