The reason I did not rank the price is that this is the first time we have made significant repairs/changes to our home (other than the roof) in the 20 years we have lived here, so we don't really know how the prices compare with other builders. We kept adding things for them to do, so the original estimates were not particularly useful. Mr. Woods told us he did not want to work with a contract. We agreed to this system, so he submitted a bill at the end of each week describing the work that had been done. We paid on a weekly basis throughout the job. Communication was very good during the process. Mostly we communicated by email and then either Mr. Woods himself or his foreman would get in touch with me if there was a problem. We would either meet or talk on the phone if necessary. The job did take much longer than I expected, but perhaps this was partly due to naivetand eacute; on my part. We expected about a 6-week job (not including the crawlspace work), but it took almost 4 months. I think part of the reason for this was that we ended up with custom cabinets, which we hadn't anticipated at the beginning of the job. They are beautiful and very functional, but I assume the process of making them, installation, fixing small problems, then getting the correct stain took longer than getting pre-made. Nevertheless, the final result is excellent and having them custom-built gave us some options we otherwise would not have had. The floors also came out looking beautiful, although we had to insist on another coat of polyurethane and you can still see a few sanding marks etc. I don't know how that compares with the results using other flooring companies. Mr. Woods and his subcontractors were also very conscientious about trying to keep dust to a minimum and about cleaning up after each part of the job.
We are planning to hire Mr. Woods again to redo the upstairs.
