Description of Work: I had them come out for an estimate. The salesman was persistent in wanting us to sign a contract right then. The price seemed high to me so I had a second estimate conducted. I got the same sliding glass door for 1K less.

Response from Approved Contractor Inc.
The Big Deal was specifically for windows. This particular customer wanted a patio door which we charge at regular price. We apologize if this wasn't clear, however the deal does indicate that it's 50% off "WINDOWS."

Description of Work: I had extensive peeling of the exterior stucco on my single level residential home. Loose stucco was removed by hydro blasting and painstaking physical removal. Rotted fascia boards removed and later replaced. Stucco was redone in places. Flat areas and trim paint/sealed. Hard working crew did a remarkable job, my neighbors love it, as much as I do.

Description of Work: The work was contracted out to local painters. They sanded most areas of the home. They covered certain areas with a protective patch paint. Replaced dry rot boards on the front of the house. They painted the primary home, front porch, and eaves.Initially, there was no issue. But a problem did arise when the materials did not arrive all together and the communication wasn't provided to us. However, once the need for communication was brought to their attention, things improved quickly.

Description of Work: Communication is a problem. "Week of" does not say which day. Workers arrived and we were unprepared because we didn't know they were coming. RESTUCCO is a misnomer. They hydro washed and patched and painted old stucco. Patching was fine with a couple of small areas they missed. Workers were good. Clean up just OK.

Response from Approved Contractor Inc.
This review doesn't accurately reflect what occurred. Please see below. Contract signed on 2/2/15. Contract indicates a start date of late February/early March 2015. Customer contacts us via phone in late February indicating she isn't ready. Project begins late April per customer's request. I send email indicating we will start week of 4/20/15. We start on 4/20 but can't reach customer by voicemail or email. Leave multiples messages without a return phone call. Call following day and leave additional messages. On the 2nd day in the afternoon we finally reach customer and indicate job will be finished no later than tomorrow. Job is complete and customer makes final payment. Owner contacts customer and confirms with son work has been completed to their satisfaction. In summary, work was completed on-time and on-budget. Thank you.

Description of Work: We purchased a Big Deal offered for the re-stucco of our house for $2999.00. We decided not to go with this contractor as, quite frankly, we did not trust him. We had additional work that we wanted the contractor to do and expected his quote to come back higher. However, he itemized his quote and the re-stucco portion of the quote came back $3000.00 high than what was advertised. The total quote from this contractor ended up being over $10k, which was considerable higher than other contractors that we received quotes from. After reading some of the reviews from other members, it was apparent to us that this contractor uses these coupons as bait for business and then changes the price upon quoting. Our house is a single story and only 2000 sf, so the increased quote had nothing to do with our house being much larger.

Response from Approved Contractor Inc.
The promotion he found online doesn't include sandblasting, trim painting or removal of existing wood siding; all things the homeowner needed done based upon his scope of work. Also, we don't use the coupon as bait, rather we provide an honest savings for the first 1800 square feet of exterior wall space. If the house exceeds the square footage and/or the scope of work advertised additional costs will occur.

Description of Work: Jarod made a fair and detailed estimate of the work needed to repair and restain our wood siding. His crews were hard-working, efficient and skilled. They communicated with us throughout the 10-day job, and they cleaned up each day before they left. We are very happy with the outcome and highly recommend this company.

We have no record of this homeowner in our database. (removed member's name)wasn't visited by owner on 3/24 as indicated in her comments. Also, it's extremely important that consumers read the fine print which indicates interior square feet is not the same as exterior square feet. The promotion is always represented in a fair and honest fashion.

Description of Work: They power washed the entire house, repaired all the missing stucco, and matched the existing stucco, then painted the entire house and all the eaves and roof trim. They were on time, worked hard, and did everything they promised to do. The company president, answered every email and phone call at once.

Description of Work: Jared and Approved Contractors did a very good job. They applied primer base and new stucco to my house and nearby walls. I recommend them. It took a couple of visits to get some relatively minor items on the punch list taken care of after the job was supposedly completed, but they kept their promise and arrived on time to do the corrections. They were also careful with the landscaping and other things around the work area. It's clearly a company that understands the importance of good customer relations in succeeding at business.

Description of Work: It went well. We were in the bid process. We elected to use a previous window manufacturer we had used to match the outer trim on the lower floor windows on the back of the house we had already replaced. Approved Contractor inc was very professional and their communication was very timely. Their pricing was a value as well. I will consider them again when I work on the front of the house. Marc.
