We hired Asons Construction 6 months ago to do the needed repairs on a home we purchased. Asons was horrible to deal with. They would give us a quote, we would agree on it, then they would turn around and DOUBLE the quote. They were horrible at explaining what was included in the prices that they were estimating. So we thought the project was getting done completely, but they would leave out the finishing work. So, we paid for something and it wasn't even completed. They were an absolute nightmare with every single project. I have spoken with other people in the area who have had similar experiences. I wish I was able to give 0 stars. read more

To Zachary- I am so sorry that you have fallen prey to a sub-standard P&P company. Here is the issue- the government contracts out work to these large national or regional companies. They in turn subcontract the work out to "qualified" vendors who in the case of wints and de-wints are basically any guy who answers a CraigsList ad and owns a vehicle and a wrench, and a portable air compressor. Most of the time, they have no clue what they are doing, and try to get in and out as fast as they can. That is the only way to make money. In most cases (different areas sometimes have different rates) but I can tell you that htey pay a "contractor" $60-70 for a winterization in Michigan, and just about half of that for de-wint. So the dewinterization you paid $180 for, paid the guy with a wrench $35, who then promptly left. This industry, that I do work in, is a mess. There is little oversight of the contractors, and the truly good contractors suffer. $25 grass cuts, etc- it's a mess. Sorry you had such a bad experience, and I hope you have either gotten your home fixed or found another one. read more

Terrible to complete preservation work for since Keisha Thomas has became property Coordinator for Ohio. She is grumpy, tries to avoid paying contractors what they deserve and will bring you down to the bottom of the totem pole. My company was at the top with Asons at one time and we really enjoyed working with them. Its a shame that someone can hate their job that much that they want to bring good vendors down. I really believe that if you are not the right color she will go above and beyond to make sure you do not receive any work. I would get sent to clean up other vendors messes and mistakes and saw the way some vendors left their properties but yet they still kept getting all of the work orders. I really hope this company gets rid of her before its too late. She is losing workers and money for the company. read more

Believe me, if you're a vendor you don't want to use A-Sons Construction. As a previous employee I can say from experience that their vendors aren't happy and are always quitting. The same can be said for unhappy, mistreated employees who are yelled and cursed at, publicly humiliated in meetings whenever A-Son's client's threaten to fire them due to substandard work completed by contractors. I too wish that I didn't have to give any stars because A-Son's doesn't deserve even one. read more

I feel that very little could have gone worse with our experience with ASONS's Property Preservation dept. My wife and I won the bid on a very nice home (currently appraised at $241,000) that had been winterized. ASONS is the property management company in charge of dewinterizing the home, in order for us to conduct a professional in depth inspection. ASONS had turned the water on the night before our inspection, yet left the home with a leak in the main floor laundry room, which leaked through the main floor wall and into the ceiling and floor of a basement bedroom. Our inspector turned the water off himself approx 18 hours after ASONS had 'dewinterized' the home. The ceiling is now sagging and extremely discolored, the floor has been fully saturated, and that is all we can see at this time. There could very well be more damage in the walls and above the ceiling/in the floor of the main level. ASONS was notified on April 18th of the leak and the new damage, they informed us they would have someone out their that day to clean up the water. They inform us later that day that they can't get someone out there until the next day. The next day comes and they then inform us that they can't have someone out there to clean up the water until the 20th. 2 days from the initial notice of the new water leak and water damage, they finally have someone out there to shop vac the water (that is all though, no dehumidifiers, no fans). They also repaired the shut off valve. The water sat in this house untouched for 3 days. The Asset Managing company has been wonderful trying to help get this resolved with ASONS, yet ASONS will not return our agents call or any communication from the Asset Managers who issue their work orders.... The Asset Manager Specialist has her Supervisor involved and they both were told by ASONS that ASONS was working on this, yet now they are not taking calls from our agent as of 5 days ago. The Asset Management company has appologized to us for how poorly this has been going and that this is even happening. They sent ASONS a work order request to at least remove all material that was damaged by this water leak, yet they are not responding to the Asset Management company, so they issued, yet another work order to ASONS to clean up the water damaged materials. As of today, ASONS has issued the statement "As for the ceiling, it is not damaged from the drip/leak in the laundry room it has been discolored for sometime". So, after going in to fix the leak and vacuum up the water, they are now denying that this water leak caused the damage. This is very saddening to hear as we might not be able to go through with this home purchase because of the new damage that occurred after we had bid and won the home. Water was present to clean up after the dewinterization, and ASONS eventually worked to stop the leak and vacuum up water, yet now they deny this water leak causing the damage. It is very unfortunate this is happening. I did enjoy working with the inital rep from ASONS as I worked out the time for the dewint. As stated by her, "They will be de-winterizing the property(basically just turning the water on and making sure there are no leaks). They will also fire up the water heater as well." I would recommend that if you have no choice but to use ASONS, make sure you are there when they are to make sure this doesn't happen to you. My wife and I now look to be out of a wonderful home we had been so excited about, not to mention the $180 we paid to ASONS for them to dewinterize. Mistakes happen, yet I feel the level of service has been nothing short of shocking. read more

I just purchased a house that our tax dollars were selling and after getting the power turned back on to the house . We were told and given a report from a-sons construction that there was a couple of leaks in heating radiation after taking all radiation cover off I found 16 frozen and burst in piping went test boiler with air and found that boiler drain was still shut off , I am a plumber by trade and I know that when you winterize a home that the boiler drains are left open after piping is blown out with air but obviously winterizing was not done on this house . Also the gas fired water heater was not blown out with air because the boiler drain on water heater was still in the off position and even the water main from street was in the off position haven't tested that yet but I don't have a good feeling about this either .i have a Buderus gas fired boiler that is 7or 8 years old that us junk because of not being drained ,a kick space heater that is junk , a gas fired water heater that is junk all due to lack of winterizing even though there was a winterizing form hung on everything they did waste there time to date the form but did not put there name on form saying who did the winterizing .i am going to talk to a Laywer to see what can be done about this because these people need to be stopped . Also this house is in Whitehall New York and the company that did the winterizing was out of IN. Another wate of our tax payer dollars read more
