PLEASE USE CAUTION: My experience with Espire Homes left me…read morefeeling indignant, frustrated and disappointed. The berating, belittling and gaslighting by the owners was an experience that no one should have to deal with for their first time building a home. Rather than go into in-depth details on issues about the whole process, I just wanted to share insight into one general aspect of our home build. Communication & Customer Service. We had an initial build price but had to deal with various price increases and overages. This is not the issue. The issue is, I simply wanted to know what the cost breakdown was for our house with the additional increases and overages. Once I asked about the overages & cost and requested to see the invoices, the belittling, berating and gaslighting began. Blame was even placed on us for the owner's health issues, among other accusations, due to asking for a cost breakdown.... simply asking to understand/see information that should be openly provided to us. This one aspect of the building experience alone highlights a lack of quality and integrity that one would expect from a home builder when constructing an expensive home. There are other builders who maintain a far higher level of decorum and professionalism. My suggestion as a regretful customer of Espire Homes is to seek out those other builders.

We had to have a bathroom redone for a second time and we called Kowalske in Delafield this time…read more Staci came out and looked at everything and asked questions about how it was done and if we wanted to maybe make changes. She redesigned the entire bathroom and it actually works out better for us. We needed a handicapped accessible bathroom and she was very conscious of making sure we were comfortable with every decision and action from beginning to end. Then we met with Eric, Brittany and Staci to go over everything from beginning to end. They all walked us through everything and how we could track daily updates. Through the process, they communicated constantly to make sure things were going good. Martin was also incredible every time he was here. He was also very conscious to make sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. We couldn't have asked for 4 better people to work with. If we ever decide to update our Kitchen, I hope we get the same 4 people. I would highly recommend Kowalske and their team.

We had not one problem with our complex and large home renovation, and in the end, money was returned to us per the allowances contract. His accounting seemed impeccable and cost structure fair. In our opinion, it is much better than other contractors we've previously used. I believe before accepting any posted negative reviews, a prospective client should conduct their own due diligence. Contact multiple Rigsby Group clients; call subcontractors for information on construction quality, payment history, working and interpersonal relationships; finally research the history of any customer who filed any kind of complaint. What was the level of construction drawing completion at the start of the project. If they were incomplete, could that have created project problems? Have all the contractors/subcontractors been paid for all work performed when the client was responsible to pay? Have other contractors/subcontractors been fired by the client? Has the client filed or threatened complaints or lawsuits against other contractors or subcontractors? if the answer to any of these questions seems wrong might these be unreasonable clients that no contractor could satisfy? With repeated posts/complaints by or on behalf of one individual, could Shakespeare's "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" apply?

I recently hired JA Homeworx, LLC for a roofing and siding project, and I regret choosing them for…read morethe job. While the initial communication was professional, the final result was disappointing. They subcontracted the work, which I wasn't fully informed about upfront, and the quality of the work clearly reflected that decision. The attention to detail was lacking, and even today, if you closely inspect my home, you can still see the inconsistencies in the work. When I reached out to the company to express my concerns--not only about the aesthetic issues but also about water spots and condensation forming on my ceiling--their response was slow. Jeff quickly dismissed my concerns, suggesting I get a second opinion if I wasn't satisfied with their work or that I could refer to the installation instructions. Upon reading the instructions, I found that their contractor hadn't fully completed the job, which added more items to the list. They agreed to come back to make repairs, but the crew that arrived simply removed most of the tape I had placed and poorly applied globs of caulk around my home. I requested another walk-through of my home, and they sent Jordan out. While he was more pleasant and professional, he was still slow to respond and made me feel as though I was asking too much. As of today, four months after the initial work was completed, they've fixed what they could, applied a lot of caulk, and hope they've found the cause of the leak on my ceiling but have failed to address the condensation that forms down an entire exterior wall. Here's to putting this project behind me, while I'll have to learn to accept the poor workmanship, I'm just hoping I don't encounter issues down the road.

We had JA HomeWorx complete three jobs for us totally around $100,00. The first one was great:…read morereasonable price and quality work. The second job had issues throughout the process. First, the work is completed by subcontractors, and while the quality is great, communication is lacking. Jobs are rushed, and details are overlooked. The second job JA HomeWorx completed was at our rental in Platteville for hail damage. The repairs involved replacing gutters, the roof, and some siding. Again, the quality of their subcontractors was excellent, but details were overlooked. The three main issues were that the window flashing was not the correct color, a gutter was placed incorrectly, and water meters were removed and thrown away. They did give me a credit for the incorrect flashing color and helped the city replace the water meters. The gutter issue wasn't fully resolved, but I accepted their solution after it was moved twice. I have attached pictures. The house did not have a gutter running down the front; their subcontractors installed the gutters without knowledge of where the original ones were located. They did make multiple trips to try and resolve this issue, but this job was rushed, and details were overlooked. Jordan admitted that this job was rushed to get it completed ASAP because we were selling the house. The third job was also for hail damage on a four-unit condo building. The one issue was I was promised that we would schedule the repairs so I could be onsite (I didn't want details overlooked again). I was very frustrated that I was not given any notification that repairs were going to be made and only became aware of them when notified by one of the owners who were home.
