I wanted a quote for doing some tiling in our house before we sold it. Called around to try and get…read moresome quotes for the project. So I call up and explain what I would like to get done and ask if I could someone over for a estimate. THE FIRST question I got back was "Are you looking around or getting other quotes?". I told the lady yes I wasn't sure exactly so I wanted to look around. She then told me if I was getting other quotes they wouldn't give me one it "wasn't worth their time". WTF?? I really didn't know what to say to say to that so that was the end of the conversation. Are they so sure that their prices are so unrealistic that why bother to even try? I have never experienced ANY company handle something like this. I would look else where. I have to clue what there work may be like (could be great who knows) but after my experience and reading other similar ones I am dead sure its probably one headache after another dealing with them.

All I can say is I am floored by how arrogant and rude the owner is! We had three different…read moreprojects we were looking to have done at our home: 1. roof 2. soffit 3. porch. We've also received estimates from two other companies who told us we had at least five years left on our roof and just needed to repair a section around the chimney; Newman said we needed to replace the whole thing. Surprise! When I asked about the soffit, his first question was "what's our budget?". I said it is whatever it costs and that we were comfortable with the other two estimates we'd received. He then said they weren't interested in bidding on the project. I said "Ok. Then thank you for your time." He was shocked I didn't want to know why. "Don't you know who we are?!" he said, like they are some sort of celebrity. "Don't you know our reputation?!" I just told him we were done and asked him to leave. We didn't even make it through everything we wanted to have done. Apparently he assumed we couldn't afford the work or realized that since we'd already had other estimates done he wasn't going to be able to talk us into unnecessary work. Either way, I am shocked and disgusted and only gave them one star because I couldn't give them zero!

Un-organization, and poor communication were the only services that were in abundance.

Expectations Exceeded!…read more Working with Brian Downs of Downs Construction has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. We first reached out to Brian in November for a major addition to our home--a new bedroom, walk-in closet, expanded entryway, and a covered porch. From the initial planning stages through groundbreaking in March, the unexpected tornado in May, and project completion in June, Brian delivered on every promise he made. In today's world, that kind of reliability is rare. Even when issues arose--as they inevitably do with any major construction--Brian was the first to raise them, often before we even noticed. Every challenge was met with a solution, and every step was handled with transparency, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to quality. We're absolutely thrilled with the final result and already looking forward to working with him again on future projects. It's clear Brian takes pride in his work, and it shows in every detail. We recommend Downs Construction without hesitation. If you want a contractor who communicates, cares, and delivers--Brian is the one to call.

I call Brian at down's construction and they got right on it. They fixed The problems caused by the other two contractors. I really appreciate their attention to detail and thoroughness. They also stayed in constant contact with us and let us know when they were arriving. At one point they had pull the flooring up because the previous contractor had put a hole in the water line. Downs construction did such a good job that I hired them for several other jobs. They went above and beyond and I can't recommend them enough.

I would avoid Shouldice at all costs. One of their professionals provided us with a quote for…read morenecessary electrical work to be done to bring a house up to code, prior to us purchasing the home. When we requested that they then come on site to complete the work, we engaged in a torturous months-long complicated string of communications where the professional would come out, do a bit of work, and then disappear. Scheduling was a nightmare, we could not get him out for weeks and months at a time. Suddenly some of the electrical items in the home stopped working altogether, making us very concerned that the original assessment of safety of the home was inadequate. We spoke to Shouldice then, directly, and they were very accommodating in sending a different professional out, immediately, to review the work and make additional recommendations, which turned a terrible experience into something we felt much better about. Fast forward more than a month later to Shouldice insisting that additional payment was owed for the review of the work. I politely requested reconsideration, at which point a Shouldice representative that I had never spoken with shouted at me, interrupted me repeatedly and accused me of trying to "get out of the bill" and demanding that I discuss it in person with him and the two professionals (one of which was obviously now aware that I had complained about the process) if I wanted anything rectified. Truthfully, the additional charge wasn't significant enough to warrant this harassment, so I paid it. The whole experience was atrocious, a little bit scary and tremendously disappointing. After all of this, there are still items on the list that were never completed! Steer clear.
