Three months ago, Mr. Sievers visited my new home and went over with me a list of 8-remodeling…read moreprojects I wanted done; I had a typed list for him, and he jotted notes and measurements and even made suggestions for enhancements that would make the finished job look even better. When I agreed, he added those to the list. He gave me a start date, told me to choose my cabinets, and said that once I'd done that, he would work up a list of bids for each job so I could decide what he should do first. I hurried and selected cabinets the week and, per his instructions, ordered my new refrigerator and stove,, which he said he would hook up as soon as they were delivered. I picked out cabinets a few days later and that information was emailed to him. Over the next 3-4 weeks he contacted me about odds & ends; each time I mentioned I hadn't yet received the bids. He told me that "in the next few days" he would get them done and email them to me. I contacted him a week before he was to start work (about 5 wks later), and he informed me he was running behind, and it would be 2 additional weeks. I was fine with that. I reminded him that I still hadn't received the bids -- I got the same answer about "the next few days". I called him again the Friday before he was supposed to begin work, and he said it would be another month. I asked him about the bids. Again, he said he planned to work on them in the "next few days". A week later, I asked him if he could come hook up the electric to my stove, as he had said he would, and I asked about the bids. He responded, "I can't work up the bids until I know what work you want done." I was shocked, as had the list, measurements, etc., and he had referred to the different projects several times. I reiterated the information about the list, etc., and he said he couldn't meet my deadline. I had not given him a deadline and had been adjusting to the dates he kept establishing. Long story short -- 3 months of stalling and not doing what he promised to do. As a result, I have been unable to cook or do laundry here in my home the entire time, and nothing has been done.

Burns Builders is currently converting my attic space. While working on this project, the team found a slow carbon monoxide leak from my water heater which was venting out of my chimney.

This company is not one to take shortcuts. They truly take their time, pay attention to detail and keep the cost at a minimum.

He will tell you the cost and what he will have to do to get the job done right, the first time. I am so sick of other contractors screwing things up and then charging extra to fix the mistake. Burns buildings will not do that to you. His price is set in stone. Not many contractors are like that these days. I would trust nobody else for my next job and you shouldn't either.

Awesome guy. Did a good job. Already going to book him for another project. Reasonable price.read more

User Review By Teresa S…read more Cape Girardeau, MO March 29, 2023 spacer If i could give this business a 0 stars i would. Mr. Bleckler added a walk up entryway to my basement. First, he did not get the proper permits for the job and built it against code. There are so many things wrong with this build but i will highlight the worst. Water leaks in everywhere. The inside now has black mold on the studs. The roof had a dent in it and he was going to bring a full sheet of metal to cover it, was here with it and then left with it. I had a specific door i wanted put on that was $319.00. He put on a $125.00 door and told my daughter-in-law, "oops, i got the wrong door." He had workers that we supposedly learning how to do this and the man was supposed to be an electrician but could not install a 3-way switch without throwing a breaker if the light is on and they use an electrical appliance in the kitchen. He was frequently gone and didn't come when he said he would. He told me steel went up and he needed $800 more for it so i paid him in cash. My d-i-l watched me count in the house and then i took it out to him. Whe he came back he said i only gave him $600. He said i was not paying for labor but it is clearly on his bid. When i asked for receipts, i was not given any. He has insurance but only liability not against his workmanship. I attempted to take him to small claims court but he could not be found to be served. I contacted his insurance company for help in reimbursement and that's when i found out his insurance is only liability. The adjuster cannot reach him. I would not hire him to build a doghouse for me.

Everything you see written from CP is absolutely true. He is a scammer he is horrible I know…read morefirsthand because he installed a fence for me which fell over after one week of being installed it was not done correctly he did not get permits as he was required by law. All the excuses CP wrote were absolutely true I also know firsthand that he takes money from people and doesn't even show up with the materials. There is something in action now that will stop him from cashing checks. Do not absolutely do not give him cash and if he's not willing to give you a receipt if you choose to hire him anyway after reading CP and all of this confirming everything then make sure you get that receipt before handing over any money whatsoever. He thinks he is the Teflon Don and everything is going to roll off him but eventually it will all come to an end and again SCP wrote whatever he responds is just another lie

His crew stood me up numerous times. When i told him this Mark told me A) thats its hard to find good help in Southeast Missouri and B) that because i was in school all day while his employees were working they were tired and didn't want to be bothered . I noticed that roof repair that his people claimed had been completed had never in fact been addressed. There were four rooms that leaked at the time I called HCS. Today, three of them leak.
