Adam Zavas, owner of Edify Construction is by far the most capable, professional, flexible, and…read morecompetent General Contractor I've worked with in the last 40 years. I've team managed the construction of multiple commercial buildings in nations around the world from 10,000 up to 2,000,000 ft.² housing, small business sites and large multi-billion-dollar facilities. This included manufacturing facilities, residences, class 10,000 clean rooms, multi-story offices, and full 20 building corporate campuses. I would feel very comfortable having Adam and his team build any of those structures. The facility he built for us was approximately 2300 ft.² two story with a shop for metal, wood, clay, and glass construction including a full-service kitchen, bathroom, water service area, offices and facilities for a 38-foot RV home if we chose to park one inside. I designed for EV's alongside forged metal working, glassblowing, woodcraft and plastics capability. We use the empty vehicle bays for classroom instruction, in fact we teach beekeeping on site. I provide all this information because of the myriads of details that Adam needed to manage in building this facility for our use. His work was timely, professional, of the highest quality, and he kept me fully informed at each step of the way, so I could have confidence in the agreed upon completion dates and performance of his team. During that same time, he managed at least six other significant projects across Idaho from Twin Falls, Pocatello, Sun Valley and multiple jobs in Ada, Boise, Gem and Canyon Counties that I'm aware of, while devoting the appropriate amount of time to in person, on site direct and indirect supervision of his team. Working with Adam I could see he wasn't just buying services and the supplies for construction, but he shopped to obtain good pricing and timely delivery. We finished on time and within budget. A key factor in project management is assuring timely arrival of goods and services necessary, in the proper order, so that one subcontractor is not waiting for another subcontractor to finish their part of the puzzle while you're paying for both of them simultaneously! At a time when subcontractors are often challenging to find, work with, schedule, and assure performance, Adam choreographed all the different pieces so that our facility was built in a timely fashion, yielding a very high-quality product. He's got at least a couple of pictures of our interior roof design as part of this portfolio on Yelp. Our facility had to match existing buildings that had been constructed over the past 35 years and much of it was custom work. Adam used the best quality products within our budget and installed commercially available prefabricated components for consistency wherever possible. My neighbors, building inspectors, other guests and subs, who came to our location while the building was under construction, consistently remarked about how clean, orderly, and well managed the site was. In fact, several people have used at Adam's company for their projects too. We were lucky as the house that is part of this facility that we created is close to 30 years old and many of the design items are no longer made. This meant that to match the existing structure, Adam's team had to be able to custom cut finials, bracing, and match design so the building was consistent with the architecture composed & implemented some 30 years ago. We re-purposed doors, windows, framing, up-cycling components which saved me money and helped to visually tie the structural appearances together. I've also used Adam on smaller jobs too with consistent success. Adam has my strongest endorsement and recommendation. Adam is a good Christian man, truthful and scrupulous in recordkeeping so you may rely on facts and figures he provides. To date he has probably completed ten distinct projects for me, and I look forward to working with him on future assignments.

Their attention to detail and quality was excellent. The work was beautiful and I've had many neighbors stop by and compliment how nice it looks. They are all very friendly and courteous. Every morning before starting work, they held a tailboard meeting where they discussed the work of the day and how to do it safely. They maintained a clean work site and communicated with me every step of the way. I highly recommend them. What a great group of guys! We enjoyed having them work on our home! - Vern Porter

Mike Scott was the fantastic individual we first came into contact with, and he was able to answer any questions we had. He stayed in touch throughout the whole process. Jay Ross and Craig Hammett did a great job once the building began. I think they were all just as excited as we were! We looked at a few other builders, but you couldn't move walls or change any of the actual model you were wanting built. All of the subcontractors they work with did a great job as well. We have our dream home now, and were pleasantly surprised on how painless building a home was. We were a little skeptical as I've heard many stories from others how the process can be such a nightmare. This was a fun and exciting experience and I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone to use Hammett Homes as their builder.

Brad was very professional during the entire experience and communicated well through the process. His crew often worked long hours and were punctual. My wife and I really appreciated Brad's knowledge and creative thinking and would give great ideas when we were stuck on how to remodel certain areas of the house. I personally struggled with envisioning how each room would look after the remodel and Brad did excellent at walking me through each process of the rooms to help me develop a clearer picture of the end product. I plan on using Western Idaho Builders (Brad) on my next big project of remodeling our personal home as well. Services performed: Installed new doors, moved doors around, moved walls around, built a landing with stairs leading to the back yard, painted inside / outside, removed cement stairs and blended wall with house, framed garage door, installed new lights. I had new flooring put in my a different company but Brad did the floor prep and did a great job for the floor installers. The project was completed just over a week past the projected completion time but I primarily put the blame on the painters for this. One slight negative to the project was the painters were not very punctual, had to come back multiple times, and I am not sure the quality of paint was what I paid for due to how easily it is to scratch the paint with my fingernail on accident. The painting itself was a good job and looked very professional. Painters were subcontracted by Brad and not completed by his crew.

When we think of Michael Larson DBA Larson Builders, three words come to mind ... integrity,…read morequality and innovation. We believe Mike to be one of the most honest, dependable, and ethical craftsman we know! We liked that Larson Builders worked "clean" with zipwalls to minimize dust intrusion into the rest of the house. They were always punctual, on site every day during the construction period, and got it done quickly. We hired Michael for our kitchen remodel and the remodel of our front entrance of our 1976 ranch home. Michael made our "Dream Kitchen" happen, just in time for holidays ... with great attention to detail, focus on customer satisfaction, superb craftsmanship, great problem solving plus he saved us money! As the contractor for our total kitchen remodel, Michael started with gutting our small 1976 galley kitchen, enlarging and moving the kitchen for a lake view, removing walls, vaulting the ceiling, adding a large island and opening it up to the living room complete with adding a new walk-in pantry, new closet and wood floor. It is PERFECT! We LOVE LOVE LOVE our new kitchen . . . it is so much fun to entertain in, cook in and live in! We highly recommend MICHAEL LARSON BUILDERS!!! We also had Michael build the "redesign of our exterior front entrance" by extending and vaulting the entry, installing posts and enclosing the complete soffit and installing lighting. It is AMAZING and brought our 1976 ranch home into the 21st Century! Thank you Michael for this great transformation! Michael is a great problem solver and offered us many innovative ideas and unlimited skills that made our kitchen and remodeled entrance unique and they blended beautifully with the style of our home. In fact, we have received many compliments "that our new kitchen and entrance looks like they have always been there!" Goal accomplished! THANK YOU MICHAEL LARSON!!!

About the company: I am a firm believer in time management,…read morecommunication, quality over quantity, supporting local business and professionalism. Those who read my reviews know my disposition about hard work, and "old school" businesses. M&J Painting exceeded and executed all expectations. Matt, the owner, educated me about the job, and how we, my family and I, could most benefit from doing one type of paint instead of the other. In addition, he gave out numerous of alternatives. What was the job? The job (to me) was complex, but the painters made it look like a breeze. I needed my kitchen island repainted because it was chipping at the bottom. Frankly, it was driving me nuts. Only one whole day of painting, then the next day they came back to put on the cabinets. Expertise about the job: This is the most important part of my review. I am not a painter, nor do I have a large understanding of the varieties of paint. I know my water paints from pre-k, and that is about it! Therefore, I have high expectations when I hire an individual within their field. The owner of M&J, Matt, appeared to have great wealth of knowledge in his area of expertise. He was able to articulate a variety of paints, and how the kitchen island would appeal visually by utilizing paint and the formality. He also educated us about different options. Matt also educated us about caring for the painted site for the next 14 days, and how to continue to receive maximum visual appealing island. Employee / Staff: Matt, the owner, set a firm base of communication prior to visiting the job site. He responded within hours of receiving a FB message. He went around my busy schedule to come give me a quote. He arrived on-time, and showed up for the job. He and his employee had all necessary tools to complete the job. More importantly, he and his employee appeared friendly and enjoyed his job. Cleanliness: I am a very particular person when it comes to contractors being clean and cleaning up after themselves during and after the job. That was not a problem for M&J! The employees were very clean, and cleaned up after themselves. They brought their own broom/dust pan/ and other tools to ensure the best possible cleanliness. During the job the workers were very careful and delicate with their surroundings. My kitchen looked like a scene off of Dexter, but I'm glad they put up as much painting plastic sheets as they did. Price: Paying and pricing out painting jobs is typically my husband's job. My initial reaction was off-put after receiving the quote. However, my reaction was based on lack of understanding within this field. I conducted research, and M&J's price appeared to be competitive within the Treasure Valley. In addition, after seeing their work, I was more than happy with the quote. References: Matt offered references from the beginning. I contacted both references, both highly recommended this company. Star rating:I typically do not give 5 stars. I am a firm believer that every company has the ability to improve in some way, but there are a few companies who deserve the five star. This is especially true when it comes to M&J Painting. They are phenomenal in all aspects. More importantly Would we ever go back? Absolutely. Probably will be hiring them for a paint job in the very near future. Star rating: I typically do not give 5 stars.
