Get matched with top carpenters in Avoca, IN

"The good: Hired Dan on April 3, 2025 to demo our old deck (24x~20) and unpermitted sunroom (12 x 12) and build a new deck (25x10). He quoted us $10000 for the demolition and $4000 for the deck build + Materials. On April 16, we discovered substantial rot in our band board (2 x 12 around the foundation). Dan offered to replace it with pressure treated lumber for an additional $2000. Deck was mostly finished on April 23. The bad: of the 3 projects Dan agreed to, none of them have been finished. For example, aluminum fascia was never reinstalled along the roof line where the sunroom previously attached to the house and siding and a gate were never installed on the new deck. Worst of all, when replacing the band board, they cut an electrical wire. When troubleshooting why outlets weren't working in the living room, I discovered a live unshielded wire in my crawl space and a penis drawn in the insulation. As of May 22, attempts to reach Dan since have been unsuccessful. Very disappointed."

"This is only a limited summary. Buyer, especially seniors, BEWARE! Average product, but very poor installation quality and workmanship. BCI-BathPlanet of Indianapolis arrived an hour late without calling, and no return calls from the office, sales rep., or service manager. They damaged three areas of an adjoining wall into another room using a Sawzall. And, they left without telling me. I had to cleanup the paint and drywall debris. The next day they arrived, and I showed they the damage. They admitted they damaged the wall using the Sawzall. I withheld $500 of my payment. It should have been at least $4,000. They promised the following business day, a Monday, they would have someone call to make the repair that day, but they did not show and did not call. When I called their Customer Service, BCI-BathPlanet would not return my calls total of about 20 times. I had to stop by their office twice but they claimed "there was nothing they could do" to make the service manager return calls. They refused to have the owner call me. Our sales rep. used deceptive sales practices by claiming to be a part-owner. The office told me he was not a part owner. When I visited the office they said I could only talk with the service manager. Shower shelves fell off the walls. Caulking was very poor. After almost three months they finally attempted to make some initial repairs. So.e were satisfactory, but others were so bad I had them remove parts of the decorative trim because they said "it was the best they could do"."

"GREAT! Carlos and his team from Decorative Concrete got to my job when they said they would and did not stop until it was completed. They were professional and polite on the job. They also took care of my yard and property to put it back better than they found it. I would hire them for any other concrete work I may need done in the future. I highly recommend Decorative Concrete."

"These windows are solid, well built and look great. I will be ordering more for my house."

"Please DO NOT HIRE. Andrew Spears preys on women. I had hired him for various small jobs to prepare my rental for sale. He claimed he could do and finish all work within two days , charging 500 a day plus supplies. He never showed on the first day but his two young sons did. They were limited to the extent of work they could do, stating their dad had the tools they needed to do the work. They had left the tub surround they had pulled out on my hard wood floors without any tarps. When I called Andrew to ask why he never called or showed he explained he had another project, when I asked if he was charging for a full day he said would only charge half day. On second day my husband came with me and Andrew's demeanor changed abruptly. After first day of work Andrew asked for 500 to pay for supplies, when asked for receipts he claimed it will all be on an invoice after work is done. Third day he asked for three days pay and still hadn't started vent on water heater, denying he said he would only charge half day for the day he never showed. Then proceeds to say I will have pay additional money when he comes back to fix water heater flue. His work was poor, left mess, totally disrespectful to my property,cut tile in our family room, when he was asked to come clean his mess and repair his poor work he had an attitude, was cleaning his construction mess with my home vacuum, my vacuum is now broke. He tried to make me feel guilty and accused my husband and I of lying. When asking for receipts he said the receipts were on bathroom wall referring to his work. As time went on and we hired others to repair his poor work we have found more and more flaws in his work, he had left hot wires in attic, fire hazard, tub tile he used wrong grout, uneven, did not seal and left too large of gap for the tub glaze guy to caulk, was never able to put recess lights in that he said he would, left drooping in ceiling where he drywall patched, list goes on , again when we approached him about the poor work had an attitude and argumentive. When he never showed for last part of job we asked him not to come back. Then he became defensive and threatened to put a lien on my house. Please stay away from this contractor."
