    Fortuna Construction - Master Bath Project

    It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. John was very thoughtful about the project,…read morebringing up issues that we hadn't considered and that other contractors hadn't mentioned. He offered his opinion but deferred to our preferences and worked to find ways to make our project less expensive. In fact, even though we ended up ordering new cabinets for the desk rather than re-using existing cabinets (because it looked much better) and he did some additional work, the job came in less than he estimated - the first time we've ever had that happen! John was great at keeping us updated on when materials would arrive and allow him to start, and accurate with his estimates. He worked around our schedule and cleaned up at the end of every evening, always making sure that things were safe for our three-year-old and pets. He did several extra small things at the end, such as rewiring some switches in the hall for us, and did them at no charge. John worked very quickly and his work is fantastic - very high quality. You can't even tell that the project was a remodel; it looks like it was always here - which is exactly what we wanted. I can't recommend him highly enough. We will definitely be using him again!

    John recently replaced a deck on our home and let me tell you he is a true "gem". He was honest,…read moreprofessional, diligent, and extremely precise. He communicates every step of the way and his workmanship is outstanding. His work ethic is something that we have not seen in a contractor in a long time. We were amazed at how clean the job site was on a daily basis. It was truly a pleasure to work with John. We highly recommend Fortuna Construction and will use him for all of our home improvement projects in the future! If you are considering doing a home improvement project you definitely need to have John do the job because then you will know the job has been done right!

    Very unprofessional, poor quality company. Had a terrible experience, the wall in my bathroom…read morethey paneled is bulging and falling off and the vent won't work. The worked on my front door it wouldn't close properly, they actually made it worse by ripping the seal at the bottom now it doesn't close properly at all. They tore up flooring over by my back door with nails sticking up because they were looking hiw to fix water coming in. They just tore it up and left it. They scratched my hallway walls and cut pieces off. This is only in 2 hrs. After 2 hours they took a 2 hr lunch came back packed up and said the owner has them going to the other site...???? They left my house looking this way. The young owner is very biased everything is the customer's fault. Read their contract, they made sure the customer always pays even if they messed up. Sad. What happened to honesty? Would never recommend them to my worst enemy.

    2 stars ... one for showing up and one for finally finishing…read more Before using Grand Rapids Construction (located in Howard City, MI) make sure you state a start/end date in contract or you may find your quoted five week project is actually six months (ten months if they use your home as the storage unit prior to start). Ask to speak/view references for comparable project as your job (ask for repeat client references as well). Stick to stated payment schedule in contract (they asked for early payments because project was taking longer than planned). Be your own project manager (as one may not be provided) and the company uses many/different subs that are "cross-trained" and workmanship may not be consistent. Grand Rapids Construction portrays themselves as a large company but in reality a small company stretching their sub's way too thin on "thirty other jobs besides yours". Ultimately we ended up with the master bath we wanted (but we did have to hire additional tradespeople to finish details that GR Construction felt they were "not responsible for"). Very nice/professional in the beginning...not so much at the end. We are getting ready to refinish our basement and "NO" we will not be seeking the services of Grand Rapids Construction again. Hopefully they learned some things on our remodel that will assist their company (and customers) in the future. Good Luck. THANK YOU to Mike (tile craftsman) and Calvin (general) who saved this project!
