Work scope: install structural lvl framing on the main floor and basement floor around staircase.
Charged: $12,000
Time took: 3 days
1. No sense of professionalism/consideration of owners' house - they took no care that they are working on someone else's house. They worked until 10pm, which resulted in the neighbors to complain about the noise. They turned on the furnace, so all the dirt and mess blew into the furnace and broke the furnace.
They made a lot of mess they didn't bother to clean.
2. Poor communication - 2 days before the construction start, they asked us to contact the structural engineer. Once they confirmed that they'll need 4 lvls, they asked us for extra money for the materials they did not account in their invoice.
3. Poor quality - have you seen a meme where a painter paints around an obstacle, rather than moving it to do a good job? Because it's 'not their job' ... yes. A lot of those - so we ended up needing to do a lot more ourselves to correct the deficiencies even after we paid so much money. For example, it wasn't 'their job' bridge the gap between the LVL and the existing frame - so now one of our wall is floating on top of the LVL.
Overall, we used this company because the stair company we hired recommended these guys with the short time we had.
