Last summer they rented out a house to a family that were drug dealers, after almost a year and mutliple visits from the police they finally evicted them. Now they have rented to level 3 s** offenders. We live on a quiet block with a lot of families and this company has a total disregard of that fact. If they don't care about this, what makes you think they'd do a good job remodeling your house.
Description of Work: I called this company because along with remodeling homes they also buy homes and rent them out. For a home remodeling company they sure don't keep up the appearance of their rental properties, the house I look at daily need some serious landscaping done. They also like to rent to level 3 s** offenders because "they pay their rent on time"

I would use them again.
Description of Work: Desmond (the owner) stopped by my house while another ice dam company was there using the wrong equipment to thaw the terrible ice dams on my roof. He informed me that his company can do it cheaper and faster and with machines that will not hurt my roof. He was polite, friendly, professional and I appreciated the information. His company came a couple days later to finish the job -- and did it faster, better and cheaper than the other company (which damaged my roof). Seems to be very honest and professional. I would use them again for ice dam problems or other house work.

I paid Spalding everything upfront as a gesture of earnestness and a demonstration of "stupid" American "good" business! Beside the above-poor quality of his work, he is foremost in being a gold-bricking & irresponsible slacker who has no conscience. When I had a near-fatal medical incident when he was 1/2 finished, he purposely abandoned me, 6 years ago this was, and I'm still suffering from the untold misery of disarray.
Description of Work: Despite his anti-American attitude dovetailing his difficult accident, D&R/Spalding would rather do business with a wink & nod, cut bargains and do less than mediocre/slipshod work to justify his prices; and avoid municipal regulations' if he can. His referrals are based on a community code red concessions that implies a 'kickback' mechanism which is the only unfeckless effort.

D & R isn't the greatest builder around, but for the price they are very good. They have skills in many different areas and the owner is an engineer from England who has many Old World skills and ideas. He really knows what he's talking about. They can do many normally high-cost specialty jobs for reasonable prices as part of their overall service, and if something goes wrong, even not from them, they'll come running to help in an emergency. The one big fault is they are not on time unless you are always on their backs. The further along with the project, the more you need to be on their case, but they are good.
