Dakota and the other staff members were professional, knowledgeable and polite. Some issues in construction extended the time that it took to finish but Joel was constantly in contact with me letting me know about the progress. If there was ever a question about something, Joel would personally visit the site to make sure everything was correct. Easily the best experience that I've had with a contractor. Thanks Joel!

My wife and I are so happy we choose N J W Construction for our remodeling project. …read more It was the best company (bar none) I have ever had the privilege of working with. They removed the wall between my dining room and great room. removed the windows above the balcony (4 huge windows) repaired the leaks that had been leaking on occasion, replaced the drywall in the dining rm and hung three lights above the counter top. I could not be any happier with the job that was done. I haven't gotten the final bill yet so I might change my mind ( just kidding) lol.

This review will never do justice to the Dave Richards Home Improvement Co. We were quite hesitant…read moreto even start such a large construction project in our home. We had never had this level of work done within our home. Ashley (Project Manager) and Dave were the 2nd company to submit a bid on our basement remodel (thanks to Angi's List). They came in with very impressive ideas and were extremely transparent with cost figures from the get-go. Meeting Ashely and Dave felt like meeting long lost members of our family. We had a rare comfort level with them right away. The demo of the basement started right on schedule. The team that worked on our basement were comprised of diligent, respectful professionals that kept us updated at all times. Mikey, Tom, Flavio and Pedro (and wife) did exceptional work. We have received many compliments on the quality of their work. From demo, drywall stage, painting, all of the electrical work that Mikey orchestrated like a conductor of a symphony, to the final touches once carpeting and granite were installed - we could not be more impressed with their hard work. We do want to add - that Mikey can do ANTYTHING!!! His talent knows no end. The crew discovered an issue that required immediate resolution after the demo stage and Dave and Ashely worked quickly to determine the depth of the issue and remedy promptly and fully disclosed all costs of the additional work. Not only did they make the big parts of the remodel progress in a smooth manner, but they also think of all the little details that may not pop into your mind during a remodel. Ashley was on top of every minute detail. She noticed the little things that should be addressed for the room to be cohesive. Ashely is a wonderful communicator - always providing updates on next steps, when to expect the next work crew, assisted us with purchasing appliances for the bar area, etc. She thinks of everything. She is an exceptional project manager. She is very supportive and encouraging to her team - everyone that worked in our home was polite, thoughtful and determined to include us and our wishes on each step of the remodel. The job was finished promptly when promised. The most impressive quality of this wonderful team is that nothing was ever "completed" without being done meticulously and looking perfect. There are never any short cuts - it was top notch professionalism the entire project. We would never consider seeking construction work with any other company. We have some plans for a next project - and we will be reaching out to Dave and Ashley and their amazing team - no doubt!!!!

Of the various contractors that I have used for projects around our home, Dave Richards Home…read moreImprovement is the supplier we are most comfortable endorsing to our friends and family. We had gotten multiple quotations to have our basement finished, and their quotation was competitive versus the field. However, what I think makes this team stand out versus others: 1) Speed: The team works quickly to get the job done with minimal days on site, basically working as long as it was convenient for us. We have a young daughter, so having the crews end work so she could sleep was huge for us and they were always respectful of our home and time. While we ran into a few snags with materials, Bruce communicated with us throughout the process and ensured we got what we needed. 2) Flexibility: When we asked to make some adjustments throughout the build process as we saw the framing or other items go in, they were able to accommodate them and actually worked with us to ensure we were happy with the result. Flabio, the framer, came out a follow up time to change some of the soffits for us, not because he had done anything wrong the first time, but because we preferred the look of framing out our soffits slightly differently after looking at them for some time. While I am sure they do not want everyone constantly changing the scope of the job, I truly felt they wanted us to be happy with the basement and did not force us to continue with an initial plan just because it was what was written at the very beginning. While other suppliers may have had more elaborate drawn up plans, the flexibility Dave Richards afforded was actually more valuable to me as the ability to make adjustments when we saw how things actually looked in our basement was helpful. No plan on paper can substitute this and Dave Richards did not throw change orders at us even if we asked for some small adjustments. 3) Transparency: They did not nickel and dime us after their quotation was done. We also had the ability to provide our own fixtures if we wanted. Alternately, they passed through their discounts on fixtures (e.g., toilets, vanity, shower) from Lowes directly to us. I would guess other companies would charge retail prices and keep that margin for themselves. Any incremental costs we paid above the first quotation were from an explicit request we made (i.e., asked to replace some standard doors with glass doors) and we were provided with a quotation prior to any invoices. 4) Clean: Their team always brings drop cloths to protect the rest of our home when working and maintains good communication with us throughout the day. They also cleaned out materials and even when leaving the worksite day to day, vacuumed and organized tools and materials for the following day. Mike, one of their team leads, even saw a small paint drop on our main floor (where they were not working) and offered to help us get it off. 5) Integrity: Based on the points above, we just feel that Dave Richards Home Improvement is the type of company and team with whom we want to do business. Hardworking, capable, and respectful teams that just want you to be happy with your project and done at a fair price. As a fairly sizeable project for us in terms of scope and spend, we were happy to do it with a company that worked with us to ensure we realized our vision for our basement and was not looking to get every dollar out of us that they could. Bottom line, Dave Richards and his teams are just good people and the type we love having in our home. We will definitely be calling Bruce at Dave Richards Home Improvement anytime we have a home project and would recommend them to others for any of your home improvement needs. A special Thank You to Bruce, Mike, and Flabio for their hard work and professionalism throughout the project.

Over the past couple of months my parents and I were looking to remodel the main bathroom at our…read morehouse. We got a couple estimates at the end of covid, but waited to get a couple more estimates. I looked on Yelp and saw that Firelands construction had a 5 star rating and responded very quickly for estimates. I sent them a request and they came out and my parents liked him so they hired him. We also had some drain issues which caused them to start the demo earlier than planned. July 17th, we were told there was black mold and we had to leave the house for safety issues. The black mold was in the bathroom that was being remodeled as well as the other bathroom(they back up to each other). Fast forward to July 4th weekend. We were in a different hotel after leaving the air b&b for a week. I get a call saying they are almost done with the entire job. I knew that was a complete lie, because I had been going everyday to check on the house and get the mail. I called the contractor and basically told him he was lying. He showed up at our house so mad because his workers lied to him. Then he had another worker over and was trying to get him to drywall over the black mold. The other workers wrote their name on the floor instead of replacing the subfloor where the black mold was. They put the new flooring over the top of the old sub flooring which was damaged from the mold. He apologized and said they would fix this immediately. Originally, Scott told us that the one bathroom we planned on remodeling would take 10 days. He said he would have a crew out first thing Monday morning after the 4th of July weekend to get the job done. I was really concerned because I did not see much material in our garage. But again, we signed a contract so we really did not think we had any options. Fast forward to July 16th, the Friday the promised to at least have a sink, toilet, and shower installed so we could move back home(that was between the two bathrooms but we didn't care). Then they started pressuring me to have my parents sign the contract for the additional bathroom we needed remodeled. I explained my parents were not comfortable signing anything. Ashley, Scott's wife said she would put that date in the new contract for them to sign. This never happened. On July 16th, at 5pm, Scott came with 4-5 people and did some work. It was the worst quality. They ruined our carpet with paint and grease stains. They swept wood scraps in the hole where the toilet goes. Additionally I'd like to add, that Scott would come for 5 to 10 minutes and say he had to go to Lowe's or Home Depot. He was always leaving to get the supplies that he was supposed to have ordered in June with the deposit we gave him on both projects. July 19th, Monday. I stepped outside and noticed one of my grandmothers rings next to the swing. One of the female workers was messing around outside but I didn't think anything of it. When I saw the ring I immediately went inside to where it was kept in my moms office desk, and the other ring that was with it(also my grandmothers) was gone. I was so upset, but I am working from home and had to finish out my day. Not even 10 minutes later I got a text that my credit card was declined and possible stolen. Long story short, this girl stole two of my credit cards, $300 in rolled change( we had a garage sale and I had it rolled and counted to take to the bank) my grandmothers ring, and a gift card. I filed a police report with the name Firelands Construction provided me. Supposedly she used a fake last name and address when she filled out her application. July 27th. We were lucky to have one worker come to work the last few days. However he wouldn't have been able to do any work because he didn't have any supplies. So we went out and bought everything to finish the project. I would text Scott daily practically begging for the supplies to get the job done. I also need to add that some of the supplies that Firelands DID provide for the project were not even the items we picked out for the remodel. We were kind of stuck and desperate to move back in so we just accepted the items. Scott promised this special order tub we picked out would be delivered on July 27th. I asked him and asked him to get me an order number so I could confirm and he never did. I went to Home Depot and they said there was no way our contractor could have bought that tub. You have to go through Home Depot to get it ordered and installed. Scott then told me rebath would contact me to install. When they called they said it would be 6-8 weeks just to schedule a time to measure and a couple of months for the supplies and for an install date. I would highly recommend hiring someone else for your remodel or construction project. We were jerked around so much and lied to on a continuing basis.

First off, the owner Scott is a really nice guy and very hardworking. This company said all the…read moreright things, but when it came time to deliver they fell short consistently. Hired them to remove wallpaper, paint, remove some built ins, update a basement and restore a fireplace. The first paint job they did had to be redone because it wasn't right and there were people just hanging out in my house like it was their lounge spot. Then we found a water leak which pushed things back understandably, but I was told multiple times everything would be done by a certain date. I said I'm not sure that's realistic but was still told it would all happen by the date. Gets closer to the date, not looking on track, got told a crew of guys is coming out to finish it, and they never show up. Finished a little over a week late with the owner coming out to do the work between 10 pm and 3 am. It was clear they rushed it at the end as the work was sloppy, I had to go back and fix multiple items myself because I couldn't get them back out to complete the work (like window trim that wasn't replaced leaving a hole in the wall, loose fixtures, etc). It was obvious that the project was not a priority for them. I was told after they started work that they just landed an apartment contract and that was their main focus. So if you're looking for a commercial property then I have no clue if they are good or not, but I certainly wouldn't hire them for any residential property work. The final straw and reason I posted the review is the recent pictures on their Yelp profile are fake. The pics that say "remodel" of the bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom, hallway, office... those are all pictures of my house before they ever started doing any work. So if you like the way they look let me know and I'll point you to the company that actually did that work. I was ready to let go of everything else that happened but posting photos of work that isn't yours and passing it off as your own is just shady.
