Byggmeister has leaped to the top of the list of our favorite contractors. They replaced the foundation and floor of our old bedroom addition. It's beautiful now, and very solid and well-insulated (the opposite of its former state). They also replaced two basement windows, and our carpenter ant infested bulkhead door. Paul's crew were all very nice, interesting, hard-working, and talented people. Great communication throughout the work. Another reason I like them is that they are extremely concerned with the quality of their work - as opposed to those who are simply collecting a paycheck. They said that they will contact us to follow up after a year, and again in 2 years. Finally, they are very much aware of the energy efficiency of the structures they are building, and even brought an air-sealing specialist over one morning to ensure that there were no air leaks into the new crawlspace (what other firm would bother to do that, at least for a crawlspace?). If you go with a dirt-cheap contractor, you may pay less up front, but more over time through your utility bills. read more
