Paramount Renovations

On an initial phone call with Levi, I described the general scope of the project and also stressed that the work needed to occur during a very specific time frame. Levi expressed interest in the job, and affirmed that Paramount would be available during the period requested. Based on that affirmation, I provided contact info for my current tenant in order for Paramount to set up a time to inspect the space. And immediately after the call, I emailed a very detailed list of the work I wanted completed. Levi affirmed receipt of that email the next day, and I awaited the bid from Paramount. Approximately 2 weeks later, I received a wildly inaccurate bid that included multiple elements I had never asked for (eg, a new vanity, baseboard heating, a bathtub), and omitted critically important elements that I had specifically asked for (eg, a walk-in shower, window replacement, etc). When questioned on that day (both via email and telephone), Paramount could provide no explanation for the inaccuracies. They also revised the bid on-the-spot (on the phone), which resulted in updates that were slightly ridiculous (eg, price of the project would be EXACTLY the same if a walk-in shower were added but unnecessary items were removed). At that point, I requested more specific information regarding the bid and how costs were calculated. The next day, Paramount contacted me to let me know that they were no longer available for the project. In subsequent correspondence with Levi, I was told that the inaccuracies of the bid were due to internal communication errors (with no further details as to what that means exactly). He also explained that the companyand acirc;??s inability to accept the job was due to my tenantand acirc;??s failure to allow access to the unit in a timely manner, which critically delayed the bid, thereby allowing other contracts to be signed. The delays attributed to my tenant were unknown to me until that conversation (ie, Paramount never contacted me during the process to express concern about gaining access in a timely manner, etc). All in all - from my perspective and acirc;?? the actions of Paramount were unprofessional and inconsiderate. Their processes and/or staffing seems fairly dysfunctional. The excuses they provided for problems encountered were somewhat difficult to believe. And ultimately, they and acirc;??bumpedand acirc;?? my project for another and failed to honor their verbal promise of availability.

It was a very short and unfriendly conversation.

wasted my time.

They came. They estimated. They worked. They left us satisfied.

It went fine. Scott is highly responsive and did a good job. As a result of his caulking, etc., the house felt less drafty almost instantly. We gave him all "As" except for a "B" on price. The first visit, where the bulk of the work was done, was priced very reasonably, but I thought the tab for a second, brief visit (hanging the door) was a little pricey. We strongly recommend this guy.

He also cleaned his work areas.

HIRE PROFFESSIONALS- this guy is a clown. To his credit if you need something simple like blinds hung up for you he is your man. If your looking for someone who conducts himself in a PROFFESSIONAL manner and works look elsewhere. I have so many negative things to say I couldn't possibly cover it here. Few things that will cover this guy in a nutshell: 1) gives you a decent quote- but not a contract RED FLAG FOLKS 2)contracts a lot of the work out to others he just met -like the felon he had in my home where I have small children that he met the day before for the first time. 3) he constantly reeks of Marijuana ( but he'll say he has a legal license- sorry but I don't believe your medical marijuana license covers you on the job) 4) big promises on start dates and times he plans on showing up- then never does. 5) is real quick to take your money and run. 6) had an issue with theft of jewelry while his subcontractors and their children (who they had working... Ummm child labor laws??) where here, even after I repeatly mentioned that I was not comfortable with that. 7) This guy is paranoid to all h*** ( marijuana????) And quick to blam me or anyone else for what went wrong. All I can say is I paid him way too much on time and he did not deliver. Like I said, there's so much more than this and if you would like to speak to me personally I would be happy to fill you in and steer you clear from Scott Edwards and Paramount Renovations. Feel free to email me at snowtwinpeaks@aol.com Sorry, after having a good laugh at the response posted I just would like to say that I appreciate the length you have gone to try and redeem yourself on paper. Had you put half that effort into your work you would be a respectable contractor. Us- scammers? You are the one with my money and I am left with no work completed. Your responses lack any credibility, its basically completely falsified, and I sincerly encourage you to seek help for your drug abuse as it is obviously clouding your memory. I encourage anyone who is even considering using this guy to tread carefully. My husband and I both work respectable jobs in healthcare and do not have a need to "scam" anyone. I would encourage anyone to please contact me (snowtwinpeaks@aol.com) and I will be happy to provide contractors/ painters/ handymen we have used that I can vouch for their character and as they can for mine. I would hate for anyone to have to endure what we have with Scott Edwards and his paranoia. I will leave it at that as I have already seen how inaccurate and false anything you respond to will be. Let the videos and photos I have taken show you his work, and his kids on the job, and you can decide how comfortable you feel about hiring someone who is cleary denying what I have video proof of. Bottom line folks, why even take a chance???

Hanging window blinds is not a big deal for some people, but I have two left thumbs, so I needed a handyman. Although Scott was very busy and this was a small job, he made time for us, coming about 48 hours after we called. He did a very good job---the blinds look quite sharp---and everything went quickly, and the price was very reasonable.

Well I think I told the story above I am very happy with Scotts work and will always include him in my future projects. Basement remodel will be next on the agenda for my personal home.

They are very reliable. They are definitely doing quality work. They are honest and offer an extremely reasonable price.
