Workers were onsite for approx 7 hours and the only items they got to were replacing the back door and toilet. They worked 7 hours on the door alone and I've since found it that they purchased and installed the wrong door (wrong size). It was left unfinished and they damaged the walls surrounding the door. I paid $1190 labor and $400 parts for the wrong door and poor quality installation. All of this will have to be repeated because the work was not done to code and the door locks now stick and will not open. No other item on the to-do list was attempted.

They were quick in every aspect even when something came up. They discovered our home has a 5 layers of roofing that needed to be replaced. They exhibited a high level of integrity. And they're pricing was reasonable. They were on the job most weekdays and some weekend.

I needed a new roof nearly two years ago and checked with the city to determine if there were grants to help cover it. There were, but as I had a 40-foot tree that abutted the house, I couldn't use the grant program. The tree had done damage to the siding and because I needed to use HUD for financing, I had to do lead testing. And I had lead. After 18 months of trying to find providers to even consider giving me an estimate I came upon Steve and Clayton. They drove 90 minutes to come look at my home, ask what repairs I'd like, give suggestions and even found foundation damage (that turned out to be significant) that other contractors had missed. The needed work snowballed into many needed repairs but they kept on top of the bid and the sub-contractors needed to do the work. They visited my home three additional times to meet with me and/or the city to determine if they could even work with HUD lead licensing. They did this not knowing if they would get the bid. The paperwork and interaction with the city to meet the requirements is significant. This is why I had such a difficult time getting bids. Steve and Clayton kept on top of all the requirements for both themselves and for the subs. Work was to being in July, the week I was heading out of the country. Strunk took daily pictures of the work and posted them with review, commentary and plans on an easily accessible website. They emailed me every day to let me know the status. When I returned home, I felt completely confident in the work they had completed up to that point and comfortable going forward. What began as a new roof quickly became a nightmare. Once the tree that abutted the house was removed it was discovered that it had caused significantly more damage then expected. The previous owner did a lot of do-it-yourself work (poorly) and all of the windows had to be replaced. Shoddy plumbing repairs resulted in dry rot and termites. Bad electrical on an extension showed frayed wiring near water. The list goes on and on. Steve and Clayton remained positive, helping me to do so. They worked with me and my budget (HUD only gives out so much) and had ideas on how to stretch a dollar. Overall, I think they were grossly underpaid and I hope someday to be in a position where I can hire them again and pay them what they are worth. Strunk may not give you the cheapest bid, but they'll give you the best. It will be thorough and honest. And the customer service is well-worth any additional premium.

We loved that the price was not a surprise, that they communicated well and even fixed up other crappy little things around the bathroom that had not been caulked correctly. I am hoping they'll come back and redo my kitchen in a few years.

My apologies for your inconvenience - I did not intend to bring you frustration. I have let my license expire, as I explained. I am currently in transition, intending to work for another contractor as their Responsible Managing Individual. I did provide you a reference for another who might well do your small woodwork project, I'm sorry if the reference did not work out. Would you like more references?

It did not go well. When we could not get agreement on the basic costs of the work and our interpretation of how the insurance adjusters report was outlined - I knew that we were not going to come to agreement. I was previously impressed with how detailed the bids were.
Description of Work
Steve and company approach to do my project escalated costs. As we got closer to signing the contract we did not have agreement on the work quality nor price. It took several meetings and their interpretation of how an insurance settlement works was not mine. Turned out not to be the right contractor for my project. I hired another contractor whose complete bid was much lower and the quality met my expectations. I would suggest not showing any insurance documents to this contractor.

Of course, as a homeowner, it is our responsibility to get the highest quality and quantity we can for our dollar spent. However, there is an ethical corner that I will not turn when it comes to trying to get the insurance company to pay for ALL the improvements we want done even though they have nothing to do with the damage the insurance company is covering. So, yes, it would be fair to say that this homeowner and our company were not a good match. I am sorry that this owner is upset enough to apply damaging grades to my profile even though no work was ever done to evaluate, as we only do quality work for a reasonable price as those who have evaluated our actual work can attest.

The service was just excellent. He provided us with a firm which came to our home and helped me choose the tile to be used and how to finish it. He had to rip out a badly damaged bathroom floor and then replace the rotten wood. Upon finding that the struts beneath our old floor were not close enough together to support a tiled floor, he built extra support and rebuilt the subfloor so that the tile could be supported without cracking. As bullnose tiles were prohibitively priced, he worked with the tile provider and me to devise a way to finish the "baseboards" by slicing tiles and creating a tile baseboard for the perimeter of the bathroom. And the new floor looks just wonderful!

We saw an offer on Angie's List for a kitchen or bath design. What we really needed was more of a consultation, so we skipped the deal and called Steve direct to set up a meeting. We sent Steve our sketches ahead of time for his review. When we met, he already had some questions for us...and we had a million questions for him. It was a terrific meeting, and he gave us some fabulous pointers and things to consider that hadn't dawned on us. It seemed clear that he has a lot of good practical knowledge based on many years of experience. We're still a little ways out from the actual remodel project, but I'm so glad we have Steve as a resource.

He was very nice and gave us a very detailed nice quote but we didn't go with him. He was very prompt in contacting us. He did just great but someone came in with a lower quote and we didn't have as much work done as we initially thought so it wasn't as big a job as we thought. We would have used him had we not used the other person. His price was reasonable.

Steve was very responsive to a request for an estimate and was very forthcoming during it when asked for his thoughts. He gave us a fair bid , and while it was not the low bid he made such an impression on my wife and I we choose his bid. We haven't regretted that choice at all. He did his best to meet a very short time frame and barely missed the target we set for him. My wife and I both agreed as time went on that what we were asking was unrealistic given the scope of the job. The work is amazing and he wasn't happy until we were. I could not possibly recommend him more - the extra cost was completely worth it. We will be calling him again for any future work that we need done without a doubt.

Steve had bid a large remodel job for us in 2011, but that project fell through due to a mixup at our local code enforcement office. Throughout both projects, Steve was always on time for meetings, always had his paperwork ready, and is pleasant to work with. The work he did at the rental was topnotch, tight and clean. Did a great job insuring the touch-up paints were a perfect match. The only tiny glitch was that they missed painting under one of the windows, but he gladly took a few bucks off the final invoice, and had left me the extra paint so it only took a few minutes to fix. I would highly recommend Steve for remodel projects.

I contacted him. He came and gave estimate for part of the work, but said he had to figure out an estimate for the other part. He came and installed a door then never came back to finish the other part of the job or give me an estimate. I called several times. His phone was then disconnected.

Work was completed on schedule and to our satisfaction. They have very good subcontracters (ie electricians and plumbers) and pay close attention to both detail and perfection. We will have them back when we can afford to have an addition built onto our existing home.

Two bathrooms completely remodeled in our home that was built in 1962. Bathtubs and showers replaced, fans replaced in one and added in the other. New recessed lighting and switches, cabinets, tile flooring, granite counters, new medicine cabinets, toilets and plumbing fixtures. Ceiling fans installed in the living room and three bedrooms. Big job, well done.

Called this company for an estimate on a bathroom project. Gentleman was quick to respond. Explained details of the project and we set an appoinment to meet. He never showed up for our scheduled appointment, didn't have the courtesy to call and cancel. This, to me, spoke volumes on their business practices.

To all clients: Deepest regrets for those who have been inconvenienced. My wife died this month of cancer. I have been struggling to keep up with all that is going on at this time. Lead follow-up has sufferred the most. I have competent professionals that are keeping active projects on schedule. I have typically done all the contract negotiations, take full responsibility and am sincerely sorry for those who have sufferred because of my incapacity of late. I am taking action - turning many of these contacts over to an estimator until I get back on my feet. Thank you for your patience and consideration.

We live in a mobile home and the second bathroom - our guest bath - was ugly and very-trailerish. I had several contractors come out to give estimates for a remodel, for which we had set a cap on spending. Only two were interested in working on a mobile home; Thornton and Thornton was one of the two. I chose Thornton and Thornton because of Steve's manner, his willingness to offer suggestions and listen carefully to my vision of the new bathroom and, of course, the very positive comments in Angie's List that others had made.The entire process went smoothly and the results are terrific! From Steve and Vicki Thornton, to their right-hand man Clayton and each of the subs Steve brought in, the people we saw were courteous and skilled.Our new bathroom is lovely. Steve stayed within our restrictive budget except where I asked for extra work. At those times, he carefully explained the additional costs my requests would result in, and seamlesssly worked those into the project. When I pulled back on some possible work, Steve was gracious and helpful in deciding what tasks could be reduced.I recommend this company without reservation. In particular, the tile work and the computer renderings offered at each stage of the project make this person and his company one of the best professional associations I've ever experienced.

Steve Thornton is a pleasant man to work with. He has none of the arrogance of some contractors. He listens, considers, offers alternatives. He likes solving problems. He also realizes that cost is a factor for some people. We enjoyed having Steve in our house (can't say that about everyone!) and also his associate, Clayton Strunk. We felt safe entrusting them with a key to the place. They worked hard, together and individually; they made sure we were satisfied with each phase of the jobs; they cleaned up thoroughly when done. We intend to use Steve and Clayton for future jobs.

The siding we had was dry rotting, because of the way the builder had prepared it. Those two, Thornton & Thornton, have been doing siding for a long time, and they really know what they’re doing. They don’t just talk up a fancy line. We found them on Angie’s List. We liked how knowledgeable they are. One of the guys is older than the other, and he is really gifted. It left us feeling really comfortable.
