Anderson Construction

I am very happy with the result. They did a thorough job. My shower and bathroom in general look very nice. Definitely recommend and will use in the future.

Job went well. No problems.

Good overall. Pricing and estimates are challenging to understand at it's hourly labor with materials separate. I believe what I paid equalled earlier fixed price quotes. Quality of work was very good. Restored antique garage doors and windows and fitted them nicely.

Anderson Construction did a good job overall. They got straight A's from me except for the cost category. Like I stated in my ratings, I was impressed with their professionalism and quality of work. The only problem is that I bought the $99.00 dollar discount in order to save myself the effort (as I had done in the past) of regrouting my bathroom. If I had realized that the cost would eventually rise to $935.00 (due to some mold) I would probably have done it myself. They are a good company overall and I recommend them.

***Update*** After initial frustrations of trying to get on the schedule for a big deal for a couple of reasons, Anderson Construction is now at my house performing the service. They arrived early and were very friendly. They xare using drop cloths and have given me excellent advice in the best way to repair/patch the bathrooms that they are working on. I plan to update this review once the service is complete.

Mike was awesome! He listened to my concerns and was able to work in most of the "dreams" in a way that stayed within the budget. I met with a cabinet designer and picked out cabinets and colors. Once all the details were in place I received digital drawing showing my new kitchen and the price list. I had already picked out appliances and printed pictures of what type of design style I preferred. Due to family events I wasn't able to have the work done but now know what I want and how much to budget for. Dos: I would give Anderson Construction my business.

I used the Angie's list deal to get 3 hours of work toward grout restoration for my tub. Do your pricing research first! The deal will not get you a complete job. I had to pay for additional hours of labor and supplies. That said, Mike and his partner made my dingy shower look bright and fresh for far less than replacing the tile. They also came during the holidays to make sure the project was done in time for my open house. I got nothing but great reviews about the look of the bathroom, and the place was under contract within a week! Definitely recommend.

Job finished in about six-seven hours, which seems fast considering all that was done. Bath now looks like new. Cleaned up when done and provided followup information on parts for future maintenance. Explained problem well. Telephone followup two days after. I'm a satisfied customer.

Mike and team did an excellent job cleaning the grout in my walk-in shower. They scraped the old grout and caulk, and re-grouted and re-caulked so that everything look brand new! I really appreciated his suggestions and will definitely give him a call for any future work! This company is professional, courteous, prompt, and reliable!

Michael Anderson came to the house to determine what equipment and crew was needed to remove the damaged portico. He called me in FL, explained that he needed a jackhammer to remove the posts, replace the front porch stone pieces, and take away the damaged materials. He is simply the best. He was responsive, professional. Also, we discussed repairs to the rotting wood on the front door, windows and refinishing the wood deck.

I called Michael from FL, desperate to have the sagging front porch portico removed. I had never used his services, or spoken to him before. We r so appreciative that Michael rearranged his schedule to help us out with a dangerous situation, a sagging front porch portico. The portico was built in 1960 and most likely weakened by previous snows, bad weather. We have been in FL for months caring for a terminally ill family member and Michael came to our rescue. Michael and his crew perform quality work. Because of his responsiveness, professionalism, and kindness, we hired him for remodeling projects. Michael is SIMPLY the BEST.

Very nice finish to an excellent remodeling of bathroom. No charge for grout sealing.

The work took a little longer cost quite a bit more than we anticipated after our first conversations with Mke Anderson. That said, the bathrooom looks pretty good now, and, after a few hiccups, everything works well. The hiccups included a leaky tub drain, a damaged shower door, and a leaky toilet drain. Mike Anderson came by and fixed the leaky tub drain as soon as we discoved the issue and sent him pictures. The shower door was purely asthetic (the saw skipped when trimming the overhead bar, causing it to scrape the surface). Replacing the scratched overhead bar took several months, but last week Mike was able to fix that as well. The toilet drain has been a different sort of problem. Mike Anderson noted that the toilet flange in our exisitng plumbing is"oversized" and did not match the toilet. He performed what he deemed a temporary makeshift fix, which worked for a few months but had to be redone last week after it started leaking. He informed us that actually installing the correct part, which he says was not available when the inital work was done last year, will cost at least another $300.

Mike and his crew arrived on time and they did a good job.

This required the floor to be leveled and extensive adjustments be made to the walls. With all the finessing that had to be done to make 12"x36" porcelain tiles work, I would have to say Mike Anderson is in the category of a craftsman.

It started out with having them replace a big tub with a shower. They did some very fancy tile work and glossed in the shower as well. After that project I had them come out again and replace my countertop with granite and two sinks. They also added some new faucets. He later came out and installed some grab bars for me.

I had my floor in my bathroom redone due to water damage from a leaky pipe throughout the years. Mike was referred from a family friend and my decision to go with Anderson Construction looking back was worth every penny. The prices that other companies were providing didn't exactly meet my budget. Mike was very understanding and military friendly therefore reducing the price to a more manageable amount. He was very friendly and thorough in his work explaining each step of the process in its entirety. With nearly 40 years of Construction experience Mike has mastered the trade and his work proves it. I would highly recommend Anderson Construction for anyone who expects quality work. Thank you

We did not have the work done because we ultimately decided that we might be moving too soon to take advantage of the deal. However, Mike Anderson took great personal interest in ensuring that we would be happy with the deal. Because of our travel plans, we had to postpone our meeting. He was most accommodating, working with us to schedule an appointment that would work for us. He then spent the better part of an afternoon with us, talking through all of the options, surveying the site meticulously, and estimating exactly what would be required for the job we were interested in. He was personable, professional, thorough,and obviously competent. His job knowledge reassured us that we had talked to the right man. Mike even went so far as to order some of the materials in advance to be ready for the job. Although we did not follow through with the work, we would definitely hire Mike Anderson for a future job if we should stay here in Arlington.

Here are the facts: Original purchase price = $5,999 (supposedly equal to $11,199 value for time and materials to renovate a standard 5? X 8? bathroom) Additional cost for time and materials: $11,283 $17,282 TOTAL COST (plus an additional amount owner purchased for miscellaneous items including medicine cabinet and lighting fixture) Total construction time consumed at least 14 days over a total of about a month during which time a family member had to remain on premises. I am not entirely sure about cost to remove and replace all drywall beyond that covered in the contract, but time to complete was more than 3 days beyond that covered by the original purchase. Since this was not included in the original contract, the additional days for drywall appeared to be billed at $120 an hour, the standard contract wage rate for time not covered by contract price which I was told was programmed for 5 days completion time. Additional time was required to remove and replace tile accent band which was installed incorrectly. Other days beyond expected contract time was consumed by tile installation, crown molding (not part of contract), and other material and equipment installation. Bottom Line: - Final product for tile and equipment installation, paint, etc. was of good quality with some minor imperfections. - Time and money management was difficult. - Final cost for project was 35% more than $11,199 purchased value some of which can be attributed to high quality fixtures and cabinet, but the final cost is somewhat beyond what a bathroom renovation of this size and quality would justify and would exceed the amount I would be willing to pay using a standard estimate process. - Although the $120 per hour labor costs are written into the contract and are legitimate, they exceed any costs for contract work of this type of quality and scope that I have dealt with in the past. - Caveat Emptor. A final comment concerning Angie?s List Specials is warranted. I have yet to pay for a List Special that did not end up with additional, sometimes significant, costs above and beyond that specified in the Special. The comparison between a Special price and putative value (i.e., savings) is highly suspect and difficult to quantify. Although most offerings are legitimate, they frequently appear to be structured with the idea that the offering is a low end and would require some upgraded material or additional necessary tasks to be a wholly satisfactory project.

Work was great. On time, scheduled for work done. Pleased. Will use again in future for home improvements.

Great work. Cleaned up. Price was reasonable. Work was perfect.

Working with Mike was a bit frustrating, as it took a while to get an estimate from him. I also was surprised that we were expected to purchase all of the materials needed for the project. That said, we actually cancelled the work because of my husband losing his job and have decided that we need to conserve funds due to our tenuous job situation.

They did an excellent job. I would use them again.

When we hired Anderson Construction it was based on the impression we got from its owner, MIke. He seemed knowledgeable, fair in price, and not too intimidated by the job, which several other contractors had been. Our project was basically rebuilding part of a room/covered porch that had been damaged due to wet rot and improper initial construction. All the while we did not want the new roof torn off or the room torn down to the ground. The first day things went alright I guess and we were extremely impressed by the work done by the laborers themselves. As the job progressed we began to not only loose patience with Mike, but get extremely mad. The things that came out of his mouth at the end of each day seemed to imply the work was going to take a lot longer and cost a lot more than we had initially discussed. However this was not what we ourselves saw ,nor what the laborers told us when we spoke with them at the end of each work day. Additionally getting Mike to commit things on paper, such as price, job duration etc. was difficult despite the fact we had agreed to all those things prior to the job start. Another constant annoyance was Mike's inability to keep track of his supply needs. He regularly asked me to fetch him supplies, which included construction trash bags and all the siding supplies. When he finally asked me, and keep in mind I am a 5'7" female, to go and get a 4'x8' piece of plywood from Home Depot for the job by myself I quite literally could not believe my ears. I do have to say that the workmen and women he hired for our job were excellent. They showed up on time, knew their stuff and did very high quality work. Plus they were drama free. If I had the option of hiring them without having to deal with Mike I would do it again. We ended our job in accordance with the time frame we had originally proposed, but prior to the job being finished because we had had it with the drama. We didn't care that it wasn't finished. We were pretty sure that if we let Mike finish the job it would have run into June and cost us a fortune.

They were very knowledgeable and helpful. The work was great and I got excellent value for the money that I spent.
