Derek and his team demonstrated why they are considered master carpenters in the North Country. Their attention to detail is second to none--whether it was the precision of the finish work or the way they handled the structural elements of the remodel. They took our vision and elevated it, maintaining a clean, professional job site throughout. Derek was often able to make recommendations on upgrades such as insulation and wiring that will save us money in the future. If you want a contractor who communicates clearly and delivers high-end, bespoke craftsmanship, look no further than LaFountain Builds. We couldn't be happier with our 'new' home

I had just moved to the area back in November of 2024. Trying to get my house ready for my elderly…read moreparents to move in, I hired Brad and Jess to build a ramp and to renovate my garage. I was deciding between tearing the garage down or trying to get the supports corrected. Brad said that he could save the garage and I agreed. I told them that I was looking for a clean enclosed finish. They said I would have to wait until spring for the outside to be painted though, and I agreed to that. Along the way they seemed to forget what a finished product looked like. The trim is not completed and the shelves that they offered to build out of scraps from decking that I already had, ended up being sloppily built with particle board. The crushed stone that they were supposed to put in for the floor, ended up being large rocks that I can't walk on. Jess even said that it was the wrong product, but they put it in anyway, while I was out of town. Along the way of these jobs, I had them work on some small jobs that I needed done. Practically every job they did, ended up a disaster. They ruined a brand new counter top by cutting it without asking me, and it was cut and cracked. They offered, and I agreed that they could fix it by putting in a butcher block cutting board. The cutting board is definitely not a butcher block, it is a make shift piece of wood, to try and look like one. I let it go, because this had gone on for over a month of them coming in my kitchen at all different times and sawing and making a mess. I just wanted them out of there. There are so many other instances, too much to list. The final straw was when they were fixing a leaky door. I texted and asked when they were going to work on it, because once again said they were coming and didn't show up. I am very patient and they would show up whenever they wanted, and leave after a short period. A lot of times because they didn't feel well or didn't have the correct tools. Anyhow, when I asked when they were coming to work on this project, I got a very rude text, swearing at me and blaming me for the leaky door. Then when I was offended , I was told by his partner, that he is human and everyone has bad days. This is unacceptable, to speak to a customer or anyone like that. I have bad days also, I am single handedly, taking care of my parents in their 80's, but I don't take it out on anyone. My house and yard have been left a mess and I don't want them back, because like I said, none of the jobs were completed correctly, some not completed at all. I realize that they are new business, but the mistakes they made were just carelessness. I feel like they are trying to take on more than they can handle. I hope that they get it together, and learn how to respect other people's property.

Total incompetence. No sense of responsibility for poor workmanship…read more All I wanted was to be able to replace an existing thermostat with a WiFi / cell phone controllable model. Instead what happed was the electrician, Josh, fooled around with the wiring to the 4 rooms controlled by that thermostat, departing on that day of service without achieving that goal and leaving me with one room without heat. When he returned on the following day with a colleague, more work with wires, in the end leaving me with 2 rooms without heat, a bypassed breaker switch, and a fryed $200 thermostat. He charged me $550 for this disaster. Now I have to hire a new electrician to repair the damage. Do not recommend for anything more than changing a lightbulb.

Almost immediately after scheduling this, the electrician asked to move the appointment to Friday. Inconvenient, but fine. I coordinated the visit with my tenant once again and planned it for Friday. Heard nothing on Friday. On Monday, I get this email: "I have run into some scheduling conflicts and I will not be able to submit a price for the work you have requested. Thank you for considering us for the work." No explanation, he just disappeared. I called and talked to the guy who wrote this email, and he explained that he can't give a quote on complicated projects. He was simply unwilling to investigate and give me a number. So much for "scheduling conflicts." Don't waste your time requesting a quote. They may not even give it to you, and they'll lie to you about why.
