It started out great but with some supply's being delayed for a few days and the owner having shoulder surgery towards the end of the job, it took longer then expected.

Response from Turenne General Contracting
This was months ago, but I remember this customer. She wanted shelving on either side of her fire place. She had limited time to meet so we were going to meet on a Saturday after my first appointment in her city. After my first appointment I called her and it went to voicemail. I asked her to call and reschedule. Connection could have been bad. Maybe she didn't get the message. She could have used her time to call me and say, I thought we had an appointment. She chose to use her time to down grade my company and reputation without even a sentence of explanation. Unfortunate for me. But with Angie's list you have to take the bad with the good. Terrence

Terrence is a hard worker and very easy to work with. He has been very knowledgeable with any problem we come up with. He shows up on time. If he has to be delayed he will call to give us a heads up well ahead of time. He is proud of his work and it shows. Since we don't have any carpenter/plumbing skills it is great to have found someone that has that talent. We recommend Terrence if you are looking for an excellent hands on contractor.

Showed up as scheduled to provide me an estimate. Confirmed that the damage was caused by a leaking shower drain connection,which allowed water to permeate the surrounding subfloor. He also informed me the the drain size wasn't to code. Should be 2" not the existing 1 1/2" inch diameter. Gene provided my with three options with each option increasing in price. Explained the positives and negatives of each option without trying to hard sell me the highest option. I chose the mid level,which didn't include replacing the south facing wall between the bathroom and the bedroom. Gene replaced the the drain pipe with the 2" and installed a new drain/hub. Removed sections of damaged sub flooring- recovered the the whole floor with new subfloor to make it more level ( problem in trailer homes ). Installed new cushioned vinyl flooring and trim. The floor came out looking fabulous !!! My wife just loved it and I appreciated how smooth it looked. I have been in the park maintenance business for 30 years ( recently retired) and I can tell you that I have a lot of experience with both good and bad contractors. I'm happy to say Gene is a good guy who knows his business inside and out and will explain what he is doing without making you feel dumb. He has gained experience in modern mobile homes thru ownership. Most will appreciate no surprise cost increases and his friendly demeanor. He was a pleasure to work with and did what he said he would do when he said he was going to do it.. I know that sounds kind of basic, but you would be surprised how many contractors have problems just performing the basics..Thanks Gene for a job well done!!!

It went well. The start date had to be delayed due to delays in the job ahead of me, but he communicated well. The work moved along as expected and was completed as anticipated. The painting and baseboard work was terrific, but the faucet repair was somewhat disappointing.

We are glad that we found Terrence on Angie's list. He responded quickly and gave us a bid that was competitive with other bids. Terrence worked with us on the design, so we could get exactly what we wanted. He is very creative with his tile work, and offered options in the design that I wouldn't have thought of. The result is beautiful. He tested all the new faucets and plumbing as they were installed, to be sure they were working properly. He was also very particular about his underlayment work and used high quality materials to prevent any future water damage, which was one of our concerns. Terrence was dependable, professional, patient and accommodating throughout the process and we highly recommend him. We look forward to using him for future projects. We are so thrilled with our new bathroom!
Description of Work: We had a total remodel of our large master bath, including the addition of a Jacuzzi tub, the construction of a walk-in shower with a bench and a tiled half wall that eliminates the need for shower curtain or glass door. Added new light fixtures. Put in semi-custom cabinets, solid surface counter with integrated sinks and installed a travertine marble floor.
Terrence is a detail-oriented person, and also very prompt. He is easy to work with. We had one small problem with the tile and he willingly made some changes requested. I was amazed at all the tools he has -- even had something for cutting mortar and a cinder block that had been behind the rock facade. His price was very fair.
Description of Work: Terrence rebuilt a wall after a fireplace rock-facade was removed. He had to piece together non-combustible material with sheetrock, plus add some tile on the floor. He also installed some recessed lights; he had no problem with crawling around in the attic to do this. In my bathroom, he installed a new vanity top and put in the plumbing necessary, which was not easy because new faucet was different size that old plumbing, per CA regulations. I had also used him in the past to install some flashing in a leaking shed.

.The job took three and a half days because we decided to replace the flooring in the guest bath as well. Terrence was always on time, answered our questions, worked quickly, did a great job and charged a reasonable fee. We plan to call Terrence anytime we have a home repair job in the future.
Description of Work: We had a small leak under the bathroom sink which took us awhile to notice. After we had repaired the leak we noticed the floor was beginning to develop a bulge. We usually do small repairs ourselves but this had the potential to be a major problem. We found Terrence on Angie's list and called him. We made an appointment for the next afternoon. He arrived on time and inspected the bathroom and the structure in the crawl space. Terrence found there was no structural damage but there was mold. We decided to replace the entire floor rather than try to patch it. We ordered the sheet vinyl and after it arrived scheduled the work

It went fast and perfectly. He is amazing at spotting small issues that could develop into large ones such as the really loose plumbing in one of the bathrooms that he repaired for almost nothing. He is such an honest person and hard worker. He was referred to us some years ago by a coworker and has helped us with 2 of our own homes and 2 rental properties that we have. He added a beautiful gym in our house and last year remodeled our old dated kitchen into a beautiful piece of art. He has an amazing eye for things and really great prices.
Description of Work: Fixed up a rental house we bought that was quite a mess. He fixed damaged barge rafters, fixed outside water damaged siding and matched paint. installed new wood floor in kitchen and dining room. replaced lots of drywall. put new linoleum and toilets in 2 bathrooms. fixed lighting and fans and painted the whole interior. Replaced interior garage door with fire door. put up all fire alarms and co2 alarms. repaired leaky sinks and cleared the drains. went through living room wall to access tub to secure plumbing. also many other small issues.

Awesome with the bidding process. Out of four contractors was the only one who crawled under house to inspect job! Bid came well within the pricing we were looking for. Discovered leaking sewer pipe while floor was removed. Stopped repair on bathroom while fixing the more serious issue. He was able to replace more then just the damaged section of the pipe. Was on time while working on the job and kept in constant contact during entire process. Removed water/mold damage materials from site leaving house as clean as when started. Would recommend to do other work.
Description of Work: Removed damaged floor in bathroom, replaced, and tiled floor. While floor was removed it was discovered sewer line rusted through. and repaired this as well.

Terrence took out our old outdated fluorescent lights and oak frame and replaced them with six new can lights. It brought our kitchen into the new century. Of course, this required new framing, drywall, texture and paint as well as the electrical work. He does great work in a timely manner with great care to the details. It is such a pleasure to deal with someone who respects your time schedule. On the one occasion that he got caught in road construction and was 10 minutes late, he called to let us know where he was. Everything went smoothly and we already have another date scheduled for more work.

Terrance was extremely professional and courteous by providing excellent sources of information to me for my Home Stucco installation request. More details are listed within the 'What did the provider do' section.
Description of Work: Terrance of Terrance Construction responded to my phone message the same day i called. I was looking for an estimate for Stucco to be inserted onto the exterior of my house. Terrance was honest, professional and showed Excellent Character by informing me that he currently has too small of a crew to take on a project like this one - then he referred to me to two different Contractors in the area who he trusts, has excellent reputations, and provides Excellent quality of work. WHile Terrance didn't actually complete any work for me, It is his professionalism that has prompted me to write a 'thumbs up' review for him. I am not certain that other Contractors would have offered the same courtesy to a random person such as myself.

Great job, although too pricey on installation of 2 kitchen faucets! Floor in shop looks great; wearing well. Do not hesitate to call him
Description of Work: Installed 2 different kitchen sink faucets in 2 different rooms. Iinstalled new vinyl floor in Stained Glass Work Shop
Beautifully! When you hire Terrence Turenne you are getting much more than a contractor, you are hiring a true artist. I had no idea what I wanted, I just knew it was time for the old blue tub, toilet and sink to be gone. He met me at the store and helped me pick out everything, from the tub, to the tile, to the color of the paint. His eye for design is amazing and the finished bathroom is gorgeous. He also installed a great pocket door separating the bathroom from the bedroom. I have an older home, probably built in the 1930s and remodeled in the 1960s so he kept running into glitches, like the tub that was installed to survive a nuclear blast, electrical wiring that was really scary and some strange building methods. He dealt with everything cheerfully and professionally, explaining the issues as they occurred. I was extremely impressed with all his work. He cleaned up every day before he left and also had to deal daily with 4 big annoying dogs and a cat who ignored him until he tried to eat his lunch....

Response from Turenne General Contracting
This falls under the category of " You can't please all the people all the time." It took me a while to remember this customer because it has been 5 years. This job started with some personality issues. Then her husband went to the lumber store and paid on my account in an attempt to receive a discount. That action terminated our contract. I requested payment for only the progress completed. There was no promise to return.
