Response from Consider It Done LLC
This project was completed in August 2010, not January 2016. The scope of the project was to 1- Finish the basement, 2- Add a ¾ bathroom in the basement, 3- Upgrade electrical service & relocate circuit breakers, and 4- Repair exterior rot. The original contracted cost was $ 28,863. Once the work was underway and as the homeowners made changes to the scope of the project, written change orders were issued to document said changes and the associated additional costs, totaling $5614. These change orders and costs were approved and signed by the homeowner. Also clearly noted on these written change orders were cost estimates for additional work the homeowners were considering adding to the end of the project. They chose to proceed with all 3 additional quoted items and upon final billing, these items were included, totaling $2,315. There were no additional costs in this project that were not clearly documented in writing by Consider It Done and approved by the homeowners. Change orders were signed by the homeowner a full 2 months before the completion of the job. Consider It Done, LLC is extremely proud of our business ethics and have NEVER, nor will we ever add charges to an invoice that were not previously discussed with the homeowner and/or documented. After 6 years, we understand it is difficult to remember the specifics of a home improvement project; perhaps the homeowner has confused us with another contractor’s billing practices.

Eve requested the scope of the work, I have them a detail description and let them know multiple contractors would be bidding on the work. I received an email two days later stating they would not bid on the job.

Based on the homeowner's provided scope of work, we determined that this project was not a good fit for our company's focus and/or that we would be unavailable in the requested time frame. Eve McPhail Business Manager

I have used many contractors and home improvement workers over the years, but without a doubt, Consider It Done is absolutely the best. Dave oversees every project personally and is meticulous about his work. He has completed several projects at our house and I am always amazed that there is still someone like him left in the world who takes great pride in his work and gets it done right every time. He is diligent, honest, and detail-oriented. I would hire no one else to work on my home.
Description of Work: Consider It Done has provided many services in the past, including replacement windows and doors and kitchen remodeling.

See above - went great
Description of Work: Dave re-tiled the bathtub/shower surround, replaced the shower and bath plumbing, replaced a pipe in the bathroom closet, and made some replacement shelves for the closet. Dave is a consummate professional. I trusted him completely and he was very forthright and easygoing the entire time he was in my home. He is a genuinely nice guy, and does great work. He told me, after hed taken the old tile down, that it was "the worst tile job" he'd ever seen, and I believe him. He discovered a problem, after removing the old tile, that involved the bathtub not having any support beam underneath its lip on the wall side. The bathtub had already tilted in the direction of the wall because of the missing support. Within an hour, he had come up with a solution to the problem and remedied it. He re-positioned the tub so that it was level again, then used (I think) the wall studs to come up with a support system for the tub on that side. If I had hired another contractor, I can imagine that they would have either ignored the problem (which may have led to more tile problems, including leaks, in the future), or they would have told me that the only way to fix it would be to remove the tub, replace the beam, and then put the tub back in - which would have cost a fortune. I am so glad I hired Consider it Done, because Dave not only remedied the problem, he did it in a way that didn't cost me a lot of extra money. All of the work he did - from the tile work to the plumbing to the carpentry - was very high quality. When he left at the end of each day, the bathroom was clean and usable. That was very important to me, since I only have one bathroom. I would definitely hire Dave again. CID might be more expensive than some other contractors, but you get what you pay for.

The estimate was in the same ball park as the other estimates we got. We were impressed with them, we haven't yet decided if we will use them but we are considering them. They are very responsive and came out when they said they would. We were very happy with every aspect of it.

Dave really raised the bar for performance by a contractor. He listened carefully while we described what we wanted. He was comfortable with the peculiarities of our 1925 house, had good style suggestions and gave good feedback about the feasibility and costs for the changes we wanted to make. He took the time to meet with the kitchen designer in the kitchen, which eliminated some potentially serious errors. He helped us map out a schedule for choosing and ordering the items we needed so they would be available when he was ready to do the work. He gave us accurate estimates for when he would complete each stage so that we could plan for the other contractors and for deliveries (of tile, appliances, etc.). He came when he said he would come, he did what he said he would do and he did things the way he said they would be done. He touched base frequently to discuss even minor options at each stage. He installed a wall-mounted sink each evening, which relieved us of the nightmare of washing up in the tub. He kept things as tidy as possible in an old house with plaster walls. Communication was good throughout. The itemized billing was clear and transparent.
Description of Work: Complete gutting and installation of kitchen and adjacent bathroom, plus some work in an adjoining laundry room. Repair of unexpected pre-existing water damage to kitchen and bathroom, plus leakage from poorly sealed bathtub on floor above. Correction of poor construction practices from previous renovations. The project included all cabinets, custom storage closets, soffits, floor preparation (but not laying of the flooring), new window, countertops, major appliances, tile and electrical. Dave sub-contracted the installation of the sheetrock walls and ceiling as well as some plumbing. We hired another contractor for wallpapering and painting.

The whole project was great. Dave is extremely meticulous. Every night the project site is completely cleaned up so that you don't feel like you're living in a construction zone. Dave is very good about providing suggestions and ideas for how a project might be changed to work better. He's very easy to work with.
Description of Work: We worked with Dave at Consider it Done to completely gut and renovate the master bathroom and closet in our home. We increased the space in the bathroom by extending the bathroom into the bedroom and taking over a small closet, gutted the entire space, added a huge shower, built-in shelving, a new toilet, new medicine cabinets, new lighting, radiant heat flooring, a custom vanity built by Dave and a pocket door to help keep the space as large as possible. Additionally, we doubled the size of the walk-in closet.
