Cliff at Aileron Builders did the most wonderful work. My sunroom door and window had rotted beyond…read morerepair and I was afraid to undertake extensive work. I expected horrific wood rot. Cliff, cool, calm and collected, understood my fears and replaced the area with a sliding glass door. This entailed interior and exterior work, exploratory and replacement. He and his daughter worked quickly and efficiently, minimizing the disruption to the household. They protected our interior and carefully removed trim for replacement. The paInt jobs were neat and of high quality. The exterior areas were carefully replaced and repainted, including areas that a previous builder had neglected to finish. As Cliff worked he patiently explained and reexplained everything to me. He listened to me carefully and respected all my wishes. His work areas were cleaned each night, the garden was not damaged, and most importantly, Cliff and his daughter made absolutely sure the cats could not get out during construction. I was completely confident in leaving my home and cats in his care while we were at work. Cliff was also very generous in taking care of small tasks and details that fell outside his job description, such as reinstalling blinds from the sunroom to another room without additional charge and checking on a subborn leak and fixing it. As someone who was very fearful about taking on construction and undergoing a process that I knew would be difficult for me, Cliff took as much time as it needed to explain the work, materials, costs and how he would proceed. For women who are afraid to undertake remodeling and buliding tasks I strongly recommend Cliff and his daughter, Selina. They will take good care of you, your home, and your pets. My house is drier and warmer and the cats love the big new window.

Installed new 18" ceramic tile floors in the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom. In the bedrooms and family room we went with an upgraded pile carpet . Helped me with the decisions on the colors and brought many samples that helped with the design. Installed 5 new windows a sliding glass door and a new front door.

To match the rest of the condo they upgraded the kitchen with LED Caned recessed lights on the ceiling and sprayed on new knock down texture. Dialed in the bathroom installing a high quality cabinet, sink, faucet and plumbing . Painted the inside of the whole condo with a great looking base color and a nice contrast color for the trim and baseboard . No Drama and no surprises with Tim and Alexis. They're quotes on there estimate are to the point, fair,easy to read and understand. Their attention to detail is thorough and the quality of work is solid. I highly recommend Tim and Alexis Foote owners of TAF maintenance and painting company for your home improvement needs.

We chose TAF Maintenance and Painting mainly because 1. His company carries general liability…read moreinsurance and worker's comp. 2. TAF is BBB accredited. 3. He has a team. Tim made sure that he wouldn't start painting the exterior of our house until the unusually rainy Santa Rosa weather cleared up. We had to postpone a couple weeks before the conditions were just right. This gave us time to think about the colors we wanted. We picked two colors for the body/trim but we were stuck on deciding a color for our gutters! Tim took the time to get some samples, give his input, and help us make a final decision. He and his team started work on Monday morning and were done by Friday afternoon. Mon - Pressure washed. Tues - Primed, chalk, remove rotten wood. Weds - Paint front door/side door/garage, replace rotten wood. Thurs - Body color! Paint trim. Friday - Paint gutters, touch up, and clean up. My husband and I were very appreciative of Tim's prompt emails and keeping us in the loop during the whole process. He and his team were nice and professional. We are extremely happy with the care, thoroughness, and quality of work the team put into our house. Thank you, TAF!

We hired Brian Daigle Construction after we lost $100k to a crooked contractor who left our home…read moregutted and in total disrepair while we were in lockdown elsewhere due to covid. I was in a vulnerable position after this experience and desperate to complete my home renovation asap, and Brian reassured me that he would "save my project." I put my faith in Brian and agreed to a lump sum project with a significant portion up front. The contract stated the project would be completed in 6 months, but Brian promised it would only take 4 months. We became concerned about Brian's conduct soon after beginning to work with him. He sent me inappropriate/flirtatious texts while drunk and also revealed to us that his own wife had kicked him out of his house for drinking too much. I had my husband confront him about this and he apologized and reassured us that he would conduct himself as a professional going forward, so we decided to move forward with him. Things went well for a couple of months before the project started to fall apart. Brian was increasingly behind schedule and the renovation was somehow going over budget even though we weren't adding to the scope of the project. We went out of town for two weeks in the 4th month of the renovation and came back to find that the project had completely stalled, and that Brian had "fired" two crew members (later I learned he let them go because he couldn't pay them). I also found out that the last remaining crew member quit because hadn't been paid in three weeks and was owed $2000. I confronted Brian with my concerns that the project was months behind and only a quarter of the way complete although we had already paid him three quarters of the budget. He swore to me that he was going to do right by us, made a bunch of empty promises, and then proceeded not to come to work once for a week straight. At that point I fired Brian and then touched base with all the sub-contractors and the crew. I was shocked to discover the depth of Brian's deception and mismanagement of my project. It turns out that he had pocketed most of the $140k I paid him and failed to make payments to the subcontractors which should have been paid in full at this stage. I also learned that he had instructed the crew to only work part-time because he didn't want to pay them more than that. And the subs expressed to me that they were about to leave the project because he kept putting them off and blaming it on me. In short, he was lying to everyone, he stole funds from the project, and his addiction issues were obviously interfering with his capacity to work. The financial losses I've sustained due to Brian's theft of my installment payments are significant. I rehired all the crew and subs and had to repay them what I already gave Brian to pay them. I gave Brian a chance to make this right and refund me the money he owes me: I allowed him a month and half to recover the funds and I offered him a payment plan. He has refused to take responsibility and even attempted to slander me to his former subs and crew (who aren't buying it) and tried to convince them not to work with me. We have been basically homeless for a year during the shelter in place due to negligent and dishonest contractors and now we will continue to be without a home for the entire holiday season. It is a shame that this happens so frequently and it's almost impossible to find a trustworthy and reliable contractor. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone and I intend to take legal action against Brian Daigle Construction as well as file a complaint against his license so he cannot do this to anyone again.
