Avoid at all costs!!! I thought I was getting a good deal…read moreand ignored all the warning signs (missed appointments for the estimate, forgot to discuss the deposit, complained my bank takes too long to clear a check, etc.) Now I need to hire another company to rip out the faulty work and repave my entire driveway. The peastone was not embedded as intended, the topcoat is extremely rough and pitted, there is a huge ridge down the middle of the driveway, and the end is all torn up from a plow. I called almost every day for a month before I got Brian Kniskern's attention with an email. He blamed me for my choice of finish and failed to follow through with any resolution because the stone was not under warranty. That is a poor excuse for failing entirely to achieve the agreed installation! Worst customer service experience I've had in a long time. Very unprofessional.

I highly recommend Brian and his crew. They applied sealcoating to my driveway and within 4 hours a…read morethunderstorm popped up out of nowhere and washed away some of the sealant.

There were issues that I had to notify management of that were done wrong or never done at all. when it came time to be inspected it failed. There were two Major issues that were Not done properly. you would think having a business and construction you would know what was required to pass the belt. I'll be home. when I notified the company,I was told from management that: "I was costing him money." REALLY!! he also stated that: "I would take care of it." After weeks of phone calls, emails in Texts I was forced to hire someone else to fix the mistakes caused by this company. This cost ME $$$$. I still haven't received a message or phone call from him. When we met, he told me he was a man of his word. He took advantage of a Veteran Senior Citizen who chose to trust a man on his word.

We did a large renovation and moved into the house in 2014…read more I really enjoyed working with his crew but I'm left feeling like a lot of corners were cut in the finish work. The met their move in expectation within 10% of the original forecast and were within a couple points of budget (although I micromanaged the budget with more granularity than they did). It was relatively smooth sailing for the first 90% of the project. By the end of the project, however, Doug and I had a very hard time seeing eye-to-eye. I was, in hindsight, likely pretty high maintenance. That being said, the small issues I was focused on have grown into larger issues. For example, the electrician was absolutely horrendous -- sloppy, inexperienced (I had to teach him how to splice Cat5 cable after Googling it myself), and just unprofessional. He used the cheapest outlets possible - many of which still don't work properly. Closet lights don't work, the electrical panel is completely mislabeled, I have no faith in Cat5 working aside from those I did and QA'ed. The painters were a point of frustration, too. They did a very rushed and messy job and the the exterior has more peeling paint and rot after 4 years than our last house did after 20+ years. Another example, we have a tile company coming this week to fix some tiles that (for the 3rd time) have fallen out and to repair grout that has already cracked and fallen out. I believe the house is generally of solid quality but the amount of work we have to put into the house has been disappointing, to say the least. In their defense, they offered to do any remaining warranty work (I had a Google Doc listing outstanding items after we had moved in) but Doug has made it pretty clear he doesn't want to work with us on any additional projects, so I'm hesitant to trust the level of craftsmanship to fix existing projects.

Starwood Custom Homes has really enjoyed working with Jeff Pollock with Integrity Design. Jeff is…read morevery talented and does a great job in working with the clients he designs for. Jeff listens to each clients dreams and needs, gets organized and then lets his mind create and deliver. Jeff on many occasions has gone above and beyond to make the customer happy, whether it be a redesign where they weren't quite satisfied with the result or working very long hours to hit a deadline, integrity is the driving force for Jeff. I consider Jeff a valued Trade partner of Starwood Custom Homes and great friend as well.

I don't know how many of you read Bobby Belanger's lame lies in response to my review, but to deny…read morethat any of it ever happened is just plain ridiculous and nonsensical! The attached screen-shot proves that much, at the very least!! Does it not?? Yeah, I think it does! Still want to deny that we ever interacted Bobby??? You know, being bad at business is one thing. Some people just suck at life and that's all there is to it. No reason to be mad about it, and no sense in getting mad about being called out for it. I'm like that about certain things myself. For instance, I am terrible at keeping up correspondence. But I'm not running a service-oriented business that requires that skill. You are! But to just straight up lie about it to all of these good people and say the whole thing never happened? Are you really that dumb?? Guess what - they all know it's true now, don't they? I wish I had posted that screen-shot along with the initial review, but what are you gonna do? It's not like I'm running a service-oriented small business! And don't try to say that we're not connected and therefore you never received my messages. I can post your responses to the questions I asked previously. I fact, you're the one who initiated contact with me when you PM'd me after I said I was looking for a handyman in the "Bellingham Small Business and Beyond" Facebook group.

WOULD URGE GREAT CAUTION in contracting the services of Hard Knock Handyman…read more While both of the owners are indeed quite personable on 1st meet & greet the experience goes entirely downhill from that point on. Despite the fact that I paid them daily (1st red flag) they began the job of refacing my exterior dormers, made an utter mess, and then simply disappeared leaving my exterior dormers exposed to water damage during a particularly rainy Spring season. Moreover the shingles that they did manage to complete entirely buckled within days. The fencing they installed is completely off center. And the mess they left behind took an entire day to clean up. Dozens of unanswered calls/texts latter I am left with a disastrous mess of exposure to resolve. Don't be fooled by their over-engaging persona ... integrity matters ... and you will find this company to be entirely lacking.

I called Work of Art after a recommendation from the man who installed my garage doors, and I was not sorry. Their quote to vinyl-side the garage and put louvers over the window was $1400 cheaper than anyone else's, and the job was done to perfection. My father was a contractor, and he looked over every inch and pronounced it pristine. Fast, professional, and personable, you can't beat their work or their prices. I will definitely hire this company again.

He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and took as much pride in my home as I do. He FAR exceeded my hopes! He carefully listened to all my concerns and questions, and worked with me every step of the way. Along with that, he's very personable, and was a pleasure to have in my home. You can't go wrong hiring him for any work you need - in fact I strongly recommend that you do!

However, out of the blue he stopped responding our email messages or taking our calls. He completely ignored our request for an update. As a professional contractor, the least he could do is advise us what changed. I guess we will never know since he went from a trusted professional to a sleazy car-salesman professional. Very disappointed with this contractor and I would not recommend it to anyone. If he ever gets back to us, i will be happy to update this comment.
