One week later, caulk is cracking.  Perhaps a better cut would have required less caulk and would have not cracked.

They were contracted by my mother to do a bathroom remodel. Many details were left out of the contract. It only has a few lines that they can actually put in work details, so it will be vague. The rest of the front/back contract is full of legalities to protect them...including that you have to notify them in writing within 3 days to cancel, and that any cancellation after that you will be required to pay 50% of the cost. My mom was pushed into signing the contract on a day when she was alone with the salesman (Matt). This was in about March of 2022, and $10,000 was paid up front. Here we are in May of 2023 and this $27000 bath remodel isn''t done yet, although they claimed it was. Within 24hrs of claiming it was done, Matt was threatening a lien on the house if the remaining amount wasn't paid in full. There were many verbal promises made, and when it comes to the end, they want to fall back on the contract and remind us that they don't have to do anything that wasn't in writing. Folks, get it ALL in writing. Add some lines to protect yourself, such as a firm deadline, discounts for delays, standup days, etc. I'd suggest something like $200 each day that they are beyond the contractual completion date, and $200 for each day that they say they are coming and don't work a full day. If they aren't willing to do this, then consider that they aren't confident in their ability to do the job in the time stated, and to show up as they say they will. During this process, my mother was stood up over 40 times. My mother tried to call the owner several times and couldn't get any response until the time they claimed completion and she said she was waiting to talk to the owner before making any payment. The shower did look nice, but there were issues. It was supposed to have a seat that would be 18" deep. They built it 15", even after her telling the guy several times that she wanted 18", even on the day he built it. The material used was like a faux tile look, and appears to be quality material. However, they turned it sideways on the short wall, so it didn't match the rest of the shower. When she said something, they told her that they didn't buy enough material to do it the other way and that it would be weeks to get more if they ordered it. We also have found that the wall is more than a foot shorter than it should have been. These idiots didn't even order enough material to do the job as the contract states. One door was changed from left to right. They completely butchered the new hinge recesses and didn't even attempt to fill the old ones. It looked like a blind beaver chewed it. I hope yelp lets me post pictures. She also wanted to go from carpet to a laminate. Everybody knows that laminate is thinner than carpet+pad. For this reason, baseboards need to be lowered or the subfloor raised. Otherwise, it leaves big gaps below the baseboard. They simply pulled the quarter round and put new material lower. This left the line on the baseboard where the old quarter round had been caulked. At the doors, they were going to leave gaps of over 3/4" to the floor. The proper thing to do is remove the door frame, lower it to the floor, and repair/patch a little at the top of the door trim. Instead, they decided to cut small pieces of trim and put them into the space. I'm hoping this lets me add pictures so you can see this. They now claim they can put filler on this and make it look right. I know better. It's much more time effective to do this the right way with the right materials than spend much more time patching and getting poor quality workmanship. My advice is to go elsewhere. They spend a lot of money on advertising and talk a good game up front...but once they got my mom's money, they were in no rush at all. Over 1yr later and they were still in no rush to do a bath remodel, but a day after they claim completion, they are in a such a rush to get paid the balance that they begin making threats. It's a good thing for them that my mother hasn't followed all my advice, or she'd have already told them to go kick rocks without any more money at all.

Read that fine print on the backside.

Big Bear Construction and Restorations - The kitchen Lance worked with, a 1990s remodel of a tiny, WWII-era kitchen

Lance and his crew just finished a kitchen addition and remodel project for us, and I cannot say…read moreenough about his integrity, commitment to quality, communication, fair pricing, and flexibility. First of all, Lance stepped in when our original contractor had a medical emergency and could no longer complete the project. Lance was doing the footer work on our project and agreed to pick up where our contractor left off (with the same budget and timeline), and without much time to get to know each other and talk through our plans, I think we all crossed our fingers and hoped it would work out. It did. Beautifully. Lance navigated with ease and grace numerous city permits and inspections and so many supplier issues and architect flubs, including an incorrect measurement that ultimately required us to add a partial bathroom renovation to his contract. He personally checked on every aspect of our project, correcting work when it didn't meet his high standards and making sure his workers and subcontractors met deadlines and his expectations for workmanship. Every time I brought him an idea along the way, Lance was up for it and helped me figure out how we could make it work (much to my husband's chagrin at times!). When we called, Lance always answered, and he stayed in communication with us when we weren't on site, sending texts and pictures of progress daily throughout the almost 5 months of our project. After a few months, I trusted Lance to make decisions in my stead, and that says a lot, considering my Type A personality and specific design sense. He respects old houses and understood my aesthetic vision as well as my desire to preserve original elements of my 1940 cottage wherever possible. The end result speaks for itself. We consider Lance a friend now, but I think my hound dog Sadie misses her friend Lance and his crew most of all. Luckily for her, we have already called him about our next project.

Contacted Big Bear Construction via Yelp Projects December last year. I got a response within a few…read morehours. I spoke with Lance and he scheduled a site visit to inspect my parents house in Knoxville. After site visit, I received a cost estimate for repairing water damage to main bathroom floor and replacing old toilet. We discussed further details and proceeded with ordering the flooring, toilet, and bedit seat. During demolition, his crew noticed subfloor was also damaged (see pics). I was notified right away, they had to purchase subfloor and a change order was submitted. Work was completed within 2 days and my parents were very happy with the finished work. All billing was done electronically, and receipts were autogenerated. We have a few more mini projects in the house and will contact Lance again. 5 starts for Big Bear Construction! I highly recommend for all your restoration needs.

I'm an out-of-towner who purchased an investment property in Port Angeles about a year ago. In my…read moresituation, I had to rely 100% on a general contractor to take on a major rehab project without any supervision or spot-checks. Within a month and after two long trips from California, I almost gave up on the property because I called at least two-dozen companies, got stood up at least five times for meetings and could only get three to meet me in person; none of whom I felt had my best interests in mind. Just before I was about to put the property up for sale, I found Jason. Fast-forward to the here-and-now, Jason was everything I could have hoped for in a general contractor - and more. His communication was crisp and clear, with great follow-up and a proactive effort - which is KEY if you want to save money and get exactly what you want. His craftsmanship was outstanding, and he finished the project ahead of schedule. As an added bonus, Jason is so easy to communicate with and makes you feel like someone important. He has turned what I thought was going to be a money-losing experience into a great-performing investment property that I am so proud to be the owner of.

Absolutely phenomenal job on our total bathroom remodel in Port Angeles! Work was done well ahead…read moreof schedule and under budget. Jason worked totally independently and was able to bring the vision we had for our small bathroom to fruition. Quality touches that I didn't expect were sprinkled throughout and the end result is 100% topnotch. Plus his post-job clean-up was above and beyond. I'd highly recommend him for any kind of remodel.
