We’re passionate about quality workmanship and your satisfaction from start to finish.

If you’re looking for a small, dedicated team that cares about the end result as much as you do, we’d be happy to talk about your next project.

Working with Jim has been a nightmare for our family. We signed a contract with him to remodel our house in June 2022. PER THE CONTRACT we all signed, he was supposed to remodel our house and it was supposed to be completed by December 31, 2022. It is now June 2023 and we are still not able to move into our house. He depleted our entire building budget and has left us with an unfinished house. We even took on some of the work ourselves (interior painting, flooring install, cabinet install) in order to save money and come in on budget. Then when he saw we had extra funds to keep us in budget, he would raise his prices on his "labor" on other line items.In our contract Jim signed, he outlined all the costs of each project line item on our house that he was going to complete. Several months into our project he began to extort us for more money saying he would quit and put a lien on our property if we did not pay him what he demanded even though his charges were 70-80% above what he agreed to in our contract. His only explanation was that "prices are going up" even though when we signed our contract with him prices were at the highest and continued to drop over the course of the project.Interestigly, all of our subcontractors were able to stick to their quotes that were given at the same time as Jim's original contract. Why couldnt Jim?Jim's MO was to begin work on a line item, and then send an invoice for additional charges, saying that the labor and/or materials were significantly higher than his quote. He would then threaten to stop work if we did not agree to the new pricing. A normal contractor would submit a change order request for extra charges BEFORE beginning the work. Jim never did, and if he did submit one at all it wasnt until AFTER he completed the project.Eventually, when we became fed up with his extortion tactics we fired him. He demanded we pay his exorbitant prices (he held our materials, WHICH WE HAD ALREADY PAID FOR, hostage!) or he threatened to put a lien on our property. We repeatedly asked Jim to stay within our budget as it was agreed upon in our contract. However, he would never give us a clear answer as to what he would charge on the next project before he started, or in several instances he outright deceived us. (I.e. "if we don't go crazy we should stay within budget". He then proceeded to send us an invoice for an additional $8K on an original $12K line item.)He even tried pressuring us to take out an additional $83K loan from our bank so he could continue to overcharge us for his labor once he saw our budget getting thin.We dont want any family to have to go through what we went through being extorted by this man or this company. Its a very helpless feeling to be extorted by someone when we so badly needed a house to move into for our family.Thankfully our bank finally saw what he was doing to us and blacklisted him. They have stated they will never work with him or his company again. There really are only two possibilities for the way he conducts business: either he is an incompetent contractor and doesn't know how to bid, or he is a thief and an extortionist. Buyer beware!

Truth be told, every contractor runs into a job where the homeowner considers themselves a general contractor regardless of their actual knowledge or expertise. In this case, having previously worked for this family on another project successfully, I was comfortable taking on their hunting cabin to home remodel. However, the price spike & inflationary costs of materials during covid - rendered them out of money and unfortunately they blamed me.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our hourly/project pricing is lower than most, and most importantly, very competitive. We usually give discounts for any work that can be completed during the winter season.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We love meeting with new customers and walking through the project while on site. It’s good to meet and discuss any concerns or issues that may arise and decide the best plan of action to help the job go smoothly. We always keep the customer informed of our work schedule and project progress via text or personal communication.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our knowledge is very diverse, which includes all basic construction techniques to advanced construction and equipment operation learned from past construction experiences and training courses.
