Moss Construction

Nice guys. Attention to detail wasn't up to my standards. Tile work wasn't one of their strong points. Again attention to detail. All wood work was done on site and I'm pretty much pleased with it.

Larry Moss is a friendly guy and very responsive (at first). When the water leak through the ceiling was first discovered, I had my roofer see where the problem might be. He and another fellow looked and noted that it was actually coming in through the rotten siding next to the second floor window which had the design of being an "insert" into the roof line. I had a couple of contractors come out and showed them the problem. Individually, they identified the leak as coming through the siding at the window area, just as described by the roofer. They gave me prices and I chose one of them. He was busy for a couple of weeks and would call me. After follow up by me with no good results, I looked for another contractor and asked Larry Moss to come out. Larry was prompt and reviewed the problem. He indicated he knew how to fix it based on his 40 years in the construction business, and said he'd seen this problem on many other houses. He said he'd send me a cost proposal and did, I accepted it, and he called a few days later and said his schedule opened up and he could do it right away. I said please do, but half way through the job I found he wasn't using the materials we had discussed. Disagreements proceeded. I said I'm not a contractor but the other guys who looked at it said the materials should be either cedar or hardy board due to the water contact. He insisted the OSB he had already installed was better. After that I found he hadn't installed trim to close gaps between the siding and the roof. He agreed he should have and the next day I discovered he was installing pine. I said I don't know that much about what should be used but pine sure didn't seem right. Despite his arguing about it, he got some cedar and installed that for the trim. The trim around the window though was already installed with the pine. He also didn't install flashing along the siding as he said he would. His response to that was that there was flashing behind the OSB he installed and that was sufficient. When he finished the job, I paid him, and two days later the rain came down and back through the ceiling below. I called him, but he didn't call back. I wrote to him and got no response. I called him 10 days later from a number he wouldn't know, he answered it, we talked about it and he said the problem wasn't where "I" said it was. My response was that I'm not a construction guy and relied on him. He said he did what he said he would do so get someone else.

Called week of July 14 and asked for a estimate. Larry Moss arrived next evening to look at proposed project . Two days later I was given a estimate and he proceeded with the job on Monday July 21 2013. He was done by Tuesday mid day and came over that evening to make sure i was happy with the job.

I had used Moss Construction previously to basically remodel and update the home I am living in now with very satisfactory results. I wanted to finish things off with a kitchen remodel, but didn't want to spend too much. Larry Moss came up with a plan within my budget and was even able to construct cabinets from scratch that looked great. They have been in business for about 37 years and the experience shows. He and his partner we very reliable, showing up on time every day, no going off to other jobs before mine was finished and providing a very good quality of workmanship. I now some other people who have used Larry and like me, would only use Moss Construction for any remodeling or repair work they need. He said he has even built houses from scratch and my next project with them will be a deck!

It went as painlessly as a gut renovation can. Larry and his team were there everyday, on time, without fail. They worked tirelessly and got the job done in the time frame we had discussed. If something I wanted to do was not a good idea from an investment standpoint, he told me so, even if he could have earned more money. It has been over a year since the work was done and things are till in great shape. I have recommended Moss Construction to friends for all kinds of jobs and have not had a single complaint. They always thank me for the good tip, as reliable contractors are not that easy to find.
