Excellent. Dave, the representative returned our call right away. He also did not pressure us one way or another about doing certain ideas and even gave great suggestions. The work supervisor Jack was very diligent. This company did a thorough job and we will use them again. The workers were polite and on time and did not rush the job. The pricing was a little higher, but it was worth it because they did an outstanding job.
Description of Work: Removed drop ceiling and fluorescent lights and installed new ceiling and lighting in kitchen as well as repainted. They also gutted remodeled the bathroom. They installed new toilet, sink, tub and shower as well as custom cabinets.

We bought a condo/store front property and got it set up for business. They did a very good job in all aspects of the work. They paid attention to details. For example, their taping job was terrific and they cleaned up well, too. I put a "B" in responsiveness simply because we were running one location while trying to get another one up and running and they had a hard time working around our schedule.
Description of Work: They took our 1,400 square foot store front and took it from nothing and installed everything from drywall, electricity, lighting, to tile. There was a small bathroom they created and finished as well.

I called Dave Belder the day before the work needed to be done. Our roof was being replaced and we learned at the last minute that the roofers could not install the skylight themselves. Dave agreed to come out at no notice and the workmen worked all day and did a beautiful job installing the skylight. This is the second time we've had work done from Samanco and I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else. They are professional, reliable and prompt.
Description of Work: Install Solatube skylight in bathroom, including ceiling fan and lighting fixture.

Cindi gave me a start date. Mark and Lester were at my door on that exact date at 8:00 a.m. They began each morning on time, cleaned up when they were done, and were professional throughout. The work is of very high quality (including creating oak columns and oak flooring!). They worked each day until the job was complete. The entire remodel (including removing the walls) took just six days -- the the workmanship is fabulous.
Description of Work: We needed a staircase supported and had two walls removed. They took care of the structural piece. Next, they removed the walls we requested and suggested (and then created) a beautiful floor plan. Between the appraisal and when the work actually began, I had decided I wanted to expand the work -- Dan took this in stride, was able to accomodate my request (and even helped me think through the totality of the project). They were so easy and wonderful to work with.

Dan was very professional and clearly very knowledgeable. I had selected 3 contractors who had all received high marks on Angie's List to quote. Dan's quote was the highest I received, almost $7,500 above the best price.
Description of Work: Gut and remodel a master bathroom, including installing a new air tub, a porcelain tiled shower with a bench and multiple shower heads, a double bowl vanity, recessed medicine cabinets, and new lighting. The quote included an $1,100 allowance for granite.

Dave was prompt for the estimate and was friendly. The cost was four times that of the people who we hired to put in the door for us and repair the doors. The ones who we hired also had superb marks on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Dave came and gave estimates on a number of items. I am just discussing the door here. He estimated $3900 to put in a steel front door and put one door on new hinges and adjust a third door.

Our main contact, Dan, was a little hard to reach, but he followed through on all his promises and gave some good advice. Although it took approximately four weeks between contracting with Samanco and then starting the actual work, it was well worth the wait. The workers started the job a couple days early, worked weekends, and finished the job well ahead of schedule. The same two guys did all the work (deck, cabinet, utility) so it was reassuring seeing the same faces every day rather than the "sub-contractor of the day". Every day they cleaned up their work area. The quality of the work is great and they paid close attention to detail. The work was done in the middle of July and they worked incredibly hard through the heat. Samanco's price came in right in the middle of the three other bids I received, but I decided on them based on reputation. Without question, I would rehire Samanco for additional work.
Description of Work: We had work performed in three areas. Replace wood deck, install dry bar and lighting, run water & gas utilities. The existing wood deck was removed and replaced with composite wood (approx. dimensions 25' x 4'). The dry bar and lighting work entailed installing wall and base cabinets, grouting & tiling backsplash, installing under cabinet lights, relocating electrical outlets, and installing a new track light. The utility work included penetrating through the existing roof and running natural gas and cold water from the existing lines in our utility room to the roof deck. Note: granite installation by separate contractor.

Samanco is a pleasure to work with. They are prompt, honest, and efficient; they do high quality work and are genuinely pleasant to work with. They take the time to explain everything, including why you might NOT want to have them do something that can wait or doesn't really need to be done. We bought a 100 year-old house in Ravenswood Manor which needed a few repairs before we could move in. Samanco scheduled a date that fit our schedule and finished on time despite a couple of surprises that included a crack in the foundation. The crack was discovered at noon; Samanco had it repaired by the best in the business by 9:00 that night.
Description of Work: We had carpet installed in the basement, several lights installed and all the wiring checked throughout the house, the crawl space repaired, the garage rewired, the foundation crack repaired and the drywall over the crack removed and then replaced. All within 2 days and all for about $5k. Couldn't recommend this company higher.

I called Samanco, told them what I needed, was told they were months behind. Dave,one of the salemen, called to set up a date. He came in, measured the area, and said he will draw up the contract and call me. He came back with the contract and, this being the beginning of the week, said they will be here the next week on Monday. I got a call on my cell phone, on Wednesday, from Dave saying the crew will be there tomorrow. We did a made scramble to get the rest of the furniture and stuff out of the room. At 7:30 A.M. the doorbell rang. The carpet went and construction began. They left us Friday with 2 coats on. Came back on Monday and finished the job.
Description of Work: We had carpet removed and a hardwood floor installed.

The project manager, Dave, was a very reasonable, polite, and overall extremely nice person and very easy to work with. He would listen to my concerns about the crew, come over if we were dissatisfied with something, and always tried to return my calls quickly if otherwise busy. The end result was pretty good. Because of these things, we will give them all A's and likely hire them again. There is one section of the floor, the last section, that is bumpier than the rest, perhaps because the crew may have been in a rush at that point. We had some difficulties with the crew. They expected to work from 8a to 3p and seemed to work slowly such that what was estimated to take 2d, took 4.5 days. Very unhappy when they had to stay until 5 or 6pm. They left smudge marks on the walls, nail scratches on my wooden bar, and didn't clean up very well after themselves. We had to hire a cleaning service to clean the basement a week later.
Description of Work: Basement remodeling. Removed existing tile, carpet, and padding. Filled in a hole in the concrete floor with cement. Laid 16" x 16" ceramic tile throughout the basement, about 700 square feet. Installed quarter round. Painted water-stained molding, as well as the quarter round. Also, put up three wall shelves and installed water external spigot. Cost above does not include tile and grout, which came to about $1500.

They were very easy to work with and listened to our needs. When we asked for them to do a few extra things that weren't part of our original quote-like hang our new mirrors, take out a bunch of anchors and patch them up, install dimmers and put in a sconce, they not only didn't charge us, but picked up what we needed and were happy accommodate. Their quality of work was better than the other company we used we used for a similar project and their quote was about 15% less than the other company for the same job.
Description of Work: We did a light remodel of our master bath. They installed slate tiles, took out out older cabinets, installed new ones, put in our vessel sinks & faucets and new lighting.

The existing deck and porch were removed in one day and the site was left very clean. The new structure was built in four days. It is far nicer than we could have imagined. Very solid. Even the inspector was impressed. This is the 2nd job we've had Samanco do for us (bathroom renovation was the other) and we couldn't be happier. These guys are very professional. Crews show up on time, are courteous and know what they're doing. I only wish I had found Samanco earlier. If I had I wouldn't have had anyone else do any work on our home.

Kirk Byers was our contact and he was great. He was very responsive and flexible. This project took close to a month to complete. The construction team worked long and hard and often worked Saturdays to ensure the project kept moving along. We are thrilled with the result. They even reinstalled our storage sheds, flower boxes, and benches. All in all, a very professional crew that we were pleased to do business with.
Description of Work: Our six unit condominium building had a porch that did not meet city code. After calling several companies for estimates, it being apparent that we needed to have the entire porch rebuilt. This was indeed a major project. from tear down to final city inspection.
