This is my first time ever using or reviewing contractors, and I did not know what to expect - and thought it would take forever, cost a billion dollars, and leave a massive mess based on previous experiences with contractors working around me.
Today is Monday (12/21/2020). Friday night around 9PM (12/18/2020) I tried to find someone to do some construction on an app, and immediately got a text from Payton Contracting, asking me if I was available for an estimate the following morning (not at the crack of dawn either, which was nice).
John arrived Saturday morning, and quickly looked at the job and gave me an extremely reasonable quote, which made my day - I didn't have a lot of notice about this work, and it was extremely important it get done. Also, I had to replace my couch as part of this project, and a new couch was scheduled to arrive on the 24th, so I planned to cover it and hope for the best.
But they were able to schedule me Monday! And once again, I did not have to wake up to 6AM hammering - also I work at home. John and his guys were in around 11AM and out before 1PM, knocking down an entire interior wall and then sweeping and mopping up the dust! (They also carried in boxes from outside, one hidden under the snow.)
Aside from the now-absent unwanted wall, it's like they were never here. And though I wouldn't have minded, no one disrupted my work at all and I barely knew they were here while they were working.
When I checked Yelp, I couldn't find a listing, and I figured other people were like me in that they weren't experienced with this stuff. It was also pretty evident I am not an experienced hirer of construction companies, but the price was SO reasonable and I went from wondering Friday night how I'd ever manage to get this done to having it all finished with no trace of dust on Monday morning.
This company is so efficient and reasonable and great to work with and fast in scheduling and executing. I strongly recommend Payton Construction. Like, getting rid of this cursed wall is a Christmas miracle for me. read more
