In mid-July 2024, we met with Chris Hollon (owner) regarding a deck and patio replacement, two…read moreoutdoor fireplaces, and a roof over part of the deck. He quoted a price lower than competitors and claimed the job could be done by Halloween. I work in construction and know this was unrealistic since we hadn't signed a contract or picked out materials yet. On August 7, we signed the contract and paid a 1/3 deposit, with 4 equal payments to follow. Shortly after, we met on-site again. Chris dismissed the Halloween timeline (his own estimate) but said crews would be available and it could be done by Thanksgiving. By September, we selected stone, composite, and rail types and sent them to Chris. Work didn't begin until early October, after repeated, unanswered calls to Chris and Todd Payne (general manager). The patio was poured around October 21. In November, no work occurred. Chris and Todd blamed a truss plant fire and LVL beam shortages. Todd repeatedly asked me about the composite color--despite it already being sent. Framing started the first week of December. On day one, Todd called to ask if I was home to give the framer engineered drawings--not something I should need to handle. During framing, Chris contacted me more than ever--not about progress, but to upsell a new roof with a "family discount." I declined. Right before the holidays, Chris asked for the second payment early and promised major progress while we were out of town. We declined since less than half the phase was complete. While away, he walked back his claim. When we returned, the only new work was the shingled deck roof. A dump trailer had been left in our driveway the entire time. When I asked for it to be removed, Todd said it had a flat tire and asked me to inflate it, which I did just to get rid of it. January and February saw minimal progress. Fireplaces and rough electrical were completed late January. Weather caused some delays, but 4 months in and we still had no decking or rails. Decking started March 18--3 months after Chris said it would be done. The sub did quality work but showed up late and left early. Work picked up in March and April, and I began making partial payments as progress resumed. My wife started texting Chris frequently to get things moving. Eventually, he snapped, replying to her: "this is harassment" and "I don't need your attitude." He never apologized. Later, when Chris came on-site, I confronted him. He admitted he underbid the project and begged us not to share what we paid. He insisted he never said we could paint the patio ceiling (even though he had) and argued over it until I asked him to stop. I gave him color swatches for trim and ceiling stain--he lost them and asked again. We resent them, and weeks later Todd asked for the colors again. By late April, painting, stonework, gutters, trim, and patio ceiling were complete. Rust stains on the patio--caused by tools left out all winter--were removed. Chris requested another payment; I declined until full completion. The project was finally completed May 8, 2025, and we paid in full on May 9--8 months after work started. I do not recommend this contractor. Unprofessional, rude, and unreliable. Chris behaves more like a buddy than a contractor--talking about microdosing mushrooms and politics instead of job progress. After hiring him, I read online reviews. I was surprised by the positives but also shocked by how negatively the company responded to criticism--calling one customer "delusional" and dismissing others with "you can't make everyone happy." Everything here is factual and can be supported with the contract, photos, and saved texts

In February 2024, We paid Chris Hollan Construction $61,250 (was suppose to be $58,000) for 2…read morecovered porches and a concrete pad for us to build a shed on. As of today we are owed a refund of $3,250 (which has been promised to be delivered 3 different times now with no shows). We tried to close the permit to find that the front porch needed to be approved thru Zoning and was not. It failed inspection due to no gutter on addition, oversized from original plans, stairs are not even, which has resulted in my husband falling down them. The original gutter on my home was cut and seemed so any future damage from this will not be covered by insurance or warranty. The roof was to be rubber due to the pitch but it's shingled (and doesn't match the original roofs shingle) and there is nothing between the shingles and the plywood which voids any warranty there also. They created a trip hazard going up to the porch with the concrete pad they placed for new porch. And the front porch roof is crooked! They severed my electrical wire that ran out to a post in my front yard, in which they taped it back together and then concreted over it and told us the light doesn't work for reasons not controlled by them. The back porch was enlarged after plans where drawn up. The new design doesn't have plans approved by an Engineer. No electrical permits were pulled. The stairs are again uneven. There are concerns how the roof is attached to my home. The back patio roof should have a rubber roof also but it's shingled with no barrier between shingles and plywood like the front porch. They applied a thin piece of flashing to divert water in which the inspector for Boone County laughed when he seen! I opted for engineered wood for the longevity and the colors do not match. When they ran the electric to my inside switch they left large holes in wall and just put the switch cover back up like we would notice. The 8x10 concrete pad they installed for us, was probably 8x10 with the forms but we had to add bricks to the back of the pad because it wasn't correct once they removed the wood forms. Anytime we contact Chris Hollan Construction we get empty promises but no action. AVOID them at all costs!!! We have started to seek a new contractor to see how much additional we will have to now pay to get these porches to code. I would understand this more if we had a bunch of friends build this on weekend for beer money! But $58,000 there is no excuse for such crap work and no response from owner. The manager just feeds you a line to make it seem like something will be done. But nothing happens. The over payment was discovered in October when they tried to get a final payment. Very very poor communication. I will gladly show anyone the list of problems from Boone County over this extremely expensive seedy half @$$ job that was done

Rob is kind and conscientious, fixing issues that was to be expected with any remodeling project, especially one the size of ours so now we can truly enjoy our beautifully remodeled home.

I first reached out to Alan Gerbus on December 2nd, 2021. As of tomorrow, we have been in our new…read morehome for 8 weeks. Alan was one of of the many builders I contacted. Over the past two years he and his employees have helped us find a lot, design and build our home. There have been ups and downs, but the one constant was the fact that Gerbus cares about their clients, and about building amazing homes. Every single step of the way we were treated like we were valued. Whenever anything unexpected came up, there was Alan with a smile and an answer. Gerbus always took the high road, and did what was right. After 2 years of this crazy process I would gladly go through it all again - but only with Gerbus. But how to be sure yourself? Simple - ask any subcontractor that works with them. They will have nothing but praise because they are treated right by Gerbus. Gerbus is respected - and that is the ideal situation if you want a well built home. I would love to balance this review by listing negatives, but honestly I've yet to find them. Yes, not every contractor was a good choice (especially those I hired against the advice of Gerbus) but Gerbus made it right every single time. We now consider these people friends of the family. The entire team (specifically Alan, Nate, Nick, Phil, Shelley and more!) has our thanks, and an open invitation to dinner!

I knew when I met Calvin that I was going to go with him as long as his pricing was reasonable. He was very courteous when he came to give me a quote. He seemed super honest and I appreciated that he told me he wanted to make me happy and would stand behind his work. Calvin managed the projects and ordered the materials. He stopped by multiple times before and during the work. He also showed that he cared for his people. He wanted to make sure they got paid Friday afternoon. He asked if I was OK if his brother did the step repair job the next day. His brother busted his tail. I spoke to his brother several times. They had a family business that his dad had started and had been working for his dad since he was young. He had a ton of knowledge. Likewise Calvin did. They worked on Wednesday and Friday since Thursday was a washout. Calvin let me know that Thursday would be skipped because rain would affect the quality. On Saturday when his brother did the step his "clean-up" person Georgia came and pulled the boards up and meticulously patched up the grass. She also cleaned the driveway. We kept cars off the driveway for over 7 days as Calvin recommended and didn't walk on it for 5. We love our driveway and I would highly recommend his company aka CHCEC Construction. Calvin was a fantastic communicator throughout the process and got me scheduled quicker then expected since someone cancelled for vacation. Adrian told me he wanted my driveway to make a splash in our neighborhood. He "framed" each square. I have a wide 3 car garage driveway. It looks awesome. Many of my neighbors commented positively. I am attaching pictures of before and after. I am also super happy how Adrian fixed my step. It was cracked and crumbling. He cut out the cracked part and fixed it perfectly. This has driven me crazy for over 25 years when Zaring home builders promised to fix it in our first year and did a crappy job and others later did a crappy job. This was finally done the way it should have been. BTW Calvin's quote was the lowest!
