Brinegar Construction Inc

I've liked working with David over the years as he's friendly, professional, resourceful, competent and fair priced. The quality has been mostly satisfactory but there have been times when I've been unhappy and asked him to redo things. He typically abliges. My wife and I were ready to hire David for another project at our house, a Kitchen renovation with new doors and windows. I sent David an email on June 2nd with details of the project and received no response. Since then I have re-emailed, called and texted repeatedly, without any response. My ratings of Bringer Construction above attempts to reflect my past satisfaction as well as my current frustration. Not getting back to your client in a timely manor is simply unprofesional. It appears as much as my wife and I would have liked to have David work on our Kitchen renovation, he doesn’t seem to want it and is not willing or able to communicate this. I remain hopeful that there’s some extenuating circumstance for the lack of communication.I would like the opportunity to amend this review more positively and continue working with David on future projects at our home.

I live 400 miles away so visited the house once every two to three weeks until the project was finished. David kept track of and quot;what needed to be done whenand quot;, was available when the appliances, etc. were delivered to the address, and when I wasn't there he let me know how things were going. He made me feel that I didn't need to worry about things. That's not easy to do from such a distance.
If I needed additional remodeling on the house I'd call David immediately.

Brinegar Construction remodeled a fourplex we just bought in Los Osos, Calif.
They gutted and rebuilt the kitchens and baths. Also fixed ceilings. Poured new patio
and drive. Increased the monthly rent for each by $400 a month.
Planning on buying another fixer upper and turning it over to Brinegar Construction.

They hired on some people that did the cabinetry for both. I was satisfied with the cabinets, but not with the rest of the remodel. I was totally disappointed because I found a lot of stuff that was wrong. It seemed as if they just got sloppy and we tried to contact them a number of times but to no avail. The inside construction was not quality work. I would absolutely not use them in the future!

We recently (February 2014) found that the drain work done during our remodel was not done correctly. The company that fixed the problems explained that none of the connections made to the existing drain were done correctly. An existing bathroom in which a tub was replaced had the wrong type of trap installed, which could have come off and left all of the drain water from this tub to drain under the house onto the ground instead of into the drain.

This was the easiest and most rewarding dealing I've ever had with a contractor. David promptly responded to provide an estimate, and arrived at the agreed time. He also called a few minutes prior to let us know he was on his way. I know this is a small thing, but the previous two contractors had rubbed me the wrong way by arriving more than 20 minutes late without notice, comment or apology.

David assessed the situation, took measurements, answered all questions asked, and provided a number of good suggestions and alternatives for building the kind of arbor we wanted. He was professional, friendly, and thoroughly explained how the job would be done. He promised to provide an estimate within 24 hours. He told us the job itself would take about three or four days. This surprised me because the previous contractor (highly touted in Angie's list) said it would take two weeks. (Of course, this was the same guy who arrived 45 minutes late for the initial appointment, and took another week just to submit an estimate.) Anyway, after David left I had a very good feeling that we had found the right guy for the job.

We received David's estimate the very next morning. It was actually two estimates depending on the type of wood and finish we wanted to use. Both estimates were lower than those submitted by the two other contractors. I called him to find out how soon he could commence the job. Don't recall exactly, but it was within a week's time which was perfect for us. We signed a contract later that day.

Practically everything went according to plan. Work commenced on the agreed date, and it took three and a half days. The crew always arrived on time, and kept busy every moment they were here. Every time I would peek out the window or go out back, no one was ever standing around. This was a very well-oiled machine.

The job would have only taken three days but for one glitch. Once the arbor was up, I noticed that the posts were offset in a way that was different from the old arbor. Esthetically it sort of bothered me, but there was nothing in the contract that addressed the issue of how the posts would be aligned. For all intents and purposes the new arbor did look good, and to re-set the posts at this stage seemed like it would be a lot of work. I addressed my concern to David, and his response was amazing. If I wanted the posts re-set, that's what they would do.

It was the end of the day, and I thought maybe I was just being picky. The new configuration didn't bother my wife, and so I told him I wanted to sleep on it, and would let him know the next morning whether to leave things as they were or not. About an hour later I received a call from David. He said he had been thinking about it, and agreed with me about the post placement. It bothered him too. No decision on my part was required. They were simply going to make the necessary corrections the next morning, which of course, they did. He wanted me to be satisfied. There was never a discussion or suggestion about and quot;well, this is going to cost you more moneyand quot; or anything like that. I can't tell you how impressed I was at this gesture.

The arbor looks great, the roof no longer slants, and I feel safe sitting on my back patio again. Without qualification, David Brinegar will be the first person I call for any future home repair needs.

He remodeled kitchen and bathroom with granite counters. He cleaned up every day.
He finsihed ahead of schedule and the cottage now rents for $300 more per month.
They were on time every day and sometimes worked 12 hours to meet deadlines.
Mr Brinegar returned every phone call.

After hearing from my neighbors that they are very satisfied with the master bedroom suite and bathroom addition and remodeling of their home, I decided to use Brinegar Construction for some work that I needed done to help prepare my home for sale. I needed some interior ceiling repaired where the Air Conditioner installer cracked it, wallpaper removal, extensive interior painting, bathroom remodel with new flooring and fixtures, entire new roof on garage and back porch, new supports for the covered walkway, refinished the hardwood floors, exterior paint touch-up. The crew was always on time, ready to work with a "can do" attitude and seemed to enjoy a job well done, which it certainly is! They have all worked together for several years, and that continuity adds to their understanding of the best way to manage the project. I added several requests to the original list, and they were quick to let me know how that new task would be handled-and it was just as stated. All pricing seemed very fair and all work completed exactly as promised. I have recommended them to three of my friends already!

Excellent. He is the only one I call for anything, and if there is something he does not know how to do, he puts you in contact with someone who does. He is very presentable, honest, and the best service provider I’ve come into contact with. The best things is that when he leaves, you cant even tell he was ever here. Everything is clean, spotless, and phenomenal.
