EASY BUILDERS

Everything went smoothly. We were happy with the results.

This is our second project done by Easy Builders.  They are on the expensive side but they are worth it.  They are prompt, courteous, and efficient.  John was in touch with us every day until the job was done, and then he came himself to inspect the work.  They had done the remodeling on our kitchen 4 years ago and we had the same satisfactory result, which was why we called them again for this job.

I had water seepage in my basement.  They did good.

This builder in conjunction with a architect, Carrie Jeffers, was asked to come and provide an estimate on refinishing a basement, adding a bathroom, and installing a set of stairs. We ask him to be as accurate with his estimations as possible, not conservative, because our decision to move forward on the $3,000 architect plans depended on his estimate, i.e., if the estimate was over 60k we would not be interested in moving forward.  He provided us with a 40k-50k estimate for the work, on that information we went ahead with the architecture plan.  After the plans were complete he took over 3 weeks to provide an estimate which was 75k, significantly higher than he originally estimated.  When we asked him to provide a explanation or break down of the costs he simply said that the increase was due to the drawings made by the architect, although the plan was the same as discussed.  Dumbfounded we asked the architect to scale back the drawings to be more inline with the 40-50k he estimated, however, after weeks of back and forth (we started this process in Aug and its now Nov), his estimation still do not make any logical sense. Scaling back significantly he dropped his estimation to 63k, cutting the refinishing of the basement he only dropped the price to 57k (basically to add stairs and a bathroom).  We found him to be unresponsive and unethical.  Not willing to provide explanations on his pricing, it seems that he is working with the architect to tell people what they want to hear so they move forward, a classic bait-and-switch.
