David E. Smith is a 'boutique' contractor/builder who builds high quality individual homes. We…read morefirst found out about him through our realtor, though we've since learned that Dave has homes on the Eugene Tour of Homes every year as well. When we went to make an offer on our first house, we arrived at our realtor's office only to hear that it had been sold that morning. Not wanting to disappoint us, our realtor said: "You know what, there's this house that's not on the market yet, but we'll be working with the builder to sell it soon. Why don't we go take a look?". Little did we know then that we'd be making an offer the same day after all! As soon as we saw the home David Smith built we were sold. Well structured, high quality building materials, a brilliant lay-out with a really well designed media room, and a gorgeous master bathroom with a huge double walk-in shower and a garden tub. His design decisions were perfect for us, using walnut for all the wood finish, including a very cool looking, lit-up wooden grid above the living room. High ceilings throughout the house, and sky lights to brighten up the space. We found out that Dave, like us, loves Art Deco, and you can absolutely see the Art Deco elements in the fixtures and design of the house, as well as the small details. Having lived in the home for 6 years now, we are still incredibly happy with the house. Everything was built to last. His houses are expensive for the size, but that investment pays off both in terms of the appearance of the home and the low maintenance of having a house built with high quality materials. The only thing we were a little less happy with was the execution of the audio/video/internet wiring, but that's the fault of Diversified Electronics, not the builder (and the guy in question no longer works for Diversified). The value of his homes seems to hold up well too. We bought ours at the very height of the housing market, when prices were extremely high, and we paid quite a lot. However, when David Smith sold his own house (the only one identical to ours, and just a few blocks away) at the very low point of the market during the housing crash, he got nearly as much for his house as we paid for ours new, despite all the other homes around here having plummeted in value, so that speaks very well for the resale value of his homes! We would definitely buy a home from David Smith again, or have one built to our specifications.

They committed to improve the experience for other customers and gave me an appropriate discount for my time and inconvenience. I am grateful they are responsive and took this seriously. Thank you for your respect, Dr. Energy Saver! Previous 2-star Review: Unfortunately, this has been a very difficult experience for me to address standing water & drainage in my crawl space. I agreed to work with Dr. Energy Saver back in October, hoping to have the work done before the rains started. However, the work was just completed on December 31. The communication of the team was absolutely horrible - with each of the team members understanding that my project was at different points. I was told it was done multiple times - with the piping above-ground, and an alarm that was supposed to be installed still in the box. Brandon and his team finally got it figured out and did a great job communicating, but there was still confusion between the manager, Sean, and the office staff, who even threatened via phone to put a lean on my home, even though I had been calling and emailing them about the poor work and needing to get the installation completed. Grateful to Brandon for his work, and his respectfully addressing my concerns and caring about me as a customer. I would highly recommend him and his crew. However, the rest of the team really needs to get their communication and customer service addressed - it's very draining (pun intended) to have to manage and check the work you're paying someone else to complete.

Pros: ========================== -Everyone I met at Kaminski was friendly and professional. -They did the work I contracted with them to do in a fairly short period of time. -When the guys came to do the job they did quality work, in a very professional manner. -When they left, I even considered contacting them to replace the old galvanized pipe in my house sometime over the next year. I actually mentioned it to their carpenter before he left. That outcome seems unlikely now for the reasons that follow. -Once I posted my review I got a call asking how I could be more satisfied. I realize I am not their only client, and don't consider my job to be any more important than anyone else's. This said, I appreciate the effort. -I did get a refund for them for... something. Not sure what it was for. (See my last "Con" item. Cons: ========================== -We were told that they would charge half the bid in deposit, then they charged the whole thing. In fairness they reversed this charge. -My only sincere complaint is the opacity of their billing. Don't get me wrong. they gave me a VERY detailed estimate and - as I mentioned in the first part of my review - they sent me a partial refund of the initial charge. Gosh this is going to sound like I am complaining just to complain, but hear me out. The real issue is I have not yet received a detailed explanation of exactly what I was charged for. When I spoke to the company I was told that prep work went longer than expected, and was told I would get a detailed invoice. Look, I am not going to quibble over the price. I am not looking for a refund I am not due. The fact is I signed the contract, but I want to know where the money went. That is all. They did great work, and I now more than trust them. Conclusion: ==================== First impressions matter fair or not. The final assessment is, though I would work with them again, I just want to a receipt. Their bids are detailed enough that this should be doable.

I met John Webb at the Eugene Home Show in March and liked the designs they had set up, so I made…read morean appointment for an estimate and design consultation for our upcoming kitchen remodel. I already have some basic ideas about what we will do to our kitchen, but I was really looking forward to getting input from a designer about the specifics. After our appointment, John said he would email me a design blueprint of sorts along with a cost estimate by the following week. The following week came and went, along with three more weeks, and finally I received an email from John's much-more-friendly associate, Scott, who apologized for taking so long and included a short, one-paragraph explanation of what could be done with our kitchen. No blueprint was provided as promised, and the paragraph about our kitchen design was so vague and elementary that it looked as though John's associate had taken it upon himself to write it since John simply did not have time for our project. I was offended and embarrassed to think that John Webb would honestly believe this was appropriate. It took almost a month for us to receive a short paragraph about our kitchen design? I could have written that design (without the slew of spelling and grammatical errors) in about three minutes. Also offensive is the thought that I would even CONSIDER working with John Webb after this laughable "design" was put forth for our review. If it takes him (i.e. his associate) that long to write a paragraph and email it to me, how can I be sure that he would ever actually complete our kitchen remodel? I felt like we were too lowly and uncool for John Webb, so much so that he didn't even bother to take the time to think about our design at all. VERY disappointing and unprofessional. I don't like to jump to conclusions, but it seems very clear to me and my partner that John Webb simply didn't want to work on our project. Maybe he thought we were too low-brow for his fancy designs? Or maybe he just thinks we don't have money to spend on a kitchen remodel. His loss. Stay far away from John Webb and his company unless you really love the thrill of disappointment. EDIT: Sanford T. is right -- I never got to see the design. I was informed that I wouldn't be able to even glance at the design without signing a $30,000 contract. Sorry, but that's ridiculous. The "design" that was emailed to me did not provide ANY information or details that would give me a clear picture of what was intended. It was clear that Scott wrote up a paragraph and sent it to me because John was too busy to sit down and write a real proposal. No time to flesh out a $30,000 kitchen remodel for an eager client? Sorry, but I think it's fair to say that that is unacceptable. I didn't cancel an appointment with John, as Sanford so adamantly states... John never bothered to make an appointment with me after I asked for more details about the design itself. Luckily, I've found that not all designers are this pretentious or awful with customer service (the fact that John's partner would refer to an unhappy customer as a "bad apple" should be evidence enough of their desire to promote their business positively). Look around, Eugene, there are plenty of choices!
