We had inquired about a service that we needed done promptly and Jacob responded immediately, this company went above and beyond in providing an immediate solution for us. Jacob and Blake made our lives so much easier and relieved much stress about the situation. I highly recommend this company and will be using them again in future emergencies.

We had the roof of our building collapse, and Kowalski showed up with a slew of people to get the water out and get it dried up. I worked largely with Jason, Jeff and Tony at that company. They completed the job in a professional manner. I'd recommend working with them.

I cannot speak highly enough about this contracting firm. I had a water leak in my home which caused fairly significant damage to the walls and the flooring in my kitchen. Insurance delays caused the project to take longer than anticipated, but the Project Manager (Joe) stayed in close contact with me, keeping me informed of what was going on. Upon completion of the project, my house is in great shape, they were able to rebuild every aspect of the areas they demo'ed due to the leak. Highly recommend!

* HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND! * My house burning down was the worst situation I have ever experienced, and this company made it beyond unbearable. I was unfortunate enough to have a house fire and got convinced to use this company for the rebuild. Immediately after signing the contract with them, I found out how big of a mistake I had made. The company does not care about the customer at all. They were rarely at the site to check the progress. All management that was in charge of the project were only at the house once every 1-2 months to check on what had been completed. I was forced to switch the type of tile flooring, fridge, and cabinets I had already chosen since they would not order the materials until three months after I gave them my selections, which resulted in them being five months back-ordered. The site should have easily been completed in 6 months, and this company turned it into one year and ten months long… When the construction was near completion, Kowalski told me the house was safe to move back into. Then the same night I moved most of my belongings back into the house, the county came by to inspect, and I was told I could not sleep in the house due to major unfinished electrical work and inspections. I was forced to leave all my belongings in the house for another week and move into a hotel. Kowalski made this stressful and sad situation one hundred times more miserable. Then, after almost two years of dealing with Kowalski and their horrid customer service, they changed the amount I owed to them for the rebuild. I had to fight them over this extra charge that was obviously incorrect. I got told by managers that they had made a mistake and added almost $5000 to the invoice, and it was indeed a mistake. Then after I paid all the remaining invoices, Kowalski decided that it was no longer an error and forced me to pay the amount they previously took off and threatened to send my account to collections and void my warranty if I did not pay the remaining balance immediately. I cannot stress enough to stay away from this company and not use Kowalski for any reason whatsoever, in my opinion. Turning one of the worst moments of my family’s life into an even worse situation. I hope this review can save other families from going through such a horrible situation.

Obviously after over 50+ years of customer satisfaction we disagree with Mr. [Member Name Removed]’s statement and the specifics of his postings. All of the time frames involved were consistent with industry standards. We thank you that the correct amount was paid to date exclusive of a pending charge that is under review by Mr. [Member Name Removed]’s insurance company. We have contacted Mr. [Member Name Removed] in an attempt to clarify the events, apparently, to no benefit. We welcome anyone to review our BBB record and our history at the registrar of contractors for the last 50+ years. We understand Mr.[Member Name Removed]’s emotional involvement in the terrible events surrounding the fire and destruction of his home. We did our best under the circumstances of the supply chain issues and labor shortages that have affect not only us but our subcontractors as well and otherwise to put him and his family back in their home with quality work and repairs. We stand by our public records of performance at the BBB and registrars of contractors and the many insurance carriers we have worked with over the decades. Thank you for reviewing our position on this posting

These people are amazing! Around 8:30pm last Friday night, a vehicle came through my back wall, destroyed the yard, everything on the patio, and caused massive damage to the back wall and glass doors of my home. We called for assistance with board-up and their response time was incredibly fast. Andres was first to arrive, and Jacob followed shortly after. I will forever be grateful to their calm demeanor, knowledge, compassion, and work ethic. Shout-out also to Fernando and Anthony whom I did not have the pleasure to meet, but collectively they took a traumatic situation and quickly turned it into something I could process. Believing my two dogs and I would be displaced, they made sure the home and yard were secured enough for that not to happen. And they worked very quickly. Not only did they secure the home, privacy-block the wall, but they cleaned up ALL of the destruction as well. Thank you to Kowalski Construction / 1-800BoardUp, and the awesome crew - Andres, Jacob, Fernando, and Anthony! Y'all will never know the depth of my sincere appreciation for the fact you do what you do, when you do it, they way you do it; your professionalism and kindness. God bless you all. ~Jim

(Copy of email sent on 11/12/12 HTML Attachments were not able to be included in this form) Dear Member, I received notice from our account salesperson from Angie’s list that we had a unfavorable report on our company, Kowalski Construction, Inc. Please see below The Angie’s List representative was not able to inform us of the method you used in your attempt to contact us. I reviewed our computer system, our back up system & spoke to the 4 people who receive new customer requests and was none of which provided any information of the contact. The representative told me that he would request a reconfirmation from you to verify that there wasn’t a mistake in the posting of the above report. I then reached out to every person in our company to see if by chance you may have called in to a company cell phone line but again, nobody had any information on your request. Since then I have followed up twice with Angie’s list and my assistant, Rebecca Loy did once as well. It was only today, during my follow up with Angie’s list that Dan informed me that your inquiry was via their website. Their records show that this was sent directly to my email address. I was quite surprised by this and searched my Deleted and Archived Deleted folders for any and all correspondence from Angie’s List but did not find it. Please see below the list of my Angie’s List Correspondence. You will notice that your email was not found in my Deleted folder. Search criteria is “Angieslist.com”. I then surmised that perhaps your message to me had been caught in my Spam Filter. At that time, we utilized a company called SpamSoap to filter incoming messages. Rebecca contacted them today to see if they could determine if the email was caught in their filter. They no longer have any information on our account since we recently change to another service. I then searched my daily spam reports from SpamSoap beginning the day BEFORE you sent your email & ending 2 days AFTER in order to see if it showed up in any of the reports, however as you can see by the reports below, it did not. Spam Quarantine Report for 8/20 & 8/21 Spam Quarantine Report for 8/21 & 8/22 Spam Quarantine Report for 8/22 & 8/23 I apologize for the lengthy email, however I wanted to provide you with enough detail for you to understand that we didn’t intentionally not respond to your inquiry. At this point, even after my investigation, I can offer no explanation as to what happened to your email to me. I do feel it is important however to respond to you and to inform you of our efforts. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you but hope that our efforts meet with your approval. Should the need arise, we would hope that you wouldn’t hesitate to contact us and we would look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate why our company has been in business for over 45 years. Should you desire any additional information, please feel free to contact me directly. Cc : **** – Angie’s List : Rebecca L. – Kowalski Construction, Inc. Sincerely, Jim James R.
