"This was an addition on Mobile Bay. New master bedroom and bath, new living area, screened porch. New roof and siding throughout. The Project was not without complication, permits, surveys, inspections, window delivery delays, to mention a few. Throughout all this we worked very well together. Communication from the contractor was excellent at all times, explaining the issues and working with us on the solutions. Despite the challenges, the work was completed on budget."

"Richard is very knowledgeable and got the job done that we needed him to do within a timely manner. The work was excellent and I would recommend him and will use his services again in the future."

"I was very pleased with Randy and all the info he provided me with. He is very knowledgeable about any and all services I asked him about! His pricing is very fair and I would absolutely call him again for all my home repair needs! 10 out of 10 ⭐️"

"so far so good Joe is extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous; and is a 'can-do!' contractor. He arrived on site as planned and immediately got to work to assess and initiate repairs. At the time of this writing, we have more to go; but have already planned dates and times for completion of project. I am very happy that he is on the job- completely reliable and excellent work. Highly recommend."

"Lewis was very friendly and professional. Great communication! He got the 3 rooms painted quickly and they look great. One of the rooms had a spot that dripped and he came back and fixed it the next business day. He cleaned up his mess so well you wouldn't even know he had been here. Highly recommend!"

We wanted to remodel our newly purchased condo but didn't think we'd be able to afford all the projects we had in mind because of the limitations of our budget. A couple of local contractors in Gulf Shores had estimated a minimum cost of $40,000. We contacted Help-Around-the-House based on favorable Angie's List reviews and found that they more than live up to their great reputation. Dan Parks and his team worked closely with us from start to finish, not only helping us to stay within our budget but also coming up with ideas that were better than what we originally had in mind. All of the work was of high quality, yet it was done amazing fast.  We couldn't be more satisfied with the final result.  We definitely recommend Dan Parks and the Help-Around-the-House team to anyone who wants high quality work done at a fair price.

"This contractor was the most responsive as noted in the timeline below.
Unfortunately, while in the final stages of the bid comparison process, this contractor withdrew their bid citing they were awarded a large job out of town.  
As part of the bid comparison process I sent each contractor a list of questions and clarifications.  This contractor answered most of my questions but not all.  In fact there was but one contractor who responded to every question, which is the contractor I have selected to complete the replacement of my roof.  
Timeline
30 July 2015:  Late Thursday night I contacted the contractor and requested a quotation.  The contractor responded the same night nothing they would call me the next day in order to arrange a time to view the job.
31 July 2015:  On Friday, as promised, the contractor called and left me a voice message requesting a time to walk the job.  I returned the call around noon and we scheduled the visit for the following day - Saturday.
01 August 2015:  Two representatives from the company arrived at the predetermined time and immediately went to work walking the job down.  They were very friendly and seemed quite knowledgeable regarding the work to be done.  They answered all my questions and made several recommendations for ensuring I received a quality roof replacement and a couple of areas I would be able to save money on the job.  The quotation was prepared onsite and provided to me before they left the property.
02 August 2015:  I received a message from the contractor apologizing for failing to provide me with the discount offered all Angie's List members.  I was told to subtract the discount amount from my total.
  30 August 2015:  On this Sunday night after reviewing all of my proposals, and in an attempt to ensure all were apples-to-apples, I sent each contractor a list of questions regarding their quotations.  As previous, this contractor was very punctual and responded to several of my questions the same night.  However, I noticed responses to a couple of the important questions had been overlooked. (see notes at top of page)
01 September 2015:  I sent the contractor a follow up email noting a couple of the questions had been overlooked in the initial response and asked that a response be provided as soon as possible.
02 September 2015:  I received a message via Angie's List and a phone message stating they must withdraw their bid due to being awarded a job out of town.  They apologized and assured me I would be in good hands "with the other contractors."

"What a great experience. He did the work on a Sunday which others seldom do. The job was completed professionally and he cleaned up afterwards. Additionally, he went to Home Depot himself and purchased additional trim. Extremely conscientious. I will definitely hire again."

"Josh did a wonderful job on this project. He went above and beyond, and he was very quick to get started. Within one day of telling Josh what I needed done, he had already gotten started! He is very friendly and definitely a hard worker!! I will definitely be using him again in the future!"

"Dearman construction did not disappoint! Very punctual! By far the best customer service and their experience and knowledge of the job requested was outstanding, if you need ANYTHING done from roofing, decking to tile Dearman Construction are the people to go to! Would recommend this business to anyone looking for top notch contractors. Would refer these people to my own family!"
