work that Jay Bemis at Timeless Construction did on our recent remodel
and addition which took place in 2015- 2016. After interviewing several
contractors we chose to work with Jay. It was clear to me from our
first meeting - he had the ability and experience to do the job.
Our project was large in scale ($600,000 + ) technical, complicated, and
very challenging with many moving parts. The addition of nearly 1000
sq feet to our home required the complete removal of our roof and
rebuilding of much of the existing structure. In addition, we did a
complete kitchen renovation, outside deck, new roof, and a concrete
patio. Jay was responsible for all phases of the project; from
excavation, foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, A/V etc., to the
finish work. We were extremely happy with his eye for detail and
quality of workmanship.
This was true, not only for himself and his crew, but for all his subcontractors.
His crew and his subcontractors were on the job site and - on time - everyday, respectful
of my home, my family and our needs as we lived in our home as the
renovation and construction took place over 15 months. This being my
5th remodeling experience - working with such a crew was a pleasure!
I found Jay?s pricing to be more than competitive and his input and
options to be rock solid. He was easy to work and his constant
communication on the project was refreshing. He was on the job site or
involved with the work underway on a daily basis.
It is without hesitation that I would recommend Jay Bemis to anyone considering a
construction or renovation project; you simply can not do better.
The project started with Jay taking our requirements and thoughts about how we would like the kitchen. He would bring back options and blueprints for us to review.
When we came to a finalized design we started the demolition and building of our new kitchen. it took approximately 5 weeks from the start of the demolition to having a fully functional kitchen. In the end the kitchen was just what we wanted and we are extremely happy with it.
There were two parts to this project; one to gut the old house and redo electrical, pipe replacement (where needed), new walls, flooring, woodwork, doors, add some hardwood flooring, new kitchen and two bathrooms, and secondly, add a master suite consisting of two walk-in closets, a master bath and bedroom, and an office. This amounted to about 720 new floor space to the existing house of about 1700 sq. ft. Total square footage is now around 2400. The project required; excavation for the addition, an additional foundation with crawl space, roof and wall framing, window installation, electrical, plumbing, sheet rock and finish, flooring (hardwood, vinyl, and carpet), interior/exterior painting, a new roof for the entire house, and a new furnace/heat pump. All of the crafts working on this project did excellent work and were at the job site when required.
Everyday of the project the appropriate crafts were on site. Everyday something was accomplished. The builder was at the job site 95+% of the time and not off working on someone else's job. The workmanship was some of the best I've seen. The work against the proposed schedule held true until we asked for changes. The builder worked with us through these requests to keep things moving anyway.
As we got into the project we had some discoveries in the old part of the house that needed to be addressed. This added cost but never the less had to be done. We also added some features while we had everything apart. The builder was responsive and always gave me cost and time impact information with each request. Some changes we withdrew due to cost.
Originally this project was to be about 10 weeks in length, however with changes we requested the project extended for an additional 4 weeks. It is now complete and exceeds our expectations. The home is beautiful and we got everything we wanted (for a price). I highly recommend Jay Bemis, Timeless Construction if you want a quality job and delivered on time. While our project finished 4 weeks longer than originally planned all of it was due to additional work we asked to be done.
When the final inspection was done only two easily correctable things needed attention. The inspector commented that this was a quality job and that we had a good builder.
Since my wife and I have built two previous houses and remodeled two others we had some knowledge and experience with the process so it allowed for much clearer communication between the builder and us. Our expectations were fairly well aligned from the start. Clear communication is an absolute must when doing a complex project like this one. All changes were done in writing so we had a documentation trail in case there was any dispute about the work to be done. One thing about a remodel is there will be discoveries when you open up the walls and you need to be prepared to fix some things before you can move forward. This may add cost and time to your project.
