I've left 15 Angie's List reviews for companies performing work - mostly A's with a few B's. I've never had to write a review for anything less than a "B" for a company performing work...until now. The work was completed by Shamrock in June 2013, but I waited until a BBB complaint process ended in Feb 2014 to begin working on submitting this review. First, let me say the Shamrock employees came across as professional during the sales process and the work performed. But, that's where the "positives" end for me...Let me highlight SOME of the issues: 1) According to homeowner measurements, the pad was poured with a slope that was over three times what was discussed with the Shamrock salesperson; provided in the basketball tile company specs and shared with Shamrock; and written in the contract. Shamrock will contest this, but I'll expand further below. 2) According to homeowner measurements, over 60% of the slope occurs in the last 8ft of the slab, so the slope is not gradual at all which makes it very noticeable. If you're going to put a slope on something, even if it's the wrong slope, I would think you'd want it gradual and an equal % of slope across the entire length of the surface. 3) The pad is not "square" meaning the opposing sides are not equal - it is "out-of'-square" by 4" according to homeowner measurements. Not a big deal for a driveway perhaps. But the application of the tiles relied on a "square" pad. So, the initial time the entire tile court was placed down, the tiles went off the pad because the court was not square. The entire court had to be removed and replaced to account for the "non-square" court. The removal and replacement of the tiles took over 12 manhours. The tile company charges $1,995 to install the tiles one time. According to the BBB, Shamrock said, "of course it's not square, a basketball court is supposed to be a rectangle." So, to be clear, I'm not talking about a square shape, but rather opposing sides being equal in a rectangle such that if you measure diagonally, both measurements are equal. 4) Shamrock did not remove all of the sod (organic material) before putting down the sub-base gravel. They poured gravel directly on the sod grass which goes against most reputable concrete company suggestions found online and a homeowner conversation with a civil engineer of removing "all organic material" before applying sub-base. 5) Shamrock did not use a minimum of 4" gravel sub-base as outlined in the tile company specs. In fact, Shamrock used less than 1" of gravel in one corner and poured the concrete DIRECTLY ON DIRT in the Southwest corner of the pad. This part of the pad also happens to be below grade so water collects in the very corner where there is no gravel base. 6) The Homeowner paid $400 extra for wire mesh to be incorporated in the pad. According to best practices, the wire mesh should be placed on 'legs" to ensure the mesh is in the middle of the pad, not on the bottom OR the mesh should be pulled up manually while the pad is being poured. Shamrock admitted "legs' were not used, nor did they pull the mesh up into the pad. They stated the natural "curl" of the mesh would be sufficient. 7) Shamrock punctured the main irrigation line for the sprinkler system with rebar when setting up the forms - despite the fact the homeowner dug up the irrigation line on both sides of the pad to clearly show Shamrock where the irrigation line ran. The homeowner had to by materials and spent several hours fixing the hole in the irrigation line. 8) Shamrock completed the pad in two pours. Unfortunately, the two pads connect in the middle of the court and most of the "seam" is uneven by 1/4-3/4" according to homeowner measurements. The result is the tiles are uneven and noticeable during play. 9) Shamrock attempted to use a "skim coat," to even the seam where the two pads meet on two occasions. Both times, they required the homeowner to remove the basketball tiles; they applied a skim coat; the homeowner had to wait for a day; and then the homeowner had to replace the basketball tiles. This process took 1.5-2 hrs of the homeowner's time each attempt. Shamrock claims the homeowner "approved" the corrections. In reality, it was not possible to approve the corrections until the tiles could be put back in place (the next day) and actually walk/play on the tile court and Shamrock never followed-up to check and see if the "correction" was good/approved or not after the attempted corrections. 10) In addition, Shamrock's "skim coat" fix for the pad seam crumbled to pieces within a few months making the issue worse than it was previous to their "fix" attempts. Shamrock claimed to the BBB that they visited the court and found no issues with the concrete. Of course, pictures tell a different story and Shamrock would have had to remove the plastic tiles to see any of the crumbling seam which they never requested to do. 11) Prior to contract signature, the Shamrock salesperson said the project would begin "within two to two and half weeks." The homeowner decided to go with Shamrock vs. a competitor based on this statement. Shamrock did not start the project until 5 weeks later. Once the date was finally established, Shamrock called the day prior and said they had to move the project out another day. The morning of the "revised" project date, Shamrock called again and said they wouldn't be showing up until 3 hours later than promised. The foreman didn't show up until 2 or 3 hours after his workers. 12) The Shamrock salesperson stated there would be little damage to the yard because they would use ground mats and a small bobcat and buggy to do the work. The salesperson stated the homeowner may just have to seed a little around the perimeter of the pad. In reality, the ground mats "burned" the grass, killing it in places and rather than using a sod cutter to remove the grass, Shamrock used a bobcat to attempt to "cut" the grass to build the forms for the concrete pad. This resulted in huge chunks of dirt and sod being pulled up well past the area for the forms. Shamrock also left the ground mats laying on the ground in the hot sun after they left the project area the first day leaving the mats to "cook" the grass in the late afternoon sun. The lawn damage was far beyond the expecations set by the salesperson. The homeowner had to spend hundreds of dollars for new sod AND 16-20 manhours fixing the damage Shamrock did to the yard. 13) The pier for the basketball goal was positioned incorrectly based on the instructions the homeowner provided to the salesperson and subsequently reviewed both verbally and in writing with the foreman the day the project began. The result is the basketball goal rim is not positioned correctly in relation to the pre-painted lines on the court tiles. Out of the 13 bullet points listed, a portion of Shamrock's reply will likely focus on the slope issue. Shamrock's owner will claim a 1/4% slope equates to 8" in drop over 30'9". I'm not a civil engineer and I certainly didn't make up the desired "less than 1" slope equates to 1/4% slope over 30' 9". The 1/4% slope equating to less than 1" of slope on the court came from two sources: Shamrocks own salesperson who I discussed the slope with at length and the basketball tile company's written specs which I shared with Shamrock. The basketball tile company has installed thousands of concrete pads for basketball courts and their official specs say :"Pour slab completel"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mo/st.-charles/shamrock-concrete-llc-reviews-6211808.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Straight Flush Plumbing","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MO","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Aaron J."},"reviewBody":"Steve with Straight Flush Plumbing is fantastic! I called him toward the end of the day and even though he was already on his last job of the day he said he would work me in. After I purchased a new water heater from Lowes, Steve picked it up for me and arrived at my house just about sundown. Steve and his crew removed and replaced my water heater in less than a half hour and stayed to make sure that the water heater was correctly installed after water was turned back on in my residence. Steve did not charge me an emergency call out fee, installed a direct access shut off valve for free that my builder should have installed when he originally built the residence and gave me up front pricing which was the charge at the completion of his work. Steve went way above and beyond what he said he would do for me and did so at a fair and upfront price. Steve was pleasant to work with, kind to my family and didn't even seem to mind my little yipping Yorkshire Terrier.

The man that we spoke to, flat told us that they did not work on the mowers and take it to Sears, he was very rude! My husband loaded the mower up and took it to Porters to see if anyone might be able to show us if we just were not starting it right; as we have never had a mower like this one. Again we were told that they did not work on them and they did not even offer to see if it was simply something that we were doing wrong. They told us to take it to Sears! Logic would tell me that the store that you purchased the item from should be where you would take it back to, and they should help you out with any problems, but this was not the case. We spent several thousand dollars in this store when we moved to the lake, but I will never enter another Porters store again due to the rudeness and lack of professionalism from the staff at this one location. We did call Sears and explained the situation and we were told that this was not the first time they had a customer complain about buying a Craftsman from the Porter location, and then not getting any customer service when a problem came up with the product. We did indeed load the mower up and take it to Sears where they helped us out with the problem. I think that Sears should stop allowing Porters to sell their product if they are not going to give Customer Support, I never have had Home Depot, Lowes, or Menards treat me this way, and that is where I will be doing all my shopping for building supplies from now on.

"I can’t say enough good things about Richie Builders. I never dreamed this project could be completed so quickly, professionally and perfectly. They tore down a CNN load bearing wall between my living room and b kitchen, installed a beam, finished with drywall, texture and installed flooring where we removed cabinets. They started the job one week after I accepted their proposal. The three young men doing the construction were at my home by 7 every morning and worked until they had to break for drywall setup etc. They were all friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable, answering any questions I had. I was extremely impressed with the quality of their work and their work ethic. I will certainly request their help as n other projects."

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Camdenton, MO
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average.

Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
