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 spoke with Lance and he scheduled a site visit to inspect my parents house in Knoxville. After site visit, I received a cost estimate for repairing water damage to main bathroom floor and replacing old toilet. We discussed further details and proceeded with ordering the flooring, toilet, and bedit seat. During demolition, his crew noticed subfloor was also damaged (see pics). 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.

He had to remove the old railing, patch/stain/seal the flooring, and install the new railing. The quality of the work was great. Ben even handled some issues with the manufacturer of the railing (they hadn't shipped all of the parts, so Ben came back a couple days later, on a Saturday, to install the last piece). He estimated three days, finished in two (plus 15 minutes on Saturday). We'd gotten a quote from a general contractor to do the railing as part of a larger job, and they wanted almost as much just to demo the old railing as Ben asked for the entire job.

I'm an out-of-towner who purchased an investment property in Port Angeles about a year ago. In my…read moresituation, I had to rely 100% on a general contractor to take on a major rehab project without any supervision or spot-checks. Within a month and after two long trips from California, I almost gave up on the property because I called at least two-dozen companies, got stood up at least five times for meetings and could only get three to meet me in person; none of whom I felt had my best interests in mind. Just before I was about to put the property up for sale, I found Jason. Fast-forward to the here-and-now, Jason was everything I could have hoped for in a general contractor - and more. His communication was crisp and clear, with great follow-up and a proactive effort - which is KEY if you want to save money and get exactly what you want. His craftsmanship was outstanding, and he finished the project ahead of schedule. As an added bonus, Jason is so easy to communicate with and makes you feel like someone important. He has turned what I thought was going to be a money-losing experience into a great-performing investment property that I am so proud to be the owner of.

Jason worked totally independently and was able to bring the vision we had for our small bathroom to fruition.

But, the Powell Brothers show up on time with a more than fair in fact, generous quote. Not only did they fix my unit, but they gained my admiration and friendship. This is what the Powell Brothers bring to our community. The national chains are going to hijack your bank account for their shareholders.
