very pleased.
come out and look at the house. It was very important to me that the contractor
showed up on time as I am from out of town and working remote to be able to
meet. Mr. Hathaway showed up on time (only one that did). He measured, listened
to what we wanted and made suggestions as well. Several weeks later we received
the most thorough estimate of any we received. I was so surprised that he
remembered every little detail that I requested. He also added things that I
didn't think of. ...so that began our journey. We added 2 bedroom and a
bathroom across the back, went from a flat roof to a hip aluminum roof, remodel
the remainder- I mean like a total tear out and remodel :-). Through the
process we meet with Mr. Hathaway several times..mostly over the weekend as we
had to come from out of town. He was always on time! The work:
1.Is totally amazing
2. Great quality
3. Attention to details
4. Mr. Hathaway ensures perfection.
The house is beautiful. Every time we walk in we have to say how wonderful it
is and what a great job they did. At the end of the project we decided we
wanted to paver the drive and the back. You'd think they would be ready to be
done with us, but were so very nice and got the job done quickly. I couldn't be
more happy with the professionalism and perfection in the results.
One other thing to note ? I changed or added things several times.
I would call Carol and tell her my thoughts and we would work it out. She
always told me no problem and handled by request promptly. She was a joy to
work with and I will miss our weekly talks J.
I contacted this contractor for a quote along with 2 others. Oak Tree came in with the middle bid but I liked the plan he had for what we wanted and the suggestions he had for a better building.
He and his crew were very professional and did an outstanding job of construction. It was the best construction of any building I have ever seen. They went beyond code requirements such as using 2 x 6 instead of 2 x 4 because he felt the building needed the stability.
Their goal was to build a quality building at a reasonable price the way we wanted.
They always let us know of any delays and kept us informed of what was going on.
They cleaned up every day and after the job was complete.
The only problem they had was with the truss company. This company did not deliver the trusses on the date that was promised so it delayed the construction at no fault of Oak Tree.
Oak Tree had the nicest contractor, crew, and office staff.
It is a quality and outstanding company that provides quality and outstanding construction.
If you need construction, I would highly recommend Oak Tree.
We will be doing some more projects at our home and will definitely be using Oak Tree.
Oak Tree was very professional. They completed the job on time and with budget. We would recommend them for you remodeling consideration.
Where oak tree stands out from the rest of the Panama City contracting crowd is their responsiveness, timeliness, and general professional demeanor. Sadly, that is rare in this town. They were quick and detailed with written, accurate estimates and change orders and freely offered opinions when asked.
Timeliness of the work was fantastic. They called when they said they would call and ACTUALLY showed up when they said they would show. Quick and easy fixes to minor issues along the way. Also sadly uncommon for this area.
They were not cheap, but not drastically overpriced.
When asked about other, future projects they clearly indicated what work they were comfortable performing and suggested others for things either outside their expertise or that would be significantly cheaper through others.
The overall quality of the work was acceptable. Certainly not up to full-fledged OCD standards but not at all shoddy, rushed, or slapped together. They did good work and stand behind it.
So far, oak tree has stood head and shoulders above the other clowns in this town that have either done work here or bidded jobs or just never called back.
Because of our time constraints we insisted that the start date be fixed well in advance and that the work would proceed as quickly as possible until finished (i.e., no starting and then pulling workers for other jobs!); Ed's office manager Carol assured me that
although she knew of other contractors who did that, Ed did not’t! He was even willing to have that put into the contract.
Ed started on the agreed start date, and every day the workers returned to put in a full day's work. I was impressed with the way that the work was scheduled so that the demolition, preparation, shower installation, plumbing, shower door installation, etc., all proceed smoothly and seamlessly. Having professionally taught and performed program/project planning and execution, I was impressed!
In addition, some things that prospective customers should consider would include:
- Perhaps first and foremost, if you want a “quick and dirty” job at a low price – go elsewhere! Ed gave us a fair price considering the quality of the materials and his workmen and subcontractors, but we could have gotten an inferior (not custom) job done for less. Our condo is a rental one and so must withstand a lot of wear and tear, and we expect that we and our guests will enjoy that shower for decades!
- Whatever Ed says, he will do (a man of great integrity). I know this not just from my experience, but from hearing it from others whose opinions I value.
- Every day the workers were there right on time and always gave us good estimates of when they would be through for that particular day
- Ed originally said that the work would probably take 5-7 business days, and he was right on there, needing only the 6th and 7th days to do some final touch-up to ensure that the work was first class.
- We took pictures of the work in progress and were impressed with their attention to quality! In so many areas they could have cut corners, but never did – instead they appeared to have done more than would have been required!
- His workers and subcontractors all were clean-cut and spoke good English, so communication was never an issue.
- Every day at the end of their work the contractors swept and vacuumed up, leaving the place as clean as humanly possible.
- The workers were more than courteous, ending almost every sentence with “sir” or “ma’am” and were very receptive to our questions and desires.
If you want a first class job and are willing to pay a little extra for it, then Oak Tree deserves your consideration.
