There was no follow through.
Description of Work: He came out regarding a project and I never got an estimate. I feel this is what should have been provided after someone comes out to review a project.

Cecil did a very thorough bid before we chose him as a contractor, so there were no surprises. He offered quite a few suggestions in the way the remodel was to be designed that proved to make the kitchen much more functional. Any increases were things we changed / added. Cecil made frequent trips to our home to check on progress of the various subs and kept in contact with us regarding any changes in the original schedule he had given us. Excellent workmen. Person who put in the kitchen cabinets, tile backsplash and wood floor was a very meticulous craftsman, Did a good job of cleaning up after themselves. He created a barrier between the work area and the living room where we stored our furniture which almost eliminated construction "dust." When the work was almost finished, Cecil made a detailed inspection and created a several page "punch list" of details (mostly very minor) that were corrected before he declared the job finished. Remodel did take several weeks longer than originally planned, but we made some changes that required rescheduling. Only problem that we have found since the remodel was completed was one undercounter light that quit working. Was quickly replaced. I love the kitchen.
Description of Work: Complete kitchen remodel with new cabinets, countertops, appliances in a large kitchen. new wood flooring for kitchen, family room, halls, entryway, dining room, new wall between kitchen and dining room. built in cabinets in family room and china cabinet dining room. Cabinets are maple, all have pull-outs. House was built in early 70's so there needed to be substantial additional support under the house to support the remodel.

I had a solar water heater installed and the contractor in Arizona found somebody who installed here. The guy was great and very helpful. I paid the energy company that sold me the solar water heater. He was very professional and explained things. He did a great job.

Cecil did an excellent job for me. His work is professional, quality, and thorough. He has lots of experience which showed in the quality of the work. The cabinet was altered very professionally and much over the quality I expected. The fixes to the venting has totally altered the interior climate of my home - much to the good. He worked with me to identify the products to use as I had done some research beforehand. He explained what he planned to do and we agreed. In the areas he worked, he brought the situation up to code. Plus, his kind and calm demeanor was welcome and I felt safe to have him in my home. I would call on him again without reservation.
Description of Work: Altered cabinet so new frig would fit. Installed backflow valves in both stove and dryer venting systems. Adjusted frig so door would close automatically. Sealed up hole left in wall by builder when venting hooked up.

It didn't go too good. They were here May 13th of last year through July. The cost of the project came to about $15000. We never got an estimate of the work before they started. They just went ahead and began the work without us getting an estimate. I was a little bit shocked when I researched him on Google I found that he was a big contractor in the state of Oregon.
Description of Work: I use Cecil Smith Construction to do some interior remodeling work.

Response from Cecil Smith Construction
I am always saddened when we leave a job and a customer is not satisfied. Unfortunately in this case there wasn't anything we really could have done. We were under contract (a cost plus contract) because of the type of job it was. It was not a simple interior remodel, this was an older home and due to some interior issues we were brought in to bring it up to code, and pull permits for the future remodel, we were initially hired to strictly get it to permitable condition, there was no way we could create an accurate estimate for this type of work, which is why we signed a contract, with the actual homeowner, for a cost plus working relationship. The entire plumbing system in the home had to be replaced, there were other structural and electrical code issues, if I remember correctly. The plan was for us to then move on to the interior remodel, but once we were able to pull permits the client fired us, so he could become his own general contractor. We had no choice but to walk away from the job incomplete. Had we been able to complete the work I have no doubt the family would have continued to live very happily in the home, enjoying for many years our work.

What stood out to me was the breadth of knowledge that he had. I felt that he was upfront and honest with me. He worked with lot of integrity and long hours with me to come up with a plan. I thought he was innovative, imaginative and a very pleasant person to work with. Pricing wasn’t just where I needed it to be.
Description of Work: I got a quote from Cecil Construction for remodeling work in my kitchen.
