***Never consider Times Construction Company and owner for home improving and developing…read moreprojects**** In August 2024, my spouse made an agreement with the owner of this company, Haroon Mohammad, to carry out two renovation and construction projects at our home simultaneously. These projects were supposed to be completed within a maximum of one month. My spouse repeatedly asked the owner of this company to provide the final version of the contract for signature, but Mohammad kept delaying and avoiding this request with various excuses. According to the agreement, we were supposed to pay 30% of the contract amount at the start of the projects, and the remaining amount upon their completion. Unfortunately, due to an unfounded and mistaken trust in Mohammad, my spouse ended up paying him the full amount within a month -- even though, after seven months, the projects are still not finished and Mohammad is no longer answering our calls. He even failed to pay his workers, and we had to provide fruit, sweets, food, and lunch daily to Mohammad's workers for two months. Although my spouse has hired a skilled legal attorney and this matter is being pursued through the legal system, the stress and mental toll he has endured during this time is irreparable. Therefore, if you are considering a renovation or construction project in your home (painting, roofing, remodeling, finishing basement, retaining wall, etc.) , I strongly advise you not to consider this company or its owner. The most dishonest, incompetent, and disgraceful qualities a person can have are embodied in the character of this company's owner.

I would give this company a zero rating. We hired Haroon to paint our basement on 8/16/2024. As of…read moretoday 9/5/2024 the job is not finished. They were very sloppy got paint speckle's on my entire new floor and baseboards. Paint on my stairs leading to the outside and even on my driveway. Left the room with dust everywhere and did not move my furniture back as he said they do. Did not clean or prime the walls before painting them. I had a dust web on one wall corner and it was still there when they said they were finished painting. You can see roller marks on my ceiling and missed panting marks. Every appointment we had with him he either was hours late or did not show up. No phone calls and no shows. We have cameras in our house and they were standing on my $10,000 pool table and my speakers to paint. When I confronted both Haroon and the supervisor Gino all they said was "well was there any damage". After several attempts and missed appointments Haroon agreed to come back. Of course he was 8 hours late and all he said after I pointed out the horrible painting job is that he want to get past all of this and would repaint. 2 more appointments set up with him and no show and no calls. After 2 phones calls of calling the company Times Construction I left a message that I will be going to small claims court about this the supervisor Gino called and assured me that he will get this corrected or refund my money. Same scenario no show for appointments although he did call one time and said that the person that was to come got kick out of the place that she/he lived in and they could not make it. Wanted to set up another appointment on a day that my husband was having surgery. I explained I would need to call back to give them the time. Well I called gave the Ok to come and again no show no call. On top of all of this we have a TV on the wall and Haroon said that they are painting around it because no one can see behind the TV. What a joke. My husband took the TV off of the wall and told them to be careful as it was leaning against our couch. Haroon knocks the TV over and tells my sister " oh well they need a new TV anyways". They also only painted half of the room because they said that paneling cannot be painted. When we researched this and confronted him about it he said too much work. Our contract was for him to paint the paneling. I am now going to take them to small claims court. Beware!

They contacted me promptly, sent a crew quickly. The crew explained their recommended approach in detail, and the schedulers followed up with me while the job was in process. We were kept in the loop the whole time. Easy and well-coordinated followup visits to check the progress of drying things out, and retrieve their equipment. Some minor snafus with post-project email communication- sounded like a system email problem- but it was resolved in time, and didn't impact the quality of the work. Strong recommend.

When we tried to move things forward with the company, the representative blatantly lied about previous conversations and requested next steps. We are now shifting to have other companies bid on this project, meanwhile our roof is leaking and we have no drywall and insulation in our living room.

We bid to several builders , and John was the most responsive and professional by far . From start to finish he was very easy to work with, responsive, and has a foreman named Abe who is awesome . He was very transparent on things I wanted that he thought either wouldn't look great (he was right !) or would compromise other parts of the house . He even had the crew build a small house for our kids under the basement stairs which they are obsessed with . Timeline was almost spot on to what he had originally told us .

I waited several weeks before writing this review because I wanted to give the company an…read moreopportunity to make things right. Unfortunately, after being ignored for weeks, I've given up hope that they will. They came to our unit to perform mitigation work after water damage caused by an upstairs neighbor. When they finished and left, we discovered that the cover for our ceiling fan junction box and one of our light fixtures were missing. I contacted them within an hour of them leaving, and initially they were responsive. However, they repeatedly sent me photos of an entirely different light fixture in a different room of our home (our kitchen instead of our living room) and insisted they hadn't removed anything. I explained multiple times that they were looking at the wrong room, and I even sent my own photos, but they continued to insist they were correct. Eventually, communication stopped. The supervisor, Aldo, called me once, but I wasn't able to answer immediately. I returned his call and sent a text within an hour, but I never received a response. Despite promising that the light would be replaced, I've been completely ignored ever since. We are now left without a light fixture and have to purchase a replacement ourselves and pay someone to install it. The lack of accountability and follow-through has been extremely disappointing. I understand mistakes happen, but ignoring a customer instead of resolving the issue is unacceptable.

There were structural issues with the bathroom's foundation and plumbing, which he and his team took care of and finished up the remodel exactly how we had asked him to. He took special care to ensure that the job site was cordoned off from the rest of the house and kept clutter and mess to minimum. We were extremely satisfied with the job and look forward to working with Josh and team in future projects.

Based on a 1-1 visit with the owner (Brad) and follow up conversations, I am planning to utilize…read moreBDK for several small and medium sized home projects that will include carpentry work and tile installation, as well as restoring my deck and a few other things. So, my story is that I am a single home owner and I have a lot of little to-do's and I want 1 single source as my go-to. I was skeptical that BDK would actually want to take on my small jobs and to my surprise, Brad and I were able to work out a pricing and work arrangement that will allow me to get things done on my budget and timeline. I am impressed with Brad and his business acumen, and while I have not had any work done yet, I trust that all will go well and that I will update my review to 5 stars. You know, with all the online resources it is actually harder than ever to find a contractor who is willing to do little things. I have emailed and talked to a half dozen contractors who want to charge a lot for minimal jobs. Finding a contractor of quality whom I can trust is a big undertaking, so I feel so good going into this relationship with BDK.
