Greg, Colin and Troy were professional, respectful and did a beautiful job of updating and enlarging a very small shower that was becoming a safety concern as we get older. Troy is a true craftsman. His attention to detail and his experience resulted in a stunning new bathroom. They were all very considerate of my limited budget and allowed me the opportunity to provide certain materials and sweat equity that saved $$. I will certainly use them again if a need arises and I highly recommend the JER team to anyone looking for a quality contractor.

I hired John Erwin Remodeling for a master bathroom remodel that ended up costing significantly…read moremore than their original allowed amount. Eventually I was sent a final reconciliation statement for approximately $8500.00 for the amounts that went over the original allowed amounts that they set. When I tried to dispute, a lien was threatened if I did not pay. I asked for written documentation to support how they set the allowed amounts but it was explained that in a lot of cases "best guesses" were used. Tile ($1,156.57 over) and shower/faucet fixtures ($887.59 over) were significantly over the allowed amounts they set even though I did not change my selections after the initial allowances were set. Also, it would be an extra $292 change order to have drawer pulls and knobs installed on the vanity because it was not "written" into the contract. Most shocking was sheet rocking/drywall-allowance was $1750 but ended up being $4357.18! It started and finished on the dates I was given per their schedule and at no time was I notified of any unforeseen issues that caused it to take longer than expected while it was completed. Permit allowance was set at $750 but it ended up being $1,372.20. In many cases, I was never notified that costs exceeded initial allowed amounts until the final reconciliation statement. I met with John to discuss my concerns about the tile work since bumps could be felt in the floor and tiles on the new pony wall (which was built by John Erwin Remodeling) were not flush. He explained that it's an illusion, he was not willing to inspect with his hands, and noted that due to the age of my house (over 50 years old) that that could pose some problems. For the record, the area of the house where I expressed my concern (approx 34 years old) was a new single story bed/bathroom addition in the early 1990's (I have a copy of the permit to prove it). He was quick to explain that the work meets industry standards and left it at that. If considering using John Erwin Remodeling, request a copy of the contract ahead of time and have your own legal expert review and request language be changed (especially relating to "Allowances" and letting them rely on language that allowances could go up or down) or added that releases you from any liability for costs that go over their allowed amounts and "best guesses". (I'm pretty sure the additional legal cost for contract assistance is pretty minimal in the scope of a home improvement project). This could help prevent "surprise" billing issues and give a more accurate cost from the start. I would also request written documentation used to set all initial allowance amounts from all vendors/suppliers (as well as how long the prices are good for) prior to agreeing to any project. If documentation can't be provided, contact the vendors/suppliers directly to confirm allowed amounts. While John Erwin Remodeling was professional early on as anyone would be to get business (did not ask for a large amount of money up front, charts to show the timeline, etc.), in the end my experience was much more in line with the other lower rated reviews-the final cost was much greater than the initial allowance amount they set and when questioning the work, blame was placed on the age of the house (the area in question is about 34 years old and not over 50 years old as John noted). Using John Erwin Remodeling was the worst business transaction I have ever been involved with and I would not use them for future projects.

These guys are fantastic, I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review…read more We had a pipe leak in a bathroom wall which caused all kinds of damage to our floors, walls, and crawl space. We contacted Chaz and Jeannette after both the contractor and flood mitigation companies recommended by our insurance company dropped the ball. Titaan came in and fixed the mess left by those companies and the pipe leak. They refloored our entire bottom level, remodeled the bathroom, had custom stair treads made, and stayed in touch with our insurance company. Most importantly, they finished the job before our Christmas Eve party. I almost wish we could have another pipe leak so we could have them back to remodel another bathroom. Seriously, they do great work. At the very least, call them out for an estimate. They have excellent communication as well, we knew what was happening at every phase of the project.

Ron Rougeaux at PNW Home Group was my real estate agent for my first home purchase in late February…read moreand was an absolutely awesome dude to work with. He came highly recommended from a friend who also bought their house with Ron and now I'll be doing the same when someone asks me! Not only was he open to my wants and needs while searching for a home, but also very flexible and really jumps on things quickly which is so important in this competitive market. And was more than happy to answer all my thousand rookie questions about the purchasing process and how to fix the items on my inspection report. Ron himself does a lot of his own work on his personally-owned properties, which makes him an excellent resource for a new DIY-er such as myself to help me understand what I may be getting into. He even went as far as offering to let me borrow some tools I might have needed to help me with the renovations which is way above and beyond good customer service in my book. Ron also has a lot of valuable experience in the real estate world which goes a long way. And also a great team and expanded network of people involved in the process. He was able to get me in touch with a great loan officer as well who took good care of me and the loan. Ron is an overall good dude and is invited to the housewarming cookout for sure haha. I recommend him highly for anyone looking to get into the market. 10/10
