He came out, thoroughly inspected the areas of my home I was concerned about, and did some repairs. He also made recommendations for further repairs and pricing estimates. Nick was professional, dependable throughout our communication leading up to the visit, and he took his time to answer all of my questions. He guided me through areas of my crawlspace and attic, pointing out the ways my home was built and educating me on my home's foundation and structure. As a homeowner, this is important to me because I want to know my home well and care for it. Nick's fee was reasonable and I appreciated the decades of knowledge and experience he brought to the inspection. My mind is resting easier after Nick's visit, reassurance, and suggested plans for future repairs. In short: Quality work, available for questions, dependable, fair fee, knowledgeable, experienced. A++

If you are thinking of hiring Joseph for your remodel, you'd best do it soon, because he is going…read moreto be booked solid in the future. He just moved here from CALIF where he also had his own business, and it is clear from his work that he is a professional with a lot of experience. I moved to Jonesborough a year ago and have had a lot of heartburn with contractors of all sorts. Joseph was organized and professional from the get-go. He is the ONLY contractor who sent me his license and bonding information without me having to ask for it, and his itemized estimate was the most polished and explanatory that I have seen yet in this area. He also asked for an after-action report for feedback on his work. Who does that? I will definitely be hiring him again. He moved a door from one wall to another and closed off the pocket door opening. He matched the trim around the new door identically to the trim around the other doors- all hand-cut on site. Same with the baseboards, which were different in different rooms. He also patched a ceiling sag from water damage that was right up against custom kitchen cabinets. Two other contractors I had asked for an estimate told me that the cabinets would have to be torn out. Nope! Joseph fixed the sag, found a ceiling beam under the sag that had cracked and REPAIRED THAT TOO, and evened off the ceiling along the top of the cabinets perfectly. He even got that half-popcorn corrugated ceiling texture to match. What is more, he was very considerate of my time and of the house. He covered everything to prevent dust and dirt from migrating, enclosed my kitchen in a neat little tent (that I still had access to after hours so that I could cook) and cleaned up thoroughly after every day. I always knew when he would be here and he kept me abreast of any changes or questions. I actually learned a lot from him. He gave me free evaluations of the shower work that a tile company was doing in the house- to let me know the quality of the workmanship. He knows tile too, and was able to place the floor tile at the base of the new door to appropriately match the existing tile. Super quality work! What is more, he is trustworthy, and I felt comfortable giving him a house key so that he could come and go if I was not able to be there. The whole job was done in less time than we had projected and I am extremely happy with the results. He also hires great workers- Sterling is also highly skilled and meticulous, and Greyson is learning these skills as an apprentice. I'm ex-military and have pretty high standards. I also don't write reviews in general, unless someone is really good or really dangerous. Do-it-right lives up to its name- you can tell that it is Joseph's motto. He ensures that work is done to standard and in accordance with regulations. You won't be disappointed! 1 Dec 2023.

First off, Douglas Jeff Warren Jr of APEX Contractor Group likes to imply that people who leave him…read morebad reviews are lying, so I made sure we have a paper trail. I sued him in Campbell County court, case number 2024-CV-558, where I received a $10k judgement and court costs. If anybody reading this has also been hurt by this man, reach out to me here on Yelp, maybe I can help you. On September 7th, 2023, I paid him a 10k deposit on a 20k bathroom. This deposit is actually illegal; in TN code 62-6-510 it sets out that a deposit of more than 1/3 is illegal, a misdemeanor, and something that Jeff as a home improvement services provider should know. So we started the job out with a crime, and it frankly never got better. Jeff proceeded to continually push out the job start date, a few weeks to a month at a time, and what should have started in October eventually got a date out in January. Which also didn't happen. In fact, he never once set foot on my property again after he got my deposit. Eventually, on March 5th, 2024, six months after giving him ten thousand dollars and with absolutely no work done, I asked for my deposit back. He had me write up an essay on why I wanted that, for 'his bosses'. March 18th he tells me it takes 30 days to do a refund this large, because 'corporate'. This is also illegal, but I'm patient. April 15th he tells me the check is in the mail. UPS or FedEX. No tracking number was provided. Suprise the check did not arrive. April 27th I offer to go pick up the check in person, no reply on that. I mail a ten day deposit return request letter per TN code 39-14-154. He receives my certified letter on May 1st, 2024. May 2nd he texts saying the check was undeliverable, and 'they' want him to send 1000 from his own account as a 'test check', and this time he will send a tracking number. I inform him the amount is 10k and the 10 day clock provided by law ends on May 11th. I'm on vacation so I don't sue him immediately after the clock wraps up, maybe he will pay. May 13th he tells me he has the cashiers check and we can meet. We set a meeting for the 15th at 1pm. I leave my vacation early and drive several hours for this meeting, but he had no intention of showing. Instead, he texts telling me that because of the 10 day notice he now requires that I sign a document giving up my rights to talk about this or sue him, before he will give me back my deposit. This is also illegal, so I decline. I file the lawsuit same day, May 17th he gets served, which results in daily texts about how my money is totally for reals ready now, along with certified mail demanding I sign my rights away. I ignore these as we've got a court date already. June 3rd I am successful in Campbell County general sessions court. APEX Contracting Group was in administrative dissolution in TN from August till November of 2023 because he didn't do his paperwork, so he wasn't legally allowed to take on new work under this corporation. The court acknowledges this and I get a judgment against him personally, piercing the corporate veil. He tried to set up a payment plan for 500 a month, but I have no desire to give this man a two year loan, he is untrustworthy and unreliable. He still hasn't paid, so there is more escalation to come. He will protest that he's trying to pay me, but because there is a judgement all he has to do is walk down to the courthouse and pay in full. We never have to interact with each other ever again. And yet, its over three weeks since the judgement, and it remains unpaid.

I spent countless hours completing a website, social media, ads, analytics, and pushing his services on multiple platforms. This was close to 6 months of work trying to help him gain traction and promote his business. It was working, I have messages from check ins where he was pleased with everything. Then the messages stopped. He Is KNOWN now for not communicating after he initially receives payment for work he is supposed to do. I have seen so many complaints about him promising jobs and never following through. He lies about the issues he is facing so customers will understand how hard he has it with his crew. He doesn't know how to manage any aspect of his business and instead of accepting help or hiring someone to help him schedule, he just stops communicating. He WILL LEAVE you unfinished if you pay in advance. For the paid work I had him do, there were promises that there would be yearly check ups, and warranty - it will never happen, not even when I reached out with a problem. He swore he would come by that day and never showed. Jonah is unreliable, unprofessional, and comes across as a complete scam artist because of his lack of follow through and the way he stops communicating when he knows he has messed up. He WILL NOT finish the work, friends.

Lance and his crew just finished a kitchen addition and remodel project for us, and I cannot say…read moreenough about his integrity, commitment to quality, communication, fair pricing, and flexibility. First of all, Lance stepped in when our original contractor had a medical emergency and could no longer complete the project. Lance was doing the footer work on our project and agreed to pick up where our contractor left off (with the same budget and timeline), and without much time to get to know each other and talk through our plans, I think we all crossed our fingers and hoped it would work out. It did. Beautifully. Lance navigated with ease and grace numerous city permits and inspections and so many supplier issues and architect flubs, including an incorrect measurement that ultimately required us to add a partial bathroom renovation to his contract. He personally checked on every aspect of our project, correcting work when it didn't meet his high standards and making sure his workers and subcontractors met deadlines and his expectations for workmanship. Every time I brought him an idea along the way, Lance was up for it and helped me figure out how we could make it work (much to my husband's chagrin at times!). When we called, Lance always answered, and he stayed in communication with us when we weren't on site, sending texts and pictures of progress daily throughout the almost 5 months of our project. After a few months, I trusted Lance to make decisions in my stead, and that says a lot, considering my Type A personality and specific design sense. He respects old houses and understood my aesthetic vision as well as my desire to preserve original elements of my 1940 cottage wherever possible. The end result speaks for itself. We consider Lance a friend now, but I think my hound dog Sadie misses her friend Lance and his crew most of all. Luckily for her, we have already called him about our next project.

I was notified right away, they had to purchase subfloor and a change order was submitted. Work was completed within 2 days and my parents were very happy with the finished work. All billing was done electronically, and receipts were autogenerated. We have a few more mini projects in the house and will contact Lance again. 5 starts for Big Bear Construction! I highly recommend for all your restoration needs.
