This is definitely an unsolicited review!!!
B.A. Worthing, Inc. recently completed construction of an expansion of the kitchen dining nook at my home. The total price was just under $10000. From start to finish I could not have been more pleased. Not only was the project finished in a timely manner - 2 weeks total from permit issued to final city signoff - it was completed in a professional way in every respect.
The scope of the job required the following activity: draw up complete set of plans, cut out part of a cement patio, install rebar for new foundation, pour cement slab, reroute rain gutter down spout, demolish 3 outside walls, frame in the new walls, install 3 new windows, put matching stucco on the outside walls, install drywall on inside walls and ceiling, paint drywall to my color request, move electrical outlets and ceiling fixture, and lay new hardwood flooring to match existing hardwood floors. Also included were requests for and handling of the city inspections.
To me, the key factors of success were: Accurate estimate and disclosure of the costs of the project; The project area was cleaned up after each day's activity; The Project Manager always kept me informed of the next activity to take place; The workers always showed up when I was told they would; The high quality of workmanship and professionalism of the entire crew; and the care everyone took to keep my home as construction-proof as was possible. There were simply 'no surprises' - I liked that!!!
All the guys were good, but I would specifically like to give kudos and special thanks to Chris Meier, the Project Manager. He was simply great. He always kept me informed of progress, he was responsive to my special requests, he got the crew there when he said he would, and he handled the little details as well as the large details expertly and professionally. Wonderful job Chris - thanks.
As to payments. Checks were written as the project progressed. The first check was required only after the first 20% of work was complete (foundation poured). Other payments were made as the work hit certain completion points. Payments were always after the work had been done to my satisfaction. Payments included all parts, materials and labor, insurance, workmen's compensation, and of course their profit. There were no 'hidden' charges.
I would absolutely and without reservation recommend this company to friends, family and everyone who needs a contractor.
