Sailwind Construction: you get what you pay for!…read more Roughly 2 years ago I was looking for a company to remodel my mother's home in NE Pensacola. During the bid process I was told by one of the contractors to be wary of choosing the contractor with the lowest bid. According to his logic, while the cheapest contractor might still do good work, the level of micromanagement required to get quality work out of him/her would negate the savings. Unfortunately I chose not to listen to his advice and hired Sailwind. I quickly developed the opinion that Christi Colabianchi has little understanding of the methods involved in performing actual labor. Sub-contractors even pointed this out to me, and her main sub confided in me that she was overwhelmed. This, coupled with her lack of time on the job site meant there was little quality control, and just as I had been warned, constant micromanagement was required to get a semi-decent product. Beginning with quality of product, for roughly 2 months I had 2 massive holes in my ceiling from the electricians falling through. I brought this up to her and she had no idea they existed.......2 months later! Why? Because she was rarely there. Additionally, some walls weren't square, there were several issues with installed lights not working, cracked tiles in the bathroom, malfunctioning plumbing......the list goes on and on. For one 4' section of unpainted baseboard they used 4 pieced together sections of scrap. In the end she flat out refused to honor her one year warranty and blamed me for the problems. Unfortunately I had already stupidly paid her for the 4th draw, so there was no fixing the mistakes. And then there's the issue with the subs. During a deployment a neighbor called to tell me that one of the contractors working on the house had "New American Nazi" stickers on his van. You can't make up this stuff! On three occasions we were told that the painter would be there on a weekend, and we arranged to board our dogs....surprise surprise, each time they were a no-show. The house would sit idle for weeks, and Christi's answer was always "we're working the permitting process". At one point I even refused payment and started looking for another contractor, but nobody was available to finish it on timeline, so I regretfully rehired her. To prevent others from having a similar experience I recommend that you get everything in writing! Several times during the remodel Christi would make suggestions, but she was so flighty that most of them never came to fruition. When I confronted her she would say that it wasn't in the contract and it was never discussed. For those of you about to go through this process, carry a binder with you and note every change. Have them sign and date it immediately. Also if the contract is over $30K get a lawyer to review it. A lot of these companies use generic contracts with ambiguous language. For instance, the language for my completion date said by XX date it would be "reasonably completed". There's really no way to quantify "reasonably complete", and when the project drags on and on you're SOL.

We had Pettinato Construction, Inc. gut and remodel our master bathroom. They are THE best…read moreconstruction company we've ever worked with! We appreciated working with a local, family owned company who is committed to serving the Gulf Breeze, Navarre, and Pensacola area (i.e. who didn't disappear to work in Mexico Beach, chasing the clean-up work post Hurricane Michael). We set up the project with them in November and asked that it start the first week in January. The work started on time, the demolition, rough construction, plumbing, tile work, electrical, and finishing carpentry work was done daily, and was finished in exactly TWO weeks! (The custom glass saloon-style doors can't be measured until the tile work is done. They were installed two weeks later, so the whole project took four weeks from beginning to end.) They discovered an unknown active termite problem (a blessing in disguise!) and worked very collaboratively with Bryan Pest Control to kill and remove them without the added work upsetting the timeline. John designed the project with his CAD program to help us imagine the possibilities of the space, Karen was the project estimator and work scheduler/coordinator, and Chris was our on-site coordinator and carpenter. (That guy can do anything and make it look easy!) Tony also effortlessly installed the tile. And the cost for the whole project was very reasonable. We now have a very functional master bath and we are SO pleased with it! It has a pocket door to close off the toilet area with ADA compliant grab bars, a roll-in rain and hand-held shower with grab bars that easily accommodates a wheelchair, a new closet for added storage, new floor tiles, and new quartz countertop and sinks. There were no surprise costs. All of the workers were very proud of the quality work they did and were very professional. We couldn't be happier. We recommend them to others and will definitely use them again for future home improvement projects! The pic here shows the new, updated master bathroom.

And you're not the only company who does it, unfortunately, but you're one of the worst. IMO. But all those workers you allegedly fired to "make room" for cheap replacements? They existed. So did the installers who walked when the promises broke. Instead of obsessing over usernames, maybe ask yourself why so many skilled hands vanished--and why none are rushing back.
