Stan came over, saw my situation and right away knew exactly what I want. He saw that it was very narrow and said he can make it a little wider. While he was there, I mentioned that I want to have my foundation wall finished with stucco. He told me he has a guy who can do that too. Well, I got a couple of other quotes from others and I knew after that Stan was the right guy for the job. His numbers are very reasonable and I can tell he knew what he was doing.

Most importantly, we are very happy with our new porch, recommend LJR highly, and would happily work with them again on any project!

I have used LJR for many projects over the years and they have always done exceptional work. From…read morejobs as small as installing a new bedroom door to as large as overhauling an entire commercial building they can do it all. My favorite thing about working with them is they ask me about every detail down to the exact placement of mirror or the color/type of a light switch. I hate when contractors make decisions without asking the property owner's opinion and with LJR you will always have the final say. They are also very neat and clean and always put down tarps and keep the dust down to a minimum. Most importantly they are meticulous with finishes and will not cut corners. I highly recommend them for any job and I will use them again and again for future work.

I am the 2nd owner of a house built by this company in 2000. While the basic structure is extremely…read moresolid overall, numerous deficiencies in interior and exterior finish work and detail have become blindingly apparent. Several doors have racked over the years, causing them not to close correctly (the striker no longer meets the hole!). A few windows were installed incorrectly and are either slightly racked or hard to open/close. Vertical trim outside windows all over the house was face nailed with common nails, which now bleed rust onto the paint. These same boards are all rotted due to not having been sealed properly during installation. The site-built front railing was made from standard pine and left untreated. The design was horrible from a durability viewpoint as it caught and kept water, with the entire railing rotting to punk after only 10 years. While replacing it, I found rotted wood under the lower siding and trim. This was caused by incorrectly applied housewrap and flashing, and will be corrected in the spring. While cleaning gutters last month I found places where the top braces were never screwed into place, which has caused increasing ice dams and sagging gutters (not to mention bad drainage) over the years. Several neighbors whose houses were built at the same time have experienced numerous similar problems. One (the model home) ended up with an internally collapsed chimney to the tune of $9000 in repairs. The same house's front wall rotted to the point where someone went through the wall when they leaned against it. This was again due to incorrect sealing and lack of flashing. At least three houses on our road (all built by this company) have required remedial treatment for rot behind the clapboards. This is not good construction. In most recent news, an attempt to replace rotted face trim on several windows was impossible when it was discovered the 'trim' was not trim, but an integral part of the window structure and the windows were face-nailed in place. These people seem to do a decent job and the structure/utilities are very well done. But whoever they employ for finish carpentry and exterior trim work is (or was) highly unskilled. If you're building with them, have an expert builder of your own on call to monitor and contact the builder to correct their mistakes.

Design was the areas I was most nervous about and I think that was the part they did best- so many great suggestions for "problem" areas that I was unsure what to do with. They were very patient with me when I asked for numerous drawings of the layout before I was able to decide on the final version. I had a project manager (Dave) who was an excellent communicator. He was there when he said he would be and texting me regularly with needed updates. He was always ready to answer any questions I had as the project progressed. I found him extremely capable of fixing construction issue and then he also coordinated the more specialty workers (electrical, tile, etc) to make sure everything was done in order and the project moved along. Also of importance to me is that they respected my home. They put plastic down to protect the floors and cleaned up debris regularly. They did their best not to impact the rest of my home despite them doing a master bath on the second floor. My only complaints were that the project took longer than they promised. Honestly, mostly not their fault because it was a terrible winter and my project was Jan- April. Home renovations are very emotionally fatiguing so when it dragged out a few extra weeks, I was ready to lose my mind. I would highly recommend them and plan to have them do our kids bathroom in the near future. I am quite surprised by the negative reviews here. My project was completed in 2018 and some of these reviews seem to be older.

DJ and his crew were meticulous in the two jobs they have completed for us so far…read more The first job was a really difficult stain job on bare stairs built into an addition. It required back breaking sanding, filling nail holes and preparation for stain. Then the stain and poly coat both had to be zero VOC for an allergy in the family. DJ worked so hard to make this request happen and look as good as easier products available for an everyday job. The stain color is a perfect match to what I had explained I wanted and the stairs look gorgeous. In the next job, DJ painted the new trim, doors, cabinets, touched up the addition room as well as painted our existing kitchen to tie it all together. He went out of his way to smooth out some rough plaster work from the drywall crew and again remembered to use zero VOC products. The painting work is so meticulous and no brush marks are visible anywhere. And the clean up was as if we had hired someone to come in and clean. Highly recommend Prestige Coatings for any painting and will be using them again soon. Prices are reasonable especially for the quality of work you receive.
