We've gone through more contractors than I can count in the last few years while we rehab & renovate our home in Vegas. The majority of such contractors left us with shitty, unfinished work that they never returned to make right.....so Josh has been a breath of fresh air! He is the nicest, MOST TRUE-TO-WORD, PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, PUNCTUAL, THOROUGH, RESPONSIVE contractor that we have come across - I wish we had found him sooner!
If you've been looking for a contractor, you know how extremely difficult it is to find a knowledgeable, experienced contractor that does EXACTLY what he says he'll do, while giving complete attention to you/your project (unlike sooooooo many contractors who will not show up, or adjust your project schedule to make it work for them while they juggle too much) AND respecting your property (majority of them would leave their lunch trash and/or cigarette butts laying around - like really?! WTH?!?! this is OUR HOME - respect it & pick up after yourselves!!!). It's amazing how many contractors will take their time to come out for a bid, then never respond after that or bother to send the quote - that's not Josh. Josh followed up timely not only with the itemized quote, but also to find out if we had any questions (I ask A LOT of questions, ALL THE TIME) and if he didn't have the answers immediately for us, he got back to us quickly with the answers, thoroughly explaining the process. My husband has a construction background & is accustomed to reading architectural and engineering plans and agrees that Josh definitely knows his stuff!
We already had our architectural and engineering plans to build our balcony and had also already pulled the permits ourselves when we contacted Josh for a quote (we had a few quotes at the time). Josh's price was actually the highest bid we had received, but we didn't have confidence in the level of knowledge or professionalism of the other contractors. We had purposely halted work of our new half-done pool and installation of the pool decking to get the balcony built to avoid any construction debris damaging the decking, pool, and equipment, therefore time was of the essence. Josh worked with us on the itemized quote, we opted to eliminate some aspects of the project; we agreed on the final price, signed the final Scope of Work, and gave a deposit.
We were told the project would take about a month. The dumpster arrived the next day and Josh and a crew showed up that day after that. Josh truly managed the various crews and all aspects of the project, being sure our property was respected & left as clean as it could be; he was there repeatedly to check on the progress & quality of work,and he routinely provided us with status updates and progress pictures in our absence. As each phase of work started, we paid a deposit paying the balance when we walked and approved completion of such phase; Josh's itemized Scope of Work was updated electronically & immediately before he even left the property. There was one delay due to inspector schedules, however the project was still completed in less than one month, and we LOVE it! We couldn't be happier with quality of the work or craftsmanship, and the fact that such is backed by a warranty.
Selecting Josh for our project was one of the best decisions we've made, and we're already working with him on a price for our next home remodeling project. I HIGHLY recommend Josh / Sparks Contracting - you won't regret choosing them for your project! read more
