I've used Chris over the last couple years on some smaller projects…read more Things seemed to be okay so I decided to use him on a very BIG project in my business. This turned out to be a very BIG mistake. TWICE. I hired him to do a buildout in my spa for an expansion and space that I was taking over, I was in the midst of negotiating a new lease for the new space. Chris swung by the space and got some measurements. He then got a blueprint of the floor plans to provide to the building owner as requested. Chris then told me that he needed a deposit to "save a spot" on his schedule for my buildout. He told me that the deposit was $10,000 dollars which would all be spent on the initial order of SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS. I trusted him because I had worked with him in the past. So I went ahead and gave him the $10,000 to "reserve my spot" on his schedule against my better judgment. He reassured me again that this $10,000 was specifically for him to purchase the initial materials needed. The lease negotiation on this new space was abruptly put on hold based on some unforeseen issues which were completely out of our control. So explained in length to Chris what was happening and we requested our $10,000 deposit be given back. But we were willing to pay him for his time spent measuring and for the floor plans provided. He then told me and my husband that we were only getting $3,000 dollars back. He was KEEPING $7,000! We were completely blindsided by this. We asked him how in the world he could justify keeping our hard earned money and so he supplied us with an outrageous invoice. Charging hundreds for getting his quote together. Charging us for text messages and phone calls. I thought I was being pranked when he sent this invoice over to us. We were forced to finally threaten legal action if he didn't return our $10,000 minus his fee for giving us the estimate and floor plans.... And that's when he admitted that he used my money intended for "supplies" TO PAY OFF HIS LOWES CREDIT CARD! Fast forward about a month and a half--Chris still owed us thousands of our dollars for the deposit that he took from us and spent paying off his credit card debt. We made our SECOND huge mistake. We completed the lease agreement for the new space and finally had the keys and were ready for the build. This buildout consisted of 6 rooms and a hallway connecting the space I had to the space I was expanding into.. not a terribly big project. I made a horrible decision in haste and because he was still holding onto thousands of my dollars, and decided to let him do the buildout since he already had the plans and my money. He told me that this job would take about 4 weeks, 6 AT THE MOST. And of course he wanted me to start paying him immediately for more supplies plus a weekly check for his labor. The entire experience was a living nightmare. He hired one of my massage students, who has some construction experience, to do 90% of this job. THIS IS NOT WHO I HIRED. The only time any work was getting done was before and after my student finished class and internship. This student is a full time student, so the work he could do in this space was extremely limited. Chris would pop in here and there and then leave pretty quickly. We went days without anyone seeing him. We have cameras in our businesses so we can see as people come and go. He was also on camera talking "crap" about me TO MY STAFF as I'm paying him to do this job. I couldn't believe it. They were also pretty offended and came to tell me about what was going on. Chris would ghost mine or my husband's phone calls, texts and questions regarding when he would be coming in or what the time frame of completion was at this point. It was so obvious to everyone that something was very wrong, even to the student of mine that was stuck doing all the work. But Chris had so much of my money at this point I didn't have a choice but to be patient and make him finish despite how long it was going to take. He had over $20,000 just a couple weeks in. After 11 grueling weeks Chris claimed to be "done." He wanted his final check which we had refused to give him until completion, despite his demand to get it all before the job was even close to being done. My floors were suppose to be sanded down to the original concrete and glossed over with a high shine epoxy. But instead they are covered in old blue paint, yellow paint and black overspray from him painting my ceilings. I spent over $32,000 dollars with Chris and was left with an undone and unsafe space. Crooked encased openings. Non working plugs and lights. Exposed wires everywhere. He changed sizes of rooms w/out asking!! I had to hire another construction company to come repair what Chris did and finish the project. DO NOT USE CMB. DO NOT GIVE HIM MONEY UP FRONT. BEWARE. RUN!!! *We have every text, email, photos, video and documents of conversations had confirming every single bit of this!*

DO NOT USE! He will gladly take your money but it is impossible to get him to finish a job. And the…read morework he does is half the quality.

Well, unlike Ernest W, we had a great experience with Brandon and Jamie from Smith County…read moreContracting. They were always here when they said they would be. Showed up early and even worked late as needed in this very hot September weather in Texas. Totally delivered on everything they promised and we did too. We treated them to lunch 3 days and topped it off with a bonus 30-pack of beer each after the job was completed. Even encouraged them to swim in the pool afterwards. I believe in rewarding people for their hard work. They also had the best price for the best value from the 3 different quotes we got. Brandon says he loves what he does and looks forward to doing it every day. He even routered the edge of the boards right next to the pool, the steps, and the rails to give everything a nice smooth look and feel. I would highly recommend Smith County Contracting for any and all of your construction and building needs!

I want to apologize for anyone who read my previous review of this business and hired them. They…read moredid do a good job on first small project but since then hired them again and it has been a battle from start. Paid 1/2 up front so could buy materials, this was on Tuesday. Project was paint, make repairs, build new steps, and other smaller things to my house. Got money on Tuesday didn't come back till the next Monday with no supplies. Said since his business was 1 1/2 hour away from my house that would cut into working time. Remember he worked for me before at same place but now 3 hours driving time is factor in work time and purchasing supplies time. He rarely showed up before 11 am and left by 3 pm. He had to ask for more advance money because spent my money on truck repairs and so couldn't buy any paint. Already 2 weeks in so had to trust him or would loose $7000 and work barely done. The whole project was only supposed to be two weeks. Kept moving from one area to another never quite finishing an area. When got to painting chimney told us rotten. We agreed to additional $2800 to repair, replace, and make safe. Put it in writing too. His ideal of safe was to use particle board and pressed wood. When chimney man came to check told us would probably catch fire. When confronted him he was rude and argumentative so we asked him to finish what we had paid for and leave. We had luckily on paid $1400 on chimney so not out full amount of extra project but had already paid full amount in house repair. 5 days later came back to do this but only fixed couple things and left. We now have to pay someone to finish what we paid him for originally let alone the mess with chimney being unsafe. We have everything written out but can't afford to pursue in court because having to finish his leftovers. So beware of this business He is now harassing me with text messages.
