We had DeLeers come out to look at a small remodeling project. At the appointment, we discussed…read morebudget and ballpark estimates, and Brian felt confident we'd land roughly in the $20k range. He used phrases like "on the high side" and I can't imagine it being more than that," and made us feel assured that our budgeting was appropriate. Given that, we agreed to a deposit of $250 for him to go ahead with a formal quote, per company policy. When the proposal came back, it was $45K, which is more than double what we had discussed. While I understand that quality work and materials are costly, I don't understand how his verbal estimates were so grossly inaccurate, especially when he said he's been working there for 18 years. While I understand the deposit was intended to cover his time in gathering the estimates, and that he "doesn't work for free," a large part of his job is properly estimating potential costs for potential clients, and he did not do that. We agreed to the $250 deposit based on incredibly inaccurate numbers, and when I requested our deposit back, we were denied (twice.) While I don't think it was his intention to be deceptive, we felt swindled out of $250. I was very disappointed that they weren't willing to refund us.

Anyone seeking a Home Remodel knows how hard it has been…read morelately to find "good help", and we feel we were Very Lucky to have called DeLeers (specifically their Service Division which handles existing buildings). Quick to respond, great ideas for us that we'd never otherwise have considered, careful attention to all details, quality product selection, expert workmanship, schedule stick-to-it-tive-ness, follow-through, I could go on & on. They will probably never be the lowest bidder, but you want a job well done you will always get that from DeLeers.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Chris. We had a smaller scale plumbing…read morerepair that we normally would have done ourselves, but with the cold temperatures, we didn't want to risk turning the water off and encountering an unexpected problem. After reaching out to several plumbers, Chris was the first one to get back to us. He had great communication, punctuality, fair rates, and he was very thorough in explaining things to us. Although we hope to never have any plumbing problems again, we do hope to work with him again in the future on some improvements around our home.

I don't even know where to start. Everything started fine with Chris Atkinson. But after I…read morequestioned the inappropriate behavior of his plaster guy, Chris called me ridiculous and basically ghosted us. He stared in May and was supposed to dine by beginning of June. The week before Memorial Day was the last time I saw him. He ignored my texts when I reached out, continually lied and said he couldn't come install anything because he was so busy. We were pushed off so many times. After 2 months of him not responding or telling me I was ridiculous (he did this twice), he finally came to install doors. He didn't finish the job, he left of door laying on the ground and other doors without knobs. I messaged him and he said it was because of the handles we chose...I'm not sure why he couldn't tell us this so we could pick out different handles. Overall he was really difficult to work with. He ignored my texts until I finally told him that we would have to hire someone else. I did let him know that we had exposed wires behind drywall that his plaster guy covered up. He covered several outlets, heating vent, aair return and receptacle for hard wired smoke detector. He didn't care and said he wasn't going to fix their mistake because we had said we would have to hire someone else to finish the job. He was well aware of the covered wires before we made the decision to hire someone else. Throughout the process he ridiculed the way my husband had completed work on the 2nd floor. Several times he also left a 16 year old alone at my house to finish the days job. I'm not sure that is even legal. And he was incredibly rude and picked on the 16 year old. He made fun of his weight and intelligence. It was really uncomfortable. I would never recommend him. We paid him 2/3 of the contract price and he did maybe half. And that half wasn't even done correctly as we are still fixing the mistakes he and his hired sub contractors made. Really a terrible experience and he was incredibly condescending and rude to his 16 year old helper and me when he decided he didn't want to do the job anymore.

We love the roof we had Bontrager replace on our home and garage. I wish I would have found them…read moresooner!! I wasted too much time waiting for other contractors to get back to me. After a severe storm in our area, we had two large trees destroy a new metal roof we just put on our home and it took out a large portion of the garage roof. At a time when it's hard to find anyone to give you an estimate or return a call.. the Bontrager's were on it in a heartbeat. I had a quote in a few days, not weeks and they scheduled the project as soon as the materials came in, because we had an area on the side of the roof where rain, bees, etc. could enter in, so we were given top priority. Not only did the metal roof and old shingles need to be replaced, (which both structures now have metal roofs) the overhang and rafters of the roof needed to be repaired too. They are affordable, efficient, friendly and the work they completed in 7 hours was amazing. I will refer Bontrager to anyone needing a roof or any carpentry done. Thank you

Debbie handled the job just fine, she's a very professional and high quality painter. She took care to cover everything and we saw no spatter marks anywhere. Her up front pricing was very competitive and straight forward, leaving me no guess work between the quote and time the work was completed on what the final price would be. I strongly recommend Debbie's Painting.

Having owned 3 older homes in 40 years, I've had to deal with contractors on large and small…read moreprojects. After too many frustrating experiences, I am so glad that a friend recommended Van's when I needed replacement windows in 2009, and I was so happy with that experience I hired them again in 2013 for siding. Here's the difference between Van's and pretty much everybody else I've dealt with: they provide customized professional work for less than what the amateurish one-size-fits-all companies charge. Not allowed to name competitors, but in windows and siding you know the companies I mean: big names, lots of advertising and phony discounts (that is, jack the price up so they can give you 20% off) mostly job the work out to fly-by-night or untrained subcontractors. Van's pays great attention to detail and like I said, customizes the job. Maybe that customization isn't so important on a 10-year-old house, but is sure is on a 60-year-old one. Every one of my windows was a slightly different size, and needed finesse to make them look like originals. And the siding job required similar skill. I can't recommend them highly enough - and I"ll never use anybody else!

The employees who put our window put dents in our aluminum siding which was impossible to find to match since the aluminum siding was at least 20 years old. They actually thought it was ok until I showed the salesman.It wasn't being picky it was unbelievable I then actually watched them as they worked and inspected their work. I had them do things over because of their sloppiness .I guess dents in new trim are acceptable. After they left, I found more damage(more dents, bent screen) The sloppiest workmanship ever. I would definitely steer clear if I was having work done or if building a new home. The salesman was ok but it must have been frustrating for him. It definitely was a nightmare. Please take my advice, there are a lot of businesses out there who provide good workmanship.
