He repeatedly threatened to walk off the job when things didn't go his way, and eventually did--leaving the project unfinished halfway through construction. He even tried to discredit me by claiming I was yelling at his crew, despite the fact that I have video and audio recordings of him yelling and using profanity at me while I maintained politeness. I was left scrambling with tenants displaced in a hotel while he abandoned the work. Save yourself the stress and money--look elsewhere.

Their work did not disappoint! The designer was so helpful in transplanting my vision into a beautiful design plan within my budget. The workmanship is excellent and the workmen that did the instillation and painting were professional, diligent, and friendly. Everyone at Stratagem from the owner, Mitch, to each person that works for him is helpful, thoughtful, and committed to doing good work. Having worked with them twice, I can confidently say that they are a delightful company to work with their work delivers beautiful results.

They built two beautiful bathrooms and, crucially, managed the project such that we could sit in the spectator seat comfortably. We live in a high-rise, and, for example, they communicated with the HOA so we didn't have to (insurance, freight elevator, loading dock, etc). When a minor issue surfaced years later Stratagem fixed it without questions asked. Great experience overall, haven't had another re-modeling project done in such a professional and (to us) easy way.

I'll be honest--the prep phase and coordination were frustrating at times. The project experienced some delays, some of which were understandable and out of their control due to weather, while others felt like they could have been avoided with better scheduling and time management. Communication and coordination during that phase could definitely have been smoother. That said, once the work got underway, the team was professional, efficient, and did an amazing job. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really showed, and the finished rooftop looks fantastic. The Trex material completely transformed the space, and we're very pleased with how everything turned out. Despite some bumps along the way, the end result was absolutely worth it. I would recommend Estes Porch Builders based on the quality of their work and the final product.
