"It was a bigger job than I had realized but the work was done efficiently and cleanly and the result looks better than I could have imagined.

I have been working for my grandfather who builds custom homes and I have just started my own LLC and trying to get things going. I have my Alabama Home Builders License. I can do anything from small jobs like decks or replacing doors/ windows to big jobs like remodeling houses or building them from the ground up.

"Jose and his crew did an amazing job replacing my driveway. At the consultation meeting as well as in the statement of work, Jose provided a detailed explanation of what the job would entail, the materials and processes that he would use, and addressed all of my concerns. He worked with me on pricing to fit my budget. Everything was completed quickly and efficiently, with meticulous attention to detail, from the demo of the existing driveway to pressure washing the street to make sure no mess was left behind. Jose personally inspected the entire driveway, and stopped by a few times to ensure it was curing correctly. He is professional, courteous and personable, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and would definitely reach out to him again for future projects."

"Al was very kind and straightforward. He did initially tried to charge me a little more than the average for the area but after I explained that I had done research for the labor costs and already have materials he got the cost significantly also mention that you found him on Angie's List. I am very pleased with how the floor looks they did a very quick job some very weird layouts because my house is strange though I love its eccentricity. Though it takes a long time to book him because he is usually busy he works very fast, but not sloppily, and the work was completed in approximately 4 days with a small crew of three one of whom was his son. we are almost done with most of our work but I'm a call him back for some minor repairs thing that needs to be completed the only complaint I have is that at least one of the workers is a smoker and I found a few cigarette butts in my yard or in the bushes next to where they were sawing which was not very pleasant. That is a minor complaint though because as contractors go they show up on time and they get the work done and they get the work done well; which, I don't know if you use very many contractors, is unusual and a good thing. Overall I would use them again in a heartbeat and I would suggest them to other people.

"Prime Management is very professional contractor in Helena. Made sure site was cleared each day. Had some changes at last minute and they rolled right along with no issues. Would recommend this company for future work."

"Crowder Custom Builders, Inc. , Birmingham, AL (205) 229-0484, recently remodeled our Guest bathroom and did such a good job that we hired them to remodel the Master Bath and dressing room. They removed a tub in the Master bath and installed a large shower. Mr. Terry Crowder, owner, did all of the tile work himself and supervised everything. As a former homebuilder with over 30+ years experience, he still keeps up with the latest trends in construction and made suggestions that completely updated our older home. He managed to stay within the estimate while making these changes that added value and much more enjoyment for us. As is common in an older home, he found some safety issues with the wiring etc. and corrected them. Mr. Crowder is knowledgeable, efficient and very detail oriented. If something doesn't look good to him, he will take it out and do it over. He is also very personable and easy to work with. We are well pleased with the work Crowder Custom Builders did for us and we will certainly use them again. Doug and Dot Hayworth, Meadow Brook"

"Nick is Amazing!!! His Sheetrock work is top notch! He is a great resource and should be a general contractor! Kind, honest, communicative, and a Christian!"

"I used Angie's list to get a second estimage on the cost to install a French draim. I spoke to Phillip and reviewed the drainage problem and explained that I was interested in a second quote. He asked a number of questions to help better understand my situation. He viewed the property on Google Maps and within five minutes he was able to provide an estimate. Although I am going to stay with my original contractor, Phillip was very helpful."
