I chose this company over a few other general contractors I had met and received estimates for. Jeff and Sam were very thorough and answered all my questions. As a mother of two Veteran sons and Grandson with multiple tours of duty between them, I wanted to support this company as it is a Veteran owned and operated company. I have had three home projects completed by them in the past 2 1/2 months and am very happy with the results! Sam was great on following up during each project and was always available if I had any questions. I love the new French Doors that Brian and Alex installed! Also love the new vinyl plank kitchen floor installed from USA Flooring that Omniverus subcontracts with! I highly recommend Omniverus General Contractors based in Winston Salem on Cherry St! Looking forward to getting a few more projects completed by them in the next few months! Very professional company with great value and work ethic!

Paul Davis bothered to work as diligently to collect money from the insurance as hard as they worked on making preparations to sue me, they may have been able to do what I did. I'm responsible for Paul Davis getting the money they so ineptly did not acquire a contract in writing when accepting a verbal "yes" from the manager of my insurance. claim! You're welcome Paul Davis.... And thank you for the threats, the holding hostage of my property, and the horrible communication of your intent that you would hold me responsible for your employee getting my home without proper documentation to do so. Then, holding me responsible for not getting that proper documentation and sending me notification of having to pay a bill that the insurance was supposed to have approved per all the text you sent me, which is the only reason I said OK. However, I'm still left in my predicament because my home is gutted, I'm still having to deal with the horrible insurance company. My choice of insurance companies is not anyone's fault but my own; however, I would rather have a place to live in a pot to pee in rather than me stuck homeless like I'm gonna be and I do fully blame this company for being in my situation. Thank God, I was able to stop their lawsuit since I was able to get WSOC TV channel 9's investigative reporter to help me in getting those funds for Paul Davis since their employees don't know how to get appropriate documentation prior to gutting someone's home, or at least my home! I will be getting my storage out of their control as soon as possible. Through this, I learned that they we're going to have me pay to have my storage returned to me, but didn't bother to let me know. It had already been paid for them to bring my storage to me or so it appears in the estimates I read through after educating myself extensively on this entire process. I really don't appreciate feeling as though things have not been provided to me in honesty and that is how I am left in complete understanding unfortunately!

I was thrilled when I learned that the company would not only do the mitigation but the repairs as well. Making my life so much easier! Abraham Reyes was the project manager and was always timely, friendly and professional. His team was amazing, I really appreciated their workmanship, attention to detail, and that everything was left sparkling clean. Paul Davis worked seamlessly with our insurance company and we were so pleased with them that as mentioned above they completed a secondary job for us as well.

He arrived as promised, taking a few measurements and making a sketch as we talked. He submitted his quote via email followed by a call in case I had any questions. To say that it was reasonable is an understatement - he came in at a third of the first bid that I received. Amazing. When the work began, Mr. Newcomb arrived with his crew - reviewed the project points and made the necessary introductions. From that point, the work moved quickly and ever so efficiently. Each day the team arrived as promised, worked diligently and only took a break for lunch. Four days later the work was completed and Mr. Newcomb returned for the walk through to inspect the work. Everything was handled with care - from first meeting to review the project to planning the job to execution to finishing and even cleanup. Newcomb Maintenance is a highly professional team with the knowledge, know-how and diligence to get the job done as efficiently as possible. We highly recommend them for any contract work your household or business may need.

I have an old farm house that is always in need of updating. One of the last big items on the list was rebuilding the back porch after old delapadated one was torn out. I contacted several local guys who either were not interested in this small-ish job or were apparently not eager to earn new business. But when I contacted Band Of Brothers, they scheduled a free estimate right away. When one of the owners (Stephen) came out with their estimator (Tim) I was very confident that these were the guys for me! As a single female trying to keep an old farm and farmhouse up, I have to be wary. I immediately felt at ease with Stephen and Tim and decided on the spot to hire them to rebuild the porch. As I stated, it's an old (1949) farm house and things are not always square, plumb or level! Once the work began, Stephen and his crew led by Mario made me feel extremely confident in their work. I am blessed beyond reason by finding them and will hire them for my next big project which will include a patio and 3 season room. I am so very confident in their work that I am writing this review before the porch is finished. I will add finished pictures when the job is complete. I do not have the words to express how much I love these guys! Did I mention that they are the happiest work crew I have ever had the pleasure to work with?!

My experience with Band of Brothers was incredibly frustrating and now the work they completed is…read morefalling apart and they have not returned any of my calls or emails with the attached pictures. The initial planning process and quote were good. They told us it would take 3 - 4 days to complete. They showed up the first day and took out the old screen porch. The next day they were supposed to start installation. The materials never arrived and I was told the Lowe's truck was in accident. It then took another 2 - 3 weeks for them to get the materials delivered, and then they needed more time for another material. They finally began installation. It was evident this crew was not experienced. For example, they put the drink rails on backwards. In addition, there were several areas where they installed materials that were not flush against the house. Note, they did come back and repair those mistakes and communicated that this was a new crew that was not experienced. After about six weeks, it was complete. Not great, but acceptable. Therefore, I paid them in full and they provided a modest 5% discount for my inconvenience. Note, My wife and I were incredibly patient and understanding through the process, never complained and were incredibly flexible, given we have three dogs and it was not easy when workers were on site, may times unexpected. My main issue with this company is after the job was completed. One of the owners, his name was Steven, helped finish the job and addressed our issues. there was some touch up painting that he said he would come back complete. I could have easily held payment until that was complete, but I also understand small companies need to get paid on time and I did not want to hold their payment over painting and I trusted Steven's word he would come back. He never showed. My wife texted and called at least six times and he never responded. While that was frustrating, I can handle doing touch up on my own. The main issue is the attached photos. These are pictures of the posts they installed coming apart, and other areas that are becoming detached. I have sent them two emails in the past two months, the last email with multiple pictures of their work deteriorating. At this point, all I can say is I would hope a company advertising themselves as veteran owned would operate with honor and integrity. that does not seem to be the case for Band of Brothers. I highly recommend anybody considering this company look for other contractors that finish the work complete and with high quality, and are honest operators.

From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. One of the standout aspects was the clear and open communication. Every step of the process was explained thoroughly, which meant no surprises--something I deeply appreciated. I always knew what to expect and felt completely confident in the decisions being made. The owner, John MacMahon, also made a smart suggestion that really impressed me: due to the pitch of my roof, he recommended going with 6" gutters instead of the standard 5". That kind of attention to detail and willingness to personalize the project made a big difference. I can be very particular when it comes to design decisions, and I requested to see multiple roofing samples before committing. He was incredibly patient and accommodating--bringing samples to my home multiple times so I could see them in different lighting and against the house. Thanks to his effort, I truly found the perfect color and style for my roof. When it came time to do the work, the entire roof was replaced in just one day--efficient, clean, and beautifully done. Even more impressive, he was onsite before, during, and after the job, ensuring everything was moving smoothly and done to his high standards. It's rare to see that level of commitment and follow-through these days. If you're looking for someone who truly takes pride in their work, keeps you informed every step of the way, and delivers top-notch results, look no further than Hand Nailed Rook LLC. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend them to anyone needing roofing work!

They came out and checked the breaker and a few outlets...well I checked the outlets. We found an extension cord broken in the front yard. None of that is the issue.

When they got there they hard a very hard time reinstalling the fixture and ultimately decided the transform was blown. The entire time they were at my home (about 30 minutes) they were rushing through the work and you could tell they didn't really have any interest in the job. At one point the Technician took a call from the office and I heard him say in front of me that he was "trying to get out of this job as soon as he could". Once they had decided the transformer was blown they packed up and scooted off pretty much telling me to get another transform and reattach it myself and everything will be ok. So I head off and contact the manufacturer learning they don't make that particular transformer anymore and that I'd have to replace the entire fixture. Obviously this was unacceptable, so I found a new dead stock unit on eBay and pulled the transformer off of it. At this point I hired a different electrician to come and wire everything up for me, as I was very displeased with Ogburn's technicians and service. The second electrician wires in the new transformer and the fixture still doesn't light. He disassembles Ogburn's work and tells me that they had failed to reconnect the light to the canopy properly and that in fact nothing was wrong with the old transformer, the Ogburn technician was just careless. So at this point I've spent a great deal of my time and money replacing things that didn't need to be replaced because Ogburn's technician was in a rush. Now we get to billing, Ogburn sent me a bill for almost 100$ for the work they did, which was 2x as much as the second electrician charged. I called them to inform them that I didn't feel that the bill was justified since not only did they not do the work I contracted them for they lead to me incurring additional cost due to their negligence. I spoke with at least 3 different people at their office who kept telling me the person I needed to speak to wasn't them and that someone would contact me to resolve the issue. This never happened and they instead decided to send me another bill with past due charges. I again called to resolve the issue and they took my info and said someone would contact me but they never did. Eventually I just paid the bill and wrote the experience of as a lesson learned. TL:DR Ogburn does awful work and will lead to you incurring additional cost to redo their shoddy craftsmanship. They are unresponsive and disorganized at their main office as well. Avoid at all cost.

If you need a repair or installation of some kind, this gets you some results and communication with companies quickly. I bought a house in Rural Hall (north of Winston Salem) and it is not connected to city sewer and instead uses septic. Well since I was not made aware when the last time the septic tank was serviced and the average life is 3-5 years I thought it would be a good idea to get this done. I put in the request into the Project bidding and Yelp gave me four companies. Mountain View Septic came back with a response in less than five minutes and then another company in about ten minutes but wanted to talk about the job on the phone. After calling the other company and not hearing back from the other two I agreed to Mountain View's cost for the service. Christian gave me a good cost and had a 10% off on Yelp for first-time customers. We set up a time and I had to delay it due to a meeting I had scheduled. Christian was very flexible on the delay and showed up on time. After talking about the job for a few minutes Christian went about locating the septic tank and then once found, uncovered it and opened it up. According to Christian, the tanks were about 3/4 of the way full so I thought the timing of this service was great. I can imagine a nightmare of waking up in the middle of the night to backed-up toilets. The service was relatively quick and Christian was extremely informative about the septic tank and how it performs. I had no idea that much was involved in the process but he certainly did and it was good information to know about. If you need septic services I would highly recommend Mountain View Septic, although relatively new in the business, Christian was knowledgeable, friendly, flexible on the schedule, and reasonable on the costs.

He also tried to state several catastrophic causes over the phone prior to even evaluating the issue in person.
