MOUNTAINS WEST CONSTRUCTION

Mountains West Construction spent about 6 days total at my house. The final result was beautiful and of excellent quality. I paid $7400 to Mountains West Construction -- about $800 of which was additional work not planned for in the original contract. I spent $3900 for materials that were not part of the contract, including 21 gallons of very expensive stain (Penofin Red Label, $42 per gallon). The project went as follows: Per our contract, I purchased and stained all wood for the fence and trellis prior to installation. I purchased dirt and had it delivered. Randy, owner of Mountains West Construction, and one assistant removed the old fence, added new dirt and used a compacting machine to level the area prior to installing the new fence -- I also helped move dirt to the area. Randy and his assistant then set the fence posts in concrete. Randy performed all of the remaining work without an assistant. Per my request, after the concrete dried, Randy added more concrete to form a dome at the base of each post in order to prevent water from collecting on the surface. After it dried, he sawed off excess concrete material. I dug a small trench along the fence line for a gravel bed. Randy brought a large table saw and a pressure nail gun. Randy then built the fence. All fasteners were stainless steel, per my request. Randy then built the trellis topper. This included cutting the preassembled trellis panels in half and building custom framing and trim. There was a lot of material left over, so Randy suggested adding some trim pieces to the posts. I agreed, so he did it. I submitted a design for the arbor, he reviewed it and we made a couple of changes. Randy ordered the wood for the arbor and then set it out to dry in his workshop. Randy cut all of the arbor pieces to very exacting detail per the design, and then he delivered them to me for staining. After I completed the staining, Randy built the arbor. I dumped gravel into the trench under the fence.

We used them a couple of times. He did a great job and did what he was supposed to do. He cleaned up and did a fine job. He doesn't do shoddy work. I was very satisfied. I trust them to do a good job. He is also reasonably priced.

the process from initial contact to finish was very smooth

In short, while I received a reasonably detailed bid, it ended up being $10K over the competition for essentially the same deck. The justification for the increase was "better quality decking" but when I inspected that brand versus the brand we eventually used with another contractor, I couldn't see the difference. Perhaps this company's more competitive with other jobs, but the bid being $10K higher than the competition seemed to indicate a disinterest in taking the job.

It looks perfect because of his attention to detail; everything just looks amazing. I was nervous at first because I’ve never used a contractor but he gave us a bid that was comparable to the other quotes we got. The price ended up being exactly what he quoted us. He did all of the work himself and he didn’t use anyone else. We will use him again and we have him giving us some estimate for some other stuff around the house.

I didn't like or dislike the quote, it was just a middle of the road quote. I found a lower bid from a company that was closer to me and I thought it would be easier to track them down if I needed to. They did show up on time and give me a quote on the spot. If he was outstanding in any of the categories I would have given him an A, but I don't remember him being outstanding. I would get another bid from them if I had a need in the future.

The project went great. Because of my schedule, Randy respects my request to come no earlier than 10:00 am. He always tells us if something just ain't right, and the quality of work is very professional. We highly recommend Randy at Mountains West Construction, and have more projects for him in the future.

Excellent workmanship! He also charged a reasonable rate, as his bid was significantly lower than the next closest competitor. I would not hesitate to utilize his services again in the future!

Great. I found him on Angie's List and we could not be more pleased! His subs were great too. We will call him again.

The job was very complicated due to an elaborate duct system, and low ceilings in the main basement area. Randy applied a lot of creativity and care with his design. He was very precise and careful, considering the existing design of the house and suggesting panel doors to hold the theme of the upstaris. He was also aware of using the correct hardware, and quality doors and trim. He saved us money by modifying seven doors to fit our particular space. This was very precise work and he did a wonderful job. His carpentry is excellent and the finished product is very impressive. He installed our new microwave and stove, needing to modify our original kitchen cabinet and remove and replace a piece of trim which was very hard to find. He was able to build the trim himself. He took great care with detail and took great pride in his work. We are very happy with the quality of his work and would highly recommend him for any job. He is very professional and kept us informed of the job status throughout the process.

When Randy removed the old deck he found dry rot in the rim joists. He gave us some options how to address the problem. Unfortunately for Randy, the fix required him to work in the crawlspace. The deck looks great and feels very sturdy. He cleaned up all the debris and left the area neat and clean. We are very happy with the quality of Randy's work and will hire him again.

He did a very good job. It was a time-consuming project, but he did great. When ithe repair did not hold the first time, he came back out to make the repair again free of charge. His prices were fair, and I would highly recommend him.

Quick to bid, final price as estimated, friendly, courteous, on time.

Randy is very courteous and professional. He takes great pride in his work and it shows on the extra detail he put into installing the trim. The house and kitchen now look amazing thanks to Randy s craftsmanship and ability to come up with solutions to each of the minor issues that came up along the way. Randy was in our home for several days, he was very cognizant of my wife and small children, we had no issues with him working in our home. We highly recommend Randy, we will recommend him to family and friends.

Randy communicated at each turn of the deck re-furbish, did all work in a timely manner. Told me how to re-finish part of the old railing that needed to stay because it was a support beam. The entire project took about 2 weeks to complete and we are very happy with the job.

Randy responded very quickly and professionally to my request for a quote. He started work less than a week after the bid and finished in record time. I was very pleased as we are able to enjoy the deck for the rest of the summer. I would hire Mountains West again in the future.

Everything went smoothly. He had provided gates and fences for me on a prior job, so I knew he'd be efficient about his work.

Randy was amazing! He showed up on time when he said he would show up, he worked quickly and without interruption. He was helpful, completely trustworthy, a perfectionist regarding his craft (but not to the point of making a project more expensive), professional, and courteous. I have 2 small children and had no qualms about having Randy in my home (he was referred by a friend who assured me, before I hired him, of his trustworthiness and professionalism). He even called to see how my hardwood floor installation turned out. That kind of commitment is rarely seen in the construction world (I have been in charge of many home improvement projects for over 9 years, so I have vast experience with subcontractors). I would highly recommend Randy Parker and his company without hesitation. Your job will be done to your specification, in the time he estimates and to your satisfaction.

I searched Angie's List for companies located in my area; Randy Parker had good reviews and was within 10 miles. I e-mailed, he called and made appointment to come and look at the work to be done. He was responsive and prompt, made a tentative estimate at the site. Within a day he had e-mailed me his estimate and made arrangements to begin work. He also removed a tree that was encroaching on the fence area and hauled the debris away. The gates and fence are very sturdy and attractive.

Randy was responsible for transforming our 70's era bathroom (gold speckled counter tops and floors, pink toilet and tub), into a bathroom that look more modern and updated. We challenged him to complete it while my wife and I were on our honeymoon. Our home only had one shower, so we hoped to not be without it for long. Needless to say, Randy completed most of the remodel by the time we came back. We were only without a fully functioning bathroom for one day. The project was done quickly, but the quality of work did not drop off. Mr. Parker made sure that everything we requested was completed and done to our level of satisfaction. We entrusted Mr. Parker with overseeing his sub-contractors and taking care of the job site while we were out of town. Upon our return we had a new great looking and functioning bathroom.

Another great experience working with Randy. During the course of this remodel he was was very involved in the design and development of my fireplace mantle. Details were reviewed and decided together and I am very happy with the outcome!

First of all, Randy is one of the most dependable contractors I've ever worked with. He is an excellent communicator and if there are any unforeseen issues, he is the first to let you know. I always knew when to expect him at my home and he showed up when he said he was going to. How refreshing. I had a few custom details that we reviewed before the installation began, and he executed with professionalism. I would highly recommend Randy for your next project!

I originally sat down with the owner Randy Parker and planned the scope of work to be done. Much of the work that was agreed upon had to be altered throughout the project due to unforeseen construction issues. Randy Parker consistently communicated with me during every phase of construction, if the original plan could not be executed he would tell me first and give me other options. Sometimes certain details were added that made the construction/remodel even better than expected. Because of my great experience, I will continue to use Mountains West Construction and highly recommend this company for all construction/remodeling needs.

I was referred to Mountains West Construction by a friend who recently had a fence and gate built by Mr. Parker, so I gave him a call to get an estimate. From the start he was professional, and courteous. I gave him a quick update on what we wanted to have built and asked if he would be interested in providing an estimate. He set up a time to meet and showed up as promised on time! The estimate he provided was comparable to the 4 other contractors that priced out our project. What won us over was Randy's ability to listen to what we wanted done. Though it was a small project, he took the time to provide us with options and ideas while keeping our budget in mind. The fence was done in less then two days. We were amazed at how fast the fence went up and how great it looked. Our neighbors were also impressed, some asked for Randy's info for future projects on their own homes.

I am so pleased with my fence. I found Randy to be very reliable and dependable -- it was raining on the first day of the job yet he showed up anyway as scheduled. He worked very quickly to get all the panels up so my dog didn't have to be couped up in the house for too long. Randy is very customer service-oriented and he did exactly what I wanted and more. He customized the sections with the privacy panels so it looks as if they were made that way and he custom-built a beautiful new gate that turned out beyond my expectations. He also applied preservative on all the cedar. He has superb attention to detail and obviously takes great pride in his work. After the bad experience I had with the roofer and in difficulty finding reliable help on other projects around my house, Randy is like a breath of fresh air.
