But I was told by a neighbor that the company has a new manager now, their large project had not gone as planned. That is why I would not hire them again, they performed the work at my house 20 years ago.
Every sub-contractor was very good about cleaning the work site daily, and they did an excellent job! Work progressed in a very timely fashion and we were very happy with the work. There were a couple of minor glitches (had to special order the chimney extension) but all-and-all, we are happy with the finished product! It is exactly as we envisioned it!
The only exceptions to the excellent job done by Bob McDonald Company, Inc. were 2 subcontractors. The electrician (City Electric -- what it said on the Master Electrician's truck) had an apprentice doing all the work with little to no supervision. They failed to run electricity to the last section of the room (which included the exterior outlets), and had to cut the completed drywall and jump to an outlet in another room (directly beside the first outlet in the string). We've had problems with breakers and GFI breakers tripping since. Additionally, even though the drywall contractor reworked the drywall that the electrician cut, you can still tell where he made the cut. The master electrician made those modifications. I found him to be argumentative and had told Curtis that I was unhappy with the electrician. Final straw was the Master Electrician failed to install a box extender in the homeowner installed cabinets...I had to remove the outlet myself to install the provided extender.
The second exception to the work was the Gutter subcontractor. Matco Services Contractor. Even though we had told them to "stay off the roof", they ignored us and damaged the new roof! They put too few down-spouts and we have water backing up on the roof when we actually get rain. They came back out and added a down-spout, and were very rude and once again, walked on the roof when I told them to "Stay Off the Roof!" The second time they returned, they just claimed that it was a roofing problem that was causing the water to back up from the gutters on the roof. The roofer had to repair multiple shingles from the damage caused by Matco!
I would use Bob McDonald Company, Inc. in the future, but I would not let them use the same electrician or the gutter subcontractors again! We were very happy with the work and the outcome!
This is our retirement home and therefore very important to us; we couldn't have chosen a better company to convert it
into what we had envisioned.
I'M UPDATING THIS REVIEW, AND SADLY, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. IN OUR CONTRACT, THIS COMPANY STATED THAT THE WORK DONE HAD A WARRANTY OF ONE YEAR. WE CALLED THEM RIGHT BEFORE THAT YEAR WAS UP BECUASE AN AREA OF THE HOUSE WHERE ELECTRIC WIRING HAD BEEN REDONE AND THE FUSE KEEPS BLOWING FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. WE HAD TO CALL SEVERAL TIMES, CURTIS CAME, SPOKE WITH US, AGREED TO FIX IT, AND THREE MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND WE NEVER HEARD FROM HIM. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
