We have done a lot of work with Boaz Construction over the last 5 years. We purchased our home from Michael in South Broad Ripple/Meridian Kessler area in 2013. It was previously abandoned for several years and he did a complete interior gut and rebuild including all new electrical, plumbing, and expansion of the home's footprint. I had seen some of Michael's other homes in the area and loved the craftsmanship that is so evident in every one. He truly keeps the integrity of an old home but updates it will all the modern amenities anyone wants from a new home. I reached out to him to see if he had any available homes when we were ready to buy. The house he was working on was in early stages of construction with no walls up and only interior framing in place. He walked us through the plans and materials selected and we ended up purchasing it well before construction was complete. I would say it is the best decision we ever made and in just 4 years our home would sell for almost double what we purchased it for. Don't get me wrong, there are always bumps in the road of construction, but finding an honest and accountable contractor that will work through them with you is key, and that is what Michael is. After we purchased the home and had a great experience working with Boaz, we hired him a couple years later to build out our restaurant in Broad Ripple - the Garden Table. Again, a great experience where I was able to work alongside Micheal and his subs, making design changes last minute that they always not only accommodated, but gave their expert advice and collaborated with me on. Two years later we opened another restaurant downtown on Mass Ave that was double the footprint and had a much larger and more extensive kitchen and bar. The work speaks for itself if you have ever been in Garden Table Mass Ave. No detail was overlooked and the booth seating and all cabinetry was custom built by his team in their shop. It's hard to find that kind of craftsmanship with any General Contractor anymore. I would trust Boaz to build my next home or restaurant as our experience has been nothing less than top notch. I would be happy to talk to anyone looking into these services with Boaz Construction and give you more detail on our experiences with them over these past few years.

I hired Michael to install a small area of new hardwood and then sand and re-finish the entire first floor hardwood floors. One of the primary reasons that I hired him was because he quoted a 5 day job and could have them completed before we moved into the new house. We added on a separate project to tear down some decorative columns and frame them in, but only added that work with the caveat that it not delay the floor work. The work was complete in 19 days. A large section of the floor had to be redone at my expense because it was damaged when I moved the refrigerator that Michael's team left in the back hallway (on day 10) in order to allow my washer and dryer to be installed. Michael initially offered to pay part of the additional expense, but then withdrew the offer (most likely when he realized that he wasn't going to salvage any additional business with me.) He said he could bear no responsibility for the floor damage even though his team removed the fridge and didn't put it back. Michael is very disorganized and did a very poor job of keeping track of the progress of the job. The work and timeline suffered as a result. - Scott Davis On My Google review, Michael claims that I moved the refrigerator after they left which is untrue. I moved the refrigerator that they moved and left in my appliance room on day 10. The job was not complete for another 9 days. The job was supposed to be a 5 day job. Michael had no idea that his crew moved and left the refrigerator in the appliance room which is because he did not monitor the job as I would expect from a GC.
Response from Michael Boaz Construction LLC
"[Member Name Removed] moved his refrigerator by himself across newly refinished floors, Days after we left his home. The project was in fact completed on time. [Member Name Removed] also had a house full of movers when we left his home. I cannot be responsible for [Member Name Removed] moving his refrigerator and damaging his floors. We did everything we could to help [Member Name Removed], including fixing his floors, which he agreed to pay for. [Member Name Removed] then claimed he never agreed to pay for the repair. This review is littered with untrue facts & it has been almost 6 years since this happened."

It went so well, I cannot tell you how happy I am with the bath, adjacent room and the screen porch. Boaz Construction crews are attentive, considerate and personable. The job site was very tidy and since it was on the front of my house that was a big concern. The porch looks like it has always been there, in fact people stop and question just that. Michael is attentive to detail and I feel accepts no less on the work done on my home than what he would have done in his own. He does have great ideas and access to products I knew nothing about that have made the remodel a cut above remodels I have done in the past. Case in point, he found a door that matches my current back door in the kitchen, for the entry to the screen porch from the house. Had the glass replaced with safety glass and locks and hardware replaced. Those touches make a big difference in a historical neighborhood. The projects have taken time, but anything worth doing right takes time. This is the third home I have remodeled and Michael Boaz and company have make these projects, when completed, worth the time and inconvience that always occurs when upgrading your home. He is currently remodeling the master bath and we are discussing a kitchen in the future.

Prior to the start of the job, I discussed many particulars of the job and what I wanted to accomplish. Michael is very personable and assured me they do this kind of job all the time. He said it would take 3-4 weeks. It ended up taking 8 weeks, and that's with me repeatedly following up. (Part of this Michael will blame on the company providing the cultured marble pieces for the bathroom, but I believe they were only a very small part. The marble company is small and not very responsive on the phone.) I believe a lot of the delays were because Michael is not very organized and did not stay on top of the schedule. Examples are: (1) demolition of the bathroom, including removing the original window) took place on Tuesday and Wednesday. I had pre-scheduled a glass block window to be installed on Wednesday afternoon. Then no one from Boaz came to work until the following Monday for a couple of hours. (2) The shower surround was installed on a Saturday, but no one came to measure for the shower doors until 10 days later. No one came on several days and other days someone would work at my house for only an hour.
Michael's communication with his subcontractors and employees is not good. As the job began, I found that the subcontractors did not know the particulars I had discussed with Michael.
While for the most part, they were all pleasant and made some effort to keep the area clean, I was not impressed with any of Michael's subcontractors. I don't think anyone likes to go through a remodeling job because, I know, there are always unexpected issues that come up. I'm satisfied with my bathroom, and I'm glad the remodeling is over!
That said, IF I need more remodeling I would consider Michael Boaz again, BUT would insist on some kind of penalty clause if the job wasn't finished in the agreed time.

He is going to be installing some windows. I think that their prices are very fair. My experience with them has been very favorable. They have been attentive to my concerns. They are always available and I have been very happy with what they have done so far. I will continue to use them.

Michael Boaz Construction does impeccable work. Our master bathroom includes an entire wall of stacked stone and a custom vanity. Boaz has a great eye for detail and room layout. The finish work on our bathroom and entertainment center is perfect. Above and beyond Boaz Constructions' great craftsmanship, he has stayed in constant contact and fixed a few problems in our bath ( not due to his work!) without hesitating.

Overall, the project itself was long and a bit frustrating. However, the end product is really nice, which is why I indicate I would use them again.
I was referred to Mike via a mutual friend. We began conversations in October or so, and I believe I gave Mike the and quot;yes, let's do thisand quot; in late November. Waterproofing was performed in mid-December. And team Boaz showed up in early January. At the outset, Mike said he'd like to get the job done in 4 weeks but thought it better to err on the side of caution and estimated 6 weeks, which should have made the work done by late February. My basement proved to be very challenging for several reasons, likely because my house is nearly 90 years old. But Mike and his team found creative solutions around almost all of the more difficult situations (Examples include low hanging HVAC that could not be moved, how to 'drywall' a cinder block wall, etc.). I could tell we were falling a little behind schedule, but I wasn't terribly concerned since my and quot;hard stopand quot; deadline was before my baby arrived in late March/early April (due April 1). Much of the work hinged on one member of Mike's team, and while that individual and his team did fantastic work, they seemed unreliable -- didn't show up on days I expected them, didn't finish as much as I thought they would within the days they were present. This party did all the floor leveling, tile cutting and installation, demolition, and framing. So his lack of professionalism really impacted the job. Things plodded along and when mistakes were identified, Mike and the team fixed them immediately or explained to me in detail why they weren't mistakes at all (this was my first construction experience!). They were VERY thorough and responsive in ensuring my complete happiness with the finished product.
My only hesitation in giving them full A+ marks comes from the fact that people didn't show up on days they were supposed to (again, mostly one party) and would show up at the house when not expected. Communication as to where the project was at any given time wasn't great. I'd suggest that they eventually invest in an online scheduling software that clients can view in order to know which persons would be at which job site on which days and during which hours. I think it'd save everyone some heartburn. It seems Boaz Construction is growing at a break-neck pace, which is great and deserved, given their finished product. But it was impacting their ability to be reliable when I was engaged with them. My project didn't finish completely until mid-April, which was a problem because my baby was born the last week of March. Our first week home from the hospital, we had to sleep at my parents house with a newborn in a pack 'n' play because the stairs had been varnished and the fumes in the house were too intense for us to be present. When we were back at our home, there were people coming and going, trying to wrap up the project, during a fairly stressful period of my family's life. This was never the intention of Mike or any members of his team, but you know what they say about the road to H***...
In summary, our project was challenging for Mike and for us. But I do feel that had it been left to lesser professionals, it could have gone much more poorly. They did their best to keep me happy, the finished product is lovely, and if I ever come into enough money to do so, I'll call Mike again for a kitchen project I'm dreaming of!
** it's worth noting: the party who had proven problematic during my job was let go toward the end of our engagement. Very unfortunate since we all loved his work, but his lack of reliability was going to cost Boaz work, and they knew that.

We are very please with our remodel! Michaels quote was the best price we received and included the most amount of work. His assistant was a great help with picking out tile and paint colors. His crew did a good job of cleaning up after themselves. The custom closet and trimwork are excellent! At times, communication was a little hard or the crew did not work for the entire day due to being at another job. Michael stayed close to our budget and worked with us when issues would arise. We would recommend and work with the company again.

I am not sure where this project started to go South. I was very happy w/ our decision to use Mr. Baoz yet found that even before the demo started I was frustrated with the amount of time it took him to put together and get us a final proposal. I am a person who wants the paperwork done before work starts. I also want the major details worked out before work starts. We were working on a tight time frame. We had another part of the project that had to go in before winter hit. I made a lot of mistakes and let my emotions and the thought of trying to find another contractor after all the time invested sway some of my decisions. We went through a lot of this project with out firm pricing. Shame on us. The project did move quickly and within 60 days 85% of the project was done. Demo started July 27 and majority of work done by Sept. 30. We did not sign off on the final completion until early Dec. 2011. I would have to say the interior painting was awful. I am still cleaning paint off the floor and probably will for a while. That was a battle I just gave up on. I trust the construction is good and just wished there had not been so many issues. When a contractor tells you that when you are talking to him if he has something else on his mind he doesn't listen to you I think that is an issue. There are so many good reviews of this company maybe the issue was the type and size of our project. I always felt we were not his top priority. Mr. Boaz even stated several time that he was trying to finish up another job and after that we would be his main focus. I heard this statement multiple times through our project. All I can state is how I felt. I have no doubt Mr. Boaz felt differently.

"This structure was 90% complete in 3 months, there were never any issues with construction or quality, these folks were fortunate to not have to experience any real problems. We took very good care of them, and gave them quality craftsmanship, there is an amazing carriage house sitting in their backyard. The owner, never had 1 complaint, but his girlfriend and our daily interaction was quite difficult to communicate with. I am very passionate about what I do and will bend over backwards for my customers. I stand behind the quality of this structure, the timing of the construction, and the way my team handled the difficulties communicating with the member. I went to bat for them with the city, I replaced an exterior door at my cost, price was firm throughout construction. In closing I wish them luck and reinforce that I respect Angie's List and understand that its a forum for customer interaction. I am very proud of this project"

We needed our barn roof and one side of it repaired along with an eave by the front door of our house. We scheduled 4 different vendors to give us quotes. Boaz arrived on time and I was very thorough with what needed to be repaired. While waiting on the other quotes he emailed several asking if he got the job. It took about 2 weeks to receive all our quotes. We decided to go with Boaz mostly because he could start immediately and even though he didn't have the cheapest quote we liked his portfolio of previous work and referrals. Plus he said the entire job would take 2-3 days to complete. Strike 1…It took 2 weeks for him to begin work. The reason he gave for the delay was he was trying to find new men to work for him and he was sick. Strike 2…once the work began it took more than a week to complete. They would work for 1 day then not return for another 3 days. Work 1 day then come back 2 days later and so on. Sure it would take only 2-3 days to complete but my fault for thinking it would only take 2-3 consecutive days. Strike 3…when we received the final invoice it was $1500 than his initially quoted. He said that the sub roof material ended up costing more and he didn't add in the cost to move an electrical box that I pointed to while walking around our barn. We had to argue with him about the final bill. We won't use him again. He became really flaky after getting the job.

"My Rebuttal to member is as follows. I had viral meningitis that summer ( 2 years ago), and I lost my top guy in the middle of the summer. I probably wasn't as good at communicating those things with the customer at that point of time. A common mistake with Contractors / Craftsmen / Business owners starting out is we get too busy and we tend to wear too many hats. So a harmless mis-communication turns into something that seems malicious and dishonest. My reality of that situation was that I underpriced the job because I had no idea that member's roof decking and framing were rotten and needed replaced. Also we thought we could move an Electrical meter much more easily than the way it turned out. I am in a tough business and we don't always get it 100% right with a remodel or working on existing work. But I am committed to learning from and not repeating mistakes I priced this job very cheaply to take care of some unsightly problems as well as a roof / soffit leak that the member's had been dealing with. The reason I did this was to get try and get some bigger jobs from the individual that I had also priced ( master bedroom remodel & Kitchen remodel ). I made zero profit on the jobs I did for her, and explained to her that I we had found some problems with the roof and roof decking as well as the issue with the electrical meter. She agreed to the extra charges and that was that, I did complete the job, which I have with every job that I have ever taken. As to why member waited 2 years to make this report, I am baffled. but I respect the process at Angie's List and have made so many improvements over the last 2 years, we are not even the same company. We are much better at serving our customers, performing quality work and communication as you can see with the other reports. I had no idea that member felt this way and would have been happy to talk about it. I am always available by phone and in person by appointment. In Closing I am committed to constantly improving our processes and building a quality driven company to serve our customers Michael"

Michael Boaz was personnally involved in all decisions and never settled for anything less than excellence. Michael always detailed any additional expenses and worked hard to limit the final cost to his original estimate. The entire Boaz Team anticipated Michael's eye for detail which resulted in a beautiful new room. The final product exceeded our high expectations.

Prompt, friendly, professional and did everything we asked. Two minor issues: a) the sealer coat on the slate was put on too thickly and puddled in areas, such that it required removal and resealing in spots. They showed up promptly to complete the rework. b) the slate cutting was done in our courtyard and many small shards of slate and the cutting water were left on our lawn; we decided to pick up the shards by hand (they could not be raked or vacuumed) without asking Boaz to take care of it.

I contacted Michael initially to take a look at our basement as we had utilized his services on some other odd jobs around our home previously. Our timeline on the basement project wasn't as immediate as the patio with the nice weather around the corner so we decided to pull the trigger with the quartzite. Michael actually recommended the material because of its durability to the freezing and thawing. He showed us some pictures of some previous work, roughed us out a sketch of the design, and provided us with a start and date for the project's completion. He provided an enjoyable experience from beginning to end.

We are very happy with the remodel. Michael helped with designing the layout and provided multiple drawings of possible kitchens for us to look at and make modifications. He got us in contact with great raw material suppliers, cabinets, tile, etc to help us make decisions. The workers were very courteous and did their best to keep the rest of the house clean during the renovation. We did some of the demo ourselves to decrease our cost of the renovation. Michael was very good to work with us in watching all expenses. We thoroughly enjoy all of our new kitchen renovation, and our time working with Michael and his team. We would be happy to talk with anyone about our experience with this contractor.

Mr. Boaz was very professional from start to finish. He met all deadlines and kept me the homeowner involved in every step. He and his assistants not only performed the work with excellent quality but did not leave a mess each day upon leaving...they were amazing in terms of how they left my home each day. It compared very much to the cleanliness in which they entered it. I highly recommend Boaz Construction in terms of the quality of work and the professionalism that was displayed. I would use them again to perform any home remodeling.

Our experience with Michael Boaz went very well. We completely remodeled our entire house (every room was worked on except storage room). Work included installing hardwood floors thoughout most of the house/re-finishing hardwoods, gutting two bathroom and the kitchen, creating a wall, knocking down two walls, builiding a new stair banister, installing all new doors, and buidlng closet systems. We began working with Micheal in December and started the project by late Jan. The project was complete by early April. Micheal was great in putting us in touch with various businesses to pick all of our finishes and worked hard to get us the best pricing. This was an extensive project and was completed within 11 weeks. Micheal and his entire crew were very respectful and responsive. They showed up everyday to work on our project. The job was finished close to what was estimated and most importantly, the work was done very well! We absolutely love our new house and have received tons of compliments on our finished product and the quality of the work! Some highlights of workng with this company are detailed below: 1. Very good Qualty Work-Especially Tile and Woodworking! 2 Respectful/Responsive Crew 3 Transperancy in pricing 4 Trustworthy-Hard to come by in that biz 5. Easy to work with

We hired his company to redo our small bathroom. The demo and up to drywall was extremely professional. The subs and his workers were very trustworthy and treated me with great respect. I was home most of the time and I felt safe with all the workers coming and going. The tile work was done very well, but took longer than anyone expected. We didn't have an issue with this, because it was done so well. Mr. Boaz always returned our phone call within minutes and treated us well in person. The problem that we experieced was the finishing work had to be addressed too many times. We felt that Mr. Boaz should have spent more time with his finisher to make sure it was done right. We understand it was a tiny job and not his biggest priority at the time.
