Executive Builders (EB) is the best, and I 100% recommend them for any job.
Matt was our project manager, and Mike was our main general contractor.
Selecting a Contractor
I initially talked to 10 contractors over the phone, that had great ratings on Angie's List, and then had 4 of them come out to give us detailed estimates. Here are the things that set EB apart.
- They don't use subcontractors, everyone works for them. - We knew this job was going to take a month or more, and this went a long way to helping us feel comfortable having contractors in the house.
- Their quote was very detailed and professional. - I knew there were things that I wanted to upgrade ahead of time. This gave me an accurate comparison with the other contractors' labor costs, and to make sure I wasn't over paying for the upgrades.
- Their showroom was convenient and had good pricing.
- Matt did a great job of helping us with our options, and told us up front what would drive the cost up.
EB's price was higher than 2 of the other quotes initially, but after negotiating, they came down to near the lowest bid. From a service comparison, we didn't think the lower bid would have done as good a job, and we felt the slightly higher price would pay off because of that.
Professionalism
These guys were amazing. They showed up on time every day. They were polite. They protected the rest of our house while they were working and cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day.
Because of the age of the kid's bath, the tile on the walls required major force to remove and that caused nail pops and cracks in our living room. They repaired everything and you would never know!
Eddie in the showroom was great. He helped us stay in budget and pick out combos that would look great together.
Workmanship
I have to give Mike the big kudos here. Not only was he overseeing everyone's work, but he custom made a number of things in both bathrooms that just came out beautifully. We have baseboard heat and he made new wood covers to match the bathrooms. He made the new shelving in our master, and remade a custom cabinet in the kid's bath. Here and there little things were left undone or not perfect, and every time Mike ensured that everything was fixed and 100% up to quality.
Everything was done with very high quality!
Responsiveness
Before the job started I was mostly dealing with Matt, and it would take a few days, and sometimes multiple contacts to get a response from him. Once the job started I mostly dealt with Mike, and he was AMAZING. You asked him something, and he got it done or got an answer asap. Mike Mike Mike!

Overall, the experience went as positively as I could have expected. We had 4 different contractors come to our house to give estimates. Of everyone who came over, we felt the most comfortable with Steve from EB&R as he seemed most concerned with what we wanted and wanted to make sure we were completely set on the design before starting. EB&R was not the cheapest or the most expensive option (though it was a fairly tight range of quotes), but we decided to go with them given our comfort with Steve.
Steve was very helpful through the whole design process and met with us on several occasions at his showroom to help us pick everything (we were a bit indecisive) and we liked the photographic renderings he sent us to visualize what the bathroom would ultimately look like.
Tim managed our project and was very professional and punctual. We felt comfortable with Tim, which is important as he was at our house all day without us. Everything came together well and to my surprise the project was completed within the window we were initially given.

The back sliding door was is great. No problems with the door (Pella door) or installation.
Here was the problems with the door and window in the front of the house. First, we went with Pella because they were the only company that made the entry door and window with mini-blinds between the glass. That is what we wanted. In addition to the contractor researching who made these, I also did. And, I could only find Pella making these windows.
We signed the contract early May 2015. Everything was completed in November 2015. Based on what was told to us in the beginning project should have taken about 6 weeks: 3-4 weeks for the door, sidelight, and window to be made, and a week or so for installation. (the sliding door in the back was bought from Lowes, no need to make a custom sliding door).
So, why such a long time to completion:. First, it took Pella almost 2 months to complete the window and door. The contractor installed, then we noticed two problems: First, the door with sidelight we cream colored, not white which we had asked for. We then found out when a Pella sub-cntractor came out several weeks later, that the door and sidelight were only primed, not finished with white paint.
The other problem had to do with the Window. The window was tinted with green (argon), which we did not ask for.
A few weeks later a rep from Pella came out. He agreed to replace the window with clear glass, which took another 4 weeks.
The contractor and Pella each blamed each other. The Executive Rep said he ordered white for the door and sidelight and clear glass for the window. The Pella Rep said the Executive rep ordered unfinished for the door and sidelight. In all honesty, I can't see why the Executive Rep would order an unfinished door, as they would have to paint the door and sidelight (which they did), therefore, more work for them. As a result, I tend to believe the Executive Builders Rep that it was Pella's fault. But, I really don't know for sure. I tried to reach the Executive Builder Rep to talk about what he ordered, but he was no longer with the company. I had also asked previously for a copy of the order to Pella to see what was ordered, but never received it.
The work itself was good, with some exceptions. There were two people on the job: Mike the project leader and another person who is also no longer with the company. The other person did some of the painting. In the back there were a few small drops of paint on the inside floor which were not cleaned up. I just cleaned it up myself. He didn't use a drop cloth. The painting on the outside frame in the front was somewhat sloppy in that some of the paint got on the stone surrounding the frame, as well as on the footer that had been installed. Before they finished up weeks later, they were able to get this paint off the stone. Mike and the new person who finished the painting did a good job.
In addition to all the time this small job took (6-7 months), we were not happy that Pella would not give us a new entry door as well as a new window. The reason being that the factory finish is spray painted, and our door and sidelight ended up being brush painted. So, if you look hard you can see the brush marks.
Another factor in the time it took to complete the project was each company blaming the other for not returning calls and emails on a timely basis.
Based on all the excellent reviews for Executive Builders here on Angies List, I'm thinking our case was far from the norm. In all fairness I think I need to say that. I think it was a bad experience everyone involved. I asked Pella for a refund, and we got a $100.00 refund, not much considering the cost of the door and window. At the end, I asked Executive Builders for a refund and I think we got a $200.00 refund. I say, I think, because the invoice for the final payment was @ $200 less then the previous final invoice. In other words, we owed @ $200 less on the final payment.
In addition to all the frustration above, one of the things that upset me the most was each company blaming the other for the problems. The the people that were due the truth about who did what were us.

I finished my basement and had them put in a full bar, home theater, full bath, bedroom, game area, and lounge area. I'm extremely happy with how everything turned out.
Mike was my project person. I had some changes throughout the process and Mike was great to work with because he did a great job communicating with me to make sure I was happy.
Everyone from Executive Builders was great to work with and I would recommend them.
