We live in the family farmhouse, which was built in 1840. Since we have a growing family, we had to expand. The house has had about 4 rooms added over the past 178 years, and had many different roof lines and jutting walls. We wanted to add a large addition and add some cohesiveness to the structure. This job was far too big for anything I could attempt even though I have worked professionally as a roofer, mechanic, machinist, and farmer. Dan was recommended by a family friend who works in the construction industry and am so glad I found him. We called Dan, he made a site visit, and we brainstormed the project. Dan was courteous, timely, knowledgeable, and really thought carefully how to make our dream house a reality. After getting 2 quotes, he was easily 20% less than the other guy. We decided on tearing down the back 2/3s of the farmhouse, and then adding 2750 sq feet. This would include 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an open first floor space, new kitchen, and tying into the old farmhouse remaining. Dan's scope was the demolition, new footer and slab with radiant heat, footer drainage, rough carpentry, rough plumbing, and install the windows and doors. I was able to observe Dan and his guys throughout the project as I was on site every day. We really needed the project done efficiently and correctly as our temporary living situation was not ideal. We started in early September. The demo was done in 2 days. Dan's guys were very respectful of the demo knowing how attached we were to the old farmhouse as he helped me salvage the main beams and other important curio pieces of the place which we plan to incorporate in the new addition. With the slab in and radiant pipes run and pressure tested, the guys started the walls. First floor interior and exterior walls were done in 10 days, and floor joists and second story sub floor was done in the next 10. The next 10 days saw the second story interior and exterior walls done, and trusses were done in a day. The walls were all covered in Tyvek by this time. Three days later the roof was sheathed. The roof was a lot bigger and a lot steeper than I thought, so even though I had worked as a roofer in the past, I handed that task over to Dan's guys. They had the roof done in one day. As a former roofer, I am not easily impressed, and these guys were amazing. They were as fast as I have ever seen and did a great job, and once again, a very good price from Dan. So glad I handed that job over to him. December 1st, we had a water tight structure with a roof. The rough plumbing was pressure tested and we have had no leaks since charging the house with water. I completed my electric throughout the project. I really enjoyed working with Dan and his guys. His guys are incredibly hard working. By this time, working with Dan over 3 months, day in and day out, we knew he was a solid, honest, and quality contractor and kept hiring him on to do more work. We have since hired him to do the drywall work (came out perfect the first time), and we're having him back to do the siding in the spring and who knows what else. We didn't really get quotes from other guys at this stage, because time and again, Dan was not only the best price, but the quality of the work is phenomenal, he's responsive, and I know what he's going to do will be right and fairly priced. He does NOT cut corners (I would know), and only uses top quality construction material. There were a few errors here and there, and every time Dan and his guys made it right. Throughout the project, whenever I would have issues with work that I was completing on my own (electrical) Dan would provide input and guidance that was an immense help. Dan was always available and willing to explain what was being done and to answer any questions we had. Many times he would stop by on his own time to offer in sight or input on things I was doing at the house. Outside of the project I have gotten to know Dan pretty well. I am happy to report he is a good ole country boy like me. It's refreshing in this day and age to find a guy who sticks to his word and doesn't play games. And really, at this stage of the game, I consider the guy a friend. I am so glad we found him, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to get any project done. These guys can do it all.
