The project finished with some delays and incurred quite a bit more expense, due to various reasons. But the end result was satisfactory, and Wayne absorbed the additional costs. We are very impressed with the quality of Wayne & co's work, and highly recommend them to others needing home repair and construction.

He responded right away, gave a good estimate and we had him do the remodel. Work was done in the time he estimated and for the price he quoted. Quality of the work was excellent and he was able to handle all the little (and big) issues that one encounters in an old house. Very satisfied with all his work and hope to get him to do more this year.

George started working on various interior projects a week after we moved in. He worked a solid two weeks. He started off by doing upgrades and repairs to our three bathrooms. He then replaced ugly carpeting on two sets of stairs and replaced hardwood stairs. This included staining and and putting two coats of polyurethane on the stairs. What was once a major eyesore is now beautiful, to say the least. George is very professional and does solid work. Even better than that his prices are fair. We like him so much that he is coming back in a few weeks to rebuild our deck and put in a patio. I would recommend George for almost every household fixup issue. I am so happy that he was recommended to us!

All started out well with Michael Bragg, as he returned my inital email, and came out for an…read moreestimate quite quickly. I walked him through the job I wanted to have done, which was redoing the exterior trim on our house around our three garage bays and well as some of the front sections on our house in PVC board. I would also have him install a ceiling fan and Nest thermostats. He came, spent a good amount of time at the house and supplied an estimate for the job. He seemed like a decent person and I enjoyed talking with him and as no other contractors had even retuned my calls (I called 4 others in the area). I was very clear with him that I wanted the job done right, and done once (something I repeated to him many times while he was working on the house as well, and he said this was how he worked). I gave him the job.  Upon arriving, I had decided to expand the job to the entire front of the house, as he had told me he had some time between jobs, and I figured it would be best to do it all at once. I asked him for a rough estimate, and as it was reasonable, I moved forward. As he started pulling up the trim, he found some areas of water damage, which delayed the project about day. You can't not fix water damage, so the delay was understandable and by end of the second day, all the damage was repaired.  That's where it all when downhill. After this point, progress was slow and I wanted to see what was going on. He gave me a number of excuses for why pieces were't done yet, and among those was the fact that one of the garage bays was a different size than he was expecting, and he had already cut the material and would need to remeasure and cut again. I was quite astonished by this, but thought I'd wait to see how he billed for his error. After this, I decided to work from home as many days as possible to keep an eye on him and his team. Following that, his team (of 5 people now working hourly at $400 each) had issues with the cold, started packing up at 2:30 and were gone by 3. I was charged for the full day for all workers. I should note here that as I was talking to him before the job, he said he worked from 8 to 5 and was the kind of person to make sure the person to be thorough and clean up after the job every day. Every day, his entire team was packing up before 4, and were gone at 4 on the dot. Michael himself was always there at or before 8 and often stayed after 4 to chat with me, but this was usually as I asked him questions about the job as I had a number of concerns. At the end of the first week, I was watching him team taking apart the siding, with one person particularly struggling with the removal.  He nearly ripped off part of the roof, and damaged some of the rain guides (sorry, I don't know the actual term for what this piece is) in the progress. Another working was replacing siding, but doing so at an angle.  I spoke with Michael and told him I did not want either of these people working on the house anymore. He understand and agreed, and told me they weren't usually on his team. On week two of the job, I told him I needed him to finish up by the end of the week, as I would be leaving town and the job was getting more and more expensive, as he decided he would start working hourly and would need to order much more material than expected (even after buying more material when I expanded the job on day one, and in the end, he didn't have enough material to do the remaining part of the job - I did end out with hundreds worth of leftover material, though the wrong size to finish the primary portions trim I needed him to complete.) Week two was supposed to be his remaining team of 3 (something he confirmed on Monday), plus one person coming back to do a high ceiling fan and thermostats that were itemized on the original estimate. He said he would be able to complete the job by the end of the week.  Throughout the job, I did tell him what needed to be done, and that if he was unable to, to let me know so we could make a gameplan to do the most important parts first, and wait on the rest. Every day I checked in on him and all was on track.  As I mentioned earlier, I constantly reminded him that it needed to be done right, not fast - which needed to be reiterated after seeing a lot of cracked siding, misaligned siding, damaged elements and his team working slow).

Sebastian (one of the owners) showed up on time, walked through the entire process, made recommendations, and was the perfect combination of personal and professional. I received my quote that same evening. The next morning, I called them back (again, they answered), and was able to schedule the installation for the following week. Fast forward to installation day: they arrived on time, gave me timing expectations, and went to work. There was a little more work than anticipated, which they DID NOT charge extra for, and it took about 2 hours longer than expected. During this time, Sebastian pulled the single most unexpected move in the history of professional contractors... He went out and bought lunch for ME (and his crew). He apologized for the delay, and wanted to reassure me that they had to make sure everything was done correctly, and didn't want to rush. Upon completion, I paid the invoice cost (he refused to take money for the lunch), and I asked how I could help promote his business. I've worked with well over 50 contractors in my life, and Sebastian ranks one of the best. If you need insulation, or know anyone who does, then do yourself a favor and give these guys a call.
