I found Stein Construction through HomeAdviser. I was looking for a handyman…read more Sam Stein, the patriarch came to my house April 25, 2019, reviewed my needs, gave me a price and wrote up a contract. Sam is the head of this family business. He's 78 and has worked in this business his whole life. HE KNOWS A LOT OF PEOPLE . . . to get things done in the house -- and outside the house. The first contract was to deconstruct parts of the basement to make way for Woods Basement Systems to re-pier and anchor the house: the bar and the setee; install a new downspout for the second floor, so all water wasn't running in one direction; correct the gutter direction so the water flow was balanced between the two downspouts; rescreen the patio door (scratched to death by dogs, and hillbillied by me); replace the pull-chain light in the closet under the basement stairs; put new rubber lining on the French Door out to the deck; and replace the floodlight in the back yard. The second contract was May 3, 2019, to construct a French Drain, which required six guys in ONE day to dig, place and refill soil. Sam drew pictures, so I knew what was going on -- especially to make sure this was occurring on my property. Sam talked to my neighbor, and I did, too. SAM KNOWS PEOPLE!! The third contract was June 17, 2019, to remodel the hall bath on the second floor. I selected the cabinets at Lowe's with Helen Gregory. Sam's son, Andy, and I selected the countertop to match the marble I already had (rather recently) in the tub area. Andy did all the measuring for the cabinets. And I was not replacing the floor. White tile . . . why argue? Everything was moving smoothly until Woods Basement Systems said half of the front wall, including in the cedar closet, needed to come down to make way for the anchors. That changed things up a lot. And it changed all the prices, and it changed the timing. I was frantic. Nobody flinched -- just took it in stride. THESE THINGS HAPPEN!! A lot of work/improvement came to my house from Sam Stein. And much happiness to me. Throughout all of this, Sam would drop by almost every day to ensure things were moving along and moving appropriately to my liking and to his specifications. The hall bathroom remodel was finished in mid-December. It is gorgeous! And all of the other work was supremely performed. These are great people. Sam, his son Andy and son-in-law Rich (the major painter, stucco guy and trimmer) -- all did a fantastic job!!

I cannot recommend doing business with this company. You pay a premium for professionalism and…read moreexpediency with these contractors. I got neither. Spend your hard earned money on a better staff that communicates and schedules at a professional level. TLDR: Because of scheduling negligence and poor communication, my project for a deck and patio cover was 3 times delayed and downgraded to just a deck because of administrative issues. Ultimately it was completed almost 3 months after the initial estimate. Our 12x20 deck ended up being $28,000. I put the initial deposit down in mid April for a deck (12x20) and screened in patio cover attaching to my house. It was an expensive project (~$41,000) that we were excited to have done. They estimated completion of the entire project by mid June. After the deposit we heard nothing from them until late May for a quick measurement on our property to verify the drawings. We expected the construction timeline to be very similar to the initial estimate. We heard nothing for weeks. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I reached out at the end of the month for an update. My PM stated they were a few weeks behind-- frustrating that the information wasn't shared, but understandable given the rainy spring. Fast forward a few weeks and yet again I was given the run around. I had many unanswered texts and phone calls. It was the end of July when I finally heard back from them. Turns out the project manager assigned to me dropped the ball. The permits for the initial deck and patio cover were approved, but allowed to expire. On resubmission it was found to be a violation of city ordinance so the patio cover had to be removed from the project. The 3rd round of permitting finally got approved. At this point I was very frustrated with the 1.5 month delay and ready to cancel. They whipped up a new contract quickly and I returned it quickly. Somehow things were still delayed. Finally they began on August 27th. The crew was FANTASTIC. They worked incredibly hard and had it up in 3 work days. I cannot praise them enough, their product was great. They are the only reason this experience was 2 stars instead of 1. At the end of the project I aired my grievances and was told they could not offer any discount despite the issues. I didn't even get an apology until I asked for some sort of reparation. Ultimately there are too many other decking companies that would be easier to work with that I would not recommend working with this one.

They took a lunch break and left each day by 3pm! One day, I saw that they were using my extension cord that they'd taken from my garage without asking! Umm bring your own equipment please or at least ask to borrow. Only one of them could speak broken English. They were scared of my dog so I HAD to be home while they were working. It was ridiculous. Their drywall skills were pathetic and tape and muddying looked like my preschool kids did it. When I would show Rick their shoddy work he would had them correct it but it was over and over and over. Their paint work was poor. Parts of the floor tile had to be removed and replaced. We found The ductwork was left unhooked up and ceiling tiles right over unfinished ductwork. I would not recommend and I will never use again. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY as they hire non English speaking men who do do not know how to do interior construction work. Egress window leaked too

We received quotes from a dozen contractors and none of them could stick to our budget. Rick provided some solutions that would help us stay under budget and still have a really nice space. It is now the BEST space in the house. We will be calling on Rick again for our next renovation. We had a one-year-old at the time of renovation and it was in the middle of the Covid 19 Pandemic. Rick and his team were incredible with checking on us and letting us know in advance how our day might be disrupted by the work. They were considerate of sound levels when he was napping and so courteous of our home life, which we were still adjusting to ourselves. This showed us a lot about the character of Premier 1 Properties. They care about the quality of their work, but they also care about their customers and their experiences during renovations.

After a successful and responsive refinishing project I had high hopes for painting of my interior…read morehome. All started well enough, and we got things started. I was under the impression that these were direct employees of his, his crew. Basically he was acting as a general contractor that hired another company or hired some people looking for work. Not really sure here. I realize I made some changes, but they were clear and written in a revised proposal. I didn't want the doors painted, then I got a phone call that they were painted. Sure, he didn't charge me for this, but that is proper after all. I didn't want the trim painted, and paid for that, because I missed it in the proposal. My fault. They also painted the hardware for opening/closing the windows, those were metal and need the proper paint, I did have them take that off. The house didn't have flooring in, so I was asked about drop cloths, I said use them but don't worry too much about a few paint splatters. However, I did indicate that I wasn't removing the slate flooring and to be careful. Here is a big fail, many paint spots. He tried to have them clean it up. Now the floor is sticky, you can here the soles of your shoes and feel it too. He tried cleaning that up, when it wasn't done, he offered to do it again. I really felt he had done enough. I'm still trying to find a way to clean this up, because it's sticky any dust or what not sticks to it. It's really upsetting, as I loved this detail. I will look to bring in some professionals and see what this will set me back. There's also spots on the bathroom floors, which were also said that I wasn't removing. And those doors that were painted, they weren't dry and were closed, now that paint has popped off, so I have to touch that up, or maybe just start replacing doors. I realize also this review is a year since the work was done, I was in the middle of doing the rest of the work this last year. I almost considered them for doing the kitchen rehab. I really feel I dodged a bullet there. Noah, is a nice man, I think his intentions are good. However, the whole interior project was a mess, left me very frustrated, and I have projects left to do because of it. I don't think he checked up on the work as it was being done, and I don't think he looked at it after until I contacted him. Paint shouldn't have been on that slate, nor should you stick to your floor. I also had to point on paint spots on light fixtures, that should've been cleaned. Just no.

His plan was much better and less expensive than the other bids/plans I had received. So this year, when I decided to remodel my bathroom, I called Big John's again. They just finished remodeling my bathroom, and they did an excellent job. From the estimate to the finish, everything went very well. John's workers took pride in their work and were always measuring and leveling to make sure everything was perfect. They were very respectful and friendly and they cleaned up after each day. When they finished, they assured me that they guarantee their work. This is a dependable, honest business that I highly recommend.

The problems we have encountered include, but are not limited to:…read morePoor quality finishes and workmanship that do not meet reasonable expectations for a new build Defective or improperly installed materials Repeated warranty items that either remain unresolved or require multiple visits to correct Lack of quality control prior to closing, shifting the burden to the homeowner after possession What has been most frustrating is not just the number of issues, but the time, effort. This has consumed significant personal time and created unnecessary stress. A homeowner should not have to act as a project manager to correct fundamental construction and quality problems. Unfortunately, this experience has made it clear that the focus appears to be on finishing the job and collecting payment, rather than delivering the level of quality promised. This has been further reinforced by the condition of the cabinets, which have scratches, discoloration, and functional issues. Some drawers do not operate properly, and the proposed solution was simply to provide a marker to cover visible imperfections. The cabinets feel more like second hand materials than new installations. Overall, it feels as though leftover or substandard materials were used, while every upgrade was still fully charged. This has been extremely disappointing and does not align with the expectations set when purchasing a home from Consort. Before the house was completed, multiple concerns were identified, including but not limited to: - Incorrect placement of a toilet - Materials used that were not what was expected or discussed - Kitchen cabinet build‑ins for the stove and microwave that did not align with what was represented - The driveway not meeting expectations, including visible cracking After closing and moving into the home, it became clear that the flooring issues were far more significant than originally presented. Since then, we have identified a growing list of items requiring attention, including but not limited to the flooring. We are now being told that the entire first floor flooring needs to be replaced, which underscores the seriousness of the issue and confirms that the original concern raised prior to closing was valid, and the home being was delivered with the wrong elevation than what was selected and agreed upon In addition to the flooring, there are other issues ranging from the condition and cleanliness of the home at move‑in to various workmanship and installation concerns. The volume and nature of these items have been overwhelming and have significantly impacted what should have been a positive experience.
