Long Version Background: I am not the original owner of this property; therefore, I had to make some guesses about work that was done when our place was built. I have a 30x30 out-building that is a concrete pad, 4 walls, and a roof. There is no heat/AC, but there is already electric service. Incoming water and outgoing sewer lines were laid in the concrete floor when the out-building was constructed. The project was to create a space within the building where I can have a small space for a modeler's workbench and a larger space where I can build a model railroad. Also, the project would install a commode and a slop sink. The Planning: Osborn Services was recommended by another (local) contractor who was already overbooked. Mr Osborn came to my home, and we discussed the work I wanted done. I gave him a 2 page list of what I wanted to do. I called the list my Givens and Druthers. The list was grouped for the Shed, Train Room, and Bathroom. The next day, I received an e-mail with a list of work and estimates for the work; the e-mail asked for my agreement/approval of the work. I responded with a 'go ahead', and Mr Osborn sent me a formal estimate and contract, which included beginning and ending dates for the project. The Work: Mr Osborn was on-site with his crew as scheduled. They worked well together and obviously knew their jobs. The crew was focused on their tasks and there was no goofing off. They kept their work space neat and organized. They cleaned up after themselves on a daily basis and always left my property straight and neat. Mr Osborn was on-site almost every day, and frequently all day. His management style is to work only 1 active project at a time. So the only times he was not on my site were when he needed to run an errand for my project or meet a potential customer about future work. I estimate that he was working for me 80% of the time; his crew's effort was 100% on my project. The Problem: The incoming water line to the out-building presented unforeseen problems. The lines were not capped in the out-building; therefore, we knew they were not connected to the water lines in our house. I assumed that there was an unconnected line in the crawlspace under our house; and I planned to finish that connection. Although Mr Osborn found unconnected lines in the crawlspace, he couldn't find one that went to the out-building. In hindsight, we have decided that the original water line had been crushed and rendered unusable. The Solution: The only choice we had was to dig a new trench and lay a new water line from the house to the out-building -- about 100 feet. That added $4,000 to the price of the project and a couple of days to the schedule. Sub-Contractors: Mr Osborn used only 2 sub-contractors, and both earned A+ ratings. He used them for specific, focused tasks that required special expertise. One sub was used to install a heat pump (called a mini-split) to provide HVAC to the train room, because I didn't want the entire out-building heated/cooled. He also used a sub to lay the water line from the house to the out-building. Part of his reasoning was that there were special risks since the trench would expose the primary electric/telephone cables into the house and professional excavators could handle those risks more easily. Bottom Line: I have no reservations about hiring Osborn Services and/or his two sub-contractors again. P.S. When I previewed this review, it was categorized as Flooring. Although Mr Osborn installed some flooring as part of the project, I would categorize the project as General Construction.

Within a week of signing the contract for work the project manager/foreman and crew showed up promptly as stated at 8 AM for delivery of materials, answering any questions and to begin work. Every available day the crew was there and working by 8 and worked long into the evening. Frye also was able to keep my existing tin roof in place to keep the materials out of the landfill. Having 4 small children running in the yard I was concerning about the roofing materials in the yard, but the crew was exceptionally diligent in cleaning up any materials throughout the day. Frye knocked out the work in just a few days and also was able to accommodate extra requests within the same time frame. Anyone looking for roofing work should immediately consider Frye for their work both residential and commercial. Frye was able to exceed my expectations in both price and quality of work and I appreciate a business like Frye in the area.
