Finished project came out nice. A few construction glitches along the way which could have been avoided with better communication. Everything was fixed to my satisfaction. Months later when it rained the cover was leaking which took several calls to address. Final bill was adjusted to account for materials not needed.

The crew came, did their job and left.  They cleaned up the areas well, and were very efficient.

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. They had a good method of getting things done. I am really happy with the tub. The guys worked very hard while they were here. They also kept the house very clean during the work.

Everything went very well. The stone on the wall broke before it was installed and they ordered new stone and took care of everything for us.

"We enjoyed working with you. It was a little stressful getting the tile colors dialed in, but the finished product was absolutely beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to post this review."

The windows went in alright.  they did leave some broken glass but not too bad.  the finish trim of the windows definitely leaves something to be desired with the uneven seams and poor finish work. there were unfinished places in the stucco I would have thought they would have filled/repaired where the installation damaged it.the painting was done by a man from tehachapi;  He and his partner were always on time, worked as neatly as I have ever seen painters able to work...cleaned up at the end of each day, repaired a light fixture that was too high for me to reach without me asking them.  Left lights on to welcome me home.  I cannot speak highly enough of this crew. (Vern Alford) I just found them to be a bit overpriced.  I was new to the town, had no contacts and so was flying by the seat of my pants here.  Grabbed the" good" offer the nice man gave me at a home show here in Bakersfield.  I ran with it and ended up irritated with myself. So, then the granite installation.  First to remove the existing counter, the man who was the general manager, Steve Hill,  did the work himself.  He came in the evenings and stayed late which really was not alright with me, but I wanted the work done and was willing to bend over backwards...he did work in a tidy manner though.  It seemed to take forever to get done.  The crew he brought in from LA to install was professional, neat for such a messy job, and got it done beautifully.  Then, Steve installed my dishwasher, and didn't hook up any hot water to it, and the kitchen faucet he installed backwards.  when I said something to him about the faucet direction he said," I don't know, you bought it."  And while he had told me he would replace the obviously leaking pipes under the sink when I asked him about it this, his answer was,"Oh,  they are much better quality pipes then what I would put in."  this was after in the beginning he told me how he would install these great, thick, pipes under the sink. I had to hire someone else to repair the dishwasher installation , re install the sink faucet correctly, and replace the sink pipes.  The sink pipes by the way, were extremely thin pipe and obviously leaking at the joints.  the damage to the board of the cabinet would tell one there was a problem in the first place and the calcium on the joint another hint.  and Steve had replaced the board......I learned a BIG  lesson.  I paid too much out front, and so had no where to go to force any issue.  He is such a good salesman, declares himself a spiritual man and I am too much. or was, too much a hick to catch it. I wanted to believe him to be what he said; professional, honest and honorable.  He wasn't.  Again, I have since learned he is not licensed. or a part of Lapham Const.  I suggest you DO NOT use him.
Response from Lapham Construction
"Lapham Construction installed replacement windows for this member. We did not contract any other work. After we found this review I contacted the member and set up an appointment the same day to resolve any issues with the windows. After discussing the issue we found that the customer was not happy with the trim work we installed but had not contacted us about it. I was able to bring a crew in that same day to re-install the trim. After we completed the repair the customer told us that she would be happy to chage the review. We offer a 5 year labor warranty on all of our work. I tell all our customers that. "we have never had a complaint filed against us. Not because we're perfect, but because if a customer contacts us with an issue we send out a real person to fix it." I am sorry to hear about all the problems the member had with the other work that was done. As I said before it was not done by Lapham Construction."
