"Everything was completed to my satisfaction. They did a very good job in some of the difficult areas. For example, painting around thick vines growing on porch columns and beam. Everything I pointed out in the inspection was taken care of promptly with no excuses. Communication was good with everyone involved. I would have no qualms about using company again or recommending to others. Following are a couple of minor issues we had. A few minor issues: We had 3 gallons of left over trim paint. That seemed like an error in estimating amount needed. On the other hand, there was only 1/2 gal. of main color left which is what I would expect for trim also. My hot tub was unplugged before they started because it was empty. The crew plugged it in when they finished without checking with me. It was several hours before I noticed it. I had to reset the heater unit but no damage was done."

"Ron did an excellent job. He was on time, thorough, and professional. He cleaned up after himself and was careful about tracking dirt into my home after he'd done the outside work."

"The project was completed professionally and very timely. I would highly recommend Custom Builds to all my friends and associates."

"We had a few problems as the first crew quit on the job. They sent a second crew out and one of the guys did get fired. They did do the repair work and I am happy with the work. I am happy with the company as it seemed to be a worker problem not a company problem. I have used them in the past and everything has been fine with them."

"Hiring Greg Gardner at Elephant Builders was one of the best decisions we every made. We decided to replace our porch after hassling with the maintenance for over a year. Painting it and continued to have it chipping away. We interviewed 5 companies. Two Home Depot referrals that did decks, two builder/remodeling companies and Elephant that specialized in only building decks and porches. Price wise, the Home Depot referrals were at approx $10,000, young and inexperience guys, Elephant was at $13,000 + additional design items he exposed us to that we wanted totaling $15,000, another builder was at approx 15,000, and the last builder was at $21,000. No one had even mentioned the optional design elements Greg did. Plus Greg said he would be on the job every day with his men. None of the others committed that way. I went to see three of Greg's jobs and talked to the property owners. Jobs looked great, all owners happy, one was even surprised that Greg reduced the final price because it didn't take as long as he projected. My wife and I were convinced, this was the company we wanted. And what a great decision. After Greg's crew demolition, the prior framing underneath we so poorly done and rotted, we opted to have it all removed and have Greg start from scratch. Greg told us what the additional cost would be, which was very reasonable, and then said he was crediting us from the original bid for the work that would have had to be done if we left the original framing in place. Greg and his men showed up everyday on time, and finished on time. they cleaned up, put all of our porch furniture and plants back in place and showed nothing but character and class. Extremely nice people who did what they said, exactly. Even some extra stuff we never expected. You will not be disappointed using Elephant Builders."

"Everything went well. He had to dig rather deep for the footing and then hit our sprinkler pipe but he repaired it immediately and was concerned that the repair would hold. We now have a beautiful deck to complement our stream and pond.

"Aaron is very skilled. He did a beautiful job turning unfinished eaves into closet storage areas. He had a clear plan for the project. He made sure everything was nicely finished and complete. Heâ s friendly and very easy to work with. He offered choices and made sure that we were clear on what I wanted for this project. He worked steadily, showed up on time, and cleaned up everything. I highly recommend working with him for your projects."

"I would recommend working with the owner directly of the company as he is great and has a great working partner that came to look at our project after an initial estimate. The siding repairs were the easy part and done well. We added the redo of a porch roof, and the owner and his employee came with ideas and suggestions to make it look really nice, not just doing what was there before. It looks awesome. They were quick to get to the job and their work is very detailed and professionally done. I would highly recommend their work and would hire them again."

"We weren't that happy with the results. It was a few years ago, and the surface is still pretty much intact. He had to use a primer and deck paint, rather than stain, and the primer showed through in several places as bright white marks against the dark brown stain. He left the extra paint so we could refinish where we wanted. We don't want or expect any follow up at this time. I understand that the deck needed a lot more work than the worker expected. So, my experience may not be a fair representation of this particular contractor.
