BW Construction

It went very well. We got three bids for this job--and BW was the lowest at $2675.00. Another bid for the same work was a thousand dollars higher--and a third was twice as much as the bid by BW! BW was responsive to my calls, and the boss answered my questions and gave constructive suggestions. They washed the roof applied treatment to it and then applied two coats of paint. They finished the work on Friday and the immediate Monday afterwards. The house is noticeably cooler in the late afternoon--we have central air--but the part of the house under the flat roof got kind of steamy--They also cleaned the rain gutter along that roof. We're going to talk to them again about some additional remodeling work.

I did my homework no issues, except for one ding with the Contractors Liscence Board, he lost, short story he did not finish the job. His answer was "she was crazy", very convincing, I believed him. He was not the cheapest, very enthusiastic. Checked with four of his references they all had B+ stories, but certainly mostly pleased.

We had been told at the beginning that he would have a single room and bathroom livable in 5 weeks, as we were paying rent and a mortgage, did not happen. The framer he brought in top notch, the roofer good work, tile guy good, the rest terrible.The plumber was the worst, even now we are dealing with his sub par work. The Electrical was OK, just horribly slow and forgetful, no garbage disposal switch installed, as an example. Do not under any circumstanes let him install windows.When we brought in a door and window expert we had to take as many back out as we could. flashing was wrong, no support ETC. Promised us he would keep job site clean... OH MY GOD, bottles, trash, everywhere. He showed up in the morning only that was it. Never saw him do a walkthru to inspect his p
