"One thing Shawn arranges for is to have a lady come in and clean/dust everything after they are done with dry wall sanding and such. That was a nice bonus.  He also found a spectacular carpet cleaner guy to get out stains and wax tracked in on carpeting. Carpet still looks great!

Shawn has a helper named Mike, and Mike is a hard worker. Mike shows up on time, and works as long as he has to without complaining. Shawn does have sub contractors for dry wall and painting.  His painter (Melbin) does an awesome job, but some of the guys that help Melbin are rather sloppy, leaving paint in sinks and splatters on counters.  Shawn made sure it was all taken care of later on though.  Shawn's dry wall guy (Carlos) knows how to get the job done pretty well, but wasn't very conscientious about making sure surfaces were protected (like floors, carpets, etc) from the dry wall compound, and he dumped the waste down in the street sewer- a big "no-no."
  I agree with another reviewer that stated Shawn seems to have a lot of things suddenly "come up" and seems to have too many "irons in the fire." There were several times when Shawn didn't show up when he said he would. Sometimes we would be contacted as to why, other times not.  I think this is common among contractors, unfortunately. They seem to have a whole different concept of time.

Shawn finished the job within a week of our deadline. We had some unexpected add-ons that understandably lengthened the job. "

"Every aspect of their work and attitudes was wonderful.  JD responded quickly, after the first phone call.  He provided accurate estimates, and explained everything he was doing with .  They kept their appointments and all three men who worked on the house were incredible.  The men who work with him are his employees and not temporary or outside contractors.  They were a delight and even were kind to my rehabilitated birds who didn't realize they were to fly away!
They were exacting in their work and obviously took pride in what they do as they left everything very clean and wiped all spots and fingerprints off the windows.  I thought my eyes had miraculously improved!
I highly recommend Wood Rot Solutions.

"We recently bought a home with a detached garage that needed significant foundation repair. We were told by several larger, well known contractors that they would not do the job due to the amount of work needed and concern that the structure would fall while lifted."

"From the start Ryan was a pleasure to work with. He knows a lot about sales and customer service, and never stumbled once with prompt replies, professional attitude, and honesty. He gave me a quote to replace tear off all of the old aluminum siding, locate and repair any exterior water damage, and replace with color lap siding. I am a single homeowner with a very busy schedule and he was always patient about finding times to meet and would always answer my calls even after business hours. One thing I also found handy was his responsiveness to email and text, since I have a job that does not allow mid-day phone calls. At first I thought his quote was way too high, but when I started to do my research it was actually extremely reasonable, especially for a top-of-the-line product like Hardie siding. We decided to expand the project a little bit, and add vinyl pocket windows while we had the siding off the house. Ryan was very comfortable with this last-minute change, and even sent us to an office where we could see the windows ourselves. If you do by the Simonton windows from KC exterior pros I would strongly suggest buying the higher end series for just a few dollars more per window. They look MUCH better than the low end series and only increased the cost a little bit.
It took me almost a full month do decide on a color that would go with my 70 year old brick house, but Ryan was very patient and helped me by providing samples and even address of houses with the colors I was interested in. After finally coming to a decision I can say I  am very happy with the way it turned out.
When it was time for the project to start, Ryan was around all the time, sending me text updates while I was at work, and confirming decisions at every step of the process. He obviously spends much of his week quoting future products but he was at the house multiple times per day would always meet me late in the evening if I requested it. When I was searching for a contractor I knew I would not be home during the days of the project and needed someone I could trust with my home, my belongings, and even my dog. Ryan was that man, and gave me a great sense of comfort. His team leader, Dalton, is also great. Anytime I had a question he could answer it, and just seemed like a really good guy.
When we got to demo, we found old stucco, water damage, and dysfunctional gutters that all had to be addressed quickly. Ryan got all of these things taken care of in a timely and cost-efficient manner. As the siding started to go up it looked great on most of the house, but I did have one very small area of concern where the workmanship seemed to be slightly lacking. I brought this to Ryan and Dalton's attention and the next day that section was torn out and replaced to perfection. I have a tendency to be very picky but Ryan always handled it well and by the time the project was done everything had been replaced at a level above my expectations.
In all the project was fast, cost efficient, and of the highest quality. I would suggest Ryan, his team, and his product to anyone who was looking to transform the appearance of their house.

FAQs for contractor service projects in Lexington, MO

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.

General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:

  • Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew

  • Provide realistic cost estimates

  • Develop construction timelines

  • Ensure deadlines are met

  • Acquire permits as needed

  • Purchase supplies and materials

Before hiring a general contractor for your home project, it’s a great idea to write down a list of questions to discuss with each prospect. Some example questions to get you started include:

  • Which types of insurance do you carry?

  • Can you provide a list of references?

  • What is the expected timeline for this project?

  • How will my project be supervised?

  • Will you hire subcontractors for the job?

  • What is the best way to communicate changes?

  • Will you obtain all of the required building permits?

While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
