After the derecho storm in Cedar Rapids, I chose Rapid Drywall to replace the ceiling in my NW…read morebedroom and its walk-in closet and to repair a hole in my living room ceiling. Other work included removal of wallpaper and texturing in the bedroom, and repainting in both rooms. Adrian was my main contact. Shortly after work began, his team discovered some serious mold behind the wallpaper in the bedroom. We discussed options and I decided to replace the west wall of the bedroom and part of the north wall as well. Even with the unexpected work, the job moved forward on schedule without a hitch. Throughout the job, Adrian kept me informed and responded quickly to any questions I had. The crews were courteous, the workmanship was solid, and the repair was an overall improvement to the NW bedroom. Many thanks to Adrian and his team for their help in putting my house back together after that terrible August storm.

He seemed eager for the work but we ended up not doing that project. Fast forward to two weeks ago, we had hired a contractor to go a remodel project and his rough carpentry and framing were ok, it was down hill after that. After he installed, textured and painted our entire remodeled project WRONG, I begged my Husband to call Adrian. He finally did. Adrian and his crew sanded our 1100 sw foot home, skim coated the disastrous mess, retextured, primed and painted it all. Fast, excellent skills, and the cost was doable! He even suggested a venetian plaster hit the ceiling in my bathroom! I saw his work on the staircase at Hancher, it's beautiful. I can't wait to see our finished house. His crew is respectful and cleaned up each day. These guys busted their buns off helping us out! I hope only the best for these great young men!

It's somewhat baffling all of Tomlinson Cannon's communication encourages customers to contact them…read morewith any problems. I can only assume that's for the slight catharsis of complaining into the void, because in my experience, they won't return any communication and, if they do, it's only to tell you that the issues are your own fault.   We contacted Tomlinson Cannon primarily to bury several downspouts and direct water further away from our home. We also had some gutter questions, and they recommended some modifications, including larger gutters on the front of the house due to the roof pitch. We were quoted gutter guards only for the front sections being replaced, but they agreed they weren't really necessary because our gutters were relatively empty. The drawings provided with the quote showed the trenching for the buried downspouts (5 in total) would not interfere with our foliage, but on the day of install the pipes were buried in different locations and significantly cut into the root system of a large red maple and decimated a bed of hostas. Disappointing, but what's done is done. I asked the installer what sort of maintenance I should be doing or how I'd know there was a problem, and he just kind of shrugged and told me I'd know.   A few weeks later we had our first moderate rain, and one of the downspouts turned into a geyser where it attaches to the pipe (photo attached). There were some other issues - drain covers popping off in rain, significant soil erosion around the drain, etc. I shot them a quick email with photos and some questions about whether certain things were normal or if there was anything I should be doing. It went unanswered, but after trying to call them we got an automated email 10 days later that service had been scheduled. I called them to follow up on the questions in the email and was told the worker would answer those when he came out.   Two months later on the scheduled Friday, I took off work early to be home for their arrival window between 3 and 5pm. No one showed up. I called and was told the job had been marked complete, and they'd have the guy call me back on Monday. That weekend it rained, and the geyser returned. No one called on Monday, so I called back on Thursday and was told a manager would call. Tim called me back, and he told me they had been out and cleared some debris from the drains, and the reason we're having a geyser is because we didn't get gutter guards. (Okay, and you were just going to sit on that information unless I call five separate times?) He said they actually don't guarantee their work without gutter guards (which was the first that had been mentioned and was absolutely nowhere on any of the paperwork), and he'd send a quote for gutter guards.   A week goes by - nothing. We call back and are told that Tim will call us back. Another week goes by - nothing. We call the number Tim called from and leave a voicemail. Another week has gone by with no response, so now I'm leaving this review, four months after the initial work was done, when we're still in the same (if not worse) spot with our downspouts.   We had some basement work done as well, and the guy who came out was great and answered all my questions fabulously. Similarly, the guy who came out for the initial gutter consult was great. But since the buried downspouts alone were $4k of the $7k we paid, I'm weighing my rating accordingly. It feels very disingenuous to say that the improperly working downspouts are our fault when that's the whole reason we contacted the company in the first place, and gutter guards were never mentioned or recommended for the pre-existing gutters that connect to the buried downspouts. We've checked the gutters - they have only a minimal dusting of birch catkin fragments (see photo). Would the gutter guards keep out the very small birch catkin confetti? I wouldn't know, because it's impossible to get any answers. Even if we wanted to remedy the situation by apparently paying several thousand more dollars for gutter guards, they won't return our calls. And if we get gutter guards, how can we be sure they won't add another arbitrary condition to their work after the fact?   If your project goes perfectly, you may have a very different experience. If it doesn't, perhaps try journaling, because the result will be the same. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Tomlinson Cannon for exterior work.
