So my garage has been in desperate need of a remodel for years ������������������������. mostly, because I spend a fair amount of time there AND I had become concerned about the holiday decor and miscellaneous items precariously hanging in the rafters. What I knew I needed was a finished ceiling with above ceiling access for storage. This would not only solve any overloaded rafter safety concerns, but it would also provide a nicer environment with better aesthetics. I even generated some quick drawings of what I envisioned for the project and ultimately ended up presenting these to about 6 contractors, via the Home Advisor website. So within about 5 days, I received all the estimates and now I had that ever important decision to make - but honestly, it was a fairly easy choice. I chose Pacific View Builders, as a result of Joern Lange providing a competitive bid, his knowledge on best approach for the project AND they were local. He had a simple no non-sense phased approach that totally aligned with my expectations, as opposed to some of the other contractors trying to over complicate the job (by what I thought) and attempting to confuse me with details, several resulting in over inflated bids. I mean I had drawings and had a pretty good knowledge of what the job entailed ������������������������. and this was a finished ceiling, not a second story add-on. But even as the project kicked off, I knew I had made the right decision. Since this effort included the upgrade of existing ceiling joists, installation of plywood sheeting and drywall, as well as the re-installation of lighting, electrical switches, J-box and receptacle; Joern and I communicated daily on status and the way ahead, throughout the project. I was never left in the dark and we were always on the same sheet of music ������������������������ very important for any project. Also important is the time factor ������������������������ I mean you always want to get your house back to normal again. As a home owner during any project, the process can feel like a mental tug-of-war������������������������������������������������ you want the job done quickly - yet thoroughly; but you also don������������������������t want to rush the project, which could result in shortcuts. With Joern, at no time did I feel the job ever fell into ������������������������rush mode������������������������ and he made sure the job was done professionally to my satisfaction, as well as his. Believe it or not, he really made this project enjoyable, a team effort and the end result was exactly what I envisioned. So if any or all of these 6 words are important for your next project: Competitive, Professional, Reliable, Honest, Good Communication and Local ������������������������ than I would definitely talk to Joern at Pacific View Builders
