Preferred Home Repair and Construction, LLC

Very Well. Rod was meticulous on detail and immediately corrected a few very minor problems (there were no major problems), before we had the time to catch them or talk to him. We were highly satisfied and impressed with his work. He had several subcontractors for some work. They seemed competent, and he appeared to closely monitor their work.

This is the second time preferred has done remodeling for us and, as the first time, they did a great job. Excellent planning, preparation, and very high quality work. The job was done to perfection at a very reasonable cost. They are punctual, honest, and forthright. Not only do they do excellent work, but Rodney is also very good at design and functionality. The sub contractors that Preferred works with are also very good at what they do, charge a reasonable price, and provide excellent customer service. Once the job is complete Rodney follows up to ask if everything is working out well and asks whether we are satisfied. We will never use another contractor for remodeling as long as Preferred is in business.

Rodney worked with us on ideas for, and the design of the covered patio. He recommended reasonably priced and dependable contacts for blueprints (required by our HOA) and electrical work. Rodney consulted us at each stage of the construction, ensuring our satisfaction with the work completed, and made good recommendations along the way. He cleaned the work site daily. He was professional in his conduct, had a strong work ethic, and the quality of his work was/is excellent. We are very pleased with our patio. Rodney did an outstanding job, and we highly recommend him. My delay in writing a review is not a reflection on the job, just a reflection on us with a busy life and a large family.

Rodney and his team were very professional and provided excellent work. They were always extremely thoughtful, conscientious, and willing to communicate throughout the entire process. The project was to take place in an extremely tight and small space. Rodney and his team worked very hard to frame and layout the space in a manner to best utilize the space and create an extremely functional laundry room. in a small space I would get daily phone call updates throughout the process, which was extremely important due to the tight timelines we had in place. Each day the job-site was extremely clean. The finished product turned out immaculate. We really appreciate everything Rodney and his team did to make this project a success.

We wanted to update our 1970's house by replacing the ugly, flat brown doors and woodwork. We also wanted a tile backsplash in the kitchen. When Rodney came for the first time, he said I had called the right person - and he was right! He helped us decide exactly what we wanted to do and he had lots of creative ideas and good advice on how to prioritize and proceed. He guided us in selecting the doors, trim and hardware and suggested other minor updates that would make a big difference: under-cabinet lights in the kitchen, replacing the plugs and switches, and updating some of the light fixtures.
Rodney and his crew were very careful and respectful of our home. They protected the carpet and furniture and used a fan system to minimize the dust. They cleaned up every evening before leaving. Rodney called me most every morning to let me know what was happening that day and who would be coming.
The job went smoothly and Rodney was very accommodating about add-ons as the project went along. These included re-tiling the entry and hallway, moving the door going from the family room to the garage, and even mounting the TV on the wall.
Rodney is meticulous in his work and he is truly an old-world style craftsman. Everything has to be just right and it is! He can do just about any kind of job and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Update: Several weeks after the job was finished, I noticed that one little 4-inch piece of base trim had not gotten replaced - it was upstairs by a seldom-used bedroom. I called Rodney to see if he had a little scrap and he came over, cut and fitted the piece perfectly - even painted it. It's reassuring to know that we can count on Rodney to back up his work and to fix any little glitches down the road. One more reason to recommend him and to have him do work for us in the future.

After obtaining quotes from other contractors, I chose Rodney because you know when you can trust someone. From the moment I met Rodney, and I have a good "radar" screen, I felt relieved after weeks of worrying about finding the right contractor. He was easy to communicate with and really took the time to listen.You also know when you are in good hands. Rodney is a highly reliable and qualified contractor; he knows his business and what he's doing. This took a huge burden off my shoulders because I was able to relax, knowing things would be done right. He is meticulous and cares about his work as if it were his own home.  While he has a professional work attitude, he is also down to earth and fun to work with. His worker, Michael, did an outstanding job as well. The trim work he did is true perfection. I love it! In fact, we hired him again to do some other work around our house! Last, Rodney assisted us greatly in helping us determine the scope of the work we wanted done. He was patient and not pushy at all. In the end, we got everything we wanted done and could not be happier with the results. We would highly recommend Rodney and his company to anyone looking for an outstanding contractor that you can trust.

Rodney is a complete professional who is detail oriented, conscientious, customer oriented, and a great guy.  Note: My address above is a mailing address.  The work done was at my home in Centennial, Co.

The water line running to the freezer of our our refrigerator cracked n the middle of the night and sprayed water on our hardwood floors and wall in the kitchen for about 3 hours before we woke up and were able to turn off the water supply.  The water soaked down through the floor into the ceiling of the basement and did a fair amount of damage to the ceiling and walls were the water dripped down.  After having everything dried out (by a seperate company), Rodney did and excellent job of replacing the areas of the ceiling and wall were the damage was done and did an amazing job of matching and blending the texture to match the existing walls.  He replaced damaged baseboards and then repainted the entire room (ceiling and walls) to insure color match.  Basement looks like new again.

If you were to make a list of all of the elements that you would prefer, no, require in a contractor Preferred has every one of those elements and more.  Rodney has it all - he is absolutely the best contractor we have ever hired.  We literally felt that when Rodney and his partner were here we were having frineds over for the day.  If you read his Business Description he lives up to every aspect of it and more.  We had gotten two estimates from other contractors before we met with Rodney for his estimate.  We knew within 10 minutes after meeting him that we would hire him.  My husband did remodeling for hire in the past, we have completely gutted and remodeled two homes that we owned, and my husband is a perfectionist, so our standards are pretty high.  We live in an earth-sheltered home that was built in 1985.  We have remodeled all except the master bath.  Because this small bathroom had a huge jacuzzi literally in the middle of it, and no shower, we rarely used it.  The biggest challenge was the redesign.  We hadn't figured it out completely, and other contractors who looked at it hadn't presented any ideas that seemed to solve all of the challenges.  Rodney was challenged, but never gave up until he absolutely solved every concern and addressed every need we presented to him.  He is an excellent problem-solver as evidenced by addressing and solving the leak in the ceiling rather than just covering it up, by ensuring that the light from the outside flowed into the inside,which is essential in an earth-sheltered home, and by developing a design so that not one inch of space was under-utilized.  He is honest, pays attention to detail, flexible, and provides ways to save money without compromising design or functionality. He is very organized and cleaned up every day. One of the things that we liked best about Rodney is that he does much of the work himself and was onsite whenever there was a sub-contractor onsite. Everything he did was to perfection.  The sub-contractors and suppliers he works with are excellent. He is an excellent communicator and is patient.  He talked with both of us every day.  He is also exceptionally good at listening, one of the best charactaristics a contractor can have, as that is one of the major keys to satisfying the customer.  He is also exceptional in that he makes money by doing quality work and by providing excellent sub-contractos and suppliers, not by trying to make money by doing it the cheapest or fastest. I could go on and on.  If you want the best hire Rodney, he's not just Preferred, he's essential.

Rodney is professional,meticulous and is willing to work with you if budget is an issue.

The entire project lasted 8 months. Overall, it was fantastic!  Rodney's subcontractors are great and the crews were professional and well supervised.  Rodney is the best contractor - period!  I would not have even considered taking on this size project without him.  He was delighted to come assess the house before we purchased it and maintained a great, positive attitude throughout.  His eye for design is very good and he always generates multiple alternatives to resolve the inevitable situations that arise! 

Rodney did a terrific job.  He has a very good sense about design and esthetics and is an excellent problem-solver, with lots of ideas about how to resolve any design and construction problem I had.  I am very happy with all the work he did.  He was very professional, cleaned up every day, and did beautiful work.

Our front porch needed to be replaced because it was not done correctly the first time (when the house was built).  It looks like it had been repaired but not replaced in the past.  The footing were not done correctly which caused the concrete (about 18" thick) to drop off on one side which also pulled the overhanging roof down.  They tore out the whole porch and front walk in order to repair/replace them properly.  They leveled the roof line and fixed the footings before redoing the porch and sidewalk.  After tearing everything out they also noticed that the stairs to the front door were not done to code (they were all different heights) and they took the time to make sure they were to code this time.

From the first few minutes of the first meeting with Rodney, my wife and I felt he was an honest man who takes great pride in his work. We were not wrong. Rodney has a great deal of energy and is genuinely excited about his work. He had excellent suggestions not only in the initial design but througout the project. Rodney's relationships with various vendors and trades made for a comfortable experience as we went about selecting fixtures and finishes, as well as confidence that he was happy with the work of the subs. Rodney also took on several change requests in stride and was up front about the costs and impacts. Rodney has a bit of a creative streak which is what enables him to make great suggestions, but at times was a challenge for my wife and I as corporate professionals. That said, I cannot imagine working with a better GC or a better guy. We would without question use him again. The final outcome was fantastic - anyone who has seen the bathroom comments on the wonderful finish work.

I was very comfortable that everything was done correctly; no shortcuts and no just covering problems up.

Preferred Home Repair discovered serious structural problems with my deck that other companies hadn't noticed. Basically, years in the soil had caused rot to the degree that the deck could have collapsed at any time. The other contractors would have done work that would not have made any difference once the deck collapsed. Preferred was able to repair all structural problems and finish repairs to all decks to the degree they looked better than the original decks. I was constantly kept aware of costs and do not feel the costs were excessive to any degree. Rodney is a very detail oriented, thorough craftsman. I'll definitely have him back to do more work! I highly recommend Preferred Home Repair and Construction

Overall we are very pleased with the attention to detail and craftsmanship. We plan on hiring Preferred Home Repair and Construction again to complete our basement.

Awesome! This was a very big project and it was completed 3 years after the home was originally built but looks like it was completed at the time of initial construction. Rodney has tremendous experience and offered great design ideas. He did much of the framing and installation work himself but also used a number of other contractors for portions of this project. He is a perfectionist who has high standards of quality for his own work and for those he employs on the job. Every "punch list" item we encountered was completed before Rodney finished the job. He is honest and dependable so I trusted him to be in my home even when I couldn't be there. He's the first call I'd make for any new project. Worth every penny!

I cannot imagine how this could have gone any better. I was in California for most of this Colorado construction. We made changes by telephone or email; daily communication was the norm. Billing was efficient and understandable. Rodney's attention to detail, personal expertise, and knowledge of all the trades are truly remarkable. He and his staff are equally dependable, friendly, and super-competent. I would not consider using another contractor.
