Bonds Homes

I was initially impressed with Mr. Bonds professionalism, and promptness. However, as the inspection and conversation went on we discovered he was a subcontractor. All of his expertise was at the expense of everyone else. He brought in an electrician, mentioned contracting out a concrete man , and ect. My husband and myself felt at this point , Mr. Bonds was relying on everyone in his supposingly field to do the entire job. If I wanted my home sub-contracted out we could have done so without the assistance of Mr. Bonds. Now we knew where the $38,000.00 fee he came up with and derived at. Mr. Bonds had to pay the and quot;piperand quot; so to speak. Also, the estimate he e-mail out to us was very unprofessional and poorly written. No break down of his fees. The estimate only stated what was to be done in a vague manner. We were not happy at all at this point.To add insult to injury, Mr. Bonds informed us he is a Fireman/working also for a major roofing company as a salesmans and as a contr actor. Now we are totally confused. What is this man's profession? We began to wonder if he was in between jobs of some sort. He goes on to tell us the roofing on not just our house, but the entire subdivision has major defects in them. A major lawsuit was on going with the manufacturer and the roofing was no longer available. Therefore, our roof was no longer available, and the only way to match our roof , he would have to tear off the entire roof and we buy a new roof. Ofcourse he could provide us with this new roof through the roofing company he works for. How convenient? Through research of my own, I have yet to find this ongoing lawsuit pertaining to damaged roofing in my area. We just figured Mr. Bonds was full of hot air and smoke. It still baffles us how Mr.Bonds figured or came up with a fee of $38,000.00 when home sales are going at a rate of $55.00 a sq.ft. these days. We guess Mr. Bonds is up to his old tricks, because we saw him canvassing our neighborhood the following day. He was going door to door knocking on our neighbors door soliciting roofing jobs.

Contractor carefully explained each procedure that would be taking place. Demolition took place on schedule as well as concrete leveling for floor. Framing was fast and efficient. Window installation was delayed due to failure of correct shipment (not contractor's fault). Contractor was diligent in correcting the problem. Fireplace cut-thru was fabulous. Brick-laying on schedule; problem with hearth design but contractor made sure this was corrected. Existing windows and exterior door converted beautifully to archways that matched complete concept of sun-room. Beadborad ceiling installed efficiently. Custom-made mantle, desk, and window seats above and beyond our expectations. Excellent service in connecting heat/air to sun-room. Fortunately were able to use existing unit. 20 inch tile installed, 45 degree pattern--outstanding. Wood framing, mantle, window seats, desk, beadboard ceiling all stained--breathtaking. Contractor meticulous in details. Careful to continuously clean up debris, etc. as often as possible. Always called prior to arriving or to schedule other workers. Meticulous about having everything up to code and inspected properly. My husband and I had ideas on what we wanted our sun-room to look like. However, we weren't knowledgeable enough to understand the complete process. With the help of our contractor and his assistant we were able to design the room above and beyond our expectations. We took pictures of the entire process and we really enjoy looking at them and showing them to family and friends. It was a great experience and we're so happy with the outcome. We have already greatly enjoyed entertaining in the new sun-room and guests only have wonderful things to say. We highly recommend Steve Bonds!
