This builder is very difficult to work with. He will tell you he will be on site every day and work on your project every day, but we did not find that to be the case at all. We asked all the right questions, and he gave us all the right answers. We chose this builder, even though he was significantly more expensive, because of his promise to build on time and be on site every day. He told us he would give us a superior product than his competitors. But, in reality, we found he did not live up to his promises. The building process was significantly more stressful than necessary. He promised to go the extra mile for us--we did not have that experience. Make sure you have a contract that is very detailed and everything in spelled out--leave nothing out. We didn't even get doorstops for our extra money. Make sure you put financial penalties in the contract for missed deadlines. This builder did not meet any of our deadlines and cost us significantly more money by not meeting deadlines. The quality control is lacking. The finishes are not nearly the standard that we expected for the extra $40,000.00 we spent. And we have spent several thousand dollars repairing the builders' work. Ultimately, we were very disappointed with the experience, we spent significantly more money than we had planned, and do not feel that we have anything better than if we had selected one of the builders that were much less expensive.
