Buyer beware before you sign on to build with LaDuke Construction. To keep it to a minimum, we…read morearen't stupid people but did something stupid by signing Craig LaDuke's solely self-serving "Residential Building Contract." Although we had never built a "custom" home before, we had purchased several homes and condominiums over the course of the last 30 years or so. It did strike us as odd that, although the price per square foot was much more than we anticipated, everything we inquired about doing was always "too expensive," per Craig. Fast forward to the bank appraisal for our construction loan, which came in woefully short, over $150,000.00 short. This, of course, was a giant red flag for us and we were considering not moving forward, even though we had already paid Craig $2.15 per square foot for the( mediocre) plan he designed. The fact that my husband then lost his job was the final blow and we decided not to proceed with building the home. Now keep in mind that not a shovel of dirt had been turned at this point . . . When we told him we were not going to proceed he wouldn't let up. After several phone calls he got the point, but told us we had to meet at his office to "terminate the Building Contract." When we arrived he presented us with papers he expected us to sign, which essentially screwed us out of the remainder of our deposit ($5,000.00) and then tried to extort an additional $32,700.00 from us if we built on our lot within the next 3 years, presumably to compensate him for what he would have made if had he built the house. Throughout our negotiations he touted his "open book" policy which, we found out the hard way is a complete farce. On numerous occasions we requested a breakdown of time and charges to reconcile the remainder of our deposit, but were only given an invoice of ridiculous charges which were actually double billed under different categories and, unbelievably, margin fees of varying amounts were added to each and every charge. The only entries in his "open book cost tracking report" were for project planning and business management fees, besides the invoice for printing charges, to which "LaDuke fees" were also added. The end result is that Craig LaDuke charged us $5,000.00 to tell us what it would cost to build our home, in addition to the $5,000.00 plan fee. He will absorb NONE of his costs of doing business and will pass each and every one along to the buyer. In our opinion, Craig LaDuke is an unscrupulous business man and not to be trusted.

I live down in Ferndale, and in July 2020, our basement got hit with the second round of…read morecatastrophic flooding in the last six years. Cool. After professional cleanup, the headache of dealing with an insurance adjuster, and the due diligence of meeting with multiple contractors to get bids on putting the basement back together, we went with Rentz Remodeling and Contracting. And wow. The difference between someone like Matt Rentz and other contractors we've dealt with has been night and day. A selfish part of me wants to keep this knowledge to myself, in case we need him again, but he's too good NOT to share. First of all, his bid was extremely fair. Since we were dealing with repairs and not an elective home remodel, we didn't have a ton of money set aside. Just what was left of insurance after a not-great cleanup crew charged us through the nose. Matt detailed out everything he would do to fix the basement, with line items for both labor and cost of materials. There was no guessing or having to ask for more detail; he came prepared with paperwork and was always extremely open about what everything cost. Secondly, he and his crew were incredibly polite and professional. In a pandemic, having new people in your house is always a little anxiety-provoking. The first thing they did when they arrived is put up a plastic zip door between the basement stairs and the rest of the house. And they never came through it into the main house. We worked out a system where he would text if he needed to ask any questions, which meant I could go anywhere in the house without worrying that I couldn't hear them if they needed anything. But for the most part, they came and went according to the needs of the work, and I didn't have to do much of anything at all. Thirdly, Matt and his crew are not just great contractors, but good guys. We had a problem with the hose discharge line for our sump pump freezing over during a cold snap, so my husband had temporarily removed it. Matt noticed and pointed out that he'd seen excess water leak through basement walls before, and texted with me about potential solutions we could try ourselves to keep it functional through the winter. Not an upsell--but just because he had knowledge he thought we could use. I'd recommend Rentz Remodeling and Contracting to anyone. (I've already given his name to a few friends.) And the next time we need anything done around the house, these guys are at the top of my list. A++, 10/10.
