Joshua Deatherage Builders, LLC

They came the same day, were super courteous and worked until after Midnight.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! Unfortunately, we didn't check these people out. After having work done that was twice the estimate, we found out their reputation is deplorable. They do shoddy work, when they bother to show up. They do not honor their estimates and commitments. I have never heard any positive comments about this company, or about Joshua Deathridge. It appears they seldom get asked back.

Deatherage charged us to be the general contractor, and we paid a lot of money for someone who showed up 3 or 4 times in two months. I did his job for him. His contractors cut corners on our siding job. They did not put up drip edge on the roof, despite the fact that I asked them to do so. They had to be asked several times before they did it. After paying $40,000 for our rim joists/siding job, the windows were not flashed when the siding was put on. I requested that the flashing be put on. The contractor put flashing on a couple of windows but did not flash all of the windows. I had to ask again. When I had an inspector out to inspect the job, he indicated that the flashing was done incorrectly, and that there was no way that the contractor didn't know that. Finally, the roofs were never done. Deatherage sent out contractors to work on weekends, but when issues arose, he was unavailable to answer questions which left us not knowing whether we should stop the work (after how hard it was to even get them to show up) or take the risk on finding out the needed change was too high a price. This was a disappointing, frustrating and expensive endeavor. He over promised, over charged, and under delivered. After we fired Deatherage, his contractors called us to say that they had not been paid. Three weeks later, they had still not been paid although we paid Deatherage for the work.

The workmen were very good at their job. We had no problem with them at all. I would highly recommend them and we may use them again, as they are independent contractors and not employees.

First he used non-english speaking workers, very difficult to guide work due to this. Poor concrete laying and wanted to use my gravel instead of providing for job. Intended to reuse old railroad ties for retaining walls instead of replacing them, and did not intend to run new electrical but instead to hook into existing run. Unacceptable as this is dangerous. Also was not going to give any access into attic space until I realized that and specified they must give access. Materials used in the addition itself were acceptable and it was well built, so the building skills are there just in my opinion overpriced. Roof is acceptable but not something I would brag on. Gutters are well done but these were contracted out by the contractor not done by his employees.

It went just fine promt service and good communication. The service provided was done with curtusy and a smile.

First job performed by Deatherage Builders was a bathroom remodel in September of 2008 ~ we have continued to use this contractor for several jobs since because of his expertise in his field and professionalism that was brought into our home. Since 2008 Deatherage Builders has been our #1 go to contractor and will continue to be the company we call whenever we need any repairs, maintenance or remodeling done. We had a water leak from a broken pipe in the concrete slab of one of our bathrooms which came up through the floor and walls. I called several companies and contractors and once we visited with Joshua Deatherage we knew he would be the contractor we would hire. From the moment he stepped into our home he was very professional in his mannerisms, knowledge of the job and ability to price out the job. When Joshua gives you a bid, that's what it is ... not an estimate of how much the job will start at and then tack on additional costs as the job continues. He factors in the possibility of unforseen problems and may seem a bit higher than other contractors out there but I guarantee he stands behind his work, above and beyond any business I've ever dealt with since moving to Missouri 20 years ago. After bid was submitted and approved by us and insurance company the work began. Joshua's crew would show up bright and early every morning ~ cover their shoes with protectors whenever walking through our home ~ All debris from demolition of bathroom was taken out through window and instead of workers walking across the grass with wheelbarrows of debris they would walk it down to the sidewalk and around to a pile being made toward the front of the house that they disposed of at the completion of the job. We were very impressed with the respect shown to our home with the "little" things the workers have been trained to do. It may not seem like a big deal to many, but for my husband and I it showed great character that a contractor would take the time to take off and put on shoes in and out of our house several times per day as to not make a mess by "tromping" through our home. It seemed like Joshua would show up at least every other day or daily to check on progress of the work being performed. We have been extremely pleased with his work and as I mention before he has continued to do jobs for us throughout these past 5 plus years, the latest job was in November 2012 where he blew insulation into our attic. I highly recommend this company and think you will be more than pleased with the honesty, integrity and character of Joshua Deatherage and the Company he has built.
