Miraculous, every time I look at their work, I am amazed. They fixed it! They fixed a botched job another company did and I am so impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of Father & Son Construction. My front porch looks awesome now.

They did fine work but I was quite upset with them because they did a few jobs and then they stopped and they blamed the manager in charge. They said he wasn't up to snuff. I had to wait over a year to get all these different jobs done. I asked them if they could take off some of the costs because of the delay. They wouldn't do it. I'd never go with them again put it that way. 10 or 15 years ago we had them do a job and they were great. They came out and re-did this whole cabana. They rebuilt it. They did a fantastic job but things have changed since then, I guess.

I explained how I wanted the patio to be shaped to the designer; he took very thorough notes and measurements, then provided an estimate on the spot. He pushed to get the contract signed on the spot, but I was ready to proceed and was happy with the price. Getting callbacks when we had questions was hit or miss, but the crew showed up when they were supposed to, and they were very efficient. They brought a load of dirt to pile over a low tree stump between my front and back yards to get their wheelbarrow over, though they left the mound of dirt behind. Overall, the crew did an excellent job on the cement; it is exactly as we designed, properly pitched, and looks really great. I'm very satisfied, and would have them do work again.

Very good. Nice, ethical people. We were told by another company we needed a new window. Father and Son told us we didn't need to replace the window and told us how to repair the leak without having to purchase a new window.

Father and Son was hired on October 10, 2012, at that time we were told we would hear from someone within two weeks regarding a start date. We received a letter in the mail at the end of the two week time frame stating the and quot;project mangerand quot; would be in touch with us regarding a start date- three days later we received a call stating the blue prints were being worked-on and someone would be in touch with us. SEVERAL WEEKS later we received a call stating permits needed to be pulled and someone would be in contact with us to schedule a time to go over blue prints. SEVERAL WEEKS (Wednesday before Thanksgiving) later upon a follow up call by myself I was informed that the permits had been issued and the project manager and estimator would be coming to my house to go over final plans and answer any questions. During that meeting we were told once work started (which would be end of that week start of next week) the job would be done in 7-10 days. The first day of work went REALLY well-demolition of our wall took place, all heating and cooling work was done and the master closet was built. I was impressed- that was a lot of work for one day-I thought at that time we certainly hired the right company for the job. Sure, it took A LONG time to get work started but now that it was started it was MOVING! Next step was electrical work-electrician was beyond amazing...actually the heating and cooling crew, electrician and demolition, carpentry crew were ALL amazing. All inspections happened in a very timely manner and everything passed with flying colors. Next step...drywall-here is where things go down the drain. Dry waller (one person crew) shows up at my house and needs assistance from my husband carrying all the drywall into the home from his truck. Oh his truck-an old work truck that leaked oil and left a huge oil stay in the middle of the driveway of my brand new home. Dry waller did NOT put down down any drop clothes like the other crews, walked through my entire house with dirty shoes (drywall dust, mud) leaving foot prints up and down my stair way and through my halls. At the end of his work day he asked if he could come back and work on Sunday morning..we thought that was kinda strange but figured whatever it took to get job DONE. He said he would be there by 10 in the morning...didn't show up until 10:30 worked until 11:45 and said he was done for day and would come back another day. We rearranged our whole Sunday so he could work for an hour and fifteen minutes!?! A call to Father and Son was made regarding his respect for our home and the hours worked we were told it would be taken care of...THEY PROMISED! The dry waller showed up again the Wednesday before Christmas and one other day after Christmas to finish the job....so we thought. We hired a professional painter to start painting on January 5th since our new master bedroom was finally complete..remember we are now THREE MONTHS into a and quot;minor remodeland quot;. Painter showed up could only work for 3 hours of his eight hour day because the drywall work was so bad he could not paint over it. IE: The ceiling was already falling down, cracking and seams splitting. We still had to pay painter for full hours because of other jobs he missed! Father and Son was immediately contacted they sent someone to our house (new drywall guy) on January 8th who spent an entire eight hour day fixing the drywall-he himself could NOT believe the way the first drywall job was done in our home! So here we are January 14th and the job is FINALLY done, Father and Son has had no explanations and has done NOTHING to compensate for our time, inconvenience or hassle...they have done NOTHING expect say and quot;Sorry, we thought the job was going welland quot;. So I guess the bottom line is if you don't mind being inconvenienced for MONTHS at a time, don't mind your home being disrespected by some of their crews, and paying TOP DOLLAR for shotty work at best than Father and Son is the company for you...otherwise save yourself a lot of stress and hire a different company!!

We had Fand S come out to help us fix up a DIY project involving a walk through closet area in our master bedroom (it had been sitting unfinished for 8 years). The quoting process was super easy, Darrin was awesome and wrote out everything we discussed. After trying for 3 weeks to even get anyone else outto quote the project (no one would even call us back) I was able to talk my husband into moving forward with Fand S. Darrin and Mat came out to do a walk through befoew the work even began so that we wee on the same page, Mat was open and honest with us that since we didn't want to start from scratch his crew would do everything they could to make it look like a professional started and finished the job. (Side note, my husband did the original drywall and there were many areas where it was crooked or not lining up at all). As soon as the drywaller came out he started repairing/ replacing the previous work as need, even after that first day I could see a major difference. The electrician came out to do some minor fixes with the outlets and a ceiling fan, and the flooring crew made out beat up floor look like it was just laid down. After the drywall work was done (by the way he fixed even the smallest imperfections that someone else might have skipped) and all the molding and trim was put up you would never know that we had tried to start the project as do it yourselfers. The team was able to fix all of our errors and give a beautiful closet area that I am truly proud of. I can't stop showing people the pictures and I want to invite people over just to show it off. Everyone was super professional and even called me the night before they were coming by so I could put my dog in daycare on the days they were working. I would definitely call them again and pass their name on to anyone that asked.

This will explain it all: We called them back to do a minor repair in a different part of the house, and they said it would cost $5,000 to fix it. We called a different person for a second quote -- and he offered to do it for $200. We chose the second guy, he did a great job, and did it perfectly in a day. Just saying.

It would be tough to find a more professional bunch. These guys are super squared away. My job required masonry work, framing, carpentry, drywall and A/C unit installation. Each crew was polite, informative, and very skilled at what they did. The crew that did the actual A/C unit install went as far as inspecting the new units I had purchased online for damage from shipping. To me this is above and beyond and is indicative of folks who really care. The same crew actually READ the A/C unit installation directions and FOLLOWED them to a and quot;Tand quot;.
Let me begin this next paragraph and talk about the after work clean up. It was as if they were never there. I even joked with the crew about their prep work, stating it looked like a clean room you'd see in the computer or hospital industry. No kidding folks it was as if they were never there.
In closing, the estimator was on time, polite and very knowledgable.
If something changed the estimate, he explained it and put it all in writing. Father and Son isn't going to be your cheapest estimate, but folks, you get what you pay for, and they stand behind it.........and I even got a Christmas card! Thanks again and I'll be calling you soon for another job.

Father and Son performed the job flawlessly. Estimates were accurate and fair. The worked performed was quality and the workers were alway on time and reported exactly when they said they would. Each worker was well trained and knew exactly what to do, all construction trash was picked up and my home was left as clean as when they found it. I highly recommend Father and Son and would hire them again. The cost was alittle more than expected, however you get what you pay for when having this type of work performed. Thanks again Father and Son for a job well done.

Our experience was that though the plans said one thing, for example 'tear off and new roof', they said that that isn't what was supposed to happen and that we had to pay more at every turn. The quality of the work is average at best. The workers opened the back of our home, didn't secure it properly, then went hunting so work was stalled for almost 2 full weeks. We were so happy to see them leave... and it was a 6 month long project.
The best part of the project was my closet in the master bedroom. That turned out just fine, but everything else was a disappointment.

"Responding to this 11 year old report is challenging at best. We shred all of our files after 8 years to protect our client's information. Given that this job was done 11 years ago, I had hoped that some of our personnel may shed light on it. The Supervisor of this project left in 2006 and the salesperson retired at the end of last year. We were able to find an old computer record of this job in our archives. At the time that this job took place, we had a backlog of remodeling projects so we decided to branch out and hire another Rough Carpentry crew. We interviewed them, checked their references, and looked at their workmanship. Everything seemed to check out. Even with all of the safeguards in place, they fell short of our expectations and we parted ways after this project. Unfortunately, this does little to repair any bad feelings that this member has for our company. I am interested in the "changes" that came about. We have always had a long standing policy that any changes in a project must be approved in writing by the homeowner and the company. The only exception would be a Building Code that necessitates a change to the project. Also, this project would have required a Blueprint which would have been signed at the time of the plan review (preconstruction). 11 years have gone by since we were at this project so there is little that could be done to rectify an injustice. Had we known about this in a timely manner, we could have done everything within reason to address the situation. We encourage feedback (positive or negative) so that we can continue to exceed a customer's expectations. Fortunately, we do receive a lot more positive than negative feedback, but we take it all to heart. Thank you for taking the time to read our response to this report."

The sales rep we met with was great. He was prompt gave us a clear quote and not a "big song and dance sales pitch". When there were some revisions to the estimate after specific tradesmen were consulted, again our sales person dealt with us fairly and in a respectful, straightforward manner. The job coordinator was terrific. He let us know where things where each step of the way, always gave us a call to let us know when someone was coming out and followed up to make sure we were satisfied and if we had any questions or concerns. I can't say their price was the best, it was competitive but we did get lower quotes. But theirs was the company in which we had the greatest confidence. We also had quotes from Hanson's and 1st Choice.
