  In 2017 we hired this beautiful She Shed/ Garage to be built. It is everything we hoped it would be in style and appearance and functionality. We are very proud of it. My husband and I did the inside finish work which included full insulation and walls and metal ceiling install, a permanent stairway and completely floored the attic which means we have more money in this building than noted. Over 100,000. Our problem has been ongoing almost this entire time and that is a leaking metal roof. I am sorry that sending the builder down with his caulking gun to cover up the screw heads is not a suitable fix to the problem so please do not suggest this or have him contact us. It continues to get worse as time goes on and as you can see in the photo I don’t have a good way to catch the water that comes in every time it rains. I guess we need an 8’x56’ catch pan to lay in the center of the building to protect the floor and insulation below. Can you provide us with one? It doesn’t seem right that we the homeowners should have to pay to have the metal roof removed so a shingle roof can be installed on this building that is not yet 5 years old. What do you think? This is our third Wick building and the second one with a metal roof and they both leak. The other barn is for machinery storage only so we just deal with it

  All Phase had done the interior of my home in 2016, remodeling kitchen and bath. I was so happy with all that had been done, I started saving to have my front porch screened in. I had been to Dave and Kathy's porch and knew they were the ones I needed to make it beautiful. It is perfect! Dave knew what was exactly right for my 1930's home; it looks like it should have always been this way. They took videos, so if any screens were damaged, I would know how to repair them. As always, Dave, Kathy and their team were wonderful to work with. They even remembered my cats

  It went perfectly! I called Mr. Scott & another provider & received estimates from both. I decided to go with Mr. Scott. He came & measured, I gave him a deposit & approximately a week later (11-12) the glass was installed. Of course now the only problem is I have 2 beautiful clear windows & the other 7 - well - not exactly clear! I would not hesitate to hire Mr, Scott again - his work was exceptional, he was very friendly & professional

  On 9-3-21, we hired Ron to build our attached garage and paid him the initial 1/3rd down payment. The day before we signed the contract, we asked Ron how long it would take and how fast it could be built. He claimed it would take 12 days to build and that as soon as the permits were returned, he could start right away. We inquired if that was true, and he answered yes, I have numerous crews. We discussed it and signed the contract the next day, which was 9-3-21, as indicated above. We didn't hear from Ron for 6 days after he got the 1/3rd down. He works with a lady named Cindy, and they've submitted so much incorrect paperwork to gain permits. They say they're great friends with the city of Greenwood, and don't worry, we'll get this approved. However, the building inspector we spoke with had never worked with Ron before. We had to go up to the city multiple times to correct Cindy and Ron's mistakes since we thought they were just attempting to put anything on the documents to get it approved. Finally, we, the homeowners, went to the meeting to get it approved that Ron required additional money to get the permit approved. The permit was ready on November 16, but Ron didn't pick it up or pay for it until 12-3-21, and he only did so because the permit building said the permit would be canceled if it wasn't picked up. We texted Ron after he paid for the permit and picked it up and inquired whether he was going to work tomorrow, to which he replied, "That puts you 15th in line with us." We inquired why you indicated you could start right away when we signed our contract, and his response was, "I have other clients." We understand that, but that doesn't negate the remark you made before we signed. So continuing to the day he finally showed up for work on December 20-2021, the first day he came to work, Ron threatened to walk off the job twice because we had concerns and questioned his work Ron stated our lot is not square but our lot has been surveyed. a lot of the issues we had with Ron could have been solved all by him using a simple measuring tape The city approved us to go 10ft back and even came out and told Ron you still have 2 ft to go back but he chose not to listen to us or the inspector and chose to place the footings where he wanted. The homeowners felt like Ron arrived at the project site knowing exactly what he wanted to perform and was unconcerned with the home owner's preference. Once Ron has your signature on that document, he will walk all over you, shout at you, and threaten you. We have never been put through so much emotional turmoil before. The first thing he did was dig and lay footings, then the next day he struck our kitchen wall with his bulldozer, which shook the wall and was caught on camera. Ron stated the wall is OK (how do you know? can you see through the wall? we still don't know if he did serious harm to the interior of the wall) additionally he chipped the driveway while cutting our concrete. They attempted to pull out the ground wire to the house with the bulldozer and one of the employees yelled that's the ground wire don't take that out. Ron asked to use our extension cord then once he was done he threw it on the ground and ran over it and busted it. We had just purchased brand new white vinyl fencing and Ron's workers just had the funniest time peeing on it even after we told them not to and that there was a bathroom inside, their entire time here they kept peeing on the fence. The inspector came out, and we almost didn't pass because Ron didn't get the water out. Ron did not return until January 13, 2022, that is indeed day 3 of work in 16 days off 3 days working then he didn't return for another 33 days that's right 33 days later he finally showed up he loves to just show up no call no text he showed up on Feb 15 and 16,2022 and continues to work Ron's employees put up our outside walls which for some reason were fiberboard walls that were falling apart as the team picked up the pieces which we thought was a little strange as we thought the garage was OSB so read your contract carefully since he loves to slip things in there thinking you won't notice. So we contacted Ron and told him we wanted OSB and would pay the difference in price. Ron had us pay for 28 sheets of OSB for a 20 x 28 garage although a 20 x 28 garage only calls for 27 sheets with NO holes taken out of it. We had 2 complete walls cut out for 3 overhead garage doors with 9 ft walls 20x28 garage to get to the point they only used 18 sheets of OSB for the walls the other 5 went on the roof (the 5 on the roof are on Ron as he was short so the contractor took 5 of ours to put on the roof the contractor even told Ron on camera he took 5 out of ours) and the other 5 went back with Ron. He snuck up my driveway on camera and stole 5 more pieces of OSB. When we called him to tell him you stole our OSB and it's on camera, he said we were retarded and was cursing up a storm. He ended up stealing $400 dollars worth of OSB and getting away with it. We're still debating whether we want to spend any more time or money trying to get that back under arbitration. When they clean up, instead of bringing a broom, they prefer to use a metal concrete scrapper thing and scraped the crap out of my driveway. When they took down the wooden fence with the metal poles, they dragged it down the driveway and scratched up the driveway instead of picking it up. Ron employs the cheapest and laziest staff he can find. They smoke 24/7 while here and toss all the cig butts down even after we told them not to because our dogs would eat them. Be advised that everything I say on this review has been recorded by my home surveillance system! On February 18th, Ron arrived for the second one-third payment. They delivered concrete on March 23rd, and it was extremely wet. Even the manager of Shelby Concrete acknowledged the contractor should have rejected the load and we would have reloaded, but because it had already been poured for 45 minutes, there was nothing they could do. We believe this was their strategy all along, delivering us as-is concrete with no warranty, we are anticipating it will crack in the future and we will have ongoing difficulties with it since they brought it so wet. Ron also utilized old materials, so be aware that more than half of the items he brought to the house had labels that were a year to two years old. Some items read 2021, while others said 2020, indicating that not much was brought new. When Ron's crew attached the garage to our house, they did not flash the area; instead, they used VBR paper and shingles that will completely leak in the future. We have told Ron countless times that the area needs to be flashed; you cannot simply shingle over where two roofs are joined; it simply will not work. Our contract also stated that we were supposed to have three 20-amp circuits from the home to the garage, but when they installed the circuits, they installed one 20-amp and two 15-amp circuits. The contract also specifies that we were supposed to receive two 36-inch doors, but instead received one 36-inch door and one 32-inch door. Ron has cheated us so many times and is still attempting to get away with it. Ron employees anyone who is cheap, those same employees were hurling hammers from the garage into our driveway, cracking the concrete in many spots. Ron will be the nicest guy until you sign the contract, but once you do, he becomes tough to work with. Anytime you call Ron out on his faults, he either goes ballistic or says that it's not true, and as previously said, all of this is either on our home surveillance system or on our personal phones; we now have over 433 photographs of just the garage project on one phone alone. In addition, Ron brought a strange blue door, which we thought was strange given that our entire house has white doors with nickel handles. We made it abundantly clear the day we signed the contract, and even in texts to Ron, that we only had nickel hinges and door knobs in our home, and that's what we want for the Garage as well. We ended up having to buy our own door knobs, which he was supposed to supply, and were never reimbursed for them for the ones he took back. Ron and his team will almost certainly reply to all of this and twist it in such a manner that it appears to be our responsibility for something, that is simply who he is. This is a strong cautionary statement. Stay wary of this company, which utilizes a variety of company names. Ron finished our garage on April 8, 2022, 110 days after he began digging. I'm not sure why he took so many days off and worked so little. Update: It is now April 21, 2022, and Ron is refusing to fix anything. We currently have a leak with damage because they left it so long. We contacted Ron last Thursday about a leak, and it took him a week to come out and caulk a small spot. Which still hasn't resolved the issue; what they need to do is properly flash it, as stated previously. We have damage on the door frame from the leak that Ron doesn't seem to care about, and we have the area for the ridge vent that has been cut too long and instead of going out and buying more ridge vent to fix their mistake, they are attempting to leave it as is, with the bottom of the shingles visible where the ridge vent should be. Finally, the conrete work is really terrible as there are so many bad spots in it and rough edges that will never go away, but the horrible surface of the concerte could have been fixed all by epoxying it, but he chose not to. In addition, we attempted to file an insurance claim against Ron, which he is preventing us from doing. So we are attempting to go through arbitration; our contract states that Ron must provide us with the arbitration names, which we have repeatedly requested and which he has not provided. We are currently in discussions with our lawyer to determine which legal options we can and will pursue. There are three things Ron could have done and still can do to resolve these issues: 1.) fix the leak area appropriately with flashing, 2.) fix the ridge vent area (needs additional ridge vent), and 3.) epoxy the garage floor to make it look halfway decent

  My Home In Indy - Gary did a wonderful job overall, the quality of work was excellent and we're extremely satisfied with the final work done. As feels typical with construction work the time line ended up being extended beyond what was initially anticipated, so simply factor this into your decision and you'll be really pleased with the end work performed

  The job was completed on time and within budget. We are extremely happy with the work done. The plumbing under the house needed additional repairs and Gary handled that as well. We are very happy to recommend My Home.

  The work was done well. Gary's crew followed the architect's plans closely, asked good questions, and made appropriate adjustments. As with any construction project there were some minor issues, which Gary dealt with quickly and thoroughly. Gary kept his subs to a strict schedule and completed his work accurately, rapidly, and on-budget
