CROWDUS CUSTOM HOMES & REMODELING

.

.

We truly enjoyed our experience using Crowdus Custom Homes. From the very beginning Steve was responsive to every question asked and took the time to make sure we were ok with everything without being pushy. He was able to provide innovative ideas and solutions to overcome an obstacle other contractors weren't able to. His pricing was very competitive and he was flexible with us doing part of the project ourselves (trim work and doors) to stay on budget. They were able to start within our timeframe and the project stayed on track the whole time. Steve's team was very professional and we were very impressed with their quality of work. Steve checked on the project the whole time and even have them reframe the ceiling so it flowed better around the duck work without being asked. We have since referred Crowdus Custom Homes to many friends and family and would definitely use them again in the future!

Crowdus was the general contractor for our bank financed renovation.  He met with us and discussed the work we needed done( all new windows, total gut & renovation of kitchen), wrote an estimate submitted all paperwork to our lender.  He was always professional and very responsive to our requests.  He has experience with this type of bank financed renovation process, so all of his paperwork was in order and turned in on time per the bank's request.  Since we are very hands on, and enjoy DIYing, Crowdus worked around our schedule to get his tasks accomplished while we were completing some on our own.  The only downside was that a couple of the sub-contractors were not very professional( i.e. clogging up our toilet, leaving trash/not cleaning up after themselves).  However, when we brought these to Steve Crowdus' attention, they were addressed immediately.   I would use Crowdus Custom Homes again for a large project such as ours.

UPDATE:  I adjusted my rating to an A on Angie's List, but for some reason, the page has not reflected that.

The overall experience was great. No one likes contatruction in their home, but ours was smooth and as promised. Once we ok'd the plan and got permits, work started when promised. Work started by 7 am every morning. They cleaned up every day and scrubbed the house down when the project was over. Steve even polished our stove once it was installed the day before Thanksgiving. As is expected with these projects, the timeline was longer than originally planned. However., most of it was because we added things or changed plans such as moving the staircase or moving the fireplace. Also, some unpredictable things such as mold in our drywall and termite damage behind the drywall in our laundry room created some added work and inspections. If you are moving walls or removing wall coverings, beware that some unforeseen discoveries may be made. But, every day when I came home, I could see the work that had been done and felt good that we were always progressing with good workmanship and quality. The most important thing I can say is that after our basement, we never bid the next 2 projects in our home. I would have a hard time trusting anyone else after knowing Steve. He also knows that we aren't bidding out our job, and he has never taken advantage of our trust. We can't wait to see the finished product of our final phase. The drawings look beautiful with attention to detail, so I know it will really add to the beauty of our home.

Steve crowdeis was very professional and did an excellent job organizing his contractors and the whole work ended to complete the home.

I was very impressed with them from the very beginning with their punctuality and responsiveness to my needs.  All the team was very professional and the work was done in a timely manner.  I am very pleased with the way everything was completed.  I would highly recommend Crowdus Custom Homes & Remodeling for your new building or remodeling needs.

Please refer  to attached letter.

The project started with the removal of the old concrete steps and brick walls.  Most of that was completed in one day.  A rotten piece of wood below the front door needed to be replaced, which required a change order.  Building the new walls out of Versa-Lok took longer than expected.  Another change order was needed when Steve Crowdus suggested an addition to the wall to make it more symmetric - I am pleased that this was suggested.  When the concrete steps were poured, the lower landing and the bottom step were not leveled properly.  After a rain, water pooled on the bottom step.  Upon bringing this to Steve's attention, he had the landing and step removed and poured again.  The project has been completed for about 3 months now and I am pleased with how it turned out. 

One problem that came up is that the front door won't close as easily as before, so I am planning to have it replaced.  This was not expected at the start of the project, but I have been wanting to replace them for some time anyway.  I am having Steve do this project.

Went very well. Steve was extremely friendly, polite and professional. His pricing was very fair. He did a good job of overseeing the project. The work was done frame expected.
