T G PETERSON CONSTRUCTION LLC

Very professionally.
Well organized. Professionally done by company and the subs hired by TG.  Workmanship was excellent.  Workers were great to work with. No surprises. Helped us with product selection with competitive price points. We appreciated the experience of Tod and Steve.Gave us excellent advice before as well as during construction process. Helped us with some "handy man projects" as well.
We felt very comfortable with the process while we were not at home during work.
Neat, clean, and respected our home during the 5 week construction process.

The overall job went very well and was completed over a three week period. The estimate we received was detailed and 'insurance' ready which allowed that end to process smoothly. The few upgrades we requested were accommodated. Tod's crew members were prompt, courteous, professional and diligent. Due to the type of project A work schedule was not presented on the front end, but communicated clearly as things progressed. Communication was very good through email & cell phone.

First off, TG Peterson was one of three estimates and all were Angie's list companies.  Tod did a really good job understanding our needs for the project and working with us regarding the overall project cost.  Prior to excepting the bid, he came out a second time to answer our questions a second time. We were made aware of some potential issues with electric, which wouldn't be known until the plaster removal. 

Steve and Bill started the project as planned with the removal of the plaster, but as with all projects on older homes, we of course had some electrical repair needed.  Steve and Bill completed the removal of the old plaster and cleaned up the kitchen.  It was as if they were never there. Tod recommended Qualified Electric to do the work.  Rodger Dickey came out and visited with me and looked over the job, basically, the kitchen needed to be re-wired and brought up to code.  Because we had additional electrical needs for the appliances, we had that also completed at the same time.  All work stopped on the construction part of the project until the wiring could be completed.  Rodger's quote was less than we expected for the work required, $2,500.00.  Rodger and his son completed the entire wiring project the same day, and will be returning to connect the appliances.  If an ything, we have peace of mind that we have no electrical worries. 

Steve returned to install the plasterboard and start the finish work.  This took several days to complete, but he was always on time and when finished each day cleaned the floors and counters. 

We really appreciated the time and patience of TG Peterson Construction and Qualified Electric and the work they completed on the kitchen.  My previous kitchens I've remodeled I have used the bid box stores to purchase and install the cabinets, flooring, counters, and appliances and have had contractors do any remodeling needs.  I believe I would have made a better choice to have had the entire project under TG Peterson.

They were okay. They just gave us an estimate. I probably won't use them again.

Several mistakes were made through this process such as a dresser drawer broken and a corner of wall was chipped. I could also see the old paint through one coat of new paint in a bedroom and the wall behind the toilet was not painted. These items were eventually fixed but only after I made multiple requests. Tod Peterson however denied that any of the issues was his responsibility such as stating that the drawer was already broken. As for the paint, I had to point out numerous spots were you could see the old paint, he maintained he couldn't see the problem, and eventually said he'd have another coat put on just to please me even though it wasn't necessary. Then there was one more thing. My daughter had just bought a new pink training bra that had been sitting on the top of the broken dresser drawer that had been pulled out for them to fix. That evening the bra was missing. I mentioned this to Tod stating I didn't know where it went but I wanted him to know in case it was one of his workers. He smiled and nonchalantly dismissed the notion stating that did not happen. In all honesty it was his completely flippant reaction that I found most odd.

It went great they had it done in one day

Provided a professional bid and contract for the project.  Then conducted the work in accordance with the contract.  Work was performed in a professional manner, on time and with very good quality.  We would definitely use him again.

They discovered some rotten wood which called for a replacement and they also made a determination that i also need anew floor put in the bathroom. They were professional, confident, timely and did well at a minimum price.

We called 10 providers, and Tod was able to come over same day!  He made three trips to get the right ladder and then to get a secure piece of flashing to pin the old piece with -- our roof is really tall (old house, attic level), and he was determined.  He gave us good advice on how to treat this old aluminum siding in the near future.  He was really like a knight in shining armor, coming out the same day and fixing this dangerous situation.  IN THE POURING RAIN!!  I can't say enough good things !  Wow!

Tod is a professional man of integrity, creativity, detail and patience; and a good sense of humor when his customers make changes, deletions or additions. This excellence in leadership is reflected in all of the people that work for and with TG Peterson.
     His bid was on time and detailed. The on-site labor force were all intelligent, articulate, polite, and neatly groomed people. Like Tod, when we were debating changes, they offered their own creative ideas. This was the largest project we've done in 20 years and we were gently guided throughout the process. 
    As much as they could, they minimized dust and dirt in our home during the remodel (we lived off-site while the work was done). There was an unexpected 2-day delay - caused by blacktopping - and last minute requests by us ( the homeowners), but they finished within the time allotted. We share one common wall with our neighbors and rather than complain, they told us how wonderful all the working crews were.

Overall my experience was positive. Tod is very professional and was by far the more responsive contractor we met with. His proposal was clear and included a calendar/timeline although the project didn't always line up to this timeline. Our remodel started on the date Tod indicated but went longer then the three week timeframe outlined due to a couple fixes that needed to take place. Had these been unnecessary the project would have finished right on time. The Supervisor Steve was in one word AWESOME. If we could have Steve complete the whole project, I'd rank this an A+. Unfortunately, he was pulled for other projects TG Petersen was working on (no different then any other construction firm) TGP finished a 1500 sq ft basement including new ceilings, can lighting, custom lighting over pool table, new wall and double doors for bedroom and egress window. I elected to do the painting, which Tod was more than flexible with which was great.

Overall, Tod and his team did a great job of not only meeting but exceeding out needs. His design incorporated all of our must haves in our new bathroom and layed them out in a functional way. He was patient with us as we asked for changes from the original work order and made sure that we got what we wanted in the end. Our home is very old and as a result we ran in to some set backs that delayed the project. However, Tod was able to react to these surprises and clearly communicated our options to work through them.  In the end, we are extremely happy with our new bathroom and closets.

I think they are reliable they kind of suggested ways to reduce the price in order to stay within the budget.  They were very professional and they really do good work. I would use them again in the future.

They did a beautiful job. I liked the thoroughness of their work and that their price was reasonable. Once I had a bid from them, which I thought was acceptable, I proceeded to sign the contract and give them a down payment for services. Then I had to wait for their schedule to clear before they could actually get in to do the work. They were very punctual.

It was easy to get the estimate, the work was done on schedule, and at the price estimated. All personnel involved were professional and helpful.

the overall experience was very good.
i love using my shower once again!

From start to finish the service and execution of the project were excellent. I've worked as a carpenter before, so I had some pretty specific ideas about what I wanted, including a few aspects of the project I wanted to do myself. I also had a plumber already selected to do the plumbing rough-in. Tod had no problem working with me under those circumstances, and helping me develop my design. I'm pretty particular about how the quality of the finish work, and have had trouble before in getting work done that I am satisfied with. But the project came out great, fully meeting my expectations. Although there were a handful of things that I felt didn't come out as well as they should the first time, Tod was very responsive to those comments and requests, and corrected everything to my satisfaction. In many instances he pursued me for my punch list, and made sure everything was completely right before he called it a finished product. Tod and his crew were respectful and professional, problem solvers and easy going at the same time. Finally, I felt that I got a lot of work done at a very fair and reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Overall we had a good experience. The team was punctual and responded well to any concern we had. A few hiccups with installing some tile in the shower and a few other details here and there, but the problems was fixed after we brought them up. Tod and his team were very friendly and easy to deal with. Price a little higher than the other bids. Highlight was a custom vanity that Tod's cabnit guy created..very nice. Overall, B+ / A -

It went well. I usually do my own work or have family members assist so hiring a contractor was a big step. I'm pretty picky. For a little room, this had a lot done to it. Price was in line with other estimates I had gotten, however some of the additional issue charges (see above) seemed a bit high. I did ask Tod for a breakdown of materials and labor on original quote, but he indicated he didn't break things out in his quotes. Another Angie's Lister had mentioned this as well. Tod and his crew are responsive and diligent. If I wasn't happy with something, they fixed it - they answered questions and explained things. His plumbing and electrical subcontractors are very good and just as professional. The project took a little longer than originally forecasted, even without Fed Ex damaging the first set of shower doors. I graded them an A because they showed up as promised and finished the job! My grading of a B on quality was based on the ceramic tile work - specifically the field tiles and the cutting the field tile for the inlaid slate tiles and installation. Overall Tod's guys did a good job - everything works, job is done. I would consider hiring them again.

Tod was helpful in advising how best to deal with damage resulting from a broken water pipe. His crew is very friendly, professional and accommodating. Our new floor looks great and feels very solid. Pricing for repair to 1st floor wall/ceiling (add-on to original job--skim-coat of wall; sheet rock on ceiling) seemed a bit high. But overall work was done satisfactorily and I am pleased with the experience.

Todd was very practical and understood the reality of a family's budget. Todd personally helped with all aspects of design, layout, material selection, and great advice and suggestions. The result is very high quality that immediately provided a great living space addition to our house. We could tell that Todd, Joe and Steve took great pride in their work. They stick to the budget and the schedule. A great value we would recommend with no hesitation.

They did everything that they were asked to do. I might hire them again if needed.

Tod Peterson worked with me on all the details of our bathroom, and I was most impressed by his attention to details and his focus. He was extremely helpful with things we hadn't thought about. We were able to leave for a long planned vacation for twelve whole days. The workers came and went while we were gone. When we returned the job was half done, and took two more weeks to complete. The workers were all polite and professional. I actually enjoyed interacting with them. While we were out of the country, Tod made a decision about adding some pressure boosters, as we were unavailable to discuss this with him. I felt ok with this, even though it increased the cost. Even though I thought the total cost was a bit high, I felt that we never had to worry that we would not get good quality work and professionalism.

My overall experience was great & work was completed well by all tradesman.

Tod was courteous and helpful throughout the remodel. He gave us ideas on how to save money (i.e. save the old door and have it refinished instead of placing a new one). He told us the job would take about two to three weeks and so it was. The other two contractors gave a six week minimum work completion time. This was important to us as this was our only bathroom. Tod also reset the toilet every night but two as we requested. At one point I noticed that the new toilet had a flaw in it. Tod came by the next day, checked it out and replaced the toilet. He was also a good resource on types of hand-held showers. His vendors were less expensive for the fixtures we wanted. Somehow he arranged that the inspectors arrived in a timely manner, so the work could go on without interruption. It is now a year since we had the remodel and we are very happy with the work and the bathroom. It looks great! P.S. We got Tod's name from Angie's List.
