Great!

They began with the electrical on April 30 and May 1. They painted on May 2, 3,4.

He's our next door neighbor and he's a general contractor. We've used him many times. We don't know how much we spent on his services. We're not sure of the price. It would have probably been about $50. He's next door and so he was responsive. We use him for everything. We will use his services again in the future.

The owner came out a few times to discuss the project (he claims 5, but I honestly don't think it was that many times...besides, he was doing work at a friend's house only a few blocks away). He seemed expensive, but knowledgeable and experienced. I kept telling him I only had a budget of $15K, and so we had to go through a few iterations of removing services from his proposed contract to get the price down to that. After the last visit, he said he would rework the contract and get back to me. A week went by and he never called me. So I called and left messages for him on Thursday, Saturday, and Monday asking him to call me back. He never did. Finally I called his secretary asking him to call me. Later that day he sent me a semi-nasty email with a revised estimate saying that he had already been to my house 5 times and that if I didn't sign a contract with him the next time he came out, he would charge me $120 for each subsequent visit. He said that by working up a revised estimate and stopping by 5 times, he had invested $1200 of his time!! The next day, his secretary called asking what I thought of his revised contract. I told her to take the painting off the estimate, so I could get the price down to $15K (like I had told him several times). I told her I couldn't work with a person that doesn't return my calls. She assured me that either he or she would call me back. Neither did. I have since written off Cutting Edge Construction. I believe I have a found a much more professional, less expensive contractor with outstanding reviews on Angie's List.
