Peirce Home Improvement Inc

Excellent. Dan Peirce is excellent in providing the services requested.I will highly recommend him.

The job went very well. It was a 2 day job. Most of the work was completed on day 1. It included pouring a new footing 4 'in depth under landing section outside corner. This had to settle before installing a 4x6 pt post from the new footing up to the deck frame corner on day 2. 2 new deck joists with timber locks were added. An outer rim joist was replaced. Timber lock all of the existing posts to frame as they were separating. Also, secure the deck to the house with hex lock timber locks. Besides the completed work, what really stood out to me was the company's same day/evening responses to any questions that I had. After the 1st couple of phone calls (which were answered at that time) during business hours, most of our communication was through email. If I had emailed a question at 5pm on a Friday, I would get a response either that night or sometime during the weekend. I didn't have to wait until Monday or later of the following week. To me, that was very important!

I contracted with Dan Peirce to put vinyl siding on the exterior of our screened in porch as well as paint the interior. It also required an additional support post and re-bracketing underneath.  The project initially was priced at approximately  $4,500. I was aware of some spots where there might be rotted wood and was prepared to pay extra in the event they had to replace it here and there. The day they started I gave Dan my cell phone number and told him I would be in and out but available all day and able to stop back in at any time. I asked him to call if there were any issues. When mold was discovered all three walls were demolished and partially hauled away with no phone call to me. When I returned to the house there was only the ceiling and the floor left and a couple of moldy panels for them to show me. When I asked one of his workers if there had been mold on all the panels he replied that he thought so. While I certainly hope they were being honest about the extent of the damage Dan should have called me before allowing it to be ripped out. He was usually not on site except for first thing in the morning, which is probably where some of the problem lies. I received an email from him that evening at 6:45 explaining what had happened after the fact. The additional construction was quoted at $3,375. I agreed to this feeling that I had little choice at that point. Communication throughout the project was poor. Additionally, the demolition left lead paint chips all over due to insufficient use of drop cloths. When the job was done there was an additional $800 dollars added bringing the total to $8,688.42. When I questioned the surprise additions he said it was for things we discussed after the second proposal that were not included.  I told him that if they were not included he should have told me that and mentioned what the costs would be. I asked if we could split the difference, which he said no to. I paid the full $8,688.42. The final product looks good but the process was not smooth. 

Very pleasant and professional.  Showed up on time and finished up on time.  Great job on all work for a reasonable price and did a superb job with clean up.  I will definitely use in the future for other products.

Everything went good. He is really easy, keeps his word, and fair pricing.
