Unprofessional and left much to be desired. Came in and agreed to a contract based on another…read morecontractor's estimate after taking no more than a cursory glance around at the expected project. Took more than double the time he estimated to complete the project and left it unfinished. He had no more than 3 workers at any given time and the vast majority of the time only had two. Even though we did almost all of the demolition and flooring work ourselves, when he was unable to complete the agreed upon work in the anticipated time he continued to rack up man hours and then demanded the set price be increased multiple times and refused to show up any more when we refused the final time. He would often not show up until nearly afternoon or not show up at all for a day with no notice, including leaving our 1 bath apartment with no shower or tub for 5 days when he didn't complete the project by the weekend as promised and did not show up until Wednesday of the next week. He left with a large amount of unfinished work. Some he contended was not included in the contract and was the responsibility of the homeowner, other issues included failing to texture finished drywall and failing entirely to finish some segments of drywall. Many places were bumpy and uneven. The staining on his cabinetry was uneven because the dark stain required multiple coats that he essentially got tired of applying and the edges and undersides of upper cabinets were totally unfinished. The installation of cabinet doors resulted in cabinets that rubbed together and could not be opened at the same time. The decorative cover placed over the dishwasher door to match cabinets was sloppily glued on and sagging off within a week of application and other false drawers and decorative pieces were poorly attached and soon began to slide and become crooked. Electrical outlets were disconnected to install drywall and never reconnected. Bathroom fixtures including lights, mirrors, towel hooks and other facets were left in the boxes for the owner to install. His kitchen sink installation included a garbage disposal that consistently forced water up the opposite side pipe into the second sink basin. With these many issues, probably the worst problem was that despite his labor being "guaranteed," multiple attempts to contact him to resolve some of the issues left behind were simply ignored: he would not take calls, respond to messages or make any contact in an effort to resolve the issue. Needless to say we will be using a different contractor for all future projects. Photos available of most examples of unfinished or shoddy work.

I recently had the floors in my house refinished, and gotta say...it was a fantastic experience!…read moreThese are the kind of projects one dreads, with the amount of work involved, moving absolutely everything out, and completely disrupting living conditions for a week...not the adventure you want to do more than once! But Sergenian's crew was absolutely fantastic, every single step of the way! (5-stars isn't enough!) Starting with Russ' consultation, he is the epitome of professionalism, always being sure to not over-promise, or just agree to everything I say to make the sale. And when Kyle and Armando came to do the work, they continued with extremely specific discussions of the technique, timeline, expectations, etc. They worked diligently, with extreme consideration for my home, my dog, and fully discussing all of the steps along the way. Out-standing! And the quality of their work is A+ to boot. In this day and age, it is incredibly difficult to find contractors who are reliable, experts, diligent, considerate, and actually deliver on what they say. You are lucky if you get two of those qualities, but Russ, Kyle and Armando delivered in full in every single category; Outstanding! (Did I mention how nice all of the office staff was as well? They were; and efficient, too!) I have had an *extremely* mixed bag of experiences dealing with contractors here in Madison, from absolutely miserable schiesters I've been tempted to take to court to the very good ones who've been great and gotten the job done. But this group of individuals was so outstandingly great, I wish they'd take up every other trade, and solve all of my remodeling needs! To be clear, I don't work for Sergenians, and I'm not related to anyone there (!) but I think when you come across such an amazing, talented team, who cares deeply, and actually does their job incredibly well (at reasonable cost, no less!), well, that deserves a minute of my time to say thanks, for a job more than well done. Turns out there are still some good people out there, just gotta find them as you wade through the opportunists and such...faith in humanity restored through flooring! ;-} (And almost forgot, but the flooring was *black* which is extremely non-standard! I'd looked and talked with several other companies, always getting a "...yeah I think we can do something like that" vibe; not what you want to hear. But Sergenians was incredibly explicit about what can and cannot be done, and they might say "minimizing expectations," but in reality, the final floor is absolutely glorious, way BEYOND what I'd even hoped for!) Ok, time to stop the ramble, and I'm gonna go enjoy my new floors! (And in the photos I'm posting, it is hard to capture the rich black, because if you go "true" to color, it looks so dark you see no detail...but to see any detail, you have to brighten up, and they don't look like that. Such are the limitations of "standard" photography; HDR photos would be ideal. The takeaway point is that IN-PERSON, the floor looks SPECTACULAR! ...and yes, black floors will show dog hair, dust, etc., but a small price for the best looking floors ever!)

I was stuck and she was patient and helpful, never pushy. I ended up choosing a large and fabulous area rug which Sergenians have several stacks of. Jacob was also very helpful finding runner choices for me.

The highlights were communication, quality of work, price, and customer service. I cannot wait to work with The Exteriors Company again. The Exteriors Company could teach a master class on contractor/customer interactions. If you need exterior work done, call The Exteriors Company! FOR REAL. LENGTHY REVIEW STARTS HERE: It took over a year and a half and meeting with 15 roofing companies to finally find the right company for my job: The Exteriors Company. My house has a modern/Frank Lloyd Wright kinda vibe - lots of different roof sections and pitches. A majority of the first 15 contractors that bid on my roof repair wanted to sell me a new roof. The problem with my roof was a design flaw and a new roof would have eventually led to more water in my house. This was confirmed by an architect. If you look at the before and after photo, you can see how ridiculous the design was. We had water coming into our house anytime it rained and when the snow melted. It was awful. We were lucky enough to have Ryan (the owner of The Exteriors Company) come look at our roof. The first thing he said after climbing on to the roof was, "You need to redo this whole area," confirming what we already knew. That was the first clue that we found a good roofing contractor. After talking in person and over email with Ryan and getting the contract for the project, we knew we found the right company. Ryan was so communicative. He reached out regularly through the repair process. We had four different teams (framing, roofing, siding and gutters) work on our repair. We were notified in advance when to expect each team. Then each team project manager reached out via text a day or two before and the day of their work. Each team was on time and did beautiful work. They were also tidy and I felt like they respected our home and property. Shout out to Taylor Paar and Scott Mack (roofing project manager and siding manager). Both these fellows came to meet with me and my husband to review the work that was done and to make sure everything was done to our liking. And to make sure we didn't have any concerns or questions. The entire experience from start to finish was incredible. The Exteriors Company very obviously cares deeply about the quality of their work and customer satisfaction. If I could give more than five stars, I would gladly do that. I wish more contractors/vendors followed the playbook that The Exteriors Company has perfected. JOB WELL DONE
