I am so disappointed in the way I was treated by the employees of this company after a rock that…read morefell from their dump truck smashed my windshield On the Glenn Highway. I brought it to their attention immediately and was immediately treated rudely and essentially was told I was lying and that there is no way that could have happened. I explained that I saw the rock fly at me from the box, but they dismissed anything I said. I expected they would have offered to submit a claim through their insurance or perhaps offer to help pay for the repair. I used to be a customer, as I prefer to hire local companies, but I will never ever give business to these people who treat other people that way again.

Overall, hands down AMAZING experience!…read more We had just an estimate done on a house my husband and I were interested in buying and holy red flags! Sam was able to explain everything he was seeing in not only a professional manner, but also layman's terms for us to understand. He not only pointed out all the issues to us and how they were occurring, BUT he also took the time to fully explain what exactly was going on, how to properly fix the issue, and what to look out for in future potential houses. He checked in multiple times throughout our 2 hour estimate to ensure we fully understood what he was explaining and allowed us to ask any questions we had without judgement or belittlement. The house we were interested in buying had major moisture issues in the crawl space discovered on home inspection. We had the sellers "fix" the problem hoping they would properly fix it in good faith. When we reinspected, we noticed that the issue was still occurring and that's when I decided it was time to pull our own specialist in because things just weren't adding up. We called him numerous times after the fact with further questions and he answered every time with exquisite professionalism and without hesitation. He went above and beyond and checked in with us a few times via phone call after our meeting with him to further ensure our understanding and instructed us to call him anytime if we had further questions. He is an incredibly valuable resource on what would have been a VERY bad real-estate investment. If you are buying a house and have questions, or if things just aren't adding up DO NOT hesitate to have a professional come in on your behalf. Hands down it will pay itself off in either peace of mind or avoidance of a major financial catastrophe. At the time of our estimate, it was only $100 for him to come out and take a look (AND if you go with him for your contracting needs, that $100 rolls right into the repairs). I personally feel like we made out like bandits for his his time and expertise as I would have happily paid more after the fact. We will pay him $100 ANY time to come take a peak and will HAPPILY use him for ALL our future needs. TAKE MY MONEY! Otherwise we would have been $117k++ in the hole had we gone through with the real-estate deal. If you are looking for, or in need of an actual decent, creditable contractor WITH OUT the BS Sam is your guy! We will certainly call him every time with questions on our next future investment OR with ANY remodels we may have with our future dream home.

Absolutely the worst service ever. I had my driveway put in 1 1/2 years ago now. When I hired North…read moreStar to do my driveway, they said it would be done that week. 2 months later, they showed up and they did it wrong! They "fixed" it by patching the edges to get it to size. Also, they then didn't honor the original discount and offered a different discounted price which saved me $50 off of my $3,800 bill. Now, the driveway is already sinking and crumbling apart. The patch has separated from the driveway. It will need to be redone soon. $3,600 just got tossed into the fire. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
