They did an excellent job on our house and cleaned everything up before they left. They were not the cheapest but the job was excellent and I did not have to worry about checking up on them or the job not being done right. I would definitely use them again with no reservations. Our house looked new after they were through. I was comnpletely satisfied with their work.

I located Estes construction via Angies list.. for Contractors in my general area he seemed to have some of the highest ratings so I called Jeff Estes to come by and give me an estimate on all this work. He showed up promptly when he said he would. After reviewing what I needed he said he would price out the materials and give me a call back the next morning. He called about 10 am the next morning to give me the quote. Being satisfied with the quote, I then asked him to come by again because my wife had added a little curve ball into the equation ( imagine that). She decided over night she wanted another area opened up. Jeff was pleased to come by and look. This additional wall job was non load bearing so he was able to re-adjust the quote on the fly. We agreed on the price which I felt was fair ( I always believe a price should be lower because I am human....but really I thought his prices were fair). Jeff told me he was finishing up a job on Dauphin Island and timing would be right to start on Monday...I had everything ready on my end (pictures off the walls, furniture covered up and pushed away from the walls) Jeff said they would have been happy to help me with the furniture but I believe in preparing...its just me. Jeff said they would be here Monday between 8 & 8:15...they showed up at 8:07 and this was the case each morning. Jeff introduced Joey and Steve to me and they immediatly went to work. They had the walls out, built and installed the doubled up plus plywood 2x12 load bearing beams , and and trimmed out by mid day Tuesday. Jeff's crew were very plesant and courteous. They left the job area in good shape each day. They even cut the sheet rock by hand instead of using a recip saw to hold down sheetrock dust ( don't think this doesn't mean you want get any dust in the house). They went out Tuesday afternoon and removed a very tall deterioated fireplace chase from my roof. and reroofed over it. When we saw how bad of shape the chase was in I was surprised I hadn't had more leaks ( the reason I had it taken off was we have had vent free natural gas logs for 15 years and didn't need a chase...I was ready to get rid of to get rid of this leak miester...they joked that I had a ton of caulk on it....one note , I had some left over shingles from a few years back that I told them to use. Heavy rains came Wednesday when the big outside work was supposed to start so they came Thursday. The north end of my house ( 24 ft off the ground to the peak of the gable) had bad masonite siding on it. I was not about to try and get up there to replace that siding by myself. Jeff noticed a bow in the siding that I had been looking at for 24 years. He said ...we will try to get that bow out for you during the job...they stripped all the old siding off and replaced it with Hardie board siding. They then caulked the entire north end , primed and finished painted the entire job. By the way...they were very sucessfull in getting the bow out...and didn't charge anything additional....I am sure they want the job to look good to my neighbors...word of mouth is the best marketing. There was also another area of the house that had some bad siding that was about 12 foot off the ground...this area was not that big....about 4 boards but they replaced and repainted that also. Just as the job was finishing up is actually when we added the croown molding onto the job...I thought I would surprise the wife as I have been telling her for 24 years I was going to do it....so on the last day Jeff went and found some nice 5 1/2 crown molding and had it installed before she got home. She was quite surprised. (the Crown molding is included in the total price) The pluses about the whole Job!. 1.I was satisfied overall with the price..yes I wish it was lower but in reality I think it was really where I was hoping it would be 2. They did what they said they would do...there were no surprises 3. Punctual...they were there when they said they would be 4. Told me about 5 working days...and they finished in 5 working days 5. the crew was very polite, respectful, friendly, professional, hard working and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. The crew had also been working for Jeff for several years...I think Joey had 35 years experience ...he was the master craftsman and Steve was a painter by profession....they worked very well together 6. They left the place cleaned up each day. 7 They used quality material including quality paint... 8. The lead man on the crew...My observations thru this week of work was that there is this was not Joeys first rodeo..I believe he could do most anything....he started doing this work at 15 years old. I told them when they left that I was sure I would see them again at my house one day I took a lot of pictures hoping I would be able to post a few...but at this point in the evaluation I don't see how to do it.

There is nothing that I dislike. I love everything that he is doing. He is responsive, punctual, and professional.

Their price was too high so I did not go with them.

Everything from time to services rendered were as expected or better. The only issue we had were the measurements were off by a few squares. They didn't charge us for them and absorbed the cost for extra supplies. Jeff was very nice and professional through the entire process. We highly recommend Estes Remodeling for roof replacement.

I said that I would recommend them but that is with reservations for one reason. Overall I was satisfied with their work, the price was reasonable and done in a timely manner. The problem was that one of their subcontractors put a screw through our sat. cable which we had to have repaired for about $160.00. When contacted, Mr Estes said that he would try to reimburse us. We have not heard from him since. He had done another job for us in the past and we were happy with it. We will not use him again. Once again his work was not the problem and we would have used him again if he had made any attempt to be accountable for this problem.

Workmen came, worked hard and were very considerate of landscape plants. When job was complete the lawn was spotless and the house looked brand new and amazing.

. Whenever we call they come out within the day. They are always nice. We would use them in the future.

Estes always does a good job. I have used them many times for at least 10 years.

Mr. Estes and his employes were courteous and professional. They come at the appointed time and do quality work. I have had him do work for me on pevious occasions over the last six years and have always been very pleased. I would definetly recommend him.

Jeff (Estes) inspected job on a daily basis and was in daily communication with me or my wife to give us status of the job. He also gave us valuable recommendations to help us get the design we liked. The old siding was put on after Hurricane Katrina by unqualified personnel and was blowing off during moderate winds. Estes Remodeling had to remove all of the siding and do extensive preparatory work to our house to meet codes and to insure a proper installation of the new siding. In fact, during the remodeling, some items were discovered that were not on the original quotation and he brought them to our attention and corrected at no extra costs to us. The adders that we asked for after the job was started were very reasonable. The employees were all friendly, knowledgeable and keep us in the loop on different stages of the project. I would definitely recommend Estes Remodeling to anyone and will use them again if I have a need.

The job went very well. Jeff was very prompt in getting a crew out here to do the work after we'd agreed to the estimate. The work was done quickly and efficiently.
