Welby Construction Management

Description of Work: Kitchen remodel I ended up hiring another company who did a great job Ed is a really nice man and I really wanted to work with him as he seems highly experienced and had a good resume He spent some time and I was impressed with him initially Unfortunately he is unreliable with follow ups before he has your deposit (That was appreciated as opposed to finding this out after) Though I was close to signing with him he didn't want to work with details of the job and gave up following up with a few small details of the job like Quartz vs Granite cost differences In the end I found a highly reliable company who did a great job punctual reliable and trustworthy Welby construction has done this to other customers so I know I am not alone with their lack of customer relationship management skills experienced Simply look on other social media sites despite some satisfied customers Perhaps on some of the more positive recent reviews the company may have cleaned up all or some of its act Just bought another property and moved I wont be calling to test the waters again

Description of Work: I can't say enough good things about Ed Welby and his crew. I've had 2 experiences with Ed - first on the job and now for my recent home purchase. Before getting into how wonderful he is, let me address the other review that dings Ed on his responsiveness. Ed is tough to pin down - mostly because he's just that busy. The key to working with Ed is to always go through his office. His assistant is awesome and she works his schedule. Once you are on the schedule you are golden. Trust me, it's worth the wait to work with someone who is professional, not out to rip you off, does what he says he'll do, finish the job ontime and clean up the work very well. My company originally hired Ed to install and loft for us in our downtown business. He stayed on budget, on time and constructed a loft for the ages. The work involved adding stairs, the loft, electrical and plumbing. He brought in everyone he needed, they worked hard and fast and he was done on the day he said he would be. It's probably the best made construction project we've ever had done in the building. We later needed him for a project that involved a laundry room and he arranged for architectural drawings and managed the permitting process for the job as well as all the inspections including plumbing, electrical, framing and final. When we ran into problems on both projects (one our oversight and one with the city as the buidling is very old and they wanted something adjusted to current standards), he was able to make changes on the fly, with a smile on his face despite the challenges presented. I was so impressed there was no second thought when needing someone to replace rotted joists in my new home purchase and fix a Mickey Mouse repair done by someone the old owners had hired. I had had 2 quotes during the home inspection process for lots of $$$. The quotes included different things including one telling me we needed a whole beam in the front of the house. Ed personally crawled under our house (and given the 12 -18 inches of room, not a small feat for such a tall guy) and gave me an assessment. I trust him so much i would have believed anything he told me. But he's a straight up guy and told me what i needed and what i didn't (including that beam). i don't know if he gave me a deal due to the professional relationship, but i think it was the straight up price he would charge others. (I've rounded it out here for personal reasons). The point is, he could have told me i needed the beam, but he gave me an assessment of what he saw and what he recommended and we went with that. He ran into an issue with too shallow a space to work when they found the repair work by the old owners was worse than anticipated and he requoted for this work a reasonable increase and we moved ahead. He managed to fix the joist and level the floor and i feel very confident i now have very secure flooring. His guys were personable, worked quickly and the area was cleaned up. If we ever do an expansion to the house, he's going to be who i call.

Description of Work: Ed and his team put together design plans and completed the majority of the work to complete our garage conversion into a laundry room and bedroom area. We had this conversion permitted and Ed's team did all the work for the permits. We completed the finish work like the flooring and the painting.
