Generally went well. They have a great team of carpenters and all are professional and courteous. There were no major problems other than some weather issues that were beyond their control. I would recommend getting all allowances up front. The only thing we were unhappy about were the allowances alloted in the quote/budget and the fact that we didn't know those details until after we signed. Painting subcontractors were not great, but the owner of that company personally came out to fix the problems. Adenline didn't disappear after the project and were very quick to respond to any needs that came up later.

Melissa came out to our house and we told her what we wanted. She understood our vision completely! Within a week the crew was at our home and construction began. They came when they said they would and worked from 8 am to 4 pm every day. The crew was neat and professional. Our porch was done in a week. This was the best, most efficient project we've ever had done! We will tell all of our friends about Adelaine Construction.

We had three issues with our home and decided to call Adelaine Construction for a bid.

1. The fireplace box began by being damp and then eventually water formed a puddle, and later during horizontal rain storms, a gallon or so of water poured into the firebox and elsewhere. Over a 9 month period we had a chimney sweep, a contractor, a fireplace installer, and a few "experts" with ladders inspect and theorize what the issue(s) were. We finally called Adelaine Construction-they fixed it considerably under budget and for less than $75.00. The fireplace has been dry ever since--even during the most intense summer rains.

2. Where the attached garage roof line meets the rest of the house there has been a problem with rain and, in particular, snow/ice buildup since we built our home. The cement board on the house wall under the garage roof began to show signs of water damage after three years. We had the cement board painted once and it looked good for one season and it returned to its pealing and shabby state. Adelaine Construction determined the cause of the damage and recommended replacing the damaged cement board siding, priming and painting the new siding, installing a commercial grade gutter with snow and ice melting cable, installing the necessary electrical service--complicated by the fact our circuit breaker box was full--and a handy lit on/off switch. It is amazing how nicely the downspout matches the house.

3. Our last project was the most long-term issue we have had with the house. Although it is too complicated to explain how the house was built and why the front paver stone porch leaked water into our basement, however, Adelaine Construction developed a plan to remedy the core cause of our periodic dripping ceiling in an unfinished room in the basement. We had previously invested $3000.00 to “fix” this leak with a former friend, who is a licensed general contractor; it did not work. Although there was never a lot of dripping after a rain, it was enough to not allow the room to be finished. Adelaine Construction urged us to fix this whether we finished the basement or not—we did. For less than what we spent on the first attempt, we now have a completely dry basement.

The communication of the repair plan and estimates, the issues, and the timelines was excellent; we felt in the loop about every detail. The execution of each project and cleanup was very professional. When a subcontractor was needed, Adelaine had a representative/project manager here.

All I can say how incredibly fair Adelaine Construction has been to us, and how confident we feel about the work they have done. When the need arises, we’ll be calling Adelaine.

They were excellent to work with and very detailed and professional throughout the entire process. Design and costs were determined prior to the contract and they completed the job on time and on budget. I would highly recommend them for any new construction or remodeling.
