We reached out to Steve and he was able to fit us into his schedule within a reasonable time. When he arrived he had all the proper tools to paint including ladders, extensions for rollers, the trim wedge for corners and precise lines (we provided the paint and some brushes). He even created his own contraption that protected the walls from any sort of damage while using the ladder at the tall heights as an a-frame ladder was still too short. It was a pleasure having Steve work on our home. He was clean, efficient, professional, and a very nice guy. I will be reaching out to him on any future project we will need help on. Attached are before and after pictures.

If you have a serious waterproofing or foundation problem requiring professional work, Windler…read morewould be a good choice. Having lived in this house with a walkout basement for about 20 years, we had not anticipated the basement water leakage problem that occurred a few months ago after an exceptionally heavy thunderstorm. The affected area of the wall was about 10 feet wide. We called two companies for advice and estimates. One was Windler in Lawrence. The other was a company in KC. Windler sent its general manager, Patrik Trautloff. Patrick explained what would have to be done to fix the source of the problem. The work would require excavation to the footing in the area of the leak, installation of external waterproofing on that area of the foundation wall, and replacing the external drain tile in that area of the footing. The other firm's bid was somewhat less expensive and could be scheduled more rapidly. Basically it would deal with the effects of the problem inside the basement instead of the cause outside. Since we have a finished walkout basement, we wanted the cause fixed. We contracted with Windler. The firm arrived as scheduled with an impressively professional crew. They completed the work in two days while using a mini-excavator machine for the excavation. If you want cheap cosmetic repair of the interior of your basement, you might want to use a different firm. But if you want real professionals to fix the cause, Windler would be a good choice.

I'm posting this review 1 year after my mother's disappointing bathroom remodel experience with…read moreInside Out Remodeling because this contracted job is still costing her money for electrical repair work. She is willing to pay the extra money to get the job done correctly and has peace of mind that her house won't burn down from dangerous electrical wiring. The electrical work in the bathroom (lights, ceiling fan and GFI switch) was faulty and confirmed by another well-established local electrical company to be "the most convoluted way to wire", "way too many wires crammed into the box" and "he got confused and got it [the wiring] all turned around". These were direct quotes from the other electrician. The electrical work wasn't the only disappointment in their work. A job that I was told would take 2 weeks ended up taking almost 2 months and many nights at a local hotel because we didn't have a bathtub or shower for bathing. Mother informed Caleb, the owner, before the job began that we only had one full bath and one half bath and we would need the shower/bath to be usable as soon as possible. We communicated our concerns about some of their work at the beginning of this job only to be ignored and reprimanded by Ryan for being too particular. We felt our opinions were undervalued and brushed off. All we wanted was a decent job for the overinflated bid. The communication was fairly nonexistent after that. The electrical work wasn't the only disappointment. The paint was inferior and thin and didn't cover the drywall very well. My 91-year-old mother had to add a second coat to the walls, and she improved the appearance considerably. I was grateful she didn't fall and hurt herself and ashamed for them that she had to finish the paint job. Because of the lack of communication, the medicine cabinet was not installed to open the way my mother wanted it to be, causing a conflict with the bathroom door when it was open. Other issues included misalignment of the shower handle and faucet with the tub overflow drain (fixed but costing more time and money), cracking the tile while installing the grab bar and never mentioned the cracked tile (fixed but costing more time and money). We found the crack after inspecting the work when he left for the night. Scraped and scratched the grab bar itself (not fixed) as well as the sconce light fixtures (purchased new ones and had to reinstall). They installed a used and bent tub. We have no idea where they located it. It could have been stockpiled from their warehouse since the first one they brought out was totally unacceptable. (not fixed, took $35 off the bill). Inside Out told us it was our responsibility to purchase the sink and toilet and I wish we had purchased the tub also as we would have had the satisfaction of knowing it was new. They did not address the heater register cover until the job was almost completed, telling us that it was our responsibility to buy and install the cover. We were surprised and shocked to learn that the cover was not included with the remodel . After frantically searching Google, I found a cover for the register, ordered and purchased it. It miraculously arrived a few days later, minimizing further delay, only to find Inside Out was unfamiliar with this type of heat register and installed the end caps upside down (fixed but costing more time and money). One year later, I can say that we would NOT recommend Inside Out to anyone that might be unfamiliar with construction. Or frankly, anyone at all. We felt they took advantage of an elderly woman unfamiliar with remodeling work. Ryan lost his trust with us completely when we found he had tossed his drywall mud outside behind the propane tank so as not to be found. Had he asked, we could have shown him where to dispose of it. Again, no communication. The delays in completing this job were frustrating. One day Ryan worked a full day but most other days he worked between 1-5 hours and sometimes didn't show up at all. He wasted so much time on our project by working minimal hours and performing poor quality work that I informed Caleb we didn't want his to return to the house to complete the small details left to do. The time he did spend at her house, he was constantly on his phone running other projects, which took his focus off mother's job. And it showed. I feel Inside Out's remodel job for my mother was poorly devised and in my opinion destroyed the credibility and capability of their work. We were also charged for the roll off dumpster that sat in his company's parking lot to be used for all his other jobs. I would never recommend Inside Out Remodelingto anyone and if someone looking for a contractor mistakenly feels that an overinflated bid can buy good quality work and good integrity, you'll be very disappointed with Inside Out Remodeling.

I highly recommend Inside/Out Remodeling. We hired them…read morethis summer to tear down and rebuild our deck. This was a difficult project due to the size of our old deck, the rotten lumber that needed to be removed, and the limited space in our yard due to landscaping and setbacks. We had to change some plans to be within code, but the guys made these changes with ease I was impressed with both Bryon and Elijah, arriving early, getting right to work, and working through the heat! Some days, the temperature reached 100. Not a pleasant work environment, but they never complained and were always friendly and upbeat. Dustin was also a very hard worker, along with the 4th guy who joined the crew toward the end of the project. We're so thankful we found this company and hired them to do the work. No regrets. Caleb, one of the owners we worked with, was also fantastic. He was easy to get hold of, stopped by to check on things, and talked to us when any issues arouse. The bid we received from him was very detailed, and the materials used were high quality. I was also pleasantly surprised that when I asked for something extra to be added to the project, it was not a problem at all. They said "sure" with a smile and just did it. These guys went beyond what I expected. A great team! I would hire them again for other projects.

We hired J & W Construction to put on Gutter Screens. Two young men arrived in the morning and…read moreworked until noon. Then, they left without saying anything. They left tools and pieces of gutter screen on the roof, so I assumed they were taking a lunch break; they never returned. Since parts of our roof are quite high, there was no way to verify if the work had been completed. After a couple of days, we called the company to ask if they were done with the installation. They said they would send someone out to check. Months went by. Nothing. Then we got a bill in the mail. We called again and asked if they had completed the work and if so, if they could please come by and remove the things they left behind. They said they would send someone by who would verify that the work had been complete and would remove the tools and pieces of screens. Nothing. Two months went by, the tools disappeared, but the pieces of gutter screen that were scattered all over our roof were never removed. I received a bill with a $200 late fee for non-payment and a note that said if it was not paid in full in two weeks, they would place a lien on the property. When asked if the work had been complete, they said, I'm not sure, I'll send someone by to check. When I complained about the $200 late fee, they said they would waive it if we paid the the original bill in full. So, I paid my bill to avoid a court case. At the very least the lower gutters have the screen on them, but I still don't know if the work on the upper gutters was ever completed.
