Words in a review can't describe how grateful I am to have found this company..... for years I've…read moredealt with contractors that don't show up, don't call you back, excuse after excuse.Ed was none of that. We had a month-long project that and a vision of how we wanted things to look, and he may have done it better than Chat designed it! His work ethic phenomenal. His devotion to detail, phenomenal. Cleanup, phenomenal. The entire process was explained, picture sent, and never once complained about change orders that any job the size would have along the way. I can only say how grateful I am to have found him, and to anyone coming across this review, stop looking and call him. Thank you again Ed for building the cabin of our dreams..... and look forward to using you in the future

I wouldn't use Ed / Artisans Construction to do any work for me if he paid me; that is how bad our…read more10 (supposed to be 6) week renovation was. We ended up firing him at the start of week 11. My husband and I decided to take on the work ourselves. Not only did we have to finish a lot of work, but many of the things had to be redone because of shoddy workmanship. Cabinets weren't level, were not hung securely, were hung over walls that needed fixed, & filler pieces were attached backwards. We expressed concern to Ed multiple times and were told that we needed to be patient & give him time or that things are within code (we have since learned this is incorrect!) Cabinets were hung before drywall and paint so he could get his money drawl earlier. I have documentation & pictures to back up everything. There was no respect for our property. No plastic was put up to cover our belongings, grout was all over our new carpet, mortar was on our black cabinets, our furniture was used as a ladder because they continuously came unprepared, and they actually wrote measurements on the brand new cabinets! We went 3 weeks in the middle of our reno with little to no progress. Ed's answer was to consistently throw his employees under the bus. There were several days where no one showed & Ed did not communicate with us or 1 or 2 workers would come for an hour or two then leave. The very last thing that they were supposed to do is come & hang one cabinet. Instead of hanging the cabinet, they cut part of the wall off and left with the cabinet sitting on the kitchen floor. I can't make this stuff up! My husband had to completely rebuild the wall. Ed never responded when I asked what happened. Ed promised numerous times that he would be here to oversee the the work, that he was going to put in our tile floor & backsplash - none of those promises came to fruition. Over 10 weeks he was here very little. We finally put a stop pay on our last check after everything that we had been put through because they weren't showing up (we paid a portion up front and the amount of work remaining far exceeded what had been done). At this point, we had paid thousands and weren't even close to having our project completed after 10 weeks. Being displaced in your home with 3 dogs during Thanksgiving and Christmas was awful. We were told this would be finished before Thanksgiving multiple times! We will eventually tear up the tile floor that they didn't install correctly. On top of everything else they installed an electric cooktop and didn't run electric to it. They fixed plumbing twice then my husband ended up redoing it for the 3rd time. We gave members of the crew our dishwasher, washing machine and dryer plus all of our old cabinets. We are good reasonable people. There were two or three workers who were good workers/people but unfortunately the bad outweighed the good. We have had to deal with a lot of remodeling both with and without contractors and nothing was as bad as dealing with Artisan Construction. Not only is Ed not a good businessman, I don't even think he's a good person.
