$2,800,000
Rushed the whole job. Hired painters he had never used. Destroyed my entire house knowing we still needed to live in it. Didn?t clean up after he left. Didn?t completed job. Sloppy detail work see photos. I want the work completed but I don?t want him back in my house. Please do not hire. Menards didn?t even want him in there store anymore. Quoted me an extremely low price just to get job. So many things he left out.

contractor measure incorrectly resulting in wrong product ordered and then told me is my fault. Did not have proper truck to pick up product so I had to rent a pick up truck to get product to my house.

They told me that they could not find the wood and still charged me money and left. I hired someone else and they found the parts that they said they could not find. Assembled a part of the gazebo just to say that they could charge labor. I would never recommend them to anyone.

I couldn t be more pleased with this job. Fernando was professional, helpful, efficient, and he and his crew did an amazing job. They completed a very large project in under the time promised, right on budget. Everything was completed beautifully. He was always available for questions whenever we had them, they were always on time, worked very hard, and did outstanding work. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs work done in their home.

I asked him to caulk windows and it was the most over paid job I've ever had done. He started caulking and then it started to rain. He wanted to get the job done and didn't take the time to do it right. I have caulk that needs to be redone because it has lifted away from the window. Because of the rain, caulk washed out of the window and clean up afterwards made a mess of my deck.

Lara was friendly and very accurate in measuring. H e even went out of his way to pick up materials. He was so accurate there was very little waste. He answered all questions and explained as he went along and offered suggestions for later basement work. Would use again and recommend to neighbors. On time and a great job
