L K GENERAL CONSTRUCTION

I shopped around for a reasonable contractor to perform several bank mandated repairs on a recent home purchase. The main projects were new siding on a large detached garage and a new foundation on part of the home. Most of the contractors heard the bank was involved and bids went sky high. LK General listened to what I was working with (a limited budget) and offered numerous options along the way. In addition, LK General allowed me to save money by performing some work myself... something most contractors hate. Even before I purchased the home (or selected a contractor) LK General provided the most time and detail of all the contractors; Spending several hours at my home walking though it helping me inspect it. They even contacted the company who drilled the well to get the soil analysis from 10 years ago. LK General provided me options for saving money as well as design suggestions for utility, function or simply aesthetics. In the planning phases, we had eliminated windows on one section of the project to save money. Once we stared building up however, they highly suggested I spend a little more and put in a few windows... What a difference it makes! Along the way they would also notice other deficiencies in the home and offer design suggestions for the future, or in several circumstances just repair it for me at no additional cost. For example, while the workers were installing siding high up on scaffolding, they noticed a roof vent was bent over from snow. They explained what I needed, and after I picked up the material at the store, installed it for me, saving me the hassle of getting 20 feet up on a ladder in the middle of winter to install it myself. I should add that the bank demanded the repairs be performed in the middle of winter. The greatest of challenges was defrosting the ground for the footings. On my limited budget, LK General proved it's experience and ingenuity with a novel system of heat tape and insulation that defrosted frozen ground 4 feet deep in a few days.
