I called them around Feb. 21 to ask why we hadn't seen anyone yet. Larry said their engineer (apparently a subcontractor) had been sick, but there would be no problem completing the project by our deadline of April 1. On March 11, his email said they could not complete the project by our deadline (three weeks away). They said they needed a survey of our property ($500) because the county was requiring it. But in subsequent conversations with county enforcement, we learned that Innovative had not even applied for a permit. This was apparently a violation of county licensing requirements. According to the enforcement officer, if a contractor gets more than a 10% down payment, they must apply for a permit within 30 days.
After we personally demolished the addition, we found anchor bolts from an old structure and showed them to the enforcement officer. He told us that we therefore would NOT need a survey since there had been a previous structure and we would not be increasing the building foot print."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/fl/port-charlotte/innovative-construction-reviews-6624530.htm"},"position":2},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Innovative Contracting Services Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"ME","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Randy F."},"reviewBody":"
From their reps to their workers, all were excellent . Very responsive to every facet of the job. My house is 120 yrs old and the shingles were not in great shape. They replaced shingles were they had to and tightened up many more. They spent about a week on the prep work more than anticipated and the price did not change. There are plants and bushes and gardens around the property, they covered it all only as long as needed. At the end of every day the clean up was such that you would never know they were there. The paint job came out fantastic and my wife and I could not be happier.
Thank You

Schneider Property Management handled every aspect of this project with quality work without any issues. This is one example of many projects that they have completed in recent years.
After searching Angie's list we found Innovative with multiple A ratings. Although their price ($12,000+-) was higher than we anticipated, we signed a contract (January 29, 2013) after they added our most important requirement - "All work to be completed by April 1, 2013." I called them...
