We suffered incredible financial loss , damage to our home and were subjected to dangers they created. We have photographic evidence as well as the statements, written statements ,from those professionals who inspected the damage, imposed by Firehouse construction. We appealed to the owner of this company, BRYAN in many ways for him to make it right, and we were met with a deaf ear and a blind eye. In fact, he never came back to see the disaster his part time helpers inflicted after all that damage was done, and he got all that money, and we appealed to Bryan to fix our damaged roof and all the rest and he simply took the $$$ CASH and failed to even come and see the damage . Might I add when speaking to us regarding the work he emphasize the fact but he was a widower and a volunteer in our local fire department posing as an upright individual. approach this business with CAUTION

CAUTION ADVISED !!! BEWARE The contractor lacks so much knowledge it's shocking . For starters…read morethey destroyed my roof and are completely unresponsive to repairing it after we made a substantial down payment, Typically , no one would show up to work ! The owner was very effective at collecting the down payment, In addition to ruining our roof they did an extremely subpar job on cleaning and staining the exterior of our home. If anyone did show to work at all it was about 5p.m. . The destruction and subpar work has been carefully documented by reputable contractors. I requested to the owner BRYAN to return my Down payment so I can get my roof fixed and finish up on the exterior of the home and fix the errors . He was unresponsive to return my money. I would advise EXTREME caution in dealing with this company.

We hired Juan about a month ago for a shower remodel. Overall, the work is ok, but definitely not…read moreprofessional quality and left a lot to be desired. The good: -competitively priced, one of the cheaper quotes we received -good quality materials: porcelain tile slabs -frequent communication -finished product seems to be functionally ok, for now -we had a toilet leak during the construction period, Juan reseated the toilet properly and fixed the leak promptly, this was much appreciated. The bad The work was overall sloppy, in many regards. First and foremost, after Juan installed the valve and plumbing, they caused a small leak into our living room below during water testing. This required them to open up the ceiling downstairs, dry it out, and patch up the drywall and repaint (see pictures below). This honestly freaked me out and increased my vigilance throughout the project. During shower door installation, they cracked one of the slabs requiring it to be replaced. This was fine, but the waterproofing patch job looked uneven and thin, but they did come out and re-coat it after I brought this up. The shower door hinges were poorly installed initially. The screws were not countersunk and sticking out; I even confirmed with the shower door manufacturer that this was not correct. We had a lot of back and forth about this; Juan eventually replaced the screws with ones that fit more properly. Wall edge at the end of the shower looks very uneven, and the caulking has cracked and the wall on the tub side even has a hole in it at the transition. On the last day, I asked them to replace the shower arm to raise our showerhead, as it was low; I purchased a gooseneck from Lowe's myself, but Juan initially told me "you can do it yourself" however because they already installed a standard shower arm. He did end up putting it in at the end but it was installed improperly; it was crooked, so I decided to replace it myself afterwards as I was already quite stressed with this project already and this was a simple fix. After taking the shower arm off, I found no teflon tape on the threads, but instead a thin layer of some kind of goo. I'm not a plumber, but teflon tape is generally recommended to seal the threads. I cleaned the threads off and installed the shower arm with properly applied teflon tape with a thin layer of pipe dope. At least the copper elbow in the wall felt solid. Overall, the wet area seems ok, we're not having any leaks (so far), and the shower is functional; however, I felt the project was rushed, communication, while frequent, was poor, and the end product is just sloppy. In the end I was told "I worry too much about everything." I'll post the pictures of the areas of concern and you can judge for yourself. We saved a few thousand dollars, but in hindsight, I wish I hired someone else and saved myself a lot of stress.

I was that impressed with his services. Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy review.

He then explained how to remediate the situation step by step, and was willing to answer any questions we might have. Truly appreciate his advice and honesty. Others could have made a mountain out of a molehill for what work was needed. We'll definitely keep him in mind for bigger projects!

I will continue to use for all jobs around my home, and have more painting and deck and stairs this summer to be redone. Thanks to a fantastic company :)
