+ 0 moreJerry came out as scheduled. He was professional and listened to what we were looking for. He spent a long time talking with us and taking measurements, as well as determining what would need to be done. Within a week he emailed a detailed proposal outlining all we discussed. The bid was competitive and comprehensive. We are reviewing the plans and deciding how to proceed.
Description of Work: Jerry came out to give us an estimate for a complete kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, pantry, and living room update.

basement remodeling, replacement windows
+ 0 moreI think the owner himself came around. They were very professional and everything was fine, I didn't have any problems with them. I think my husband was a little concerned that it seemed a little expensive, but we didn't pursue it any further so I don't really know. We didn't get any other comparisons either, so I don't know. They were very professional and the girl followed up to see if we were going to use their company.

+ 5 moreBack in 2006 my wife and I returned home from a trip to find out that a water line had burst in our house and flooded the entire first floor. I found this contractor through my State Farm Insurance Company who handled the claim. Clarke Contractors Inc basically redid an entire first floor for us. They were neat, courteous and on time. The process involved drying the house and getting rid of the moisture. They had to rip up all the flooring and replaced it with tile and hardwood. They also had to replace portions of the ceiling and interior doors and windows too. They also redid an entire bathroom for us too. Their price quoting was right on the dot and I would highly recommend them.

It was not good. Overall it was not too good. The quality and punctuality were OK but everything else was not too good.
Description of Work: I used Clarke Contractors Inc. to come to our house in response to a water leak in our kitchen. It was an insurance claim and we ended up needing to do a lot of work. So they did an emergency water damage repair. We ended up getting a whole kitchen remodel. They were recommended through our insurance company.

+ -1 moreGreat. Professional. I felt like they were honest and as a woman, I did not feel like they took advantage in anyway. Work was done well and everything was quoted ahead of time. Price was as quoted. I like them so much, I had them do some remodeling work that was not covered by insurance. I highly recommend.

+ -1 moreClarke Con hires top quality and friendly professionals to do the work. I certainly rate the actual work done and those doing the work as A++++ in all categories. My poor rating kicks in at bill time. I do not feel comfortable listing all the details here. But there were multiple things that left me with a very sketchy impression of the billing department. Some of the details I do feel comfortable listing: The size of our house was originally over-estimated which lead to an increase in the final bill. This had to be mentioned multiple times before it was corrected. For example, the final bill did not properly list the house-size correction (listed it as a charge instead of a credit). Also, the final bill did not show our initial 50% deposit and thus was way over priced. In the end, the insurance covered everything and I only need to pay my insurance deductible, but I was not satisfied with the non-work aspect of this business. I feel that because they specialize in emergency situations, they were banking on the customer being under too much stress to check their bill properly and they were making money on that. Again, the work was awesome and done right... but the billing part needs improvement.
Description of Work: While we were putting up a new roof, it collapsed. Then, it started to rain and it was a disaster. Clarke Con was at our location in 30min fixing the problem - preventing water damage to the first floor and then putting up a new roof.

+ 3 moreThe employees of Clarke Contractors Company were professional in their work. The care they took to do a good job was evident in how they responded to our problem. We will use them again when there is a need.
Description of Work: There was water seeping through a cracked ring around the plumbing air vent located on the roof above the kitchen. As the result of that leak, water came through the attic and then through the kitchen ceiling. Clarke Contractors repaired all areas involved with the water leak. They then painted the entire kitchen ceiling as well as checked on another plumbing air vent for possible leaks. It was a great job.

It took some time and follow-up (on my part) to get a final estimate. While they were prepared to send people over immediately for emergency work (which was not our situation) getting them to provide estimates and co-ordinate with subcontractors proved to be a bit of a challenge. The gentleman I was interfacing with was knowledgeable and honest about the kind of work that would need to be done and helpful with suggestions on ways to reduce cost.

+ 2 moreWe have used Clark Contracators twice. Once was for water damage to a bedroom and bathroom in 2011. That was done via our insurance company and we found Clarke did a very nice job. They dried out the carpets and wood, replaced ceiling and wall drywall, painted and fixed carpets. All was done very professionally, were very responsive, and quality was top notch. We made sure to tell our insurance company that we really liked their work. Based on our experience, we used them again in 2012 as we had a problem with our outside wooden staircaise leading to the house. It had to be taken down and reinforced and then put back up properly. This time we did not feel we got the same level of professionalism (had to call multiple times to find out when people were coming, especially if they didnt show when supposed to, had to go over bill and challenge items that were not done and have it removed from bill. Finished product did not look great, I had to go back out and recaulk the work they did.) We felt that they treated us better and did a better job when it was an insuraunce job vs. an individual homeowner job. But overall we are happy with both jobs done by Clarke Contractors.

remodeling
+ -1 moreI was told this company can not provide estimates unless you own the house keep in mind we were scheduled to close on October 31st and was scheduling a Contractor Day to gather measurements and quotes for many services through various providers (flooring, tile, painting, landscaping, design, etc) but this company refused to even do a courtesy estimate so we could begin planning and get items on order for a bathroom remodel. As other vendors indicated that some of the materials could take 4-6 weeks to get in we did not want to be without a bathroom after we move in for this period of time and were getting things scheduled promptly to avoid this as I would not have asked them to perform any work of course until close but clearly this business has no need to work with customers and if this is a sign of how they do business then I would think twice before hiring them as they are to lazy for a quote I imagine the work would be representative of this too. I interesting thing is had I not been honest they would not have known that I didn't own the house but it was clearly stated this is the owners policy so he must check all county records to verify ownership before visiting any house who ask for an estimate. I would not think so but clearly this is the policy.
Description of Work: We wanted to have a full bath converted to a half bath which would include the moving of a plumbing for the toilet as well as sealing off the tub or removing it. We would also want to move some of the sink plumbing to center and make more functional than current design and may have need electrical work to move wiring from vanity etc.

drywall, insulation, interior painters
+ 1 moreThese guys were remarkable: * exceptionally attentive (a foreman contacted me several times to explain what had happened, what was next, and to ask if I was satisfied so far) * extremely professional (communicated constantly, worked hard without endless or random"breaks", respectful of my schedule and my property) * outstanding quality of work (I don't believe the claims of "like it never even happened" that others use, but that's exactly what it looks like in my basement!) * rare level of attention to detail (they used drop cloths while painting and with equipment, and swept and vacuumed the work area daily. A visitor to the home would never know there was work being done unless they went down to that part of the house.) I'm extremely particular about who I'll allow into my home to do work, and about the quality of the work they do. I can't say enough good things about Clarke Contractors, beyond saying that I'd gladly have them back in my home. In fact, I'm going to have them quote on a bathroom remodeling.
Description of Work: The Blue Max water main ruptured in the middle of the wall where it entered my house. The basement carpet was soaked in a 10' radius from the that point, and the drywall and insulation were extremely wet. After trying for almost a week to dry it up with fans & a residential dehumidifier, I called the insurance company. They confirmed that there was extensive water damage, and that I should file a claim. The insurance adjustor referred me to a local franchise of a national company that deals with smoke and water damage restoration, but their ratings on Angie's List were less-than-stellar. A brief search for other options turned up Clarke Contractors, who had outstanding ratings. I called them to come offer a quote, and I found out why their ratings are impeccable. 20 minutes after my call, the owner himself arrived, and confirmed, for the most part, what the insurance adjustor and the other company had told me. However, he explained where things might not be that bad, or where there might be unanticipated difficulties. He outlined a contingency plan for how they'd proceed, and how they would deal with any problems that came up. He also said he knew the insurance adjustor very well, and that he'd be glad to do the work according to her quote. I signed the contract then, and he had people and drying equipment in the house less than 2 hours later. In less than an hour after they had arrived, all the wet drywall, insulation, carpet, and padding had been removed, placed in contractor's plastic trash bags (so as not to get nastiness all over the rest of the house), and taken out to their trucks. I had expected them to leave a trail of debris through the house, footprints on the carpet, and a pile of junk at the end of the driveway to wait for the garbage service. (Such has been my experience with contractors in the past.) Instead, the house looked untouched. The owner had also contacted a carpet person, who arrived during their work to take samples of the old carpet for matching, and to explain how and when the carpet installation would happen. He was extremely professional, 4 days later (per my schedule), they returned to remove the drying equipment, and assess for mold and/or damage to the wood framing. Finding no damage, they installed new insulation and drywall, and were finished in under 2 hours. The following day, they smoothed out the drywall seams until they were invisible. I have never seen this level of craftsmanship in drywall work. The entire basement was painted the next day. The carpet took an extra day to arrive, but it was installed by yet another professional crew who'd been chosen by the carpet guy after I had explained my expectations (and after the horror stories I had recounted of carpet installations past...). The following day, the Clarke Contractors rep returned to reinstall the closet doors, shaving them so they'd work correctly with the new carpet. The entire job came to nearly $7,000, which was paid (less my deductible) by the insurance company.

drywall, basement remodeling
+ 0 moreThe contractor showed up when he was scheduled. He performed the work in the allotted time. I was out of town when the work was performed. The drywall finish was poor! The paint quality was also very poor! I had asked for 2-16" closet doors to be installed in the already framed openings. The contractor installed 2-18" doors causing the door trim to not fit properly. LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT VERY INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR WITH MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER!!!!
Description of Work: The drywall was 75%complete in the basement before the contactor arrived All the framing, plumbing, insulation, and eletrical wer already completed. .Finish hanging the drywall in a 1000 sq ft area taped, finish, and sanded drywall. Contractor was to paint and instll trim as well as install 3 doors. All the framing, plumbing, insulation and eletrical were already completed.

handyman service
+ -1 moreThey were wonderful. I initially called them for an estimate to see how much it would cost to do the repairs to the property where we had the mold. I am in a wheelchair and I can’t get inside the property. They were the ones who told me about the mold in the property and that they couldn’t do the remediation. They were more than willing to come out and do the work afterwards like the other construction and repairs. I knew that there were a lot of repairs that needed to be done on the other property. I asked for an estimate because they had done such a good job on the property that I live in. So, I called them to come out and do an estimate on the other property with the mold. That’s when they told me that they don’t do mold remediation, but they told me that the stones at the property were solid and good. It was fairly cosmetic, but there was extensive cosmetic stuff that needed to be done which was consistent with everything that I heard from the mold people who came out. So, they were right on the money. I don’t know to what extent the mold remediation would require further work on the property. They do consistently good work every time I contract them for anything. They have been very responsive, knowledgeable and fair. They tell me exactly what they do and don’t do well. They don’t do roofs and gutters. The guy told me that he would be happy to tell me what could be done and the cost once the other work was finished. It was going to be an estimate, but he couldn’t do the estimate because of the other two things. I liked the manager that I dealt with for my house better than the manager that came out to the other property. However, that was just more of a personality thing. I would most definitely use them in the future.
Description of Work: I contacted Clarke Contractors Inc. for doing some repairs on one of my properties where I had mold. They came out towards the end of August or early September.

+ 1 moreThey are great. They did an excellent job. They were quick, efficient, clean, and respectful. I couldn't ask for anything better. Their prices were reasonable too. It was a good deal. I got another estimate, and they were a lot more. Their efficiency and their professional manner stood out the most to me. I liked their professional manner as far as the estimates and observing job. I even had a problem with the roof, which I thought, but it was not. He came back speedily, checked it, and showed me where the problem was, which was not the roof. They came with their nametag, and they showed their identification. They were very respectful as far as speaking to me. They were professional in knowing their job. They did their job. They cleaned their job, and there was no thrash left. I was very pleased. They are good company to work with.

house painters, interior painters
+ 0 moreLast February my house suffered interior and exterior water damage from ice dams in my box gutters. My insurance company recommended Clarke Contractors as one of their preferred contractors to do the interior and exterior scraping and painting repair work. This work was done in July 2010. In addition to the agreed on scope of services I asked a Clarke representative to look at my top roof and gutters and let me know if they were in good condition. I was told by Clarke that my gutters were in good condition and that my damage was due to an ?unusual weather event.? These statements were false and because Clarke did not tell me the truth I had to contract for emergency gutter and downspout repairs following only a 4 inch snowfall mid December 2010 that resulted in interior damage to my walls and exterior damage to my soffits. In addition to the insurance claim work I signed a separate work order with Clarke to scrape and paint the second floor porch soffits. Unknown to me, the soffit boards were rotten and beginning to sag and affect the slant of my gutter linings. Instead of telling me that the boards needed to be replaced, Clarke spread on a layer of drywall mud -like substance and painted over it. This was discovered when I noticed paint peeling off and when the roofer doing the emergency work pulled up the gutter linings. This is one of those disputes where it is Clarke?s word against mine since I did not ask them to do a separate scope of service for roof and gutter inspection. Because they were recommended by my insurance company I trusted them to be honest and do a thorough job. Clarke has refused to acknowledge any blame and denies that anybody from their company inspected my gutters or told me that all was well with the gutters. I learned my lesson the hard way on this one. I do not expect Angie's List to resolve this issue. I just want others to know that I would definitely not recommend Clarke Contractors.
