He was on time, professional, down to earth and took time to answer our questions and explain options to us. He also recommended a structural engineer who was very helpful as well. There were so many issues with the home that we did not go through with the purchase but we were very impressed with Butch and his level of knowledge and the model in which he does business. When we find the house we want, we definitely plan to contact Butch again and use him for our construction needs.
Description of Work: We were in escrow on a fixer upper house and were looking for ideas and high level estimates of costs. Butch spoke to us on the phone, and then came out to meet us at the house and walked through options. He gave us ideas and ballpark estimates. It was very very helpful and he was very knowledgeable. He did not charge us anything for his time and help.

We met with Butch for an estimate to remodel our kitchen Butch was very professional and was receptive to our ideas. He came up with a number of his own suggestions and creative ideas as how the work could be preformed and when. He gave us his full attention during a + two hour interview and took a very professional approach to our requests. We didn't use Butch as a family member surfaced with a contractor's license and we thought we should use the related party to keep peace in the family. If that party had not come into the picture Butch would have won our business.

Just as he did for his previous renovation project, he took such care with passion and integrity. My favorite is the gas fire pit. I showed him a square cereal bowl and told him that is the shape of the fire pit that I would like to have. In the matter of a month or so, I had a fire pit, even better than how I pictured it, yes in the shape that I wanted, matching nicely with the beautiful stone walls in front of the house that Butch recently worked on. This is what I like about him and the reason why I cannot go with anyone else when it comes to designing. He really wanted to know what I like, had me drive around look at different landscapes, research about what sort of plants I like, then discussed with me various times as both Butch and I came up with new ideas to incorporate to the project. I watched what I pictured in my mind become real. It was very uplifting process. I can say the same about the remodeling project. I feel a sense of ownership and closeness to everything that Butch worked on as he let me get involved in the process of it from the beginning to the end. I am still mesmerized by the beauty and perfection of his work. Consider yourself lucky, if you can manage to get him. Good luck with your project!

Butch Fischer is a highly-experienced professional. He is easy to work with, communicates well and follows-through along each step of the project. If I had questions about anything, he walked me through it and made sure I was comfortable with everything. Butch's sub-contractors are very experienced as well. They also communicated with me pretty well and accomodated my work schedule, etc. (when needing access to my garage). I strongly recommend Butch for your construction, remodeling and other project needs around the house. I plan to work with him again in the future.

We have done several remodel projects with Butch Fischer and each and every time our experience with Fischer Construction was fabulous! Butch Fischer is meticulous, reliable, trustworthy, easy to work with, and highly intelligent. He provided us with great project and lay out design. Most recently he designed and remodeled our Master bedroom and bathroom. We had an idea of what we would like, and Butch give it to us on steroids - better than we could have imagined. He treats every project as if it were his own. Butch is a superior craftsman himself and expects no less from his workmen. The building inspectors are always extremely impressed with the quality of his work and have commented ?Butch makes my work easy?. We can't recommend him enough! He's also the best finish carpenter that we?ve ever worked with ? his work is exceptional. Because Butch pays such attention to detail, we?ve come to coin his exceptional attention to detail as the ?B.S. factor? - Butch Standard factor.

When a flood occurred in my condominium because of a neighbor's toilet overflowing for 12 days, my floors in 6 rooms needed to be redone which didn't involve too many decisions--just new floors. However, the kitchen needed work top to bottom. Water had penetrated the walls and cabinets and 6 weeks of drying fans didn't dry it out. A friend recommended Butch Fischer at Fischer Construction and said he would do excellent work and that I would be pleased. Never being involved with any construction projects, I was concerned about many things: cost, choices, cleanliness and timeliness. As important as those factors were, I was most concerned about trust--having people working in my home when I wasn't here. When I originally spoke with Butch, he helped me understand the process and made it very clear what to expect. He allayed my fears and the work began. I found he process fascinating, precise and surprisingly clean. Fischer Construction delivered. It did not take long for me to have complete confidence in their work and change suggestions. I let them have a key so I didn't have to be there every day. I trusted them completely. I made a big mistake in ordering the flooring and carpeting for the entire house. Oh, how I wish I had Butch's crew take care of that, too. I soon had the experience of what shouldn't be done. Even though this was not part of his job, Butch was able to help minimize the problem and helped me address the other vendor on my behalf. Fischer wasn't the least expensive quote I received but the the old axiom of 'you get what you pay for' was certainly true in this case. My money was well spent. My recommendation is unequivocal -- Fischer Construction is just the best. I actually enjoyed the process and do not hesitate to recommend him for any construction project.

We called them and they came out. The fellow was very nice and very responsible. He gave a quote and it was higher than we wanted for a particular bathroom. We said that would be about enough to put in a garage, we didn't know, and so maybe a garage would be doubled and he said he could put in a garage for the same price. But it was just a particular bathroom and for some reason it was high and way beyond our budget. We were just really trying to upgrade and kind of get ready for an inspection, so we didn't want to make a whole lot of major changes. But he was very responsive and a very nice gentleman. And when I asked him about the garage, he went out and took the time to take a look at it and said where he thought it could be placed and what he felt how much we could possibly put one in for and we really appreciated that. He certainly seemed very willing to be helpful and cooperative. He seemed like a nice guy and so if we do get around to do a garage we certainly might be calling him.

Fischer Construction Inc. does great work. We were doing a lower end fix and flip type of project, and he's really high end, so we didn't end up going with him. He's meticulous. He will go in there and make sure that you're not going to have to remodel again for 30 years. You're not going to get moisture issues. He showed us a couple of his other sites that were close by to the property we were looking at. He took the time to show us around the type of work he does. He was honest enough to tell us it probably wasn't his type of project. If you want a luxury home and you want it done correctly, he's the one to call. He's not the guy for you if you're just trying to do a quickie fix and flip. He was honest about the type of work he does and we didn't waste each other time.
Description of Work: We consulted him for a bid for some general remodeling work but it wasn't really the type of work he does.

Butch arrived on time and went directly to work analyzing the situation. He was very informative as to his observations while inside the addition, pointing out all the things that indicated the settling. Butch then crawled under the addition to inspect the construction quality as well as have me bounce the floor while he was watching for any problems The visit ended with Butch making suggestions as to the plan of action we could take and left it up to us to decide if and how we wanted to go forward. We haven't chosen a direction to go yet, but if it requires professional help Butch will be at the top of the list!

Inability to communicate is probably what many people experience while working with contractors and alike. What makes Butch Fischer stands out is his ability to communicate, keeping things straight, involving you in every step. He had a really cool set up for communication. He had a headset, which enabled him to talk while working. Our communication was done mostly by texting. He spoke into his mouth piece which converted into texts. When selecting bathroom fixtures, we exchanged ideas mostly via email by sending photos that I took in stores or items found online. Simply amazing! We were communicating on daily basis during the whole six month! Butch has a remarkable taste?elegant and sophisticated, yet willing to try something completely new and bold. He treated every single room that he worked on with great care and treated them like art pieces. He is very meticulous. He made sure everything was done up to his standard, and everyone worked under him did what he demanded even if that meant they had to redo their work or order parts that weren?t satisfactory to him. You can check out the photos from http://fischerconstructioninc.com/Gallery.aspx. The bottom line, I would recommend him to anyone who needs a talented, reliable, honest contractor. Butch texted me one day after having (what I thought was) disagreement, ?Your satisfaction is my command! It?s your money, and my job is to provide you with quality decision?..? He is absolutely passionate for what he does. He transformed our house into our house that we truly admire. Again, I say, consider yourself lucky if you can get him. Good luck!
Description of Work: Consider yourself lucky, if you get Butch Fischer. We hired him for our renovation (adding a bedroom, a bathroom, a pantry, heated hardwood floor, and updating the whole house with new wiring, heating, new roof...etc.) which lasted about six months. Normally, Butch Fischer works on high-ends homes, so I didn’t think I could afford to have him work on our house, but we got him and it was worth every penny, and he was quite reasonable.

After doing several projects in our house over the years, the most important qualities I value in a contractor are: good communication, honesty and quality of work. Butch absolutely loves what he is doing and that shows in his work. He communicated with us like no one else, his attention to details was more than I even expected and he is a true master of his craft. He is intelligent, meticulous, easy to work with, he listens and understands your needs and ideas, he is reliable, trustworthy and just a pleasure to work with. There were a lot of things that Butch didn't have to do throughout the whole kitchen remodel, but he did them to help me. It is hard to express the gratitude for the work that Butch has done. Everything was done so perfectly (I know I have used that word a lot, but there is no other word to describe Butch's work), that I told him that our next house he either will be building or remodeling from start to finish. I know I can trust him with any job and it will be done correctly, beautifully and above any expectations. I am privileged to know him and having him work with us. Even when he has completed his work in our kitchen in December of 2011, in February of 2012 he spent over an hour consulting me on the work being done outside by landscapers. As I said, above and beyond......Thank you, Butch.
Description of Work: Butch Fisher was chosen to install our kitchen cabinets as part of much bigger project (living room, dinning room, kitchen and family room remodel). I wish I knew prior to the start of our multi room remodel that Butch is a general contractor and could have done our project from start to finish, not just the kitchen. I originally thought he was doing only kitchen remodels. I met Butch about 4 years ago when we thought we will be doing the new kitchen (only). Unfortunately, we had to put our project on hold. But, at that time, I have interviewed about 6-7 contractors that specialize in kitchen remodeling and Butch clearly stood out among all of them. His attention to details and questions that he had for me about our kitchen ideas indicated that he was the man for the job. We couldn't start our kitchen project for some time, but I knew that when the time comes, I will be calling Butch and no one else. His thoughts and questions back then, helped me later to design our new kitchen better, ask the right questions at the floor store, cabinet shop, granite store and much more. So, in the fall of 2011 we had a much bigger project on hand, hiring a general contractor that we used 6 years ago for another part of the house to remodel our living room, dinning room and family room first and inviting Butch to do the kitchen at the end. Butch went above and beyond not only on his portion of the project when the rest of the house was ready, but Butch came over several times to help me even before we had the kitchen bare walls ready for cabinets. Even before he started the cabinet installation in the kitchen, he helped me to coordinate the first part of remodeling when things didn't go well and I was now dealing with multiple contractors and problems. At that time, I realized that our multi room remodeling would have been a lot less stressful if I only had Butch doing the whole thing. The kitchen project was a challenge too due to uneven floor and walls in our house and frameless cabinets that we have ordered, but Butch was able to fit everything so perfectly that you wouldn't even know that there were any problems to deal with. He made recommendations for me what tile installers will have to do to fix uneven floor and even grinded the floor himself in the critical area. He was always very punctual and completed the cabinet installation by the time he said he would. There were a few "surprises" thrown by the person who ordered the cabinets from the cabinet maker company, but Butch was able to fix and deal with every single one of them. He is very creative and has a lot of tricks up his sleeve that help with problem solving. The cabinets came out beautifully. Butch took time to adjust every single door and drawer to be aligned perfectly. And I mean perfectly. The molding on the bottom of the wall cabinets and crown molding on the top is so perfectly set and cut that you wouldn't see any seams. Butch works very neatly. He worked very well with granite installers, great communication with them and myself and when it was time to install the granite, everything was ready. Butch helped me to design the shape of the granite, something he didn't have to do.

Mr. Fischer spent considerable time with my wife and me discussing options and then reviewing decisions to ensure he understood just what we wanted done. His coordination and planning were excellent throughout. All tradesmen came to our house having been well-briefed by Mr. Fischer; all made introductory phone calls before arriving to ensure their arrival time was convenient for us. Estimated times for job completion by the various trades were met. In one portion of the work, the two decks, the painter undertook, on his own, to do more work than any of us had anticipated because, in his words, "it wouldn't be a good job" unless he had done so. All-in-all we were impressed with Mr. Fischer's planning and coordination throughout and with his frequent involvement with the various workmen to ensure the quality of work was top rate. With one small exception, we were impressed with the professionalism of each and every worker who performed any of the various jobs. (The one exception was minor and was quickly corrected by Mr. Fischer.) I answered the question "would you use this company/individual again?" with a "Yes". And, in fact, I have just hired Mr. Fischer to do an additional job for me, unrelated to the work described in this report.
Description of Work: Remodel of 1 bathroom including removal and replacement of wall, floor and shower tile; elevation of sunken shower floor; replacement of wall mirror; installation of new shower enclosure; replacement of shower water fixtures. Stripping and staining of 2 outdoor decks. Stuccoing of one small outdoor cinder block wall. Application of ceramic coating to 1 bathtub and replacement of tub plumbing fixtures. Minor tile repairs and re-grouting in two bathrooms. Minor indoor painting touch-up in several locations. Butch Fischer provided all necessary planning and coordination of workmen in 5 or 6 different trades/companies.

The price was very reasonable. The stairs I had before were dangerous. They were just 3-4 but they were all of uneven height. So he put in another stair case above the brick stairs and now it is of much nicer proposition. They are very good and very straight forward. Butch was a pleasure to deal with. He maps everything out and he did some other renovations on the house a few years ago. He always tells you what to expect and a perfect craftsman who leaves his work site very nice.
Description of Work: I used the service of Fischer Construction Inc a couple of weeks ago to do some steps. They installed and built stairs between the house and the garage.

Mr. Fischer gave me an estimate and came in below the estimate. He said he was able to re-use the metal gate parts to save us money. I appreciated the quality of the wood and how nice our new gate looks. He is really nice and easy to work with and finished the project (although very small for him) on time and under budget. I would recommend him and will definitely use his services in the future from carpentry to general contracting work.

Butch kept us safe from the all the construction debis and dust. That worked out great because we lived in the house during the construciton. He was able to contain each project easily and was very concerned for our living space. We ended up living in a small space and the last thing to be gutted was my kitchen. Butch set up a make shift kitchen for me in the small studio on the property, which worked out great. We were fortunate to have that space. There were engineering problems prior to Butch's arrival because the engineers didn't actually come to the job site to see what we had for footings and how the framing was done. The engineering that was done was not working and Butch was able to re-engineer the job himself. As he went along, he discovered discrepancies between the engineer's drawings and calculations of what was actually on site. He also used another engineering company that he trusted to validate all his calculations. I trusted that the first engineer's drawing was correct - with that experience in mind, I would insist that the engineer inspect prior to creating the drawings. There were many permits to be obtained; one included a soils engineering which we had to pay for up front. It wasn't adequate. My new footing couldn't be standard. In certain areas, the footing had to go down five to six feet. This was not discovered until the excavation was underway. This was an unforseen issue.
Description of Work: We did an addition and remodel of about 1000 sq ft. The project was complex and attached to about 3/4 of the length of the backside of my house. Basically we have a new house. The project included a living room/great room, dining room, kitchen, office, 1/2 bath, master bedroom with a walk in closet and laundry room. The remodel entailed a complete restructuring; new studs, new roof-line and new floors. If I had to do it over again. I'd tear the house down and rebuild - the exisiting house was old and it took a lot of creativity to make it all work. But it did.

I believe that if one is going to be completely satisfied, it is necessary to be involved. While I did not have a picture in my mind of the finished look, I did have clear, underlying goals, namely clean lines, ease of use and ease of care. I needed a perfectionist who would listen to me. Butch and I were a great team! I know that our personal tastes differ, but we worked together on an ever-evolving plan. We spoke daily about what would occur that day and had a place to leave notes for each other, so even though I was working full-time, there was excellent communication. Butch is not the kind of contractor who makes the arrangements and then sends a crew to work on their own, just checking in periodically. He was wearing the tool belt and doing the work, directing everything personally. I was secure in the knowledge that other contractors would have to do their work up to his standards and they would not leave until he was satisfied. Some of the subcontractors were people he often works with and others were ones I suggested, which he found to be superior to others he might have used. He took all bids, watched them measure and knew right away who was the best qualified. Butch Fischer is an artist who loves to do quality work. He is open to new ideas, which was good, because I asked for some things that had not been done before. While shopping for cabinets, plumbing fixtures and finish items needed for the project I discovered the high regard given to Butch by other trades people. Once initial city inspections had been done, and the Inspector saw the quality of the work, everything went very smoothly throughout. Butch is a true professional with an incredibly high work ethic. There are always surprises and challenges. Living in a house with no working bathrooms (in January!) was not something I hope to do again. I did not have any deadlines and my interest was in having things "done right" so the time may have been longer than anticipated because of choices I made. I am satisfied that there is nothing makeshift or half-done here. Guests have commented that the kitchen looks like something in a magazine and in two years I have not found even one thing about which I could say, "I wish I would have... " I didn't get a "kitchen by Butch Fischer" as one might get with someone who has personal designs in mind. I got MY kitchen, expertly crafted by Butch Fischer.
Description of Work: Both bathrooms and a walk-in bedroom closet were completely gutted, down to the studs and floorboards. A wall was moved to make the bathroom and closet bigger. All existing electrical, plumbing, appliances, flooring, etc. were replaced. Drains were inspected, updated and an additional footing was added to provide greater stability under the bathtub. The kitchen was also completely ripped out, including the ceiling and a large decorative beam. A bay window was added over the sink and all electrical wiring, plumbing, appliances, flooring, cabinets were replaced. Plaster was used in the bathrooms and kitchen. Some work was also done on the hall floors, entryway wall and floors, and part of the garage. The incoming electric was increased with a new panel installed indoors.
