This time, things did not go well. After weeks of delays and little communication, we finally had the gas stove and faucet installed. Around 5:00 of the day they did they work, a runner came by to deliver the invoice and pick up the money. (The contract we signed did say that money was due upon completion.) The invoice showed the total due and did not list the specific work done; the runner knew nothing about the invoice and was no help. The owner's wife/bookkeeper did not offer to provide me with a revised invoice showing the specific work done but was impatient and frustrated with me for asking. Since the estimate had more items on it, I was unable to match the estimate with the invoice and asked for an extension until the next morning when I would deliver the payment. I delivered the payment of $1600 the next morning as promised. In mid April we contacted Slansky Builders again (since we had not heard from them about completing the work we had agreed on) and received an email that said 'we will not be available to install the door for you in May or anytime in the future." We can only assume that Slansky Builders was offended by our request for a revised invoice and a 1/2 day delay in paying. The owner, Rich Slansky, did not contract us after the work was completed to see if we were satisfied so it appears that money is more important to them than satisfied customers.
Description of Work: We had used Slansky Builders in 2014 for some work in remodeling a basement and there was no problem with their work. We got what we asked for and the work was reasonably well done. When we were ready to have more work done in 2015 we called them again and were given an estimate for several smaller projects - gas stove install, faucet install, dryer vent install, & patio door install. We also mentioned that later on in 2015 we would like them to remodel a bath for us.

Obviously this is not the norm, as you can tell by the other reviews from non-abusive clients. In addition, the delays were due to the blinding snow and ice we received at the time. The homeowner was rude and demanding of our workers. He cursed them and bossed them continually. It was obvious that his wife was embarrassed by his behavior and apologized for him. Since he never ordered the door so we could install it while there, we felt we should not return for more abuse. We will not subject anyone to being degraded. No money was given in advance as usual, but we do require payment upon completion, not the next day. Try that at Wal-Mart! He got what he paid for and sent me an email stating how happy he was with the work, buyers remorse, maybe. There has been no request for any other documentation. We do not mark up our materials, the homeowner pays actual retail and has the opportunity to purchase on their own, if they choose, he did not want to be bothered. We are a small family business and the "runner" is our daughter, and she only runs errands and answers the phone. It is also stated in our contracts that there will be a late fee if not paid upon completion, he forgot to mention we waived that. Our small company has the right to refuse work to anyone,as well as, anyone has the right to choose any Contractor they wish.

All went well. Guys removed old door, checked for any water damage around the opening, and installed the new one with associated hardware. They did come back after about two weeks when the door was sticking to adjust it. Has worked smoothly since. I did not have them paint the door (it came primed). After spending most of a Saturday painting, I wished I had them do that chore!
Description of Work: Replaced old swinging patio door with new one. Picked up the new one from a local big box retailer and disposed of the old one.

They installed granite counter tops, new sink and faucet, and additional cupboards. They were extremely professional and very efficient. There was a slight water leak which they came out and fixed at 10.00 pm. I was very impressed. I suspect they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

It went as we expected, they made certain the existing deck could hold the additional weight, reinforced it where necessary and the build the enclosure including a new ceiling fan. project came in on the estimate provided.
Description of Work: Company build an enclosed deck enclosure on a deck already in existence. Room was build from scratch and has been no problem now for almost 3 years. Mr. Slansky personally made the quote and worked with his crew on the job. They did what they said they would do in the time frame that they stated. We like the room very much and use it as much as possible

They arrived on time and from then on everything went as scheduled. The remodeling went better than I expected and the results were fantastic.
Description of Work: Removed laminate counter tops and sink. They subcontracted the actual granite counters to another local company. Slanskys hooked up the new faucet that I had purchased, and re-installed the disposal. The price includes the granite as well as the work they did.

Slanski Builders did an estimate on a bathroom remodeling. It was a reasonable price for what they were going to do. We just could not afford it. He was prompt. His work would have been good. He was not willing to not do somethings.

Thank you for your kind words Member. Yes, Rich is very honest when he provides an estimate. He will not cut corners and would rather tell a potential client the brutal truth than sugar coat the the quote just to secure a contract and come back later to say it will actually be much more involved. Because we live in the same community in which we work and may run into you at anytime, we wouldn't want to feel ashamed to face you. So therefore we find it better to quote the actual repairs needed and help with financing or let our clients save for the repairs/renovations. It was delightful to meet you and hope to be able to work with you someday soon.

It took them over two weeks to enclose a garage frame it out and install sheetrock. The quality of the work was good, but the price was not. In the framing out of both the window and door, they had to do it twice, once because they set it too far out and on the door because they didn't measure it before they started and it was a non-standard size. I believe that they charged for these mistakes. I was not actually paying for the service, my mother-in-law was and she did not insist on detailed billing. Do not get an estimate from these people, insist on a bid with written notice of any changes to the pricing. The day after I submitted this review, one of the Slansky's called me. He was belligerent and confrontational. He defended all of his actions and offered no apology all the while saying that he had apologized and fixed other people's problems in the past. It seemed he wanted an apology from me. After talking again to my Mother-in-law, I changed the punctuality from c to d since the workers did not show up till 10am or later on most days.
Description of Work: Enclosed Garage, installed exterior windows and doors, ran electrical and very minor plumbing, insulation and sheetrock.

First of all, this review is from a NON-client. We had no contract or obligations with this person. The person with whom we had the contract for at this address, and who paid for the remodel in full, seemed to be very happy with our work. While there were some changes made during the process, the client was made aware and was charged only an additional $180 for the extra framing of the door. This was a 1000 sq' basement remodel, not just a door/window replacement. The two week time frame seems plausible for this type of renovation. The client tried to be helpful by purchasing a door returned by someone else at the home store instead of ordering the custom sized recommended. This would have been acceptable if we had been made aware of the change prior to the framing. Since it was a true error on her part we waived the normal fees associated with losing a day to changes. The original signed contract was altered by the client many times and we honored her wishes at a loss to us. The exterior finish was to be vinyl, thus framed for that material, then she changed her mind and decided to have a brick front. Brick masonry work is more intense and more costly than vinyl. We did this for her at NO profit, only our cost to change. As stated prior, this was a COMPLETE basement remodel, including electrical, HVAC, plumbing for a living space to include a kitchen, bedroom, living room and storage area. It included all trims and new drywall. There were some modifications that had to be made such as the HVAC return was a modified file cabinet, not to code. We do not offer shoddy workmanship and therefore would not leave that as is. The client was informed of changes when she was available but our contract states, and was signed with the understanding that, some hidden conditions require changes and must be addressed for safety reasons and codes. We did contact the NON-Client in an attempt to understand why he is placing this review nearly a year after the fact and why we weren't contacted prior for a possible resolution. As professionals, we have no patience for giggling adults, (per our phone conversation, we couldn't talk because of the outrageous behavior), who have nothing better to do than attempt to damage the reputation of a small business in a small town trying to provide jobs for a few people who want to give homeowners a better home to live in. As for the punctuality, we arrived daily as expected, following shopping for materials for the job-site. The area being remodeled was to be cleared of the items being stored there but were not so we had to shop daily since we had no where to store materials. The client was very pleased upon our completion and never expressed anything except a gracious appreciation. I attribute this review to a miscommunication between family members. I will be providing a copy of the signed contract and scope of work to Angie's List for review, maybe then the NON-Client will see the err of his ways. Furthermore, we complete dozens of projects yearly and have a BBB rating of A+. While you can't be a member of Angie's List as a contractor, they should verify all derogatory reviews as they do the accolades.
