LADEGAST SKILLED TRADES

"Another top quality job done at an unbeatable price. This job is just more proof that with the right people in place and some hard work you can provide a great basement finish within a designated budget and not have to sacrifice quality to do so. Its all about having the right people doing the work."

"A top quality job, done for a great customer, at a good price. Everybody Happy Happy Happy................. It is very refreshing to be providing top quality work to appreciative customers again.I personally made a severe business mistake by doing the coupon deal that my company suffered several negative reviews over. I would like to use this review, along with many others to show my readers one thing. Anytime A client contracts myself and/or my company to provide a service they will receive a top quality job at a great and fair price."

"I agree with this customer This job did take took long to complete. It was a very simple drywall repair job.I am suprised he gave us a D considering circumstances and the quality job we did. I subcontracted a drywall guy to start an complete this job.He started the job with me and when I attempted to schedule him to finish the job, he could not be there.After 2 weeks of scheduling conflicts.I went over on a Sunday and completed the work myself. The work that was done was quality work but this customer is correct we took entirely to long start and finish. For the record this drywall guy no longer works for me. I also told the customer I would refund his 199.00 for the coupon. The bottom Line is D- or A+ in responsivness We had a snag in this job as some jobs do and although it took an extra week then originally planned I saw to it this customer got a quality job done and completed for a phenominal Price."

"These customers had a resonable amount of work they wanted done for the coupon they had purchased. We did the work accordingly for the coupon only. This is how all the coupon jobs should go... A resonable amout of contract work done properly by a good contractor at a great price. I believe we even worked an hour or so over and I did not give them a bill because their work amount was reasonable. I have unfortunately suffered some poor reviews due to coupon purchasers having an unreasonable amount work to be done for the coupon. Thank you for your business and you guys were very nice to work for."

"This customer was another coupon purchaser. Their job was a great deal more then the value of the coupon. I gave them my estimate and told them I would take the money they paid for the coupon off their bill. I did exactly that. We gave them a perfectly finished bathroom and closet and at a good price. They were happy and we were happy.Very pleasant people to be around."

"I feel that I was taken advantage of because we didnt have it in writing. As yes after this job, I have and will always have it in writing even if im changing a light bulb. I gave a very reasonable price of 600.00 materials included-to rework the garage door jamb, install a new door, and patch several holes, sand, and finish the drywall in a large washer dryer room (600.00 for BOTH jobs). I told customer we would tear down the 30foot old gutter and install a new 30foot gutter with 2 down spounts for the coupon she purchsed of (199.00 Customer buys materials). Customer said she would have someone else install the door and we were to do the drywall and the gutter. Our work was done professionally and we provided the best materials.Meaning instead of doing a gutter patch job which she had suggested, I had a seemless 30' gutter special ordered and installed it. I was prompt and professional with this woman. Total time invested in whole job was 6 hours (3 seperate trips). The coupon is for 2 men 3 hours.Our price was right, fair and honest and she did not pay us the additional 250.00 in Labor for the drywall work. She gave me a check of 125.00 for gutter materials.So not only did she not pay me for a well done job she gives me a terrible review.You are either a good contractor or your not. We did a top quality job for this woman and she stiffed me on the bill. I will say this again I have yet to have a bad experience or review with a customer other than the coupon people. To my readers, you can not work for the top rated contractors I do work for, have the references that I have, present the job photos I have (all of which is work I personally did with help) and not be a top quality contractor. I take alot of pride in my work and provide the best work at a reasonable and honest price...... And experiences with people like this are just making me a better business man in which I will admit I can always improve on."

"What this customer doesnt tell you is that the house is 80 years old. The 1 door was 50 years old and the door hardware was 100 years old, Or the hack job that was done by the contractor he had in there before me. Any good contractor knows that everything has to be perfect in order for door to close and operate perfectly.Everything in that house is out of square and unlevel. I came over on a sunday and gave this customer what he asked for.And that was to hang two doors, and make to make an existing opening a doorway for a coupon he bought for 199.00. In all reality I know what he wanted. The same thing most (not all) of the customers that I have encoutered with the angies list coupon wanted.To Tear out the old and then rebuild it right using the top quality materials I usually buy, have the drywall patched and refinished,re-do all of the trim, and then install the doors the right way(which I always do).The only problem is, They want all the work done for 199.00. Its impossible. This customer wanted a quick fix with an imperfect structer and old and imperfect material. I came over on a sunday to do that for him at a great price. And because I didnt do a 750.00 job for the coupon he purchased,I pay for it anyway on angieslist. LOOSE LOOSE For the contractor.Never once did this customer call me or even tell me his was displeased.Not to mention I told the customer that in order for the doors to be perfect we would need to do the services I mentioned above. You can look at my work photos and tell I am a very talented and detailed contractor.I just cant win with these coupon customers and I believe I know why. You can not coupon top quality work, and from now on I learned my lesson from this review. If I cant do the job the right way at the appropriated price then I will not do the job."

"Very Nice People.I quoted a few other prodjects and look forward to working for them in the future."

"If all customers were as appreciative and as nice to work for as these two people, This world would be a great place. We did a great job with great contractors and they got a beautiful master bathroom. Very good tile and trim selection."

"These customers were very nice people.It is very hard to install windows and doors for the price of coupon that is purchased from angies list. Although I did install the window that the customer bought according to the manufactures specifications, It was not what the customer had wanted. I told the customer the window they wanted would have to be installed by a professional window installer. I did tell the customer they could refund him coupon due to the fact he was not happy with the job. Customer did pay me for my materials. I only wish I would have known what the customer expected before I spent a day with 2 men installing the window he bought for me to install."

"Thank you guys you are great people to work for."

"Thank you [member name removed] we look forward to the next one"

"This was a tough one but it turned out very good. Thank you guys you were great to work for"

"I informed [member name removed] at the time of the estimate that I could only remove the wallpaper in the bathroom for the coupon price which is( 6 man hours for 199.00) that is purchased on angies list. I made her very aware that there will be drywall issues when you remove old wallpaper not to mention there were 2 layers. I gave her a price of 400.00 additional dollars to fix all the drywall issues. She told me she only wanted to use the 199.00 coupon that she purchased from angies list.I tried to do the right thing and honor the coupon she purchased. So I sent 2 men there for 5 hours and they removed all the wallpaper to the last tiny piece.I asked [member name removed] again if she wanted to hire us to fix the drywall issues and she replied that the drywall work should be done for the 199.00 price of the coupon. [member name removed] wanted a 2 day job for 199.00. We did the agreed upon work and offerered proffesional drywall services at a great price. To any future customers that read [member name removed] reveiw please take the time to check out my actual customers that hire and have hired me to provide top quality work at an affordable price, not the coupon lady that wanted something for nothing."
