I called to get information on building a new staircase for my old St. Louis house. The woman from…read moreSt. Louis Stair & Wood Works gave me SO MUCH information on the pros and mostly cons on why this (likely) may be a difficult process for me. She explained the different parts of a staircase and how the rise and run and addition of winders to my stair will affect the entire workings and may not be feasible in my space constraints. She even referred me to another company that could do it, but mostly she said she wanted me to have information so when I spoke with other contractors about it, I would have a basic idea of what was going on. Fabulous service!

About 16 years ago, Big John's Remodeling did a great job finishing my basement. I was impressed…read moreby the suggestions John made and the plan he put together, since I really wasn't sure how to go about this. His plan was much better and less expensive than the other bids/plans I had received. So this year, when I decided to remodel my bathroom, I called Big John's again. They just finished remodeling my bathroom, and they did an excellent job. From the estimate to the finish, everything went very well. John's workers took pride in their work and were always measuring and leveling to make sure everything was perfect. They were very respectful and friendly and they cleaned up after each day. When they finished, they assured me that they guarantee their work. This is a dependable, honest business that I highly recommend.

After a successful and responsive refinishing project I had high hopes for painting of my interior…read morehome. All started well enough, and we got things started. I was under the impression that these were direct employees of his, his crew. Basically he was acting as a general contractor that hired another company or hired some people looking for work. Not really sure here. I realize I made some changes, but they were clear and written in a revised proposal. I didn't want the doors painted, then I got a phone call that they were painted. Sure, he didn't charge me for this, but that is proper after all. I didn't want the trim painted, and paid for that, because I missed it in the proposal. My fault. They also painted the hardware for opening/closing the windows, those were metal and need the proper paint, I did have them take that off. The house didn't have flooring in, so I was asked about drop cloths, I said use them but don't worry too much about a few paint splatters. However, I did indicate that I wasn't removing the slate flooring and to be careful. Here is a big fail, many paint spots. He tried to have them clean it up. Now the floor is sticky, you can here the soles of your shoes and feel it too. He tried cleaning that up, when it wasn't done, he offered to do it again. I really felt he had done enough. I'm still trying to find a way to clean this up, because it's sticky any dust or what not sticks to it. It's really upsetting, as I loved this detail. I will look to bring in some professionals and see what this will set me back. There's also spots on the bathroom floors, which were also said that I wasn't removing. And those doors that were painted, they weren't dry and were closed, now that paint has popped off, so I have to touch that up, or maybe just start replacing doors. I realize also this review is a year since the work was done, I was in the middle of doing the rest of the work this last year. I almost considered them for doing the kitchen rehab. I really feel I dodged a bullet there. Noah, is a nice man, I think his intentions are good. However, the whole interior project was a mess, left me very frustrated, and I have projects left to do because of it. I don't think he checked up on the work as it was being done, and I don't think he looked at it after until I contacted him. Paint shouldn't have been on that slate, nor should you stick to your floor. I also had to point on paint spots on light fixtures, that should've been cleaned. Just no.

I was referred to Joe for some attic work that needed to be completed before my new insulation was…read moreinstalled. Initially, he was good to work with, and I was planning to hire him for several additional projects around my home. Unfortunately, my experience changed after that. When he came back out to look at the additional work, he quoted me nearly double what he had originally discussed and gave the impression that he wasn't interested in taking on the job. He eventually completed the work I hired him for, but when the insulation company arrived, we immediately discovered that part of the job I had already paid for had not been completed. As a result, the insulation crew and I had to finish the remaining work ourselves before the insulation removal could even begin. That was extremely frustrating, especially since I had hired and paid someone to ensure everything was ready beforehand. Based on my experience, I won't be hiring Joe again, and I can't recommend his services to others. I expected the work to be completed correctly the first time, and unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
