Wish I could give ZERO stars. Shady company. Their license should be pulled and they should be banned from doing business anywhere in Indiana. We hired Dale to do our fence. He never got the permit and said the homeowner had to get one, so we did. He also wasn't licensed in our town, which we found out when the inspector came by and alerted us to it. Once he got license, he came in with a crew of about 3-4 nitwits who couldn't drive a nail into a board. They cut neighbor's buried internet cable, which was clearly marked by the city, missed the property line by about 6 feet, all the posts were uneven with hardly an concrete to support them. At first Dale didn't even want to use concrete to secure the posts. We had to talk him into using it. Then the circus crew misaligned the posts so the fence looked crooked. When we questioned the "straight" line, Dale blamed it on us and said that that's how we wanted it and that he was not going to fix it. We made him fix it nonetheless. Why the heck would we want the fence to bend? Damn clown. Second, to even the ground under the fence we had to order some dirt, Dale and his crew decided to take a little vacation without informing us they won't be working for 4 days, so when the landscaping company we bought the dirt from arrived, they dumped the dirt in our driveway not knowing there won't be anyone to move it for 4 days. We made Dale come out on the weekend and move the giant pile of dirt so that we could our cars out of the garage. Dale had to rent a front loader to move it. He was not pleased. He later tried to bill us for renting the machine, which we refused. The crew had to be supervised at all times and every single mess up had to be corrected as soon as discovered. Huge hustle dealing with this crew. Thank God it was only a fence and not anything more involved. They can't measure correctly, will add random charges to your bill, smoke like chimneys, throw garbage over your neighbor's fence. Just an absolute scam of a company. Couple bags of concrete also mysteriously disappeared. Check your bill very closely and question every item. Better still, DO NOT HIRE!!! read more

I had a pipe break above my finished ceiling in my basement. Dale came right over and fixed it. With the drywall ripped out from water damage, I decided to use CC to redo my bathroom above this area. Well, where do I start? The shower where the tub was had to be rebuilt 3times. (Do they not use a ruler or a level? Apparently not) The plumbing had to to be redone 4 Times.The shower floor was sloped away from the drain, had to have someone in to redo it for $500. ( I sponged up the puddle in the shower after I got out and it was 6 cups of water sitting there.)Also, get this, CC never hooked up the shower drain before the drywall went back up! Luckily I caught it, and Dale came and fixed his employees work by cutting a hole in the ceiling again and hooking it up. Fortunately it was before my first shower. (The drywall was taped sooo poorly, I had to re-sand, and even redo the taping in areas before painting it) A heat duck was left 2" from the floor hole, so heat (and ac) was going into basement instead of bath. Employee also put in a very powerful Broan Range hood. I noticed it made incredible noise and when I really needed it for smoke and turned it on high, it blew it back down into the kitchen. WELL, the cutouts for the 7" exhaust on the fan were never popped out before connecting to outside venting. Thus, air was pushed back down on range. I sent Dale a bill for $497 for shower, and no charge on fixing range hood, and he wants itemized bills and pictures to show the problems, and documentation that my new guy was licensed and insured. I'll bet you his employee isn't licensed....maybe Dale is insured. Where was my itemized bill for materials when he did this? I never got one. I'm letting it go and moving on, but NOT before telling other home owners around here to think twice before hiring them!!! One year later.......I just replaced my filter in my Refrigerator, and by running the water through it, I found that the water was HOT not cold. The worker hooked it up to the HOT WATER pipe instead of the cold. Does this guy do anything right???? I don't think so. Now I have to have another plumber come in and fix this mistake too! ! Unbelievable is what this company is and does. DO NOT USE THEM!!!!!!M read more

Where to begin - Hired Dale and CC to gut out and remodel our family heirloom for $100k We never complained about the price. Made promises he did not keep "promised move in ready" far from it! had to scrape and sand the entire house and repaint; not licensed plumber or electrician yet proceeded to do all plumbing and electrical work in the house; was under the impression he would be subcontracting it out; Neither Dale nor some of his employees can read a tape measure, walls are not square; lights are not centered; ceiling fan is not centered in living room. Pantry door was a jerry-rigged bi-fold with a 2x4 attached Kitchen cabinets were covered in pencil marks where they were installing the handles to the drawers instead of being on the inside of the draw and were cleaned. About one inch or more of drywall dust on new appliances and inside cabinets that was not cleaned. I aked Dale to place the hot water heater on blocks in the basement, was not done. internet and satellite wires were lost in the walls bought a brand new van within two weeks of getting a draw from our job employees complained about not being paid by Dale almost weekly loose deck boards, windows are not caulked Was told that my basement window size was not available, he put in smaller windows. I went to Menards and FOUND the correct size window, but it was too expensive for him to install even though I paid him. installed the water pipe from the meter to the house, was not sealed properly and flooded the basement Addition built by Dale is not finished and is going to take months for us to save up the money to get it fixed; Dale bullied me into paying him all but $1000 or he would put a lien on my family heirloom and own the house withing 60 days, not being familiar with the laws in Indiana (we just moved here from FL) we gave him the money and then he walked off the job. There is construction debris all over my yard, as well as cigarette butts; Asked Dale to build a handicap ramp, which is too steep to be used as be used by a wheelchair, or walker of any kind; Dale promised me move in ready, that there would be nothing that we needed to do when we moved in... Since moving in about a week ago, we have had to replace a cheap showerhead, that did not have enough pressure to rinse shampoo out of my wife's hair; replaced the drain in the bathroom sink; repainted the entire house inside. Fixed and repaired all doors in the house. Must have circuit breakers replaced, as Dale put the wrong kind & wrong size in the house. In the bathrooms, there are no beauty rings around the pipes just a HOLE in the wall. The utility sink just sitting there, not attached to the wall or floor, the only thing holding it in place is the drain and pipes. After paying over $100k and got the cheapest of the cheap, or maybe even the marked down materials which his employees had to work harder and redo things several times. We had no say in anything installed in the house, except for the color of the tile and color of cabinets. The brand new addition has doors that don't open or close properly, has a leak, windows were not caulked, floor to the addition is lower than the deck, so that water flows from the deck into the addition. Rubber gasket on exterior door was not installed properly and is falling off. After he walked off the job, no KEYS to my house were returned. Forced to change the locks, and costs us more money. Exterior wall that was fixed by CC still leaks. Brand new siding installed is full of dings and is bent! One of his employees was constantly parking on my grass, digging ruts in the grass, after asking him and Dale not to park on the grass, he continued to do so. Dale promised during the spring to bring in a truck of black dirt since it was his employees that caused the hole in my yard. I don't expect this to happen! Had an employee making a drug deal on my property! We were supposed to move in Thanksgiving; then it was the week before Christmas; then it was the first week of January. We just moved in last weekend! I spent the last 3 1/2 weeks fixing and repairing the walls,painting etc., so that we could move in. I would not recommend anyone to use Dale Buckner or Capital Construction . This has been a stressful and I fear an elderly homeowner may be taken advantage of as we were by this man and his company. read more
