Chris and Ron are good guys! They work fast and they are great about communication -- something that is impeccably hard to find when working with contractors, especially as a woman!
I hired DeVault Construction construction when my first set of contractors were an EPIC failure of miserableness. Chris and Ron stepped right in and got the job done with honest/fair pricing.
The Job:
Let me preface this my saying that I'm highly meticulous, hard to please, and I have a panache for identifying imperfections. So I don't think my standards/expectations are average, but hey, a girl likes what she likes, right?
They installed new 2x8 rafters in my newly vaulted ceiling, extended out my upstairs 1/2 bath into a full bath, re-framed walls, installed a new steel roof, and were superb with helping identify/source and pick up materials.

My few quips are:
Chris is a salesman. There is no doubt that he has picked up a knack for making sure that if you have a construction need,he has a contract in hand for the job. It's also his business and I understand the push. However, after weeks and years of construction, I definitely started to build an intolerance for sales. Nothing personal, but I reached my limit.
The guys started to slack a little towards the end. Like I said, I'm meticulous. I think Chris did a good job under the circumstances. The roof took a little longer then I wanted because two of his guys were no shows and my soffit is unfinished and I haven't heard from them. I'm not bothered because they are solid guys with a straight work ethic.
Chris is really funny and he maintains an upbeat personality. I really appreciated that because life can be so miserable while your life seems to be virtually under renovation.
Ron was also fantastic! He's patient and super kind, definitely the other side of the coin when compared to Chris. They are a nice balance.

Would I use them again? Definitely! If you enjoy not having to deal w/ BS and shady contractors, they are the guys to call. read more
