Modulus was excellent all the way from the design process to the completion of the remodel. His team was courteous, professional, and always responsive to our needs. Christian was on-site daily to make sure subcontractors were doing things correctly, any mistakes were promptly corrected. The quality of work was top of the line and attention to detail was constant. I would highly recommend using Modulus for any large remodeling project.

There was a toilet installed and the flange is too close to the wall. The subcontractor just put a double wax ring but it eventually leaked and the ceiling below had to be repaired. I finally pulled the toilet and order new mounts. We constantly have to "bomb" the room because of insects. One window leaks into the base of the wall and another is showing signs of doing the same. Modulus has never addressed any of the issues.
Description of Work: Modulus put a single room addition on my house. Their crew, especially Eli, were wonderful to work with. Some of their subs were not too clever and they had to be watched. Problems have come later when owner Christian Harper failed to respond to ANY problem that arose and even laughed off my complaints. Last summer we had rain pouring through the closet ceiling with the sheetrock falling down. Had to spend nearly 3000 for a new roof and to refinish the closet never mind cleaning up the mess. They were sending someone to look but never told me. There have been numerous other problems and never any remedy.

Modulus was a wonderful company to work with. When we began the process of meeting with contractors, we were expecting run of the mill. We did run into several of those companies before finding Modulus. We did not run into anyone from Modulus that we did not trust to complete the job correctly and to be in our home without us there. We love our house now, and many of the small touches that we enjoy the most were recommendations from Christian Harper, the head of the company. They were able to make all of our metal railings and wood vanities in house, which added an element not often seen in construction. Throughout the remodel, we had to make a huge number of decisions. Modulus was there for all of them, including taking us on tours of other construction sites they had completed and going to all of the stores with us. We had several small fixes and adjustments after construction, which was to be expected with a remodel of our size, and Modulus has taken care of them without question. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a big job!
Description of Work: We did a complete remodel of our house, which involved gutting much of the original house, including the kitchen. We also added a story to the house. Modulus design was the lead contractor and designer for the entire project.

Christian and his team measured, photographed, and planned our remodel. They were friendly, courteous, and enthusiastic. The design team's tastes echoed our own, so that went well. Subcontractors were courteous and hard working and made repairs as needed.
Description of Work: Modulus designed an addition to our house that included adding a room, remodeling the back courtyard, complete with fireplace and awning. They also remodeled the guest bath, put in wood floors in the master bedroom and re-tiled the entry, hallway and bath. They did a very nice job, particularly with the design work. Problems with installations were addressed quickly and professionally.

Christian Harper met with us several times on site and at his offices, designed complete plans, Modulus design did all work using their staff and various sub contractors including wood floors, large windows, roofing (tongue and groove and metal), decking, stucco matching and repair. Christian and his supervisor were extremely responsive, very communicative at all times and went above and beyond in every way. The remodle was done in an efficient way with great attention to every detail. We were completely satisfied and would absolutely use Modulus again and recommend for any size project. We have used many other contractors and were extremely pleased with the professionalism, quality of workmanship and artistic quality of the work provided by Modulus.

We added and addition and expanded our kitchen and replaced windows and roofing. It was a remodeling job of the most extreme. I have heard that remodeling can break up a marrige! What Modulus Design did for me was brilliant. They created a design that was not the "standard second story addition" it realy is a show piece in the neighborhood. We have people stopping and asking about it all the time. On the substance of the work I happily report that is was handeled very professionally. I understand that some of the work is subcontracted and therefore requires more oversight. Mr Harper was curtious and gracious with his time and making adjustments to the plan when needed or in the case of unforseen issue-common with remodeling. He did not charge for his additional time, nor did he ever seem to knocked off balance by any issues that popped up. Over all I remember the job as a well managed and happily recieved work, that is to-this-day a happy complement to my life
Description of Work: I had a whole-house remodel done by Modulus Design and it was fantastic. I was thinking about how happy I am with the remodel and wanted to re-post! Everyone should have the luck I had when I found this company. They listened to my ideas about design, how I want to live in my house and implemented my ideas too. A strange roof line created a design issue and they came up with 4 different designs to address the problem. I really believe that the design done by the same company that does the building helps with continuity in the construction process. It was truly a labor of love with these guys and it showed. The work they do is first rate and like what they do. Even when it came to working with the subcontractors on the stucco and roofing they made sure everything was done to my specifications and there were many. For example I wanted a smooth finish stucco and the work had to be inspected regularly because it was hand-worked. Also, there were different tones of stucco I wanted to set off parts of the house and the addition. Christian at Modulus was on top of the stucco guys and had them perform to my specifications. I have smooth, beautiful, even stucco. So often we can remember the little problems and have trouble enjoying what we have created or are dissatisfied because our creation was not the perfect model of what was in our head. I will remember this job a savor the success.

Started out good but went down hill when the contractor was not attentive to what his subcontractors were doing.
Description of Work: Modulus was the general contractor for a porch/portal addition to our home. We rated their service before, and posted our reasoning behind our scores., The contractor posted a rebuttal that was disappointing to say the least in that he misconstrued a lot fo what I had originally posted, and will probably do so again so you might want to take what he says with a grain of salt and if you want more details you may contact us. The drywall and stucco work they did for us was bad for the following reasons: 1. they dry walled OVER a bathroom vent and left it that way. I discovered this mistake months after they were paid and gone 2. the stucco work they did is starting to flake off in spots. 3. he above was discovered after our initial report here to the list therefore I have graded them lower than before 4. we have photos of the above as proof My wife and I are both in agreement that this contractor disappointed us because they seemed like such good people. You will no doubt hear a rebuttal from them because Christian is very adept at spinning, but we have no reason to lie and they do have our $17,000.

This report is divided into two sections - A and B. A - Specifically regarding the quality of construction and workmanship, it was good with two exceptions: 1) The light fixture that was moved may have a problem in that it intermittently is half as bright as the other fixture which is a matching unit. 2) The canales were not painted, they were left bare galvanized metal. B - There were some problems that need to be reported so that perhaps the owner/manager can take a look at his supervisory policies and procedures as follows: 1) No construction dumpster was ever provided, even though it was on the contract 2) Workers used our home trash dumpsters for some construction debris 3) My wife found beer cans in our home dumpster 4) Workers used homeowner wheel barrow for the entire construction even though they were only given permission to use it specifically one time because they didn't bring one with them. When the wheel barrow was moved behind a closed garden gate on following days, they went back behind the gate to retrieve the wheel barrow and use it. Subsequently, workers left the wheel barrow half full of stucco mix, and did not clean up the wheel barrow very well after they used it. Workers also used homeowner 6ft ladder one day. 5) The brick patio and some of the window screens were spotted with stucco and/or paint and the workers had to be called back to clean up. Clean up was not great but not totally bad either. 6) The billing invoices were rather unprofessional in design and content, making it rather difficult to follow what we had already paid for and what we had not. My wife had to call the company and go over the charges on the phone to get this squared away. 7) Company has not returned our original construction diagrams of the house before the porch addition, which they had requested to use, as of this writing. 8) My wife told me that the owner/manager offered to buy me beer or wine as compensation for my wheel barrow being used, which I found mildly offensive. Any one of the above would be ok but it seeme as if a pattern of incidents was established and continued. Don't want anything other than for the owner/manager to know the above.
Description of Work: We contracted with the company to build a porch into the back of our house, with the look and finish to match the house color and texture of the stucco, along with moving a light fixture to the front of the porch and wiring and installation for two ceiling fans on the porch. Also, some reinstallation of brick patio was done.

Response from MODULUS DESIGN
This is misrepresentation of Modulus Design as you can see by the other reports. Modulus provided design and construction documents for their residence as well as built the addition. We were originally hired to design & build an exercise room. We designed the project to their satisfaction and had it scheduled to be constructed however they changed their mind and decided to reduce the projects scope to just a covered patio. Modulus was very accommodating and redesigned and rescheduled the project. The portal was then constructed and was on time and on budget. We matched the painted stucco on the existing house with real stucco perfectly. We relaid brick into the old brick patio perfectly. We kept the job site clean and hauled away debris to the dumpster at our shop. Some small amounts of trash were put in their trash can. I chose not to put a dumpster in front of the house because there was not to be that much waste since the scope of the project was cut in half. I explained this to the wife at the beginning of the project. I was doing what I thought to be in their best interest because dumpsters are often abused by people especially around the holidays. It is much more work for me to have to haul debris away. The wheelbarrow incident that the husband speaks of was simply out of convenience because our shop is 20 minutes away and we asked if it was ok. We may have used it a total of an hour throughout the job. We own three. I did offer to buy him a bottle of wine or a six pack of his favorite beer because he was clearly upset about a lil' trash in his trash can and the use of his wheel barrow. I actually bought him a new wheelbarrow but he refused to take it. I also must say all of my interaction throughout the project was with his wife whom was fabulous and a pleasure to work with. She also seemed quite pleased with how things were going. I never spoke with him. We put drop cloths down during stucco and paint. We came back and scrubbed the brick when we were asked to and cleaned up our spots as well as great deal of existing. As for the light fixture issue, I found out about it right here on Angie's List and emailed him two weeks ago asking when we could come check it out. Probably the light bulb. I expect a punch list/to do list at the end of every job which I happily come out and take care of. We are very professional, kind and communicative. We have years of experience doing this work. We have had good clients and bad clients. I treat them both with respect and professionalism and try to maintain a positive approach at all times. Modulus Design is my company and I am proud of it and all of the people that work for me and with me. I am also very sure you will enjoy working with us. Please contact me and I will give you a long list of references. Take care ! Christian Harper #505-480-7345

It went well. There was some changing I realized we needed after the original plan & Mr. Harper handled it all. I was able to choose the tile & fixtures & he helped steer me toward the better choices. Also Modulus Design uses green building standards & recycled the waste from the demolition. I am very satisfied.
Description of Work: We had half of our home torn down & replaced with a two story addition, including new kitchen, bath & laundry area. The whole home needed windows replaced & stucco along with a new roof.

I will say they were very professional, courteous and quite responsive as to the questions I had for them, both before and after they finished. It is really hard to give a price for what they did completely because they specialized on many items I had. They always came on time to do the job.
Description of Work: They completely remodeled my entire garage by putting in a new hardwood floor, using drywall to partition off a bathroom and second room. They also installed 2 windows. All left over material and garbage was taken away by Modulus.
