Vance Construction

We were aware of some bad reviews prior to hiring Josh (Google is wonderful). I called prior customers of his who gave commendable remarks though, and he agreed to receiving payment as work was complete and inspected, so we agreed to move forward. Things were fine for the first few weeks, but mid-project it all went down hill. He quit showing up and would only respond to texts requesting an updated timeline with vague answers. He gave me multiple excuses for the delays. This went on for weeks. The project was started in mid-August. In early October, after my garage addition sat framed and ready with no work for weeks, Josh texted to let me know he is no longer able to finish and the business has been shut down. My understanding is not the first time he has either a) walked away from projects and b) been shut down by the city. We were lucky, we only paid for completed work. My advice to anyone reading this review is to use Google to check backgrounds and speak to the local Home Builders Association as they have many available resources available as well. Since Vance Construction/JMB Builders left us stranded, we found some wonderful people in this industry who went above and beyond to help us finish this project in less than two weeks (from date of my first phone call to them). There are good contractors, this is not one of them. Final note, they have opened multiple business names in the last many years after being shut down, be alert and read reviews carefully.

Poorly indeed

We signed a contract and gave Mr. Vance $4,250.00 July 2, 2010 for materials and part of the labor cost. He never started the job or delivered any materials. If you have a similar experience we would like to hear from you. Cass County Court awared us a Judgement Aug.24, 2010. To date we have not received any money from Mr. Vance. We telephoned Mr. Vance today(March 2,2011) He informed us that he was filing bankrupcy.
