We burned a hole into our covered patio wooden beam and we weren't sure what to do. We contacted our contractor, and they said contact an engineer. I found Bill's organization online. BSM Engineering - talk about a professional organization. From the moment we started interacting through email correspondence to multiple telephone calls, to a final verdict on what to do next, Bill was the highest degree of professionalism. Throughout the whole thing, Bill guided me in the process and helped me to understand the complexity of the issues. Add a proverbial cherry to the top of this otherwise phenomenally smooth process; and guess what, Bill didn't charge us a thing. He did the whole thing pro bono. Talk about a phenomenal company. The highest degree of professionalism. The best customer service. An incredibly well trained and highly ethical engineer. What more could you want? I can't think of anything better. If you ever need an engineer, and I know this for certain as far as our engineer needs in the future are concerned, go with Bill and BSM Engineering. You will be 100% satisfied.

This is a mixed review since there is good and bad to mention. I contracted with this company to…read morereplace my siding and double decks. This wasn't the lowest priced bid, yet it also wasn't the outrageously high quotes I received from other companies. I was very excited to finally get this work done. At the same time I was working with TGR, I was also contracted with a roofing company, a painter, and a gate company. In the end, the only company I had problems with was TGR Construction Co. There are things I wasn't prepared for in this process, such as my pictures falling off the walls during the siding tear off or the cracks in the ceiling and walls created with the tear off, of which they tried to tell me all these NEW cracks (I live in this home) are due to normal settling of my home and said all houses settle with time and this is normal and not due to the siding job. I know it's not a coincidence these new and sudden 'settling' cracks appeared with the siding work. They broke through the ceiling upstairs and they did own up to this, maybe because it's hard to justify 'normal' settling with sudden stucco all over the floor. There were structural issues that arose during the project, at nobody's fault, that ended up costing me $11K more than my contract. Then I was also charged $4900 more to remove windows and have them reset. Btw, three other companies included the window removal and reset in their contract. It was considered standard for other companies. After the siding and decks were done, I was left with HVAC refrigerant lines on the ground and blocking doors and windows for my tenants, wires dangling under the deck staircase, the Radon remediation system wasn't reattached correctly and sparked scaring a HVAC technician and me, a deck rail was reset too low, refrigerant line covers were accidentally thrown out, and my daughter and I each did double sweeps for nails left behind when work was done. It took almost two months of asking for them to resolve these unresolved issues before some things were finally done. Jan 20th, three months after the crew left, I finally had the last unresolved issue handled. As a consumer, when I contract with a company, I expect to have the job done right without unnecessary stress. That did not happen here. On the POSITIVE, the crew is hardworking and really nice guys. The siding and double decks look great now. My home underwent a metamorphosis and is now beautiful and I receive compliments. I had crappy, rotting decks replaced with sturdy decks. This is the only reason I give a 2 rating instead of lower. All the mishaps, repair delays, and stood up appointments made this extremely frustrating and stressful. Could I have achieved my desired results without the frustration? I'm sure I could have with a different company. Buyer beware! Educate yourself on all steps that need to be in your contract. Make sure the removal of your windows for proper flashing is in the contract. I know A LOT of people and all my other contractors received more jobs through my recommendations. I know currently four people who are looking for a recommendation for siding, yet I can't recommend TGR Construction.

I recently discovered water in my crawl space and contacted Ability Plus Drainage after finding…read morethem online. Within two days, they sent an inspector to assess the situation. He developed a clear plan to install a French drain to route the water to the existing drain leading out to the street, or, if that wasn't possible, to install a sump pump. The crew arrived as scheduled and worked extremely hard to resolve the issue. They were able to tie into the existing drain, which ultimately saved me $1,800. Everyone I dealt with was professional, courteous, and took great care to keep my home as clean as possible--especially impressive considering most of the work was done through a 4' x 4' closet floor opening located at a far end of the house. I highly recommend Ability Plus Drainage for any water-related problems you may be experiencing in your home. Sincerely, Dennis Cloutier Forest Grove, OR
