Description of Work: . On five (5) separate occasions, failed to return telephone calls when placed by customer, even when telephone number left with message to company.. On three (3) separate occasions, failed to correctly list project, e.g., refused to use clear tongue and groove redwood, when asked to do so by customer. On the fourth (4th) occasion, customer had to correct and partially re-write correct quote, as company could not do so.. CMRS miscalculated the amount of lumber necessary to complete project, therefore old wood from previous fence was used alongside new wood in new fence.. On three (3) separate occasions, failed to report to customer when arriving for work, when previously asked to do so.. Took four (4) separate vists to remeasure 6 foot by 10 foot fence.. Items were omitted from the company's estimate.. Used stain on new wood when told and clearly expressed in the estimate to use clear polyurethane sealer.. New wood with splits were used in the construction of new fence.. Numerous hammer marks left in wood fence.. No receipt was provided for wood and materials used in the construction of the fence.. Project was cancelled upon near completion by CMRS which left customer to subsequently locate a carpenter to complete the project..This was the second occasion that this company was used and in both experiences, CMRS failed to attain and sustain an acceptable level of quality and service.

Response from CMRS Construction
Cmrs has done a few jobs at this location for Joel Standard who hired cmrs. The first job we did with this association the member call the owner some nasty names and implied we were taking advantage of them.. I let that one go as everyone was happy. The association hired cmrs again for this job..... We gave them a time frame when we could be there....he was not happy ...he called work some very nasty names because he was not doing what he wanted. My guy called me and said he is leaving...He did not need to call my guy names... He called me and left some rude message... I spoke to joel and said deduct some money i will not go back to a customer who is verbally abusive.... They are happy with the fence

I think there is some confusion we installed a bi fold accordion door in August 2010, and in June 2010 some odd jobs, we did not do any work for the client in 2011, I will check the scope of works for the June 2010 project to see what we did, we have not had any requests for any warranty works since 2010, its now Feb 2012.

Description of Work: Showed up on time for scheduled appointment for quote, usually came to work about 10:30 looking as though he just rolled out of bed. Left about 12:00 (I presume for lunch); maybe came back or sent helper. All work done was of poor quality. Did not finish, so we sent a fax saying we would forgo the gutter painting if we would come back and fix the garden gate (he installed), so that I could open it; this was February 23rd and we have never heard from Daryl or Liza. They quality of the work done was inferior at best. How did this man get all those A's? This all transpired over 3 months, very slow as well as sloppy. My experience with other people on the list you provide was also disappointing. One phone number never answered, one had a recording saying he was not taking work. One made an appointment, but forgot to show up.

WELL I GUESS THERE HAD TO BE ONE "A BAD REPORT" AND HERE IT IS!! UNFORTUNATELY THIS PROJECT STARTED OFF NOT WELL FROM THE BEGINNING, THE FIRST DOOR WE ORDERED FOR THE MEMBER WAS THE WRONG SIZE, THEN WE ORDERED A REPLACEMENT FROM HOME DEPOT, IN FACT THEY SCREWED UP THIS ORDER 3 TIMES CAUSING CONSIDERABLE TIME DELAYS AND A LOT OF FRUSTRATION BY BOTH PARTIES, WHICH WE COPIED HER ON, SO SHE KNEW IT WAS OUT OF OUR HANDS. WE COMPLETED PAINTING HER GATES, SHE MENTIONED SHE WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE FINISH SO WE RETURNED AND RE DID THEM, AND IT APPEARS SHE IS STILL NOT HAPPY WITH THEM, THIS WAS THE SAME WITH THE SANDING AND PAINTING ON HER WINDOWS AND THE NEW BACK GATE WE MADE HER, WE WENT BACK MORE THAN TWICE TO RE DO OUR WORKS AND ENSURE SHE WAS HAPPY. THE MEMBER HAS VERY HIGH AND UNREASONABLE STANDARDS AND I DON'T THINK WHATEVER WE WOULD HAVE DONE WOULD HAVE ENDED WITH A BETTER REPORT THAN WE RECEIVED. SHE IS EVEN DOWN ON ANGIE'S LIST AND OTHER TRADES PEOPLE. WE DID NOT RECEIVE HER FAX OF 2/23 REGARDING THE GUTTERING. AND UNFORTUNATELY JUST PUT THE ENTIRE PROJECT DOWN TO BAD LUCK. WE ARE VERY SORRY SHE WAS NOT HAPPY, IT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE WAY WE LIKE TO DO BUSINESS OR LEAVE OUR CLIENTS.

It went very well. Daryl's price was reasonable (right in the middle of all the other offers). He was on time, cleaned up and answered all of my questions. This was the first job he did for me, and I have already hired him for a second job. An added bonus, he was great with my new puppy, a 9-month old German Shepherd mix that I had just gotten two days before Daryl came to work.
Description of Work: Daryl patched drywall that was left unfinished by a contractor who abandoned the job. He patched several windows, outlets and small spots such as cracks and water damage. He fixed a large hole in a closet wall and finished the closet opening with drywall.

He did a great job. It took less than a day and the cabinet looks great. Daryl takes pride in his work, and the mesh material I provided him to use so the cabinet had airflow didn't work particularly well. He offered some suggestions to try to get it looking really good. In the end I went with what I had, but I appreciated that even on a water heater cabinet he cared how it looked and wanted to give me options. He used great problem solving skills on this, and it was painless for me. An added bonus is that he is great with dogs, even energetic, large puppies like I have. This is the second job he has done for me, and I will definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: Daryl built a cabinet to enclose my water heater using parts from the Ikea kitchen line. This was left undone by a prior contractor who abandoned the job, so Daryl came into someone else's mess. It was particularly challenging because he had to use melamine from Ikea kitchen line so as to match my Ikea kitchen line.

AAA. Daryl returned my call promptly. We had a very limited time frame due to the scheduled carpeting. Daryl appraised the site immediately, emailed a quote promptly, and fit us in to his very busy day. In fact, he started the job after a morning job, brought a 2nd worker and completed the job quickly and more efficiently than the original builders. He was extremely knowledgeable about flooring as well as other aspects of construction. He is intelligent as well as pleasant.
Description of Work: The hallway of our condominium is going to be recarpeted. The flooring under the carpet seemed to move and squeak. Through bad original construction, the plywood flooring had to be secured.

Daryl was very responsive and professional. The fact we haven't selected him to do work has more to do with coordination of all subcontractors and timing of work. He was great at returning emails and showing up exactly when promised and giving prompt prices.
Description of Work: Daryl gave a quote. We still haven't chosen a contractor yet. The job entailed hanging and finishing drywall in a basement remodel.

I needed to have my back deck replaced as it was in terrible condition and very old. Daryl answered my call and came to check out the situation. I accepted his bid and he and Randy started to tear the deck down. They removed all the debris. They actually designed the new deck as I wanted a few changes made from the original. Daryl was very helpful as I wasn't totally sure of my decisions. They both worked very hard, long hours. Sometimes in very inclement weather. They arrived when they said they would and got the job done quickly considering the weather and the Christmas holidays. Daryl and Randy were very pleasant and easy to deal with. I will definitely use their services again!
Description of Work: The deck at the back of the house was in very poor condition. Daryl and Randy demolished it, cleared it away and built a new deck. The deck was then given two coats of stain.

Response from CMRS Construction
IN FACT THIS IS NOT 100% CORRECT, THIS LADY IS QUITE DEMANDING, HER JOB VERY SMALL BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WE WERE CONCERNED THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE DID, THAT SHE WOULD NEVER BE HAPPY, AND THAT PERHAPS IT WAS BETTER TO LET THIS SMALL JOB GO. THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE GET BACK TO CLIENTS PROMPTLY BOTH FOR THE INITIAL CONTACT AND THEN FOR THEIR QUOTATIONS. WHILE WE ARE DISAPPOINTED TO READ THIS REPORT, CONSIDERING THE 100'S OF PROJECTS OVER THE PAST MONTHS, TO HAVE ONLY ONE NEGATIVE WE FEEL IS ACCEPTABLE.
