The service went fine. They weren't the lowest bid, but they were close to the lowest bid, and I used them because their timing and everything worked for me. They gave me a decent bid, they completed the work when they said they would, and they were on time, and on budget. We had some discussions, but it all worked out.
Description of Work: I used Zimmer & Kohl Contracting. I did a complete bathroom remodel, and a partial kitchen remodel, which meant refinishing the cabinets and replacing the countertops and sink.

It was a nightmare. Took five days to tear out the driveway because they were using electrically powered jackhammers (using our electricity). When that was 3/4 done, the contractor demanded another $5,000 and threatened to abandon the job if not paid. Driveway was paved using a small batch concrete truck during a period of 100 degree heat. Resulted in uneven pouring and discoloration. New driveway ended up almost 3 inches higher than the old one which completely screwed up a drainage system from our downspouts that we'd had installed a year earlier, We ended up firing these clowns when they demanded additional payments and contracted with someone else to do the front walk, make the concrete saw cuts and install the caulking. Would never, never hire them again for anything.
Description of Work: Contracted to tear out and re-pour a concrete driveway and front walk

I wanted to get this quoted and completed before a graduation party in May. When I called, I wasnt even sure I contacted a business because I thought I woke the guy up. After initial awkward greeting, Ben agreed to send someone out to quote. The guy was late but at least he called me to give me a heads up. He did a very professional evaluation and suggested drainage work that I thought was the best I had heard. Gave me quote and after some negotiation paid him a $400 deposit and told him to get started. Said they were busy but would give me a call to begin in a week. I had to call two weeks later to find out if they were going to do anything. They said weather had been bad and they were behind and wouldnt be able to get it started for another couple weeks. I told them to call me when they were ready. 2 weeks later and still no follow-up and at that point i called Ben and he basically told me that it was what it was. He sent me my deposit back. I would never give this guy the time of day to do a project.
Description of Work: Called to get quote. Pour new 8x8 stamped concrete pad near gate opening transitioning to 50feet of 3foot wide walkway in backyard to another concrete pad by back gate. Include drainage work/dry well required to remove sump pump water discharge and additional drainage work at back gate to remove gutter runoff.

The building inspector had them redo the a portion of the roof for the 3rd time. He started in August 2011 and has yet to finish warranty repairs, damages to my property from his employees, or correct punch list items. We did note they went from an A- back in 2011 to a C- non-affiliated with the BBB. If you want somthing quickly and correctly do NOT use this vendor. They have excuses for everything.
Description of Work: The project was to install a new 2.5 car garage, demo and install a new wider driveway, add a 170 sq ft addtion and move the front porch foward. Vendor was selected because he gave a 6-week timeline, He was not the low cost alternative. Garage door was supposed to be offset and the ceiling was to have attic type stairs and room for slight storage. This never occurred. The roof is 9 inches off center from front to back and 6 inches off center from left to right. The block walls are not square, the blocks have uneven gaps between them and the brick veneer is tlited at the top. The garage floor is uneven and water leaks into the opening via the pedestrian door threshold. The driveway was installed by a sub contractor (was never told this) and was installed on top of the dirt instead of using the Bobcat to level the ground. The forms were removed samed day . The vendor was to install a specific brand of windows that we agreed to but substitited inferior products with prior knowledge or approval. The drywall inside the addtion is flawed and uneven. The windows leak air and after closer inspection had shims installed around the latches to make them operate better.

Start to finish the project was trying to say the least.
Description of Work: I hired them to install hardwood flooring through the living area and down the hall to the bed rooms. Seemed like they started out good and went down hill from there. First the workers were incredibly slow. Then every time I turned around they wanted to submit a change order. First for an increase in cost for the paper barrier. Then the one hard to believe was when the hardwood was installed down the center of the hall I was told it was extra work to fill the area down the sides. I told him I found it hard to believe anyone would not want the outside 1.5 inches filled. I was told some people wanted their floors like that. (not hardly) I ended up signing off on 3 different change orders just to get them finished and out. The quality of work was far short of even fair. I suspect the flooring was not nailed down properly. It squeaked from tthe time they finished and still does.
