I had him remove 6 windows and install new ones. He told me they were energy star certified. He…read morerefused to give me an itemized list of what kind, the cost, or where he bought them. Once I called the company and found out that they were not energy star certified He stopped responding to my texts. And he also blocked me on Facebook. He also took my old windows without asking if we wanted to keep them. He told me the windows would be $300 a piece. He charged me $3940 for 6 double hung windows with full screens that are cheaper windows than what he removed. I only contacted him because I knew him and thought he was trustworthy. He is a thief.

I had mold on my bathroom ceiling and wanted my bathroom redone to get rid of the current mold and…read moreeliminate the problem that was causing the mold. I called G.L.R. and very quickly received a response from Justin to come out and give me an estimate. I also received the estimate in a timely manner and the estimate was a very reasonable price. I did not know the cause of the mold and Justin found 4 things that were contributing to the growth and was able to correct all four things. Justin is very knowledgeable and it was clear that he knew what he was doing and he takes pride in doing the job right. He suggested other improvements (that I didn't think of) such as offsetting the paint job with 2 different colors to make the bathroom look better. This bathroom is my kids bathroom and I can tell that they are taking steps to keep it cleaner now that it has been redone. I now have a sigh of relief that the mold is gone and won't come back AND it looks great! He took care to NOT get the rest of the house dirty while he was working and cleaned up afterwards.

TRAINWRECK! Beware of this incompetent contractor. I have two houses for fix up this year, a…read moredozen contractors worked with across general, construction, HVAC, minor repair, plumber, and electrical and only one issue - This train wreck person. He has only one other review (yelp) I could find and it is similar to this disaster. The issues with Dobay: 1. Time line will be committed to verbally. However, when agreement came, it has small print that says he can do it when he feels like it. He committed to two weeks, worse case three weeks to complete job, but contract was worded that there was no commitment. I finally fired him after 9 weeks when it became clear his work was not only unlikely to be never really completed, but with the little amount completed, it was completely unacceptable. 2. He committed to match old style of the porch he was rebuilding. He was not close in any way. Frame work was terrible. Cement base crooked. Foundation right on the ground. Cuts did not match up with many gaps. Floor was uneven. Overhangs in some places, undercuts in others. He did it how he felt doing it and It was awful! 3. The materials used were not appropriate for outdoor use. He used indoor materials for an exterior porch. The three new contractors I brought in to bid on the job each were shocked how bad it was. All pointed to same issues with Dobay construction. The whole job must be ripped out and started from scratch which finally is happening months later. Small claims court gave partial reimbursement on what I gave him up front, but not full amount back I paid him. Lowest possible score. Sign at your own risk.

My husband hired Dobay Construction in July 2018 to attach a carport to his existing one car…read moregarage. He had several quotes ranging from $2200-$2600 from other contractors. Mr. Dobay offered to do the job for $1900 if my husband paid cash. He was very friendly and personable and assured us that he would secure the proper permit(s), build the structure to code and cover the carport with a beautiful metal roof that matched the color of the garage. He didn't show up to start the project. No phone call to explain and it took days for my husband to get a return call. When we finally did hear from him, he told my husband that he was having trouble obtaining a permit and that it would "take some time." One time he even stated that he was right in the zoning officer's office as they were speaking and everything was fine. My husband went to the zoning office and found out that he had not applied for a permit at all. Mr. Dobay apologized and explained that he was running behind on his larger jobs and that he'd get everything done right away. He showed up sporadically all summer (blaming bad weather even on beautiful days) and his "crew" consisted of a young lady he introduced as his daughter, who scrambled to help him finish the roof before it started to snow. She was clearly inexperienced and put the nail holes all through the custom metal roof panels because she wasn't able to find the beams, so the roof of the carport leaks. We finally thought the job was complete in early November 2018 and my husband invited his friend (who happened to work for a licensed contractor) over to see his new carport. He immediately noticed that the carport was not properly secured to the garage and told us it wasn't up to code because the first heavy snowfall would cause it to collapse. My husband called the city inspector, who came out and immediately and attached a violation notice on the carport and said that we had 6 months to have it built to code or it would have to be torn down. The inspector also informed us that the carport was built right into a city "right of way" access area and that there was no way the contractor would not be aware of that if he obtained the proper permits, as required. Mr. Dobay said that the work was impossible to complete because of the winter weather and assured us he would come back first thing in the spring to correct the issues. He did not contact us at all or return any phone calls we made until we sent him a certified letter on AUGUST 2019 informing him that we would take legal action against him if he did not contact us to finish the job. His wife called my husband the day they received the certified letter and was very rude, but said he would be out the next day to start working on the repairs. The weather was fine, but the next day was actually a week and a half later. He spent one afternoon doing the work to properly secure the carport to the garage, but then we never heard from him again. He would not return any of my husband's calls after that and my husband was diagnosed with cancer in October and passed away 32 days later. I've heard that Mr. Dobay does very good work on kitchen and bath remodels, although many others have since told us that they had the same problem with his unreliability) and he did admit to my husband that building a carport was beyond his area of expertise, but that is no excuse for his refusal to call people and show up to do the work. Please be careful if you are considering using DOBAY CONSTRUCTION and if you do, make sure you include a "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE" clause in your contract!
