After another day of work, they disappeared for several days, stating they had other jobs - but would return. On the the final day, the small crew spent more time sitting than working and proceeded to throw cross ties on the structure in a haphazard way with no attention to form. Small pieces were thrown in at arbitrary places, the main posts were not even touching the wall with large gaps, they threw dirt in places to cover the lack of gravel for drainage, and cut one support post so low - there would be nothing there to support the finishing levels. They then left for the day on a Friday at 3:00 pm. My husband made phone calls and sent several emails letting them know of the errors they had made. they sent us back a email stating that we had 2 choices. We could allow them to finish the wall - as is - or we could pay them 70% of the final cost and they would take all equipment and leave the project. That Sunday night - there was a torrential down pour- flooding the driveway with mud as a result of the unfinished job. (We had just had a solid week of sun.) On Monday, a member of the company came by to see what we had decided - and when he saw what a horrible job the crew had done, he told us there was no way they would correct this, but in light of how poorly the work was, we would not receive a bill. We were left with the mess. Now we have a driveway with a mountain of mud that spreads out everywhere every time it rains and probably wont be able to get another company out here for months. We have no use of our driveway or garage. Our drains are already clogged with mud. Several contractors have come out to survey the job and provide an estimate. In all three cases - they could not believe how incompetent the crew was - how poorly the wall had been constructed and the obvious steps that had been eliminated. The company will undoubtedly respond to this review (as they did another reviewer with the same problem) They will tell you that we changed the design after the project began. We did not - it was a necessary part that was communicated from the beginning with email communication to document negotiations. They will tell you that the structure they were building was sufficient and would stand over the coming years. After the first rain - it was already failing and I wish I could post pictures to show what mess it was. Bottom line - this is the second review being provided with the exact same complaint. Poor work, no responsibility for their mistakes and ultimately being left with a mess for us or another contractor to fix. I cant explain the other good reviews. Perhaps they have more than one crew - but it you get stuck with the B crew as we did, as well as the other reviewer, the money, time and absolute frustration will go on for months. Save yourself.
We entered into a fixed price contract for this builder to build our home. He claimed at the end of the project to need an additional 60K to finish the home. He did this a week after we had our second child and the home was to be complete within a few weeks. We also found out at this time he had not paid over $60k to suppliers and subs dating all the way back to the concrete used for our foundation. He never finished the home and placed a lien on it claiming we owed him almost $80k to cover claimed "overages" and seeking payment for things he never started, or completed. or things he never owned like our lot. He also did all plumbing except for the plumbing in the slab himself and is not a licensed plumber. The home just sat incomplete for months. The company filed for bankruptcy days before we had a court date to try to get what we believe to have been a false lien removed. The owners of this company Matthew and Ken Avery were/are involved in so many lawsuits personally and professionally. We found out after the fact we were at least the third family for the Avery's to build a home for and then file a lien on the homes they are remodeling/building claiming the homeowners have caused so many "overages" meanwhile taking your loan money and not paying subs and/or suppliers. The home also had numerous stop payments in place as the builder did not pay suppliers and subs as stated previously. He took drafts from our loan to pay for these items, but did not ever pay for numerous items in our home like HVAC, windows, doors, concrete, etc...His claims of overages are on things we never asked for or were never told were over budget items. In our case he took all but 6k of our loan money and left the home incomplete and needing an additional 60k to finish. So far the Avery's have been able to bankrupt this company and move on with business as usual with another LLC they have. In the construction industry alone they have had at least 3 different names. I would never recommend anyone to do business with these men. It is disgraceful, in my opinion, how many families have been hurt by them. The company was ordered to never renew their license (the license had already expired at the time of the hearing with the Board of Contractors) and Matthew Avery lost his personal residential builders license due to the gross negligence and/or misconduct in the building process of our home. We also hope one day the company, or the individuals behind it, face criminal charges.

So in 2 weeks time I went down to them and I walked in and I said \"Listen stop what you're doing and tell me if you can do it or find somebody else because I want to go forward with my job and get this thing done.\" So they finally called me and said \"Oh thank you for your patience and Mr Knight was out of town and was having bad cellphone reception and was unable to contact us.\" And that's why it's been delayed.

Mr. Avery is very good at selling himself and his companies to acquire your business but not at delivering. Throughout the building process of our home there were weeks at times of no sub contractors on the job site, then at times different sub contractors all in the house at the same time causing disorganization on the job site. We were even getting complaints by some of the sub contractors about the lack of job management by Mr. Avery. As we neared the end of construction Mr. Avery informs us that he will need approx 62k to finish the home while my wife was in the hospital after having our second child. Keep in mind this is a Fixed Price Contract, and we had already settled up on things we were informed of being over budget on by paying out of pocket for our septic system and appliances while allowing Avery to obtain the draws for these things and use them as credits towards our overage. We found out shortly after his demand for more money on our fixed price contract that it wasn't just a few suppliers who did not get paid, but multiple suppliers being owed over 60K. The unpaid bills date all the way back to the foundation work. He had signed affidavits with the bank along the building process stating that amounts owed had been paid in full. He then placed a false lien on our home which included amounts for things such as payment for the lot which he never owned, a near 5K miscalculation in the amount he had been paid to date, credits for being under budget when he left our home incomplete, and payments for work never done. One of the areas he charged us with being over budget was on insulation. Avery used his own spray foam company to provide the insulation and Avery was the one who provided the estimate for the job. We had filed a counter suit against his company and a motion to expunge his false lien; however, Avery Construction filed bankruptcy and he has now reinstated a previous LLC and renamed it Centerline Construction. This is at least the third name he has used for his construction company. He also did all the plumbing on our home except for the plumbing in our slab and Mr. Avery is not a licensed plumber which is a requirement of the county our home was being built in. His unlicensed plumbing has left us with numerous problems in the home including a gas leak, a sewer gas leak, and three bathrooms that will need walls, or floor busted out and redone to repair the faulty plumbing. His gross negligence relating to the building of our home resulted in Matthew Avery losing his residential contractors license from the Mississippi State Board of Contractors. We also know we are not the first family to encounter problems with Matthew. My hope for providing this review is that people would be informed so another family does not go into business with him without knowing the facts of his business dealings. Matthew Avery is currently a owner/partner for Centerline Construction LLC and AirLock Insulation LLC.

FAQs for residential design projects in Ridgeland, MS
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.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
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.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
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.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
