Get matched with top basement remodelers in Tar Heel, NC

Hello, my name is Alan Breakfield. I am a licensed General Contractor of North Carolina. We offer New/remodeling residential and commercial projects. We also offer lot clearing.

"Overall, I graded the job a C because the finished product is a C.

 The leader of the crew that did the work told me that I had purchased two men for 6-8 hours, and that he was contracted by Cobalt to perform the work, that he did not work for Cobalt.   There was not mention of 6-8 hours in the posting, and I was immediately feeling uncomfortable about what exactly I had purchased.  I bought a crew of "painters", not the support and oversight of a professional painting company.
We had scheduled the work a week in advance, and the day of the job, there was rain in the forecast.  I suggested we re-schedule, but was told that he was booked for at least the next week, and that it was not raining now, and "why don't we get started."

In advance, I was told to get a gallon of paint, and a gallon of thinner.   I assumed the paint would be brushed or rolled.   Was not told that I would also need to provide masking suppliers and several gallons paint.  I did buy a few drop clothes, and had a few rolls of masking tape, but was not prepared for masking to spray.  So, let the painters use 6 mil poly to mask, and had a giant amount of trash in front of my house when done.  (Could have been neatly rolled up, but that would have taken extra time, and was made worse because one of the painters lost his phone and thought it might be in side the plastic wrap).

The rain came about 1/3 of the way through the paining.  They came back the next day to finish, and "sort of" addressed water issues by repainting.  There was a serious hurry to get done and on to the next job, so there were a lot of missed spots.  There should have been two coats applied.  They came back a few weeks later to repaint the missed spots, and the job is complete.  The quality is okay, but well below the original paint job, and would definitely not impress anyone. The ironic part.. I had a quote to have the work done, for $50 less than the Angie's list deal.   I thought that I would get more for my 16 hours of work, but did not.  I did not like the pay before the work is done and hope it gets done right."

"My new floor looks amazing! The staff was very informative about what to choose and expect with the floor I wanted. They were efficient, courteous, and they made certain to cleanup upon completion. I will definitely call them again when I’m ready to do my next room remodel."

"Bobby is amazing at what he does…. We had the flooring already that we wanted installed and thought it was going to be an easy job, but my flooring was not what we thought it was made of…. The flooring was very thin and could break easy, so it made it harder to install or at least from what I was seeing…. But he started doing it and made it look easy… So what I thought was going to take forever to complete, and he completed it in a day… And that included him going out to get more Baseboards, installing that as well, and cleaning up everything…. I cannot wait to hire him to replace my deck…. Thank you Country Boyz Construction…."

"Fantastic! Tim did our kitchen backsplash including between the range and vent hood. Very professional, done in the time frame as planned. Tile looks wonderful. Would definitely hire again for future tile work."

"It was fine.  They did a good job.  It took a couple of days to finish.  They cleaned up when they were done."

"They professionally hung two large TVs to the wall. Very efficient. Very skilled. Would hire again in a second. They also bind a medicine cabinet in the bathroom … pro!"

"Excellent. Great quality of work, they worked with my budget as well as my timeline"

"Professional job and work was properly and timely completed. Have recommended Seaside to friends."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!
