MATHIS CONSTRUCTION INC.

Sloppy work. Unreachable. Not responsive now that the work is complete. Could not give explanation of what was done and why.

They were timely, clean, and respectful of our family's space during construction. We, at times, were a bit too hands-on, but he was patient with our OCD level of interest in the project. Overall, there was just one complaint, and he worked to resolve the issue as best he could. My parents have worked with him on a number of projects, and we would highly recommend him to others.

We were appalled to read the review that was submitted from another member. This is not the Brian Mathis that we know and have trusted with our home. I never thought anybody could say something negative about Brian Mathis and his company. The first job we hired Mathis Construction for was 8 years ago when we first moved into our home. Our house is 35 years old and was in much need of updating. Brian knocked down a couple of walls to open up our kitchen and replaced the countertops. He also rebuilt some upper cabinets that were removed to fit under our breakfast bar. This was a band aid until we could afford to remodel the entire kitchen. Brian had given us an estimate prior to starting the job and when he gave us the bill at the end we were amazed to find that we owed him less than what the estimate was. Brian has done several small jobs at our home with the most recent being 11/22/09 (Sunday). We had a pipe leaking in our basement. Even though it was Sunday Brian came to our house and took care of the problem. He knew it couldn't wait and he didn't let us down! It came time to finally totally remodel our kitchen in August, 2009. We couldn't imagine calling anybody to do this other than Mathis Construction. We have heard many horror stories of kitchen remodels. Our story is a very pleasant one. Brian and his staff showed up promptly when they said they would. They cleaned up any mess that was accumulated during each day. They would haul away the garbage and sweep and vacuum everything before they went home each day. One day Brian and his crew weren't here but there was one of his subcontractors. Brian stopped at our house at the end of the day to make sure the subcontractors didn't leave a mess. We can't say how much the little things like that mean when you are going thru a kitchen remodel and trying to adjust without having the appliances that we take for granted daily. It is the finishes that make a room stand out. We had some difficult crown molding that had to be transitioned together. Brian took great care in making all of this look seamless. We get so many compliments on something that most contractors would not even consider spending much time on. Our entire kitchen remodel from demolition to total completion was 7 weeks. This is amazing! We absolutely love our kitchen!!! The quality of work that Brian and his staff provide can NOT be beat! When getting this level of quality you would expect to pay far greater than the average contractor yet Brian's costs continue to be competitive and reasonable and often come in below budget.

I told Mathis the woodwork was uneven in March, 2007, and he said the floor was uneven. Not true, but obviously he knew there was a problem. He did put blocks of wood by the beam to try to fix it, but they did very little. What a nightmare! Problems are still going on. The kitchen soffit joints are splitting for the 3rd or 4th time (I've lost count), and my old bedroom is 66 degrees with the house on 70, the other two won't go above 64, and when the doors are closed, one heats to 59. I have a trapezoid soffit, a slanted soffit across the south wall, and a soffit with a bulging end. Numerous ladybugs (dozens more than with my 36-yr.-old windows) are constantly flying around in the kitchen and basement. The bugs upstairs are now seldom there since Ed Kreis, my painter, caulked all the windows on the inside, because Mathis did not caulk any windows until I complained after the house was sided. He said it was the job of the man putting on the siding. And then not all windows were caulked, but it was too late to do a good job, especially since most of the replacement windows were not flush with the interior walls. There were big gaps. | **In regards to Mathis? comments: I am not a ?frequent flyer.? I have made four reports to the Better Business Bureau in the past 68 years, and they were all made since the Mathis Construction remodeling. One report did not deal with Mathis. The pictures speak for themselves and so do the 150+ people I've had go through this house. They are totally shocked! I now have had 220 popped drywall screws, 20 remain to be fixed. As you know the kitchen floor is an uneven mess because Mathis did such a poor job of trying to shore up the joist. I have photos showing how uneven the new 2nd floor bedroom and kitchen floor are. Four carpenters don't want the job fixing it, because they said it would all have to be ripped up. I am now awaiting a report from the Attorney General.

Bryan was fantastic to work with! He listened to all of our input and guided us in decision making when needed. He arrived on time, completed tasks in a timely manner, and maintained a clean and safe work environment. He responded to unexpected situations appropriately. He handled changes well. All of the subs were courteous, did a great job, and were very responsive. I would highly recommend him.
