We contracted with Proper Work to build a two-story addition to our home in last year. This was a…read moremajor, 8-month project, beginning in April and ending in December 2022. Engaging Joey Edwards and his company, Proper Work, to build our addition was probably the best real estate decision we have ever made. Joey Edwards and his crew were innovative, superbly coordinated, and very conscious of staying within our original estimate. Joey assisted and advised us with every detail along the way and executed some ideas that we hadn't thought of in the beginning, like our patio and French doors. The project included a new woodstove, hardwood flooring, a finished basement, and painting. Joey put us in touch with our excellent woodstove company--a great recommendation. (I have reviewed this company, Safe and Warm, elsewhere on Yelp.) Joey also helped with the labyrinth of city codes and inspections. I think we had a total of 12 (?) inspections; maybe more. Our home is a 140-year-old miner's cottage in a historic district, so we also needed to comply with historic preservation regulations and remain respectful of its historical character. Joey and his crew were in our home for 8 months, but all went smoothly. Our dogs and cats even came to look forward having the crew here and they were all great with the animals. The stairwell rail had to be low enough to prevent cats explorating through the railing and the crew took that into consideration. The cats figured a way around it, but no fault of Proper Work--that is just the nature of cats. Our addition has increased the value and comfort of our home exponentially. We had to make the decision to expand our home or move elsewhere, and we clearly made the right decision, with the help of Proper Work.

Proper Work and its owner, Joey Edwards, have been rehabbing our Twin Lakes property (3 houses, 3…read moreoutbuildings and a barn) and the work is absolutely outstanding. Along with carpenters Adam Christopher and Mark, the team has worked diligently to preserve the historic integrity and structural stability of the buildings, always going above and beyond expectations. I can recommend this company without reservation.

We had some metal siding installed. First, they wanted to text the quote, that they don't email…read more Um, no. Suddenly an emailed quote appeared. Hmmm. They insisted on a contract. Surprisingly good, and bad. There were errors, our names had been changed, and such - but we worked it all out eventually. A wonderful coincidence was they use the same manufacturer that we would have, had we done the work ourselves. The material was exactly what we asked for. The attention to detail, particularly the trim, was impeccable. The planning around impending weather could not have been more perfect. The job was finished when they predicted it would be - starting early each day and staying late. All of them were very polite and mannerly. Phone calls were returned by texts, which we thought was odd. We had to ask that small pieces be picked up, but I'm finding more items than I expected - candy wrappers (Who does that?), used gum (Ewww. How about asking for a trash can?), cigarette butts (GASP - we're NON-smokers !), small metal pieces from cutting the sheets, and hardware. We've made several passes all the way around the house, finding more and more and more and more. If we were to need additional projects done, we'd certainly use them again - BUUUUT absolutely making sure to insist, and putting it in the contract - that all of the detritus was to be collected. Three- and one-half stars is more accurate, but not an option. Seeing the other reviews - one of them is the son of the owner. Reviewing your own business????

He also is a great communicator, is pro-active, goes the extra mile, and does what he says he will do! We had many unexpected issues pop up in our kitchen and bath re-model as our condo is in a very old building PLUS we were on a tight timeline as we had folks coming to stay at our condo and Matt somehow managed to work thru it all and meet our deadline. (He may have gained a few gray hairs but he did it!!) We live in Charleston, SC - so we were 2000+ miles away while the renovation was going on and had complete confidence in his work. He was always available to anwser questions and always was so professional and easy to talk to. We cannot recommend Matt enough! We wish we could replicate him here in SC!!!

We recently had a wonderful experience with Greg and Blue River Contracting. We hired BRC to…read morecompletely remodel our master bathroom. We could not be happier with our decision. Greg (the company owner) is responsive, professional, and experienced. Greg has great vision and helped guide us through the whole process. He answers his phone, responds to text messages, and communicates clearly. We felt comfortable with having Greg in our house for three weeks and would undoubtedly do business with his company again. Greg completed our project in three weeks which we thought was reasonable for an entire master bath remodel. This included demolition down to the framing. Greg stayed within scope of the project and hired good help when needed. We really enjoyed that we did not need to direct the help (plumber, electrician, or tile guy) Greg made sure that he fully understood what we wanted and made sure it all happened. Greg was able to show us tile designs and even draw patterns on paper to ensure we would get what we wanted. Greg does very high quality work. The final product of our bathroom is absolutely stunning. I still walk in there each day and smile when I look around. His attention to detail right down to the trim is exceptional. We have already had several guests at the house and everyone is stunned when they walk in our new bathroom. Greg's standards are very high. If there was ever something that he felt needed adjustment, he would fix it. Nothing went overlooked or undone. The bottom line is that it's hard to find good contractors in Summit County that will stick to a schedule and timeline. Greg stuck to a schedule and actually tried his best to fit it around our work schedules while still getting the bathroom finished by our deadline. We will be using Greg again for more projects in the future.

The Administration representative in the office was argumentative, unwilling to remedy a problem, and continually was aggressive, interprerupting, refused to listen and was very disrespectful. 2) The product they installed used materials that did not secure the fence in a manner that upheld to windy conditions; thin posts barely in the ground. The 'gate' they installed was unstable and difficult to maneuver (open/close). 3) They require upfront fees for yearly usage vs project completion billing/rental invoicing. Bottom line: questionable product, unreliable business practices, sanctimonious administration and never solved the problem.
