LOWES' SALESPERSON WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH MY DECISION TO SELECT A STORAGE SHED. THE INSTALLERS CAME TO MY HOME ON TIME AND INSTALLED THE SHED.

They were on time and the price was very reasonable. They worked hard to make sure the building was designed like I wanted. They were very kind and professional. They cleaned up the mess when they were finished. I would hire them again.

The Builder Guys

Mario and his team did an amazing job with my kitchen renovation. Not only they worked fast and efficiently, but also provided the modern design ideas we needed to go with the rest of the house. The cost was totally worth it, you get what you pay for and our kitchen couldn’t be more beatiful!!!. We will hire them for the new cabana addition coming up soon. I know that they will do another beautiful, clean, and functional job

The crew and shed completely exceeded by expectations. I scheduled the job in about a week. The website is very informative. The 2 men arrived around 8:30 a.m. The lead builder is very skilled. They use all real lumber - this is not a wood kit! Everything is built from scratch. The way they make efficient use of the material is amazing. They finished the job around 4:30 p.m. and left the job site spotless. The next day, we painted the shed with 2 gallons of exterior latex paint. I was originally going to buy a pre-fab plastic shed, but I am so glad that I went with a shed that was built on site. Not only was this cheaper, but it is sturdy and well made. It will last for years

Jim and crew did a fantastic job on the slab I wanted for a new shed. The price was fair, they showed up on time, paid great attention to detail, and cleaned up much better than expected. Jim is "old school" and takes a great deal of pride in his work. I highly recommend Flagstone Concrete and will use again if any other concrete projects come up

We purchased a new Gable style shed through Elenson Builders. Many thanks to Leo for a perfect transaction from start to finish. Our builder, Davidson, was professional, thorough, and prompt. We are so pleased and would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a shed built on their property

Purchased a custom home from them and they did not honor the one year warranty. Additionally they broke the sales agreement by not completing the cabana bath after close as stated on the addendum on the sales contract. Still in litigation trying to get them to do the right thing and fix the home. I cannot sell it for what I purchased it for and HCAD reduced the property value after viewing the inspections by $300

I hired Kevin on an hourly basis to work alongside of me on a shed rebuild project. I liked his old school "git er dun" mentality and the fact that he said he would work like a scalded dog. He did just that. I learned a lot about the art of carpentry from him and have no doubt that the shed will be long lasting due to his attention to detail and great craftsmanship

TERMEER CUSTOM HOMES
1.0
In 6/2012, I contracted with John Termeer of Termeer & Associates (who also goes by Termeer Design Group and Termeer Custom Homes) to build my custom home in the Lake Conroe subdivision of Bella Vita. Mr. Termeer's website is impressive, as are the homes highlighted on the website---many of which are in the prestigious gated community of Carlton Woods in The Woodlands. However, consumers need to be mindful that those homes were built years ago when many people worked with/for Termeer. Termeer & Associates now appears to consist of just 3 people: Mr. Termeer (who is in his late 70's), his daughter, Sharon McHugh, and their admin. When researching Termeer, I located a negative review from a Bella Vita homeowner on Yelp/Local. In her review, she mentioned warranty issues and that she had been advised to sue Mr. Termeer. At the time, hers was the only Bella Vita home built by Termeer. When I asked about the review, Termeer told me her problems were the result of a swimming pool she contracted to build AFTER she purchased and moved into the home. I took him at his word. Before signing the contract for Termeer to build my home, I was not aware that homeowners Ramon and Wenona Martinez had filed a lawsuit in the Harris County District Court against Termeer & Associate and John Termeer over "a $3.2 million home built by Termeer" for alleged shoddy work. They also were quoted (in the newspaper) that Termeer is "underfunded." I was also not aware that Termeer did not own any lots in Bella Vita. My understanding is preferred builders must own two lots in Bella Vita. No one will explain to me how Termeer is allowed to build in Bella Vita; although I have sent an email request to the developer (Signorelli/BV Board of Director) who never responded. My husband and I moved into the home when it was considered substantially completed 6/2/2013. As of TODAY, Termeer has not completed the punch list, and the City of Conroe did not issue me a Certificate of Completion to occupy the home until 8/2013. The building process with Termeer was a nightmare---the way Termeer handles allowances, change orders, invoices (or lack thereof), and final settlement. I received sub-contractor's threats of liens against my house for unpaid bills. A $40,000 check that Termeer wrote to the pool builder bounced. At the same time, the Bella Vita HOA was calling me, emailing me, and sending me "covenant violations" notices with fines of $100/day---when the violations were being broken by Termeer, not by me (working on Sunday, no erosion fence)! The day-to-day supervision of the building of my home was handled by Termeer's daughter, Sharon McHugh, who he did not introduce me to until AFTER he and I had signed the contract. Once the construction of the house began, and I started experiencing problems which I brought to Termeer's attention, Termeer repeatedly ignored my request that he take a more hands-on approach. Ms. McHugh was habitually late for almost every meeting I had with her. I would often get a call from her asking that I "meet me at the house ASAP." I rarely had advance notice of a meeting. There were a lot of quality control issues, which we are still trying to resolve with Termeer. For example, Ms. McHugh, without our permission, substituted tankless hot water systems for what our specifications stated (conventional hot water heaters). Once installed, we complained over and over again that we could not get consistent hot water at our faucets. My husband shaved in cold water, and we took cold showers, because we could not get the hot water to come on and stay on. Mr. Termeer sent many email replies advising that nothing was wrong with our hot water supply. At no time did he visit our house to test for himself. Two months after moving into the house, I contacted and paid for a private plumber who advised me the tankless hot water systems were installed incorrectly to one main pipe versus being cut/capped to act independently---they were confusing each other and shutting off altogether. This "lack of hot water at faucets in an acceptable timeframe" issue is ongoing. Our travertine tiles in our house/floor are now cracking. Our stucco that was damaged by Termeer's subs was (just last week) repaired using the wrong color and remains unresolved. Believe it or not, I lived in this house for over two months before Termeer hired a locksmith and I was given keys to my front door and my garage door! If I wanted to lock the doors and leave the house, I had to exit through the back patio doors and walk around the house, because my husband and I were only given two keys to the house when we moved in, and those were to the back doors, not the front or garage doors. I also learned upon closer review that the Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) contract that Termeer uses favors the builder, not the homeowner. For example, it prohibits (in italics and bold letters) the homeowner from withholding or retaining the final 10% (of the cost of the home) under the Texas Property Code as regards to mechanics, contractor's or material's liens. The Texas Property Code Subchapter E, Section 53.101 "Required Retainage" states "(a) During the progress of work under an original contract for which a mechanic's lien may be claimed and for 30 days after the work is completed, the owner shall retain: (1) 10 percent of the contractor price of the work to the owner." However, as stated above, unless prior to signing the GHBA contract, the client asks that the contract be changed, the client will be expected to pay Termeer IN FULL within three days of each draw request, including the last one. In addition, the GHBA contract states that the "commencement fee," which in our case was 10% of the contract price of the home is "non refundable under any circumstances." Be very sure you want to use Termeer, considering he could keep the commencement fee that you pay without having broken ground, much less poured your home's foundation. As regards to "allowances," the GHBA contract also states that "purchases will be made from suppliers who are typically used by the builder." In my case, Termeer had one preferred supplier for plumbing and appliances. If I had to do it over again, I would have that sentence removed. When a preferred supplier KNOWS they are going to get your business, they don't necessarily have to offer you lower prices, in my opinion. Also pay close attention to the bold and italics section of item 4 ALLOWANCES on the GHBA contract. You will be solely responsible for the adequacy of the allowance amounts, but as per Ms. McHugh's policy, the quotes go to Termeer FIRST. Often, I had to ask Ms. McHugh for copies of the allowance quotes. If you know anything about allowances, you will understand why it is VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP TRACK OF ALLOWANCES DURING THE HOME BUILDING PROCESS. You do not want any extra dollar surprises at the end when the final payment is due. Understand what "change order fee" means on item 9 of the GHBA contract that Termeer uses. Not understanding and not keeping a close eye on changes could also result in major shock when the final payment is due. And lastly, pay attention to item 10 of the GHBA contract. In bold and italics, it states "the Owner agrees not to instruct, direct, or otherwise communicate with the subcontractors retained by the Builder as to the scheduling of or details about the work..." Termeer and Ms. McHugh quoted that sentence of the GHBA contract to me many times. It's in there for a reason. And in my opinion, it is not in the client's best interest. Bottom line: Termeer's GHBA contract is not client-friendly. I just completed a year-long process walking my house, watching the construction of my home, dealing with the financial aspects, and the father/daughter dynamics of Termeer and Associates. I have also just spent 3-1/2 months since moving into my home waiting for subs to show up to complete the punch list---often, they did not, or they would show up with zero notice. Would I recommend Termeer Design Group aka Termeer and Associates? No

Overall the services Home Remedy performed were fantastic. They did a brilliant job on the room addition behind the garage and a great finished job on the bathroom. The only thing I wish I had given them was a detailed drawing of exactly what I wanted (this would have made communication easier). Also, I would have picked the tile, faucets etc prior to start date (we had ordered the faucets on line and we had to wait on them). They were great at correcting anything that needed to be

The work was tedious and required a methodical approach. Javier studied the instructions and put together the sheds piece by piece (and there were hundreds of pieces involved) in a timely manner. I would hire Javier again for future projects. I understand he is well versed in several disciplines.
I made contact with Keith almost a year ago when we were in the process of building our new home. As soon as the home was finished, I was going to construct a swimming pool and pool house. My wife found Keith on the internet, I researched his operation as good as I could, and we made the decision to use him. There was a lot of planning, permits, and HOA to deal with. I managed to work my way through all of that and then finally we built the pool. When the pool was built we had the slab poured for the building and small storage shed at the same time. Keith began his buildings three weeks after the concrete was poured. Keith and his crew did a great job on the entire project. They are some of the finest people I have ever met. They are experienced, hard workers, and go out of their way to help. I have been in construction my entire life and I can tell you they build a quality building. If you want cheap, you need to go to Lowes or Home Depot. Everything he says in his adverising is correct. He builds in excess of recognized standards. My wife and I are very pleased and proud of our new pool facility and storage. The pool house is 12' by 16' with a 5' porch, and the storage building is 4' by 10'
We used Hilton Roofing several times - twice for flat roofs, once to repair roof tiles damaged by a falling branch, and once for replacement of cracked tiles and rusted gutters. They were conscientious, dependable and efficient. We would definitely use them again.
The repair of my fence went great. This company does a great job and in a fast manner. All their work was professionally done that all my neighbors around me liked it and they are interested in getting their fence done as well. I will definitely recommend this company 100%.
They were too expensive for what I wanted them to do. They were not real fast to respond, but they did respond and they were very courteous. They did not charge me anything for the estimate. My experience was not real bad or good. It was just neutral. They could have responded a little quicker. To use them, they could have been not quite so expensive. They were very professional when they did contact me
They came, worked, corrected problems, never argued, and were always pleasant. I like Dustin Marks; he's creative at solving problems and works quickly. I plan to hire them again for deck and other carpentry problems.
They did an excellent job. They knew we had a dog so they make sure that there wasn't any nails or anything. I would recommend them without any single hesitation.
Thought I would pay the extra money for THE name brand. Salesman promised the world and provided great communication... until the install went wrong. Now nobody will take or return my calls. The only thing I need fixed is the side walk-through door, which was never finished being installed properly and is so poorly installed, it could be knocked down easily with a strong shoulder. Something they could repair in no more than an hour. I waited 2 months before leaving this review, giving them a chance to reply but after multiple calls... nothing. Find someone who will stand behind their product! OTHER INSTALL ISSUES: Installers arrived about 11:30 am on Saturday. The began unloading materials and I noticed there was no sign of the included steel sub-frame that was supposed to be installed under the shed. Had to call the salesman to confirm then it took 2 more hours to get the steel delivered and eventually begin installing by 2:00 pm on Saturday. Needless to say they didn't finish and then had to return Sunday and rushed through to get done by dark. The 2 installers that returned did not speak English. Many misc items had to be pointed out that were not completed correctly. Was not satisfied with the solution they came up with for the door and insisted someone come back out. I also ordered a ramp for the front and one of the boards is warping badly but if they will not respond for the door issue, they will not fix the ramp either. VERY FRUSTRATED. Thought the name brand in sheds would have been more reliable
Great company to work with. Frank and his wife Erika were very pleasant from the beginning of the project all the way to the completion. They were professional, responsive and very easy to contact. I needed a 10 x 18 storage room (not a typical storage shed with smartside panels and a barn door, etc.). Since this storage will be used to store some expensive furniture and other personal belongings, moisture prevention was a big factor. I upgraded their standard 10 x 18 storage shed to the following: 1/2 OSB Exterior Sheathing on all sides. Tyvek Moisture Barrier House Wrap on all sides. 8 in. Hardie Siding on all sides. 6 ft. Steel Double Entry Doors. 78 ft. of 16 in. shelves (3 rows on one 18 ft. wall and 3 rows on one 8 ft. wall). 30 year shingles to match existing roof (3 Tab shingles not allowed in my subdivision). Frank's father actually did the work and is very good at his trade. He took his time and paid attention to details from the foundation, framing, hardie siding, door installation, trim and roof. The project was completed in a timely manner and the building looks great. We are 100/% pleased with the workmanship and services of Flores Premium Sheds and will definitely uses their services again. {Member's names} Houston, T
David and his crew were absolutely amazing to work with. David was here every day overseeing the entire project. Every one in his crew was spectacular. Great craftmanship while still managing to get the job done on time. I cannot recommend them enough.
I was impressed with the quality of the shed and the workmanship. The employees were always on time and did the work in a timely fashion. I was very surprised in how they were able to get the shed up so fast. I would definitely use them again. My shed looks nice and that is what I wanted. I was pleased with the work done

Adrian and his men were at the jobsite on time, did the project as stated. Installed rebars and realigned the French drains underneath the installed concrete extension. Poured concrete as per specifications. Angle of slope and degree of finish were also to specs. I would recommend him for a job well done.
