Bill Brown Construction is a phenomenal company in every sense. Contractors all know them as the very best. This company deserves so much more than I can put in a reasonably sized review, but to summarize why it is a mistake to go with anyone else for your foundation needs:
- They have their own top-notch shoring company, so you don't have to work with a separate company to shore, and they REALLY know what they're doing
- The company culture among 100 employees exudes quality and safety above profit. That's just how they do things. Once they're on the job, they're going to do things right to the very end.
- From the laborers to the managers, the guys work hard and get difficult jobs done with a positive attitude, never compromising quality work. When the geotech asked for 2-3 feet excavation into rock, they did 3 every time, despite having to hand dig in cramped spaces.
- I had one of their more challenging jobs, with a tight work area and limited access on a narrow one-way street. They figured out how to get everything in and out, never held up traffic, kept the road clean, and were friendly to my neighbors. I got literally a dozen compliments for this contractor from my neighbors.
- Shockingly, they are price competitive. They are worth paying 20% more for, but they were the low bid for me. And although there were change orders, we negotiated them fairly and easily. They really respected my financial constraints and worked with me.
- As a somewhat clueless homeowner (had never managed residential construction before), there are a number of details not on the plans they could have ignored, but instead flagged each and every one to discuss with me, and worked with me to plan ahead and deal with them so the finished product would be as expected.
I could go on and on with examples of what these guys did that they didn't have to do, and how easy they were to work with...I can't fathom using a different company for concrete or foundations. read more
