I contacted many builders in the area about doing this job, Miller was one of the people I contacted. After meeting with each builder once, and the final two three times a piece, Miller was the most impressive by far. Three things stood out to me, one was the technical knowledge and the fact that they would bring up subjects I had not thought about, the second was their willingness to meet with me whenever I wanted to discuss this in detail (considering I am quite picky), and the third was their responsiveness in getting back to me (this carried on throughout the project as well).
Their price was fair, in fact the lower of the the two finalists for the job, but that is not what convinced me on them. What really convinced me was the thought they put into the project. The other builders came out and would ask questions to clarify anything that was not specific but Miller brought things up that I had not even thought of. The best example of this was the drainage (considering I was to have a garage and a long driveway back to it, they recognized that I was going to need a way to handle all the water that was going to collect). They suggested some underground drainage piping (with gutters dropping into it) for many reasons. Financially it was quite minor in comparison to the whole job, but it really made the job a home run (I never have to deal with water collecting anywhere, including snow in the winter). When I asked their competition about drainage the response was "four downspouts at the corners".
The job went well, there were a few snags along the way, but with a project as big as this was you are never going to get perfection. The snags that were encountered were discussed and taken care of to my satisfaction in a prompt way. Also, other projects I was doing at the time added some complication to this, Miller worked well with me to keep everything running smoothly.
My only real complaint, and to be frank this is typical of the building industry, is the "how long will this take?", "when are you going to get started?" type of thing. I am an engineer by trade, so I am used to a slipped deadline or estimate as a huge deal. 2015 was a busy year for building, so the delays that were encountered likely fall under "normal" and building has to deal with weather and various other issues. All in all the project was done when it needed to be done, but it did start later than I wanted it to (and later than I was told it would). From the start time it did run to the time I was told it would take. All things considered I believe it was minor and I would just go into any project like this with the expectation that there will be delays.
In conclusion if I were to be undertaking a large project like this again, I would not have to meet with anyone else. I would simply just call them.
"Dear [Removed Member Name] and [Removed Member Name], Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to build your dream garage for you. The garage turned out perfect in design and finish thanks to all the hard work you put into pre planning. [Removed Member Name], thanks to you and your Dad for all the time you put into this project during the building process, and helping us along the way. Scott"
The project consisted of adding heat, electrical, trim, flooring and paint. Everything turned out great. I would highly recommend him.
"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for reviewing Miller Building Co. Unfortunately I was hoping for a better grade than we have been given. I know we did your first project for you and went well. The second project you hired us for two months later, was also on time and went well. If you would like to get in touch with me, I would like to know what I can do better next time to get a better grade. Thank you, Scott"
Scott and his team are awesome. We hired Miller to put an addition on our home. The Miller team did everything they could to minimize the mess and disruption to our lives while the addition was going up. The work was top notch all the way, couldn't ask for anything more. What we apprecaited most was the honesty and integrity that Miller displayed. He communicated with us very well and we encounted no surprises along the way. Hard to find honest people to work with nowadays but Miller is just that.
"[Member name removed], Thank you for the review. I am glad you are happy with the projects we have completed for you over the years. I look forward to your future projects. Scott"
My wife and I badly wanted hardwood floors throughout the house, but because of a sagging dinning room floor we were about to settle for carpet. We quoted having the floor leveled with a few other building co. but quotes were just to high to make it practical. Miller building co. gave us a solution and a price that made it possible. The workcrew was here on time at 7:30 each day, Plastic curtians were hung to contain any saw dust to the work site. The work crew was skilled at what they did and executed the job exactly to plan, no shortcuts were taken. Care was taken to assure that the floor was level on both sides of a partiton that was located in the middle of the span...not an easy task. But they knew thier job and executed it well. They finish on time and cleaned any mess that they had made. The final result was a perfectly level subfloor that we can now use to support hardwood floors in the house.
"[Member name removed], Thank you for reviewing my company, and giving us the opportunity to work in your home. The job turned out very well and will look great when the new hardwood is complete! Thanks for becoming one of our new customers, and I look forward to your future projects. Scott"
"Hello, Sorry for your bad experience but is this review for Miller Building Co? There is no name, no address and no phone number. It says work was completed in June, but yet review was done 6 months later. According to my other reviews I am surprised by this, and also no info to know if this review is true."
