We met with them in the late summer of 2022, and were debating on whether not to have this done end of 2022 or first in the spring in 2023. We ended up going with spring of 2023, and were first on their priority list. While the project took longer than expected, and we had some set backs, we were still very happy with the communication. In full disclosure, we did have to have one side of the garage re-done due to some James Harding and a portion of the roof re-done (due to rushed contracting work), we still were really happy with the overall project. Would definitely recommend them again.

Not a single light was installed over the workbench but off to the other wall instead. the sheetrock wasn't hung in any timely matter at all. missing vapor barriers. She told me that they charged her $1500 for electric service connection which she later found out that $300 was what Excel charged Sussel. The subs Sussel uses must be getting shorted on pay for them to do such shoddy and incomplete work. Can't think of any other reason for them to not care about getting it done correctly. She said she has not been successful in getting them to fix anything and they sued her when she tried withholding the last payment. I really feel sorry for her getting taken by a company that really does shoddy work. I've read other reviews about Sussel and it really seems to be about which subs they use. My advice? Hire your own subs. Make sure everyone sticks to the blueprint.

The crew was a great group of workers and all were very polite. In a world where it is so hard to get people to just show up, this whole experience was wonderful. Thanks to Neil and his workers. I would highly recommend Curtis Contracting LLC.

DDK got it exactly right, on-time, and on our budget. Tim, Dave, and Bob are all great to work with, and we will definitely recommend DDK to anyone.

I received a voicemail from their VP one morning asking if they would be able to store some construction trusses on my commercial lot. When I called back, he stated he already placed them there. I waited, letting him speak to see if he would apologize and tell me he'd have them off asap, but no dice. Any construction professional knows where their materials should go ahead of time, within their own workspace, when things are being delivered, and how to move them. I asked him if he would supply me with an email so I could send him a letter. That letter requested a rental rate to store the massive construction materials, or I would move them off. I wanted no issues with the city for materials that weren't mine, didn't have a permit for, and I never asked for involvement in their construction project. The CEO and VP tried to say 'there was a misunderstanding', but there can't be when you don't have permission on someone else's property in the first place, trespassing. They did sign the agreement at the 11th hour, did pay the rent albeit late, tried to correct the sod damage but continued to run over it with heavy trucks at the corner, but these issues others might not want to be involved with. I didn't.

After working with Plekkenpol for over five years and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on…read moreat least three different projects, this is not a review we expected to write. We have referred them to family and friends--three of those referrals have resulted in projects--and until recently, trusted them without hesitation. Historically, price transparency was something they were willing to provide. Unfortunately, something has changed. Most recently, we were quoted $30-35K for a relatively straightforward mudroom remodel and back door installation. When the formal bid came in at a single lump sum number over $40K with some modest scope additions, we asked for additional transparency into that singular number to understand how much each part of the project was costing so we could determine where adjustments could be made. We were told that a further breakdown of the lump sum would not be provided. Over the next two weeks, we removed multiple significant items from the project scope, yet the total price barely changed in response. We asked repeatedly for greater transparency to understand what was still comprising the lump sum price we were being quoted and never received it. At a certain point, the math just did not add up, and it became increasingly difficult to reconcile the number we were being quoted by Plekkenpol with the project scope. When we expressed frustration with the lack of clarity, the response was dismissive and unhelpful. We were told that regardless of project size--even on significantly larger projects--additional price transparency would not be shared and that we should trust them that we are getting the best price. To be clear, this was not about the money--it was about transparency and partnership. We simply wanted to know what we were being charged for. Because Plekkenpol would not tell us how they arrived at their lump sum price, we ultimately chose to end our long-standing relationship and move on. We recently recommended to another family that they consider Plekkenpol, but after this experience, feel obligated to advise them not to proceed due to Plekkenpol's unwillingness to provide transparency in pricing.

We have a large family and, in planning for the future, really needed to convert this area into living space that would be usable for years to come. We reached out to Legacy Homes and they came immediately to give us a quote for the work. The quote was reasonable when compared to other quotes we received from other contractors and they were able to begin immediately with the renovation. There were some real challenges that came with this project as a result of the water level in our surrounding ground and the way the sewer lines were connected to the city sewer but they met each challenge with solutions that were practical and affordable. The project was completed in less than 4 months. We are extremely happy with the renovation! Legacy was committed to giving us the best outcome and was there during the entire remodel to ensure the work was done to meet code and at a quality that made our basement just what we needed and had hoped for. It is beautiful and we couldn't be more happy. If you are looking at a remodel, Legacy Homes would be my first recommendation!
