Drumroll …read more.. Presenting our new deck! The old one should have been replaced when we first bought the house over 14 years ago, but with my dad's help, we were able to repair the most dangerous places and protect it with paint. This month we finally had it resurfaced. Jaxon Construction came in with a terrific bid, did wonderful work, and ultimately provided us with a safe and beautiful family space for years to come. Tyler and Christine were terrific to communicate with on the planning and day-by-day things, while the crew (especially Dennys and Noel) gave their all to constructing the deck. I would highly recommend Jaxon Construction, and can't wait to see what we hire them to do next! (Befores and Afters mixed, though I loaded them in order )

AHO is AMAZING!!!!!!!!…read more This is a LONG review. If you're going to drop several hundred thousand on a new home, it is worth investing time to research up-front. If you want a short summary, I'd ABSOLUTELY put Aho at the top of my list for who to have build my next home if I ever decide to buy a new home again. My Aho home is the best I've ever lived in built by the best builders I've ever used. Period. For more details, please read on. First, Aho is a homebuilder not so much a general contractor as the Yelp category states. With that said, they're the best I've ever used! I've had four total new homes built for me over the years, and Aho is absolutely the best! Here's why: * Upon visiting the subdivision to see the models, my son and I were waiting for the incredibly friendly employee (Wendy Wahl) to finish with her customer. A very friendly gentlemen asked us if we'd been helped yet, and upon explaining that we were waiting for Wendy to finish up. He asked what we were wanted to do (view models, etc.), and we told him we wanted to see a specific model, he said he'd be happy to show it to us. After he fetched the key to the model, he introduced himself as Mel Aho. I asked, and yes, he's the owner of the company. It is UNHEARD of for the owner of a homebuilding company to actually be at the site being built. *Mel showed us many models, and asked us to listen for floor creaks, squeaks, uneven molding, not straight walls, as we looked, because we shouldn't find any (he was right). He also said that code says for beam-and-post construction, joists must be a minimum of 48" on center, and that he builds them 36" on center for higher quality, structural integrity, etc. He said that it literally only costs $150 for doing that on a house (the size of the model we were looking at), and "Why wouldn't you do that?". I said that if you are (other company), and you're building 1,000 houses, then you can save $150,000. He smiled and said, "I don't work that way". Absolutely AWESOME! *The houses and floorplans are awesome. The layouts make for HUGE amounts of usable space, even in the smaller square footage models. My 2,700 square foot house feels a LOT bigger than the actual size. *Customization options are amazingly huge! Want an electrical outlet in the eaves with a switch inside the house for Christmas lights? No problem. Want a COMPLETELY different flooring, cabinet, and countertop combination in EACH bathroom? No problem. * Throughout the construction, there were a handful of items that I found that were problematic, compared to the dozens to hundreds I've experienced with other builders, and each was addressed. *Construction techniques reflect the "overbuilding for the sake of quality" that Mel gave us a sampling of: Rubberized caulking compound applied to the inside of the floor joist hangers to minimize squeaks and creeks, expandable foam between the flooring and wall frames as well as around all electrical wiring / junction box / fixture to prevent energy loss. There is a fresh air injection system in the HVAC system so you don't asphyxiate (seriously - a necessity for energy-efficient homes). These homes are VERY energy-efficient and are very well-built. *The amount and quality of home you get for the money is amazing. Quartz countertops are standard. Framed millwork around each window is standard. Glass transoms on many doors are standard. HUGE windows are standard. This makes shopping for upgrades very affordable (wooden banister with wrought iron uprights, under-cabinet lighting, covered patio, utility garage door, hot tub pre-wire, electrical vehicle charging circuits, CAT 6 outlets, OnQ networking enclosure, and on and on and on). The homes directly across the street from us from another builder, that don't seem to include as much, start in a $100,000 more for the same footprint. *EVERYBODY who works for Aho is amazingly friendly and professional. It has been a pleasure working with the warranty manager on the couple of issues found after I moved in. Was this the PERFECT home building experience? No. There were some really obnoxious issues that I'm still dealing with, (shortened due to Yelp review size limit): *Custom electrical outlet in the garage was placed on the wrong wall, making it completely useless to me. *The structure had to be cut into to remove 1' late into construction because the concrete was poured too narrow for the garage door, and this resulted in an ugly patchwork of holes in my garage to repair cut wires. *Surround pre-wire is at inconsistent heights and locations on common walls. Looks REALY ugly. * I have a few creaking stairs and floor boards. * Some of the millwork was damaged at the garage door / house entrance (painted over, so it was definitely there before painting). *The bonus room ceiling fan prewire I requested wasn't installed, and the contract shows that it somehow got missed (I should have caught this earlier, but it's too late now).

We weren't confident that the space could be made into a highly functional area because of the low ceiling height, HVAC ducts, and cement floors. But, Bill had excellent recommendations which made the space beautiful, clean, and highly functional, he even saved us money. His workmanship was excellent, he always arrived on time and always cleaned up at the end of the day. The work was completed very quickly and efficiently and the cost was very reasonable. We will definitely hire Bill again for future projects. Randy and Barbara C.

So, I was quick to consider him when I realized my elevated back deck was rotting out. He was quick to come out and give a reasonable quote (given the scope of the work). Took longer than he first estimated to start the job, but it was worth the wait ultimately. He finished in less time than he told me and under budget than what was initially quoted. The only reason I didn't rate five starts is that the project didn't start for about two months after the estimated start date, but I'm finding that to be par for the course for these kinds of big projects.

On the day of the quote, he carefully explained that having my gate re-attached would not be a cost-efficient solution due to the rot in the gate itself.

On the day of the job, Bryon was on-time and got everything together in just 90 minutes. I was so pleased with his work that I got a quote for a larger project for fence replacement for later this year. Nice job, Bryon!

He delivered on-time too, and since it was for our home in escrow, that's pretty important!

Bryon came up with an innovative idea, and the result was beautiful, and far under budget of the other options that had been presented. Excellent experience, and we will be using him at our new house too!

They also included the utility companies and how to set those up. Just made the move so easy and stress free. The best builder you could ask for.

We chose them because of the time and care the owner spent in explaining their materials and process. The warranty was also a big draw. The materials we choose allowed us to be eligible for the lifetime warranty which gives us peace of mind.

The replacement job itself was a breeze - the project was completed in 2 half days, by a very organized, professional crew. They did a great job with cleanup. All staff I interacted with via email, in person, or by phone, were prompt, courteous, and friendly. We're so glad we chose them, and recommend their work without hesitation.
