They were contracted to replace our shutters and paint the exterior of our home. It took them 3 months just to paint the exterior! There were messes made of our yard and they took down two trees. Our drive was pavement was cracked in multiple places. They constantly left our hose water on and broke our front water faucet. He took 1/2 the cost (0ver &5000) to order the shutters but then he never ordered them or refunded our money. Yes the job was eventually finished (sans shutters) but it was a very tedious and disruptive process.
Response from TDE Inc Construction & Painting
"Yes this was a very difficult project due to the extreme slope of the lot making it extremely difficult to access the left & right sides of the house. We used a 60' boom lift & due to the slope the lift got stuck several times on the natural mulched side of the house requiring wreckers to be called to winch the lift out. The lift did inadvertently damage two of the scrub trees that were naturally growing in the side yard. the lift did crack the already multi cracked drive which we paid our concrete contractor to repair seemingly to the customers satisfaction. As far as the composite shutter deposit, it was refunded on the final invoice due to an unexplained contemptuous interaction with Mr. customer which let me know that we didn't need to do anymore work for this customer other than what was already started which was a huge exterior painting project that we did complete, so we cancelled the shutter project & did refund the deposit in full by applying it toward the painting project & refunding approx. $ 2,000. of it with a company check. Ms. Customer agreed to correct the review to reflect this error but hasn't after a couple of months of agreeing to do so. Nothing was ever said to me about the water faucet until i read the review & communicated via email asking the customer to send me any repair invoice(s) & i would review it/them for consideration, but again after two months we haven't received. We are sorry for the difficulties with the project but feel that the paint job is a quality one & will last for a long time. We do have a long track record of successfully completing projects to our customers satisfaction over a long period of time & have many excellent reviews on multiple sites which makes this review disturbing to us & we will strive to correct the areas that need improvement on our future projects."

Tom Edge and his team are outstanding. They did a fabulous job remodeling our kitchen. Our 34-year old cabinets look much better than when they were originally installed. Electrician, plumber, painters, and related subcontractors work as a seamless team. Communication was excellent and everyone was easy to work with. They take pride in their work. Unlike some contractors who tell you what they can't do, TDE accomplishes what the customer wants if it is at all obtainable. Highly recommended-would rate them the best in my 43 years of home ownership in different locales.

Work somewhat delayed because of the rain. Can't expect paint to dry if it's raining. The workers did a great job. Went above & beyond what I requested: they wiped down the ceiling to eliminate mold, power washed wicker tables, carefully removed the porch swing to avoid paint splatters, & tucked canvas under all spots being painted.

Tom came and assessed what we needed. He was frank and told us since it was a minor job he will let us know exactly when things will be done. He managed to have the electric part for the new drier and the platform to be done the same day.

It went extremely well. Tom Edge, the owner was great to work with. He wanted us to be happy, and was prompt on returning any calls or texts. His construction supervisor over the project, Joel, was also great. He was a perfectionist in getting things done right, and explaining to us why or why not certain things could be done. We were more than pleased with their work!

Tom and his whole crew are the ultimate professionals. They provided extremely detailed quotes, guided us through the purchasing choices for materials to be used, and let us know immediately of any changes needed in the scope of work. They found a fairly major problem with previous foundation work that we had done. Thankfully that contractor fully honored their warranty. Tom's crew met them on site and essentially "supervised" their repairs to be insure the integrity of the job. They also found significant rot in the walls around our chimney and provided options for remediation. Their communication and pricing structure were extremely clear. You could probably get simple work done more cheaply, but would likely pay for it in the long run!
Response from TDE Inc Construction & Painting
"Thank you for your beautiful review of our company's work & customer service. In the construction business it does take what sometimes seems like a higher price than is necessary to perform up to our customers standards. We had rather be know as an above average contractor from a quality & customer service standpoint than to always be the lowest price. I know you understand that. We appreciated being able to help with these projects for you both. Thanks for the opportunity to have served you. Sincerely, Tom"

"thank you for your overall A for rating your experience with us. i would like to have had an A on Pricing as well. Its almost impossible to deliver the quality & service that we offer & be called cheap at the same time. We don't apologize for our price as that is how we pay our co-workers a good living wage so that they can adequately provide for their families & obligations. i know you understand this & more importantly appreciate our service & quality. Thank You, Tom"

I could not be happier with the process and the result! Tom always answered his phone, never missed an appointment, kept me updated all the time. His crew was topnotch, both in the work that they performed, and also their attitude. They started on the day scheduled, they finished on the day scheduled. They cleaned after themselves at the end of every work day. If a problem aroused, they fixed or send for someone to come and fix it same day, and I live far. Dealing with Tom was pleasant, and I had no surprises on my bill.  Everything was disclosed beforehand. No work was performed without my approval, and I was always informed of the costs. On top of it, TDE had the best pricing bid for the work. 
I am happy I found a contractor I can count on and trust. 
My husband and I have many projects planned for our home, and I will be contacting Tom Edge for every one of them.

There was only one hitch, and it was not the fault of TDE, but the kitchen floor manufacturer/installer ( not a sub-contractor) - I might not have even noticed it, but not only did TDE catch it, but they insisted the floor be replaced at no cost to me. Joel Rinckey's attention to detail is amazing. Every one on the crews worked really hard. The job was competed by the time promised.

We wanted our deck to be pressure washed and then painted/sealed. We first made contact in early May. Even after agreeing that someone would come out to assess the property, this didn't happen until two weeks later, and we were given last-minute notice that someone was coming (like, 15 minutes notice-luckily we had left our gate open). Still, the price was right, so we signed a contract May 26th with the expectation the work would take place by early July, as fit our schedule. No one came to our house to do the work and it was only after several weeks (and prompting on our end) that someone showed up unexpectedly on August 7th and powerwashed our deck (I was on an international flight and saw that I had been emailed/called about a half an hour before the work, again luckily, my husband was able to open the gate). We waited a couple weeks after the powerwashing had been done with no sign of anyone coming to paint, so finally cancelled that part of the contract and paid $275 for a powerwash that probably could have been done much faster and cheaper if  all we wanted was a powerwash in the first place. All our dealings were cordial, and the deck looks good enough-I just wish the job could have actually been completed, and on time.
Response from TDE Inc Construction & Painting
"I'm sorry that your experience was not up to par with us on the pressure washing of your deck. We were extremely busy during this period as well as short of personnel, so I want to apologize for your not receiving our usual high standard of service. No excuses, we should have done better. Mr. Angie's List subscriber said that the quality of the cleaning job was excellent. We certainly fell short on communication & getting the work installed in a timely manner. We will continue to make strides in these areas. Please accept my sincere apologies! Tom Edge"

We interviewed several contractors before deciding to hire TDE construction to finish our basement. We are ,and could not be any happier with our decision to hire Tom Edge and his team. From the start we noticed the attention to detail,whether it was Tom Edge himself, or his employees. They came up with ideas to improve the design, and layout before they started work. Once they started,the work completion came in perfect layers. It was fascinating to watch..
The core team that worked on our basement (Joel,Chris,Michael,and Wayne) were punctual,polite, and professional at every point. If there was a change or delay it was communicated immediately. They even helped us clear out the work area before they started (for that alone they receive major points). In the end, I said to my wife as we stood in the finished basement. "This is above expectations". 
.I am not one to write reviews,but this type of work deserves a review. We have never been happier with a home project. We have recommended TDE construction to our neighbors. Thanks Tom.

TDE Construction was great!  Definitely the best contractors/renovators I've worked with since I bought my house a decade ago.  Tom and Joel had great suggestions for saving money and hassle.  Everything came out SO much nicer than I thought it would.  They exceeded my expectations for sure.  Arrived early and worked full days.  Highest recommendation.

Tom and the TDE crew did an excellent job with our remodeling and repair work. I had never hired a contractor or had such a large job done on my house before. Out of several contractors that I contacted for estimates, TDE was the only one to follow through with it. Tom was very responsive through our many revisions to the scope of our project, and was willing to put forth the extra time and paperwork that were necessary for us to get our renovation loan. Even though there were a couple small issues with work done by subcontractors, it was easy to get the problems fixed and all of the work was completed in a timely manner. Our basement and screened porch turned out so nice, it almost felt like we bought a new house. I feel very fortunate to have hired TDE and recommend them 100%. They will be at the top of our list to contact for any future work we may need done.

"I am not sure what we did or didn't that prompted you to rate us as B's & a C for our service to you our customer. Most of our customers rate us very highly. We do get a few B's mostly on price but are generally highly rated on our quality, responsivness, quality & professionalism, so of course we are dissapointed to receive what we consider to be low marks. If you feel this strongly I would have hoped that you would've let me know that you were not happy with us before giving us a rating that could discourage other cutomers from calling TDE. Hopefully they will read many of our other great reviews. If there is something that we can do to make your experience with us any more positive, please call me at our office to discuss. Thank you for your respone to this request. Tom Edge"

All work was high quality and completed in a professional manner.
Response from TDE Inc Construction & Painting
"Dear Customer & Angie's List Member, You have given us several nice reviews for different jobs that we have installed for you for which we are grateful. I am disappointed that we received a 'B' this time in the price line when you've always given us an 'A' in the past. We cannot do the quality & professional work that you have raved about in the past without charging our standard price per hour & marking our material up to cover our overhead so we can pay our bills, otherwise we will go out of business. So many contractors have gone out of business trying to sell at bargain basement prices. We are not in that business. We are in the business of trying our dead level best to deliver a product that meets & hopefully surpasses our customers expectations at the best price we can offer & in order to do that our prices have to stay at a level that allows us to cover all of our overhead expenses & hopefully make a reasonable profit. For value received, our prices are reasonable. Ask some of our customers who have occasionally tried a bargain basement contractor & came back to us due to the problems/sorrows that caused in their life. The same item at Walmart & Target is a bargain if one is less than another, but when it come to contractors, no two deliver the same product even though the project description may be the same. Rating us low on the price scale may cause some potential customers not to give us a try & if they are bargain basement shoppers when it comes to contractors, then that is fine. We greatly value your business over the years."

True to my expectation, Joel and crew did an amazing job and worked with me to get just the look I wanted in the master suite.  They pay meticulous attention to detail and clean up incredibly well when they leave.  Joel actually designed a mantle and fireplace surround for me based on several pictures I showed him.  While they were here, we discovered a leak in the downstairs bathroom.  They also repaired and repainted that. 

The price was fair and they finished on time.  Joel and Tom communicated with me throughout the project.

I will definitely use them for the next phase.


Response from TDE Inc Construction & Painting
"Dear Customer, Thank you for the mostly great review. We surely enjoyed working on your project & seeing it turn out so beautifully. It is our pleasure to see this happen over & over again with our cutomers. I hope the 'B' in the 'price' category does not mean that you feal that you did not get the value for your money spent. Most of our customers tell us that they feel like they got more than they expected. To deliver the type of quality, responsiveness & professionalism that you did like, requires that we charge an amount that allows us to cover all of our overhead & be able to pay all of our bills in a timely manner. So we know the rates that will meet that goal of taking care of our responsibilities & being able to stay in business. Many have gone out of business trying to be the low bidder. Our goal is to take good care of our employees so they can have a good place to work & take care of their families in a responsible way as well as deliver a product & level of service that meets & exceedes our customers expectations. So far we have been able to do that for the most part. Please understand, we never charge more that we feel like to have to to accomplish our goals as stated above. Thank you for the great work you have given to us in the past. I sincerely hope we can be a help to you in the future. Tom Edge"

On time for pricing meeting. Removed rusty old gas barbeque and capped gas line. On time next morning removed complete 12' x 16' deck with two sets of stairs. Following day installed all new deck with customized stairs and hand rail. Two man crew Joel and Chris did a outstanding job, leaving the area clean. I would recommend TDE FOR ANY WORK.

The work was professionally done and the crews were
fantastic. Tom was always available to take questions and treated our job as if
it were the pressing work of the day. He also handled problems immediately--the
cabinet had been painted with the wrong paint finish initially. It took one
call and it was repainted first thing the next morning. As is often noted:
there are always problems/mix-ups with any job, therefore how a company handles
them is the difference between a mediocre and a great one. I would definitely
hire Tom and TDE Construction again and would recommend them to anyone who
needs any kind of work done around the house.
