I find the description on HOUZ to not be accurate. Dwight knew we weren't pleased but just seemed…read morenot to care. In fairness, I believe the work up to the finish is good. But when it comes to finishing, what you & everyone will see for the next 40 years, he doesn't care. Dwight does very little of the work himself & is often not on the site. He never goes back to see what the men accomplished that day to ensure it was what the client wanted. He seems very annoyed if you want it changed & tries to talk you out of it. The work took twice as long as stated & he seemed to think that should have been our expense. Overall, it was a very bad deal.

I had purchased all my aggregate from this supplier for several years with purchases totaling…read morearound $5K. They provide a variety of aggregate at reasonable rates; however, this supplier caters to road crews and big jobs. As an individual, I had a lot of trouble receiving the products in a timely manner. This autumn I finally decided to try another quarry. Then, I realized that I was being treated very poorly by Hardwick. Anyone who has run a project--large or small--understands the value of suppliers providing material when it is promised. Since in this supplier's eyes, I was a small job, I was bottom priority. One time it took nearly a month for them to deliver! I do not recommend this supplier for an individual.

This was our first project with Blackwater HR, and it was kind of tricky. We needed roofing repair,…read morein part to falling shingles by a prior installer, and to help with squirrel damage. Austin came over soon after we made our request, gave us a fair quote, and began the first part of the repair soon after. The project was in two parts because part of the damage was under solar panels. So we paid for what he did, and stayed in touch as the installers weren't able to get to us for weeks. Final roofing work happened yesterday, and he also replaced two shingles that had fallen since he'd left (not his fault). Easy to communicate with, generally responded same day or next day. Would use again.

Update: continuing to realize just how badly I got scammed. Basically I fell down the stairs and I…read morewanted them to be safer by increasing the depth (if you are looking at the stairs it's the front to back distance of each step). All he did was use larger treads with more overhang. The *effective* depth (surface area you have to work with when walking down the stairs) didn't actually change. What I wanted would mean dismantling the entire internal frame for the staircase. He should have been clear that without changing the internal structure it wouldn't accomplish what I want. I guarantee his response is going to be something like "you knew what the job was" etc and make this my fault. People outside the industry don't know what these projects entail that's why we rely on builders! That's why I trusted him! A business owner with integrity would say okay how can we make this right but this is the type of person who thinks everything is someone else's fault. In his mind because the way I confronted him was "rude" and the fact that I didn't see all the problems initially absolves him of any responsibility for the way he left my house. Please please please do not trust him. ________end of update The project was new stairs. We agreed to $4500. Okay, great. Later I offered to buy the materials ahead of time (to get a military discount at HD) then he didn't take that off the total price which I didn't realize until like 3 weeks later. I texted him and he said because I asked him to put a new piece of ceiling trim up (he took it down to look behind it and in the process it was like basically destroyed so yeah obviously). I said there's no way that cost over $600. He responded I never said it was. So I don't understand his reasoning. Half his texts don't even make sense. Anyway I moved on to my complaints about the quality of the end result. I told him I'm mad *now* because I didn't think the final product was that bad until later when I realized just how many problems he left for me to fix. The way he responded to my concerns with the quality of his work was so immature and unprofessional. Basically he tried to gaslight me into thinking his sloppy end result is somehow my fault. Example 1: The wood putty he used around the aforementioned trim is haphazardly caked on and around. It looks like he did it half asleep. He said what did I expect when I asked for new trim at 3pm. Ok? So being tired justifies an ugly end result? Ridiculous. Example 2: The wall paneling around the stairs got damaged in the course of the job. He thinks it's my fault for asking him to replace the white trim on the side of the stairs (I didn't). But that doesn't make sense because there was damage to the bottoms of the wall panels around ALL of the stairs. Either scratches, chunks missing, or wood stain on the walls. He said to just paint over the scratches and missing chunks. I understand that there's going to be damage when you are replacing a whole stairwell but it's expected you patch any damage you do to surrounding structures during the job. He disagrees. In fact when I said that he lashed out at me saying I should have said something at the time and I'm "rude as f*ck." Screenshots of the conversation are posted.
