I don't usually leave negative reviews, but after my experience with Shields Fireside Hearth &…read moreHome, I feel like I need to share it to help others avoid the frustration I went through. I hired this company to install a fireplace, and from start to finish, it was a frustrating experience. Once I paid the down payment, the company's attitude completely shifted. Cindy, the lady that runs the office, was rude, dismissive, and frankly, condescending. Darin, the owner, "forgot" several commitments that were made during the quoting process, leaving us with an incomplete installation. I ended up having to either finish the work myself or hire other professionals to get the job done right -- including moving electrical, rebuilding the hearth base, and even hiring a roofer to fix the improperly installed chimney collar. This entire process left me feeling misled, overcharged, and really disappointed in the quality of both the service and the professionalism. If you decide to work with this company, make sure you get every single detail in writing and double-check everything. I would not hire them again. Would not recommend.

Morris Carpentry did an excellent bathroom and closet remodel for me. They listened to my ideas and…read moreconcerns, and made recommendations.

Communication was overall poor. Started 4 months late…read more Found out they disclose giving to charities only after making your downpayment (who pays for that, I wondered?). Carpenter was rude in my own home! Messes were left. Workers walked out unexpectedly, without warning or calling management. Seemed like they did not like working on older homes. Insulation was removed and never replaced, saying "we're not insulators". Prices were not disclosed, saying it would increase cost to do so. Was sold special-order storm doors without my knowledge, so I couldn't get a refund! Months after final payment I discovered outlets wired to the wrong circuit breaker box and had to call them back for re-work. On the good side, they rightly stood up to building inspector to widen doorway. Overall, most work was well done, even if it was deeply frustrating with little accounting given for expenses. FYI: Don't let them talk their way out of providing references of work on comparable properties first..

We recently had a bathroom added as well as a reno to an existing bathroom completed by Karl and…read morehis crew. The project didn't go off without a few (minor) hitches, as most projects do. Karl was very quick to respond to our concerns and made sure the project stayed on track and the work was completed to our standards. He took the time to recommend places to visit to help us pick out the finishes (flooring, tile, etc.) and worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. He was also able to fix a closet door, a sliding pocket-door and install some cabinets in the laundry that we had purchased (in addition to the bathroom project). Highly recommend Beckman Builders!

I would never hire Larson again.

I called him and inquired about his services and informed him of the size of my yard and he said it wasn't worth his time to even consider doing it. He then told me that since my yard was so small, I should get off my fat, lazy, behind (he used a much more vulgar term) and do it myself instead of trying to waste his time. He had excellent reviews which I was I chose him but now I'm wondering if all the positive reviews are real or not.
