I'll give the 2 stars for Tracy. She was polite on the phone and very prompt in her texting…read more I called to get a quote, and I sent photos and details of the job I was requesting, through text. I needed 3 hinge recesses done, as well as a striker plate recess. I was taking my left hand out-swing door, and making it a right hand in-swing door. A task for even the most basic diy'er. I simply didn't feel like getting out my wood chisel to do the job. So, I figured I'd hire someone who could, just as easily (with the right tools) have the job done in under 10 minutes. I wasn't needing patchwork done. I didn't need paint. No threshold to adjust. Nope. Just the recess for hinges and a striker plate. Child's Play. Bruce was the "Craftsman", who apparently, gave the quote for my job. $255.00 That's not a typo. That's actually the quote I received for this job. Stop laughing, guys! Seriously. While it is laughable, I want to know, who thinks THAT highly of themselves? Come on. Needless to say, they were not hired for this job, and I certainly won't be contacting them for any future jobs, either. Instead, I retrieved my chisel from the garage and had the door switched in under 30 minutes, on my own. I guess I hold the title of "Craftsman" now, too. I've included photos of our texts. It clearly shows the ridiculousness. Last thought: Do yourself a favor, and pick up a book, watch YouTube, or talk to your dad before hiring someone like this. Most home improvement jobs really are quite simple if you just take the time to educate yourself properly. Edit: After reading the response from the owner, I'd like for people reading this review to have some extra information. *1. This company never knew what others had estimated for the job, as it was never discussed with them. They did, however, go through my other reviews to find what another company was charging. That's the only way they'd know. 2. Coming in at $255 for this particular job does not make them the hero of this story. It makes them just as self- serving as the other company. 3. I'd never dismiss someone's experience or education in the home improvement field, as I, myself have over 15 years of it. (That shouldn't be relevant to receive fair pricing) To include, woodworking. Which is why the estimate was appalling. I'd never dream of trying to take advantage of those looking for help at a fair price. 4. Trying to shame someone for the way they review the business and the interaction? Disgusting business practice 101. "It's not our fault. You just don't understand." This concludes the edit, and the reason I've now deducted a star. *

Had to actually get back in touch with one of the contractors because he had forgotten to send me the estimate for the project.

I received proposals from $2700 to $13,000... a really broad range. I selected W & A for several reasons. (1) the provided the best value with a comprehensive proposal, (2) they provided excellent references. (3) and most importantly .... They were responsive, patient, flexible and willing to negotiate. Let me reiterate the importance of .....William and Anna's customer service through my evaluation process (1) Responsive : when I sent them email and yelp messaging, , they responded with 2 hours (2) they were patient, through out my 3 month evaluation and iterated with me on my questions and requirements changes (3) they allowed payment terms that fit my requirements. The workers were professional and clean. They were flexible working on a Saturday to accommodate my schedule. They even took care of a few other smaller items while on the job.

Thanks William for your contracting service.

It…read morewas incredibly overpriced, but I paid anyway because I had other projects going on at the same time, and it just made things easier. Fast forward to Jan of 2022, I thought that perhaps I'd try them one more time. I called and spoke to Jim. I told him I needed my left hand out-swing, hollow core, interior door, turned around to become a right handed in-swing. I didn't need patch work. I didn't need paint. I didn't need the threshold work done. I simply wanted to hire them to give me the recessed hinge openings, and the recess for the striker plate. THAT'S it. I didn't speak Japanese, it was very plain English. Jim began with telling me he'd always recommend replacing the frame for a job like this. It's quite annoying being up-sold right after outlining, in specific detail, what I wanted the job to entail. I wasn't calling for advice or permission. I was calling to get a quote. I told him that a new frame wasn't necessary, as my frame work is great, and all I wanted was the recessing. He then said the most laughable and cliché contractor thing to say. That "if the job is straightforward" he'd only charge between $250-$300. I'm still laughing! Did you read that all the way through? $250 to recess 3 spots for door hinges, and 1 striker plate. Needless to say, I didn't hire them. And, I won't be "trying" them for anything else. Instead, I retrieved my wood chisel from the garage and got the door switched on my own. It was a basic, no frills, diy project. Maybe I should think more highly of myself, and charge exorbitant amounts of money for menial tasks?....Nah, I'll stay a decent person.

Owner David Logan will schmooze you with "communication is key" and "I will send you weekly spreadsheets detailing where we are regarding budget" during the proposal process, but you won't receive them unless you ask for them. They are so vague they make no sense. He will tell you things are great and you're going to come in under budget. Then one day, without warning, you're 25% over his admittedly over priced proposal to prepare for the worse case scenario. His response will be, "I can do anything you want; sure we can do that," leaving out that it's additional when you think you're under budget. No change orders, no estimates for additional work, just a bill and "I'm sorry, I should have stopped and made a more formal estimation to communicate these changes to you before they happened. I can understand your frustration." Point out any poor craftsmanship and his ego can't handle it, even though he's never around to supervise his crew or direct them not to do the same bad work twice. His finish carpenter is talented, but that's all he's got going for him. Run, don't walk, away from this company!
