"Ron did a great job for a good price on our new house, painting the exterior.  Got the work done in the time he said he would.  Ron seems to be an old-school guy that does not take credit card and uses a handshake or conversation to seal the deal.  Was worried at first but he did everything we asked.  Other painters could not match our timing or were very expensive.  Good work.

"I had interviewed 2 other roofers but these guys impressed me. The actual work was even better! I’m expecting to be dry for the rest of my life. They left and the only sign that they had been here was the nicest roof in the neighborhood. You need these guys!"

"Services were great. Spoke to the owner that day of searching. Worked on my time frame. Very pleasant. The work looks amazing. They went above and beyond."

"The team did fantastic job with some minor patches to dry wall and a small plumbing fix. They could not have been more pleasant, thorough or professional in their work.

"He was very professional and did great work. Reasonably priced and the walls look great. Highly recommended!"

"Vince from Firmscor was very prompt with coming out and giving me an estimate on my drywall project. His estimate was tied for the lowest of 3 contractors who actually came out. His quote was $950 lower than the top estimate. I also opted to have him prime paint the whole project, which looked great and saved me a lot of time priming. My hat is off to Bill and Vince for doing a great job!!!"

"After searching for the right contractor for literally years - and having many come to bid only to tell us they were too busy, the job was too difficult, or their price astronomical - we found SAW Contracting through Angies list in July, 2011.  In competing with another contractor for the job, Scott Waltenbaugh of SAW Contracting demonstrated a keen interest in taking on this "challenge" (our old house had and still has a lot of piece-meal problems) and won the bid by being competitive in his pricing, being professional and courteous in his demeanor, and gaining our confidence with his obvious knowledge and experience. 

Reading the extensive review before this, it seems there must be two SAW Contracting companies, for our experience with SAW Contracting has been NOTHING like that reviewer's: our tile is perfectly aligned and flat, as is our engineered floor; our framing is straight and tight; the drywall is smooth and beautiful; the stonework on the foundation is clean and tight and garners many compliments; the assistants were polite, respectful, hardworking and skilled; the communication has been par excellence; the attitude has been friendly, courteous, and professional; and the pay schedule was very appropriate and professional.  We did give SAW Contracting a "new construction, total gut job and addition" work and it came out better than we even dreamed it could.  We had our own certified electrician friend do our electrical, but Scott showed knowledge in that area, also.  Scott had his work schedule, materials and crew organized well; showed consistent and practical planning ahead; organized the job site well; and was extremely efficient with his materials cost and use.  We're not sure what happened on the other reviewer's job, but there are always two sides to any story.  To us, the last review had a vengeful tone, and we find it curious the reviewer stated he had trouble communicating with other contractors, as well. 

Our project has taken a long time to complete for many reasons, but over the time SAW Contracting has worked here, we've come to know a young man who is highly skilled, sincere, honorable, and with a fabulous work ethic.  Scott is a great communicator and truly enjoys keeping his clients updated daily with what is going on and what his next step will be, and he encourages his clients to give him feedback on his work.  He is very easy to get along with, friendly and funny, and takes set-backs in his stride and just tackles problems head-on. 

An artist as well as a contractor, Scott is full of practical but creative design ideas and advice, and has been tremendously helpful to us in choosing materials and even re-designing our original plans - much improved and little to no extra expense.  He would be excellent to consult with before you settle on any project.  In fact, we are consulting with him currently on another project we will soon have him do. 

Scott Waltenbaugh works hard to stay on or below budget, and has actually saved us money.  He prefers the client pay for materials directly and never fails to provide receipts promptly; the few times he has had to pick up extra materials, he personally buys them and presents the receipt for reimbursement.  What little material may be left over - and it is a small amount, as Scott is very efficient and produces little waste - he has asked us where we would like it stored, not keeping anything for himself as some other contractors might.  The actual cost of the job is very, very close to the original bid; the overage we have is due to our materials upgrades (windows, doors and flooring). 

As work progressed, we and our visitors have been consistently impressed with Scott's great knowledge of materials, techniques and trends in all phases of construction.  Scott has built homes in California and Florida and uses his knowledge of earthquake and hurricane codes here (remember the little earthquake we had last fall?...)   Even the building inspector commented on the extra support he included in his foundation framing and was impressed with the quality of the rest of his work, stating Scott was one of the best builders he'd seen.  His superb skill and craftsmanship is obvious in all the work he has performed, but especially in his finish work. He takes the extra time to put beautiful custom cuts on his woodwork, caulking the smallest joints, carefully taping all painting, cleaning the walls and floors, creatively framing windows and doors, etc. A meticulous, careful and self-demanding perfectionist, he has seen and fixed 'flaws' we had difficulty seeing even when he pointed them out to us!  And he stands by his work: he has called numerous times for various reasons to check for water leaks, air drafts, etc. and was willing to come out late if necessary to fix a problem, which, fortunately, there were none (he drives nearly 1.5 hours to get here).  Scott takes great pride in his work and genuinely wants his customer to be thoroughly happy with the outcome.  On that note, he eagerly jumps in to help wherever he sees someone could use an extra hand - even helping with non-construction tasks at times.  His biggest flaw, if you can call it that, is that he spends a great deal of time on small details that really make a difference in the final product but can set his work schedule back.  Our project took longer than estimated, but our result is far better than we imagined and we are thrilled with it. 

Clean-up is good, especially when Scott has his workers with him.  Even without extra help, though, Scott doesn't like to leave the customer fighting through construction messes and tools and takes time to put everything away or out of the way.  He keeps sawdust swept up, cleans floors and is careful about removing boots or putting down floor covering when working in the home. 

If you want superior work and can be patient with the progress, we absolutely recommend SAW Contracting.  In fact, we've contracted with SAW Contracting for the next phase of our historic home remodel.  Should we ever desire to build a new home, SAW Contracting would be our first choice to turn to. "

"Dan and his crew are amazing! I cannot say enough about how professional, courteous and talented they all are: I am so happy with the high quality workmanship and unbelievably good prices. Dan has great ideas and is very creative, and his prices are AMAZING!
I am a very particular kind of person  when it comes to my home, I admit that I'm a perfectionist, and a bit controlling, and I don't like cookie-cutter work, everything has to be just right, and look really unique. Also, I keep changing the scope of the project and adding things...Dan and his team take everything in their stride, listen to me, nothing seems to be a problem with them and they always happily and quickly accommodate my requests (for example, after one of the closets was built (and finished to perfection),  I wanted it moved 10 inches) -- they were completely OK with it, not a problem, they listened to me and very cheerfully undid their finished work and re-did the closet - truly their goal was to make me happy).
Dan's team work incredibly hard,  I am amazed at how fast these guys work and yet still have incredible attention to detail and high quality workmanship (a lot of this work has been billed time and materials to me, so it's important to me to see them all working hard and really fast yet carefully)
Their finish work is amazing -- everything matches the old original plastered walls, paint, gorgeous old trim, the remodel fits in seamlessly - and they don't cut corners, even the interior of the closets was finished to standards higher than I've seen in many homes - absolute perfection. They are true craftsmen that take pride in their work.
The work involved a lot of demolition of old plaster and lathe walls, typically this can be a real mess, but Dan's crew were very careful, as they worked they were constantly cleaning and bagging debris, the work areas were kept really tidy and clean, and at the end of the day it was pretty spotless --  I was amazed at how well they cleaned up all the dust. Also, they were very careful not to damage surrounding areas -- they protected existing walls, our stairs, doorways etc. so as to not track dirt in and out, everything was covered.
Dan's work crew went above and beyond -- while they were working I was also moving into the house, and they even helped move some boxes and furniture that needed moving when I got a refrigerator delivered!
I honestly have yet to meet such a  helpful, courteous, talented and professional construction team (and I have had a lot of past experience with high quality contractors working on previous home)
Also, Dan is amazing at keeping in touch, I often had questions and suggestions as the work progressed and he was always available and responsive.
I'm looking forward to my next reno. project, and I will definitely use them again - I am recommending them to all my friends!"

"Their work was excellent. It was a difficult job. Painting old timber and stucco exterior construction. Also trim, shutters, etc. Very polite. Exceptionally neat. Everything looks beautiful."

"They did a very good job. They were quick and I am very happy with the work that they did for me."
