"Do not trust Keith elliot and fresh start renovations. Keith started working for us on January 28, 2025. We met him at a coffee shop and told him exactly what the job position entailed. He seemed like a great fit. He said him and his brother owned like 5000 units. Now I question that. He’s very personable. Do not be fooled by him. He is also seems very educated on maintenance and construction projects. I asked him if he knew how to run ductwork for an existing air handler at a house we were selling? He said oh yes, I know how to do it. Keith and Rick his co-worker spent a few days re-running all the duct work. It looked like it was done right. He charged us. $3126.40 for labor & $1098.04 for material. We called a professional license company to hook up the air handler. He came over to give me an estimate on the air handler and said will be more than happy to do this. However, your duct work is completely done wrong. I was in shock I said what do you mean it’s done wrong? He said all the runs are too small. It will not do anything. It’ll never be able to keep up and explained what had to be done. unfortunately, it had to all be redone. I had told this to Keith that it’s all going to have to be redone and that he’s going to have to repay us back for the labor. He agreed that he would pay it back. In hindsight, we should’ve saw the signs. He had excuses when he wouldn’t respond to us for days on end. We have tenants that needed maintenance done that he was ignoring. He also did other maintenance or projects wrong that ended up costing us a lot of money and materials and labor that he charged us for even though it wasn’t done correctly. Our gas fireplace was not working. He put the parts of $550 in it worked for a minute. Then stop working. I asked him if it’s not gonna work then we need to take these parts back. That was a whole another fiasco. They take one part out and take it back to Racine all dirty and the company didn’t want to take it back. I asked him to clean it up and why would he try to return it like that? Then there’s another part once again had to go back to the house take it off and return it. We were charged all this time in labor? We asked him to wrap some pipes in the basement. They wrapped it with some silver aluminum material. It looked really stupid and that was more cost that we couldn’t return the material because it was already used. We send them over to one of our other properties had a water leak going to the downstairs. He said it was a shower. I was getting ready to redo the whole shower. Thank God he didn’t show back up because it wasn’t the shower. It was the roof vent. Early on when he was working for us, we asked him to pick up a Well from Lisbon and install it at one of our properties outside. It’s a front window for the basement. They don’t install it. They just said it next to it for somebody to steal. I’m sure there’s a lot of other issues that we dealt with, but this is just some of them and he only worked for us for a couple months. We have repeatedly tried to resolve this without taking us to the authorities to fall on deaf ears. He would say yes I’m coming over. We would set a time and not show up and now he’s just ignoring our text messages. He has been warned. Unfortunately, now we have to report him and his business to the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s list where we found him and end up having to sue him in court if he doesn’t settle up with us. Like I said, he’s a very nice guy and very personable, but not trustworthy. He not only kept the 60 receipts of ours. He kept our Home Depot card and our master key and I’m gonna call the state of Wisconsin to see if I can file a report for theft of Contractor. Very sad that you can’t trust anybody these days because he seems so trustworthy."

"Went very well. They were prompt and efficient. They made sure all my curtain rods were installed sturdy and measured correctly. They cleaned up the jobsite when done, which was appreciated. Cost was very reasonable and fair. I look forward to using them again."

"The very best thing about Big Dave's is that he shows up when he says he will, he does the job we agreed on, and he cleans up after himself. Very different from any other GC I've dealt with in nearly forty years. Superior work at all times; fixes issues when required without question or demur. I'll have no other GC darken my doors ever again."

"Excellent quality. Highly responsive and accommodating to our requests. The final cost matched the original quote."

"Ken was prompt and also fixed siding while onsite for gutter cleaning."

"Mike the owner is a very personable guy with an excellent attitude and dedication to doing the job right ! He put vinyl siding on my garage and part of my house and looks great! He also put in a new entry door into my neighbors garage and she is very satisfied with the job! He was the very first person to contact me and I could tell when I met him that he was an HONEST CONTRACTOR! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"We decided to redo the flooring by the pool. This is what happened. We really like it"
