Lamon & McDaniel Builders

Great! Project and Project Manager exceeded all of my expectations. Attention to detail was one of the outstanding features of this contractor. Any changes to the original proposal were handled smoothly and without interruption to the completion of the room.
Any defective materials were replaced without question and replacement was expedited in order to complete the project on schedule.
I would recommend this contractor, without question, for renovations or new home construction.

It was reasonable, it was several thousand lesser than other companies, we got bids before we went with them. They were always on time, they did everything, and they met the deadline we had. We had only one minor problem and they took care of it within a matter of one day, other than that we have had no problems, and it was a big job. They did a really good job. We have another job that they would probably do in another six months; we just need to finalize all the plans.

Things went well for a number of months, and then things began to change. I don't know if they started using new people, but the quality of the work began to suffer. It started to become apparent that their workers were not being supervised. No one was checking their work. The work would go on when we were out of town. When they were done with something, they would tell us, but when we got there, the work was not done. It would only be about 80-90% complete. We'd have to tell them to finish the work.
Then, they got a plumber who began doing very unprofessional work:

• - Moving a drain line without instruction to do so
• - Installing a shower head and bath tub faucet without making sure the hot water came through
• - Installing a sink faucet that only had a trickle of water. (The old faucet worked just fine.)

The last thing they needed to do was install some new kitchen cabinets. The cabinets were delayed, but delivered. At that point, the contractor said that they had some other big job to do and could not do the cabinet installation. It wasn't that they had to delay the installation for awhile. They said they simply wouldn't do the job.
At this point, I told them that they had to at least complete the punch list of what they HAD already worked on. The project manager then failed to get those punch list items done. He would promise and promise to do the work, but it just wouldn't get done. I believe the project manager was trying to do some of those items with unqualified people, because those last items were done badly.
The project manager did not respond very well when we pointed out substandard work.
When they don't want to talk to you, they just simply wouldn't respond to my phone calls.

Randy and his crew were always professional and arrived on time each day. They completed the work in a timely manner.

Everything went great. Roofing and guttering crews were there from the morning until past dark. Never have seen a harder working crew. Kept worksite very clean. Communication excellent. Everything went exactly as planned and on estimate. Estimate a little higher than other firms but one gets what they pay for: quality.

On or about November 3,2010 we entered into a contract to build a Handicap acessable on to an existing house, we had an Architect to draw up a design
with full and expilicet notes of what we wanted, they were reviewed by the contractor
and we signed a contract with him after a long and methodical discussion as to completion date,method of payment, and overseeing of the project.
At the beginning things went well, but then began to slack off for unknown reasons
other than qualified man power or he was devoting all his time to his own home that he was refurbishing to move into. We would call to see why they were not showing up, and a promise would be made, but week to ten days would pass before one person would show up to do some little thing that often was not qualified to do.
As of June 24, 2011 there are things that have not been completed (as mentioned above) We meet with his 2nd hand man on the 20th, and gave him a list of unfinished work, and he promised that he would not let me down, we'll see.

Lamon McDaniel was a fine outfit and they were very versatile in all aspects of construction. If you need something done they would do it. They were always very professional, courteous, and very respectable. I would highly recommend their services.

The stairs have been loose and the stair case a little shaky for several years. I repaired the majority of the problems here, but I wanted this done professionally. McDaniel's and Orr did a fantastic job, and did it without making a royal mess of our home. The area was partitioned off with plastic, to keep the sawdust concentrated in that area. The crew was well behaved, and the job was finished in less than two full days. If there is any other task that is beyond my skills, this is the company I plan on calling.
