TLDR; Dave and Brian have worked incredibly hard on our home over the last few months, and it…read morereally shows! Our home is now modern and beautiful, we are so glad we hired Christensen Construction over a couple other contractors we met with. INTRO: Christensen Construction was referred to us by one of my husband's acquaintances. We had purchased a home in August and wanted to redo the entire kitchen, and make cosmetic updates to all the floors, master bathroom as well as a second bathroom, and the laundry room. Sounded simple at first but what ensued was practically remodeling every room of our home. While we were eager to move into the home as soon as possible, we had to wait for Dave to wrap up another project before starting our project in November. Though that put a damper in our plans, we went with our gut and waited for him instead of choosing another contractor which was the right choice! He was communicative and easy to reach throughout the process via phone, text and email. EMPATHY: Dave was very careful in adhering to our requests, such as my wish to repaint old cabinets instead of replacing them all. Yet he knew when to push us to get some new cabinets when it came down to the matter of quality of the results - some of our kitchen cabinets were beyond repair and had too much dead space - we would gain so much more by replacing them. He gave sound advice and was always flexible with any changes or updates we added to our project. Dave was always a phone call or text away so we could always discuss concerns, updates and questions. He even took calls with us on weekends! The holidays in November and December pushed back our completion date, so Dave worked extra hard to make up those dates to get us into our home sooner. PRICE: My husband and I really appreciated that Dave invoiced us weekly and the invoice would include daily tasks completed so both parties could track the project management. I think this is pretty rare in the contracting industry but it highlighted that we were paying a competitive rate for all the labor performed on our project. The invoice also broke down what materials Dave bought on our behalf with his contractors discount at stores. Later on, the invoices would show a credit back to us after he returned any extra/unused materials. When it came to cutting and installing our slab countertops, Dave subcontracted the project out to a specialist but they did great work together! Having Dave make the introduction to the fabricator saved us time and work, and the subcontractor's price was very affordable for all the countertops we replaced. QUALITY RESULTS: Electrician, plumber, painter, handyman, Dave is a jack of all trades! All the work is clean and you can see a lot of attention to detail has been poured into the project. Walls that were patched were retextured so the patch would match the rest of the wall, faulty or ugly items are replaced or repaired, lines are straight and clean, gaps are caulked. Every step was taken to go the extra mile. While his team is just two men, Dave has plenty of good quality tools to get the work done and in the correct manner. Our house is now Pinterest, HGTV or Architectural Digest worthy but we will let the photos speak for themselves! Below are some of the high level items Dave delivered on our project: 1. Rewired the messy electrical mistakes created by previous owners 2. Added CAT6 hardwired internet cables for the his and hers offices, and TV (a must for those who work from home nowadays in COVID times!) 3. Installed new cabinets 4. Installed new floating laminate floors and kickboards throughout the house and stairs 5. Some plumbing work such as replacing faucets, and more importantly, adding a pot filler in our kitchen 6. Replaced all our our recessed lights and ceiling fans (even on our tall vaulted ceilings!) 7. Took apart, sanded, primed, painted and reinstalled some older cabinets and doors to make them look brand new 8. Retrofitted all 24 of our old leaky windows with new custom windows 9. Added smart switches throughout the house and installed Nest thermostats

We started work with Dave in the spring of 2019 to remodel our two bathrooms. Three months later we…read morewere happy to have Dave and his team come back and remodel our other two bathrooms. Given these two big projects that Dave has done for us, here are a few things we wanted to share about him and his work: Talented and well rounded: Dave is a general contractor, and he can basically do all kinds of jobs, including electric, plumbing, carpentry, drywall and so on. The quality of work can't be beat. Reasonably priced: Dave's quotes are very reasonable and affordable. His invoices are well organized, listing out all the material he purchased as well as detailing the work processes of each day. Great communication: Before the projects started, Dave used his personal time to meet with us and went through all our expectations. He gave us a lot of great recommendations, including relocating our toilet in one hall bath and installing recessed lighting in our living room. He really thinks ahead for his customers. Right before the project start date, we changed our remodeling plan for our master bathroom at the last minute. We appreciated Dave being so flexible and riding this out with us. The master bathroom was finished completely and met our expectations. Whenever we had questions about the project, Dave was always patient and willing to explain. He is very easy and pleasant to work with. I would recommend Dave and his team for anyone looking for a contractor that not only actually finishes the job but takes pride in their work. I plan on hiring them in the future for any other projects that come up.

He responds quick too. He can paint, do drywall, woodwork, pavers and other miscellaneous stuff.

I'm almost 80 and planning to continue aging in place in my own home. My plan was to join two bedrooms and have an arch doorway between the bedrooms. They made that happen and also built a wall within the second bedroom to create a bathroom with a walk-in shower with safety concerns in mind. They did all the plumbing, electrical and tile work in the bath that I had planned using ADA recommendations. They also raised the floor in the laundry room to make it level with the kitchen floor, thus removing accidents waiting to happen. My experience with the Improvement Company was pleasant, and the project outcome exceeded my expectations. The two highly skilled pros who worked in my home each day clearly knew what they were doing. Blayne and Yerber were considerate of my needs, respectful of my space, and cleaned up before leaving each day. Their can-do attitudes were consistently positive and their cheerfulness was contagious. Happy with the work and eager to move into my new space, I was sorry to say goodbye to those guys. Would I hire them again? In a heartbeat. Thanks, Improvement Company. L. Shirley Columbia, SC

When I met Gerald (Keileen MG), I got a good feeling in my gut that he was a person I could work…read morewith and one that would do a good job. I did my due diligence, including considering a few other companies - in the end I came back to Gerald for a handful of reasons including value and availability. Description of Job: Respositioning upper and lower kitchen cabinets to open space for a 48" commercial stove, installation of a vent hood, respsitioning electrical outlets, tiling of backsplash, modifying lower cabinet to install a drawer microwave and installing a new single bowl kitchen sink. Gerald and team did a FANTASTIC job. I would say that I am a very discerning consumer, with a keen eye for quality and aesthetics. They tuned into that pretty early on, and as such made choices and recommendations that suit my style and needs. It is always nice to work with someone who is willing to do a little more than necessary for the client. These guys were willing to pick up the appliances from the vendor - no small feat for a stove that weighs 670lbs. I didn't go to the store once. My home was treated with respect and each night they returned it to a usable state for me and my family. I hope in some little way this review is meaningful for Gerald and team, or for a consumer looking to hire a contractor. These guys work hard, they are honest and will give you value for the price you pay. When you see that, you respect it as it isn't always the case.
