Al is by far the most professional, responsive, and detail-oriented contractor I've ever worked with! He runs the family business with his boys, and they do much of the work themselves. The subs they hired were just as professional, skilled, and courteous as they were. The work done was top-notch, and has earned the admiration of other professionals we've hired (painter, electrician, etc.) Al responded to my every text, email, and phone call, and consulted with me when anything needed to be decided or changed. He was flexible with my chaotic work schedule, and was able to fit our house in between other jobs his team was working on. Al works with Pro-Source supplies, and I was impressed with the salespeople there when I was choosing tile, countertops, and cabinets. The one or two times an issue arose with granite or tile, Al communicated with Pro-Source and helped resolve things. All around A+ team, very highly recommended!! We will be hiring them again for sure.

Al and I had discussed many projects over the course of several months for our previous home. We decided to purchase my husband's 60 year old family home and so the focus moved to the 'new' home. We met a couple of times to discuss the job and scope the project out and Al was always on time and very professional. I appreciated his patience as I asked for yet another tweak to the plan. After finalizing the scope, Al and the crew (all family members) began work in mid-December. The complete gut of the kitchen and 'master' bath entailed removing what were exterior walls (remodels had made the walls 'interior' walls, relocating plumbing and removing ceilings. Throughout the process Al or Rob frequently consulted with me as issues or questions arose. They were very creative when it came to solving the many challenges we faced during this project. Let's face it, a sixty year old home with plaster walls and previous remodels that were not exactly completed correctly provided for some interesting times. Through it all I never doubted they would figure out a quality solution. I very quickly came to value the recommendations they made with respect to the project such as when it made sense to take out a ceiling versus trying to repair it. Al always had a smile and a "we can do that" response when I asked for one more thing. Al didn't seem to mind too badly the texts at odd hours or on weekends when I thought of a question or had a concern. The end result is a place which my husband and I plan to have as our last home. The home is small; with their help I feel we maximized its potential. As others have said, they always arrived time, were professional and left the work site neat, which they didn't necessarily need to do since we weren't living in the house. In order to be available to answer those ever present questions, I worked out of the house and the guys were very respectful of this situation. With respect to the cost, I rated Integrity Builders a B simply because I didn't speak with anyone else and I felt the price was very fair considering the effort and quality. They had completed work for two of my neighbors and that was good enough for me. I am also very confident that they didn't nickel and dime me for every little thing...if they could work in a small request while they were already here they did. Furthermore, Al recommended quality contractors for work such as electrical and heating/cooling; it seems quality and integrity attract the same. In the end, this was a 3 month adventure we will embark upon again. Our funds ran out before our projects; Integrity Builders will definitely be back.

My wife and I truly had a great experience with this company and would recommend them without hesitation.

Al & his crew did a great job for us. They were prompt, went above & beyond what was asked of them. Always cleaned their work area at the end of each day. They finished this project before the estimated finish date & were concerned about keeping our expenses as low as they could. I have referred them to others & will continue to do so.

Al gave us the lowest quote and also gave us a great job. He tore down the previously unsafe wheelchair ramp and rotting front porch. In their place he put in a ramp with a safe, smooth incline and rebuilt the front porch so it looks brand new. Al did the job quickly, professionally and still remained a friendly down home guy. I hope to have him do work for us again.

I chose another contractor.

Awesome! See statement above.

I got several bids from him to tear off T111 siding form the out side of my home and replace it and gavle of other wall with hardie board, he was also supposed to install 2 electric switches near my horse barn. The bid included "installi extra studs in gable of a previously sided" He also promised to give me a bid to replace the roof on the barn with metal. The bid was $4800 for the exterior wall of my house. I signed the bid and gave it to his stepson who said, "dont worry we will take care of you". They came and put one stud in wall previously sided and told me I would need to give them $550 that day to start. I gave them the money only to be told on the phone later, they werent coming back and doing any more and the $550 went to a $250 hourly rate never before discussed !! The whole wall they were to demo and replace was never touched and they kept $550 out of the $4800 bid and did not do the work. SEE photos enclosed. They should be called NO INTEGRITY BUILDERS.........They are not telling the truth about any of this and took my money. They made a trip to bid the job since they said they offered free bids as every company I got a bid from did. The day they came and asked for the $550, they were supposed to be ready to work on the wall they bid, which they never even started. I had to hire another builder to do it. I learned that you should never hire someone who only has 1 report. I did not change my mind ever on this job, I hired him, gave his stepson the signed contract and gave him the $550 he asked for which I thought was for materials for my job. His wife whose name the business license is in which the county told me, not the builder, told me they had to get the permit for me. This was not true as I got it myself for the next builder. They told me they did all their own work, but the whole morning they were at my house, the dad, stepson and sons friend, the dad was on the phone talking to someone about having to leave to supervise subcontractors on another job, after he told me he doesn't hire subcontractors, he does his own work. He did leave and told his stepson to ask me for the money and told me they'd be back to do finish the work. They never came back and cashed my checks. I would like to add photos of the mess they left where all they did was put one coat of spackle on a hole and never sanded it out or finished it. This was a different area than where i got the permit on. The roofer who referred him, which is the whole reason I hired him, said he would never refer him again ! I would never have hired someone with only 1 report without the roofers referral. He thought he knew him. Obviously he didn't really. I would like to research why the builder himself doesn't hold the contractors license like he told me he did. It was his wife's license after all according to the county. I am sure they will never give my money back, but I do intend to turn him over to the state building licensing dept. The public should be protected from being ripped off. I guess I am lucky it was $550 and not $5000, but that was $550 I couldnt give to the next builder who actually did great work. I will be writing a report on the good builder who has many reports with angies list that are all positive. The new builder I hired can attest that none of the previous bid was done when he arrived. The public should be protected from builders like "Integrity Builders"

Al Brooker is the president. Al showed up exactly when he said he would for the estimate. He only wanted a third of the estimate to start. Either he or his son were here during all the work. Every day when they finished they cleaned up their mess. We were at work each day so they were here alone, and they called almost every day to let us know how they were progressing. They finished the job when they said they would. They even fixed a leaky outdoor faucet and brought the recycle bin up from the curb. I would definately call them again.
