Gearing up for another house project with Tri-Pups! As per usual they have been amazing. We are…read morefinally getting the back yard of our dreams! At this point they have brought out their architect for some design options and provided me with a quote that was very reasonable for the project. They did have a charge associated with having the architect come out that was very small. I can't remember what it was, but it will be baked into the ultimate project payments. Did I shop around? Well... no. These guys have done a lot of work on my house. They have amazing integrity, good pricing from my past shopping around, I can trust them with my dogs and we are mimicking the amazing front porch design they created for me so it just makes sense to stay with a company I trust. Highly, highly recommend.

DreamMaker originally did a nice job in gutting out my old bathroom in my bedroom and remodeling it…read morecompletely. Problems started when I had a leak at the base of my shower on the side with the shower arm and controls. The leak went into the basement and through the wall which caused massive damage to my brand new closet system in my walk in closet and the floor in there on the other side of the wall from the shower. I was left with over $5,000 in damages. I couldn't file an insurance claim really. I have renters that share my home with me and I had to evict a renter for severe damage to my basement and the basement bedroom he was living in. Due to the amount of damage we had to split it into 4 claims. So they told me if I filed another claim, I wouldn't be able to file anymore for 7 years. DreamMaker did agree to fix the problems but they told me it would take a few months because there was a back log on acquiring materials. They came out and caulked the area where the leak was because I had company coming and I needed the shower operational. It was my understanding that the temporary fix was good until they were able to repair it permanently. I was fine with that. A few months went by and there was no follow up from them at all. I sent an e-mail and 3 days went by so I contacted a lawyer to send them my intent to go to court. When I called for their fax number and the employee at DreamMaker realized what I was doing, they suddenly became very responsive. However, I had another representative call and say to me, we did everything we said we were going to do on the appropriate time schedule. You weren't supposed to be using the shower anyway. I felt like they were victim blaming and shaming me. If they somehow thought that would win my business again, then I don't know what the hell they were thinking. So the bathroom originally looked nice, but they're working on it right now and they tore out the shower and the tile floor they just put in. I know mistakes happen, but given the leak, the victim blaming and shaming, the lack of follow up, and their lack of concern for how much I pad out in damages, I cannot recommend them to anyone.

This "company", and it's owner Ashten are a complete joke! Stay away from them at all costs. This…read moreguy is a complete time waster and doesn't follow through with what he's bound to do by his contract. We signed a contract for a porch with this laughable outfit. We were in direct communication with the owner Ashten. As soon as we signed the contract, he was supposed to inquire with the city regarding permits. Not only did he never do that, when we asked for an update numerous times on multiple days after that, this joker doesn't even respond at all. He also refused to provide his license and insurance. Run from this guy and this company, this guy is a complete scam. Any positive feedback he has received is definitely from fake people who never hired him. STAY AWAY!

1) Start date May 14, scheduled end date July 27 (74 days). Date they asked for final payment was…read more10/25/18 (164 days). So 90 days late, 222% beyond time budgeted. Minus 1 star for taking all damn Summer and part of the Fall. 2) Initial demo of bathroom tile on second floor shook loose a connection in the copper piping in the floor, flooding first floor and basement. Took months to get everything cleaned-up to near-original condition, required constant hounding to get their attention. Minus 1/2 star for the poor attention to a problem they created. 3) They asked for a progress payment when only 1 milestone associated with the payment was finished, a walk-through with a subcontractor. Minus 1/2 star for requesting money for nothing. 4) Remodel included repair to water-damaged ceiling in laundry room. The work was not on the original schedule, kept asking when the work would be done, they responded with, "What work?". Had to break out the contract and quote them back their scope-of-work. The project manager's response? "Wow, I didn't realize that, sorry". Paraphrasing. Minus 1/2 star for Read Your Own Damn Contract. 5) Had a gas fireplace insert installed. Three times. Installed before the wall behind was insulated and finished so it was removed for that, then re-framed and re-installed in the wrong place, had to be re-re-framed and re-re-installed. Minus 1/2 star making something simple so complicated. 6) Had portable storage pod in driveway. Had some landscaping scheduled for after the original finish date which required the pod to be gone. Project manager "guaranteed" work would be done before landscapers started, which wasn't true. Had to schlub everything back into the house where it sat piled-up and in-the-way for a month, then had to get another pod and put it all back. Minus 1/2 star for that bogus guarantee. 7) When the project was almost 60 days overdue, it took a negative post on their Facebook page to get some additional resources and oversite from the owners. Minus 1/2 star for making me complain. 8) We kept having morning meetings, sometimes changes were discussed. I'd come home to find work was done without the changes. We kept having meeting, I kept bringing up the same issues, time and time again. Minus 1/2 star for not taking notes. 9) It's the 4th of July, were on vacation in Chicago, our neighbors call and say there are 2 unmarked cargo vans at our house - is everything OK?. I call the project manager, who says there are no workers at the house, so I call the police and start scrambling - what is the best way to ruin our vacation so I can get back home fast? But - Oops! It's some painters, they're in the house, false alarm. Minus 1/2 star. 10) Had a hardwood floor put into an office space room. On a Monday, the project manager e-mailed me to say the wood would be delivered that day and installed on Wednesday. I get it, it's called "acclimating". I get home that night and the floor is down. Then it sat there for maybe a month before it being top-coated. Minus 1/2 star for what was the rush to ruin the wood? 11) The bathroom remodel is at "plumbing final inspection has passed". My wife takes a bath in her long-awaited, life-long-dream of a soaking tub. I hear it raining in the house. Something came loose, water is poring through a light fixture into the room below. The next day, the project manager - who I haven't seen in a month - comes in, doesn't say a word to me. Not, "Hey sorry this happened, glad your wife didn't get electrocuted, we'll get this fixed...", none of that. Not a word. I ask for Meadowlark to come up with a plan in writing to put GFI's on the circuits that could get flooded if this happens again. Their response displays a genuine lack of concern for my family's safety. Minus 1 star for making me so angry that I post a video of the water pouring through my ceiling to their Facebook page. 12) Lots of other issues I didn't even cover (e.g., the "4-star" painters). In their defense everything looks pretty good, finally. So plus 2 stars for that. So, unless my math is poor, that means 5 stars minus 6 stars plus 2 star = 1 star.

We finally decided to remodel our bathroom that was dated to the mid 1950s and chose Steeds…read moreRemodeling to bring us up to date. My wife did a bit of research in finding the right company to hire, and with the results she found online, Steeds was rated very good and thought we made a good decision by trusting them and their years of experience. However, it was a BAD decision on our part The more we started using our new bathroom, the more issues we notice with the quality of work we received, the angrier we get. - Bathroom north wall not being straight (~3/4" difference between top and bottom of wall) - Because the wall is not level, the heat exchange vent cover looks totally off balance. Very noticeable...... - Numerous wall tiles and floor tiles chipped - Numerous wall tiles not aligned or flush with adjacent tiles - Bullnose tiles out of whack as well, very noticeable - Floor not level, causing floor tiles not being level. You did come and replace some but in doing so the grout on the replaced tiles does not match the rest of the bathroom floor. The new grout is much darker causing it to look like it's always wet. - Floor tiles around the toilet not being level caused me to shimmy the toilet so it sits level. - Damaged bathtub. Large chip that even though we had the tub re- glazed, is still noticeable - Damaged front steel door Steeds Remodeling did offer to repair/replace the defected wall and tiles, but we couldn't have the bathroom down for any longer than it already had been and the follow up cleanup. It took us a while to save up the funds just for labor alone. What I'm saying is that for someone who's been in the business of tiling and remodeling for 17 years, the workmanship on our job does not reflect that at all, and the sub-par results was NOT worth what we have paid. During the entire project we treated Steeds with courtesy, respect, offered them water, even setting up a work bench outside so it would be easier for them. I do understand that business such as his do need to earn an income but the demolition and remodeling of our bathroom was not worth it. We did request a partial refund to which Steed remodeling did agree to. We have pictures to prove/verify our dissatisfaction.
