We were also in the process of removing all the wood paneling from the walls and tearing up the carpet, and he offered to take that project on as well. He provided a very fair quote, maybe even not high enough, and worked hard every day with his team to get the job done in a timely manner. He even uncovered several other problems during the process and his team fixed those as well at a fair price. The new drywall, painting, and flooring all looks great!

TLDR; Dave and Brian have worked incredibly hard on our home over the last few months, and it…read morereally shows! Our home is now modern and beautiful, we are so glad we hired Christensen Construction over a couple other contractors we met with. INTRO: Christensen Construction was referred to us by one of my husband's acquaintances. We had purchased a home in August and wanted to redo the entire kitchen, and make cosmetic updates to all the floors, master bathroom as well as a second bathroom, and the laundry room. Sounded simple at first but what ensued was practically remodeling every room of our home. While we were eager to move into the home as soon as possible, we had to wait for Dave to wrap up another project before starting our project in November. Though that put a damper in our plans, we went with our gut and waited for him instead of choosing another contractor which was the right choice! He was communicative and easy to reach throughout the process via phone, text and email. EMPATHY: Dave was very careful in adhering to our requests, such as my wish to repaint old cabinets instead of replacing them all. Yet he knew when to push us to get some new cabinets when it came down to the matter of quality of the results - some of our kitchen cabinets were beyond repair and had too much dead space - we would gain so much more by replacing them. He gave sound advice and was always flexible with any changes or updates we added to our project. Dave was always a phone call or text away so we could always discuss concerns, updates and questions. He even took calls with us on weekends! The holidays in November and December pushed back our completion date, so Dave worked extra hard to make up those dates to get us into our home sooner. PRICE: My husband and I really appreciated that Dave invoiced us weekly and the invoice would include daily tasks completed so both parties could track the project management. I think this is pretty rare in the contracting industry but it highlighted that we were paying a competitive rate for all the labor performed on our project. The invoice also broke down what materials Dave bought on our behalf with his contractors discount at stores. Later on, the invoices would show a credit back to us after he returned any extra/unused materials. When it came to cutting and installing our slab countertops, Dave subcontracted the project out to a specialist but they did great work together! Having Dave make the introduction to the fabricator saved us time and work, and the subcontractor's price was very affordable for all the countertops we replaced. QUALITY RESULTS: Electrician, plumber, painter, handyman, Dave is a jack of all trades! All the work is clean and you can see a lot of attention to detail has been poured into the project. Walls that were patched were retextured so the patch would match the rest of the wall, faulty or ugly items are replaced or repaired, lines are straight and clean, gaps are caulked. Every step was taken to go the extra mile. While his team is just two men, Dave has plenty of good quality tools to get the work done and in the correct manner. Our house is now Pinterest, HGTV or Architectural Digest worthy but we will let the photos speak for themselves! Below are some of the high level items Dave delivered on our project: 1. Rewired the messy electrical mistakes created by previous owners 2. Added CAT6 hardwired internet cables for the his and hers offices, and TV (a must for those who work from home nowadays in COVID times!) 3. Installed new cabinets 4. Installed new floating laminate floors and kickboards throughout the house and stairs 5. Some plumbing work such as replacing faucets, and more importantly, adding a pot filler in our kitchen 6. Replaced all our our recessed lights and ceiling fans (even on our tall vaulted ceilings!) 7. Took apart, sanded, primed, painted and reinstalled some older cabinets and doors to make them look brand new 8. Retrofitted all 24 of our old leaky windows with new custom windows 9. Added smart switches throughout the house and installed Nest thermostats

We started work with Dave in the spring of 2019 to remodel our two bathrooms. Three months later we…read morewere happy to have Dave and his team come back and remodel our other two bathrooms. Given these two big projects that Dave has done for us, here are a few things we wanted to share about him and his work: Talented and well rounded: Dave is a general contractor, and he can basically do all kinds of jobs, including electric, plumbing, carpentry, drywall and so on. The quality of work can't be beat. Reasonably priced: Dave's quotes are very reasonable and affordable. His invoices are well organized, listing out all the material he purchased as well as detailing the work processes of each day. Great communication: Before the projects started, Dave used his personal time to meet with us and went through all our expectations. He gave us a lot of great recommendations, including relocating our toilet in one hall bath and installing recessed lighting in our living room. He really thinks ahead for his customers. Right before the project start date, we changed our remodeling plan for our master bathroom at the last minute. We appreciated Dave being so flexible and riding this out with us. The master bathroom was finished completely and met our expectations. Whenever we had questions about the project, Dave was always patient and willing to explain. He is very easy and pleasant to work with. I would recommend Dave and his team for anyone looking for a contractor that not only actually finishes the job but takes pride in their work. I plan on hiring them in the future for any other projects that come up.

MTD Scammed us DO NOT HIRE MTD…read moreProvided a price for floor install with 2 bedrooms & bathroom,loft and then decided one bedroom and loft would suffice for contract obligation! We were quoted a job for 60k In April 2022 that we signed contracts for and provided a 20k deposit to start. Todd Disharoon aka Michael Todd Disharoon met with us and we reviewed the entire job. That was last time we saw him. He will send his son to pick up checks. First couple weeks were okay and seemed to be moving along and then Todd asked for more money (this should of been a red flag since the 20k was more than enough for what they had done thus far which was basically installed an unfinished floor. The subcontracted HVAC and electrician then came and did there preliminary stuff and no issues. Todd than tells us a week after we gave him an additional 10k for materials that we need to stop work to get Inspection done by County. He said the permits still have not been approved and this is AFTER the floor was already installed. He told us the county were slow and understaffed. A week later we called the county and Lo and Behold, the county had NOTHING a submitted by MTD. So now he has to scramble to get permits approved and then had to hire his own engineer to approve the work since he did it without county approval. His project manager George (showed up twice the entire 5 months) was telling us that he had to pay an extra 500 For an engineer because of "County incompetence " The entire month of June with no work being done, he sends his subcontractor drywall/painter person. The painter would show up for an hour or two and say he would be back next week and then show up for an hour or two even telling us he was going to the gym first! WTF! The work done by his only actual MTD employees Mike and Austin was not an issue , but you could tell they had no support from Todd and even mentioned that he managed jobs terribly. Mike went to pick up our flooring and came back embarrassed to tell us that the company card account was declined. This is supposed to be a reputable company not to mention we just gave them 30k for OUR materials. So weeks later, flooring finally gets installed and not the sample we gave him from our original floor match but some cheap alternative they decided to use. And the painter used to the wrong color on our rooms and we had to hire a new painter and spend 2k out of pocket to redo the paint job it took MTD over 4 weeks to botch! So then when Todd was supposed to start the other rooms in our project as detailed on our signed contract, I asked him to make sure permits are approved so there are no delays which he says everything was sent to County. We call county a week later because of the first previous lie and guess what? Nothing was submitted by MTD When this point is raised, Todd then tells us he is not completing the job and basically breached our signed contract. He tells us "you got your 30k worth" This is the kind of blatant unprofessional comment he would tell us. Finally, today sept 27, his two workers come back to install closet and bedroom doors which according to Todd have been on Back order for months. They finish up and leave the closet and bedroom door with no hardware and unpainted and visible damage on door. I mention this to Todd and his reply "you can go to Lowe's and pick up a kit and install it yourself " Then he says "why don't you get the company that is working in your garage to finish the work" This is a company I am forced to hire because of Todd's contract breach and he has the audacity to say this to us. Check the BBB; don't be fooled by the BBB accreditation and look over the reviews, Particularly one that is very similar our situation and they been cited on BBB for non-permitted work amongst other numerous violations. BEWARE!!

My wife and I had a shower pan that leaked causing some structural damage to the floor joists and…read moresubfloor. I didn't realize that was the cause until I had called my insurance company and the inspector pointed out the issue. They said it was a maintenance issue and not only was it not covered if I didn't get it fixed my insurance was not going to be renewed. Needing to pull out all the old tile and subfloor we decided we may as well remodel the whole bathroom. I had called a few contractors I had found online and but out of the several I called only 1 ever showed up to the appointment and he apparently didn't want the job because the cost was ridiculous. I asked a few friends for recommendations and MTD was recommended as they had completed a really nice kitchen remodel. I gave them a call and had the owner, Todd, at my house the next day. Todd was great at understanding exactly what we wanted. We had a quote emailed to us that evening which was under budget along with a timeline. He was sure the job could be completed within the time frame that the insurance company required it. All permits were gotten from the City of Forest Acres and after a week of picking our materials work started. All the contractors were very professional and they also knew one another and how they did their job which smoothed the workflow and made everything more efficient. I'm pretty sure that MTD only uses contractors that "play nice" together, which make a lot of sense. The times we had questions (and a few changes) we always got a response within 30 minutes. There was never any drama. Todd has excellent communication skills. The work was finished within the required time and the insurance company renewed our insurance. Huge stress relief! The end result was a great looking, completely updated master bathroom that I couldn't be happier with. The entire process from start to finish was a pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

When I met Gerald (Keileen MG), I got a good feeling in my gut that he was a person I could work…read morewith and one that would do a good job. I did my due diligence, including considering a few other companies - in the end I came back to Gerald for a handful of reasons including value and availability. Description of Job: Respositioning upper and lower kitchen cabinets to open space for a 48" commercial stove, installation of a vent hood, respsitioning electrical outlets, tiling of backsplash, modifying lower cabinet to install a drawer microwave and installing a new single bowl kitchen sink. Gerald and team did a FANTASTIC job. I would say that I am a very discerning consumer, with a keen eye for quality and aesthetics. They tuned into that pretty early on, and as such made choices and recommendations that suit my style and needs. It is always nice to work with someone who is willing to do a little more than necessary for the client. These guys were willing to pick up the appliances from the vendor - no small feat for a stove that weighs 670lbs. I didn't go to the store once. My home was treated with respect and each night they returned it to a usable state for me and my family. I hope in some little way this review is meaningful for Gerald and team, or for a consumer looking to hire a contractor. These guys work hard, they are honest and will give you value for the price you pay. When you see that, you respect it as it isn't always the case.
