Bauhaus Construction

Description of Work: Bauhaus Construction I had Bauhaus Construction, give me an estimate a couple days ago, on a replacement of a ceiling. It was $1600.

Description of Work: We were renovating our kitchen and had already installed the cabinets and counters through Home Depot. We were looking for someone to install ceramic tile floor, a tile backsplash, replace a sliding door and window, and trim the door, window and three other windows. We got several quotes but decided to go with Bauhaus based on reviews and my discussion with Oliver Beer, the owner of Bauhaus. He was having trouble coming by to look at the job, but we were in touch by phone and internet, so he asked me to send him pics of the job. I did and he gave me a quote which was in line with other quotes I had recieved. I advised him that the floor, which spanned and addition to the original structure, was very uneven. One other contractor who looked at the job said he could not guarantee that he could get it level enough to avoid cracking of tiles or grout. The floor was stripped to the sub-floor, we provided all materials, Bauhaus provided the labor and advice. Chris, Oliver's tile guy, came into prep for the job. He was punctual, professional considerate and polite. Chris and his assistant took precautions to keep the worksite clean and protect other finishes. The sub-floor was very squeaky, I never imagined anyone could get all the squeaks out. Chris must have put a million scews into the sub-floor and there were no more squeaks. It took the rest of that first day just to lay down enough levelling compound on the floor. He and his helper kept saying how they had never put down so much levelling compound and I can believe it. They cleaned everything up and took off to let the compound dry overnite. The next day Chris came back to lay the tile. Chris double checked to make sure we all agreed on the pattern. We also discussed whether or not I had bought enough tile. Since I bought the tile at Tile America, and his wife worked there, he called her and had her set aside two extra boxes from the same lot, just in case we needed them. That was a relief and greatly appreciated as I have had issues in the past with tile from different lots. They moved the refrigerator and range and laid the tile. They even worked around the fridge so we could still use it overnight. They came back the next day, finished laying tile, and applied the grout. They did a great job cleaning up a big job. I didn't have the backsplash yet, but had already ordered it. Chris took a look at it and told me he could have gotten me the same tile for a lot less. When the tile came in, it was significantly different from the sample that we had used to order it. So we returned it and took Chris's advice and went to Tile America to order the backsplash. The plan was for Chris to come back and install it after the door, window and trim were installed. For the door, window and trim, Oliver had Keif, his carpenter, come in. Kief is awesome. He looked at the job and the door and window I had ordered, and let me know that I didn't buy a replacement door and window. I had bought the type used in new construction. It meant he was going to have to remove a significant amount of my vinyl siding to install the door and window. He wasn't complaining or even asking for more money because of the extra labor, he was just letting me know it might take a little longer. They even had to remove and replace an outdoor lighting fixture. Like Chris, Kief set up his job taking precautions to keep the worksite clean and not damage any other finishes. And like Chris he was polite, professional and considerate. Both guys are friendly and informative but they dont waste time, theirs or mine, chewing the fat. I was also comfortable having both Chris and Kief around my family and my house. I was so comfortable that on two occasions I left my home with them still working and just asked them to button up when they left. That's a comfort level that you can't just pay for. Kief and his assistant finished up the installation and part of the trim, packed up everything and left for the day. But before he toook off, he let me know he needed to talk to Oliver about some of the trim work because there were some problems with the house not being plumb and square. He let me know he would be in touch once Oliver and he had discussed it. He came back two days later and finished the job. The next day Chris came in and mounted the backsplash. The day after that, he applied the grout, cleaned up and the job was complete. I can't say enough good things about Bauhaus, Oliver Beer or his especially guys Chris and Kief. They are craftsmen, but more than that they are professionals. They always treated my house as if it were their own. They were courteous to my wife and family. They were a joy to have around. I have a small bathroom project to do with a lot of tile work and I'm happy to know I now have a contractor. Chris has already given me some ideas on the shower which I would not have thought of on my own. And Oliver has givem me ideas on a small vanity and the overall project. Its nice to have trust and confidence in a contractor, and to know they will come when they say they will, and do what they say they will do.

Description of Work: First contact, I was told I could not be helped because they were too busy, had too many other jobs. That was it. No referrals, no attempt to help me find someone else. Gentleman who answered phone had heavy accent, did not explain things very well. U I would not use them in the future as their attitude was so uncaring, so non-service oriented. They may do excellent work, but I will never know because I do not have a favorable impression of their services.

Description of Work: Oliver's team designed and installed a brand new deck to replace the one damaged by snow this winter. He worked with our insurance company, providing estimates and negotiating a fair settlement. Using existing footings his team replaced our deck deck in four days. His team worked diligently- starting promptly in the morning and working steadily through the day. The deck was crafted perfectly and they even added a final touch of solar lights for a pleasant evening atmosphere. We were very pleased wit the outcome and how quickly the job was completed.

Description of Work: I had three tasks to be performed. Bauhaus came to the house and we discussed my requirements. He left, stating he would get back to me the following week. Well, he never did get back to me. I sent him an email but he did not respond. Much later (several weeks), he sent an email saying he forgot to contact me.

Description of Work: We contacted Bauhaus Construction to get a quote for bathroom renovation. Their work also included deconstructing a wall between the bedrooms and installing a door.

Description of Work: Kitchen drywall and installation removed, repaired and painted.

Description of Work: I have an old house (1860) and upgraded my electrical system to 200 amp service. This included a new meter installed on the outside of the house and a new panel in the basement.

Description of Work: I am in the process of working w/ Bauhaus Construction to remodel my kitchen and bathroom (work will commence shortly). A pipe in the basement of my 1860's house started leaking badly. I emailed Oliver that I was concerned my well might run dry - the leak filled a large bucket every couple of hours and there's been little rain lately.

Description of Work: Becuse this company received so many high ratings on Angie's List - and because it is local - I called on a very small project (hauling away old closet doors that the town no longer picks up) and happened to hit on a day when the owner was making a trip to the landfill. I registered on his website to give him my location and contact information, and he advised later that same day when to expect him the following morning. He arrived on the dot; even gave me some money back because the quoted priced exceeded the job actually done - WOW! An honest professional!

Description of Work: Bauhaus Construction came out in April to give us an estimate to remodel our bathroom.

Description of Work: He gave me a quote on remodeling two bathrooms.

Description of Work: I had water damaged in my laundry room from the previous winter ice dams. The owner came to my house and he took a look on the project and told me no problem, I can do the repair. I was on a deadline because of my three year old son who is austistic and told the owner when my son was not going to be home and he did the repair on my schedule. The company was on time and answer all the questions I had. I like this company, their are very professional.

Description of Work: My house sustained water damage from ice dams this winter. Oliver at Bauhaus is a stand up guy and performed the work in the time frame he told us and price. My foyer needed the ceiling torn down (plaster and lots of it), dried out, re-insulated, dry-walled, taped, and painted. My downstairs bath needed the same repair, as well as my upstairs window needed new trim and paint.

Description of Work: My home had water damaged interior walls from the ice damns that had formed along the roof line this past winter. Bauhaus Construction came in, viewed, estimated and got the job; for one main reason- Oliver Beer, (who is Bauhaus Construction). He told me what he would do and aprroximately how much it would cost. My gut feeling and his obvious experience played true. This one man is so skillfully mastered in all the work that needed to be done, I was more than impressed and pleased with the results. Walls, windows, sopping wet insulation, and trim all had to be removed and replaced from a north facing wall that connects a bedroom and bath. He came in, neatly took it all down, let the areas dry completly for 2-3 days, came back, replaced it all and painted. I know the damaged walls were replaced, but one would never know, because Oliver did not leave the redone walls looking like a shinny new penny and out of place; all the repaired areas blended right in with the existing space. Well done!

Description of Work: Oliver remodeled our master bathroom and did some random jobs around the house including fixing a slow leak in our basement that was in a tough spot. I think he did one or two other small, odd jobs but at this moment I cannot recall what they were. Maybe Oliver will comment back if he remembers. Oliver remodeled our dated bathroom. It was original to the house, built in 1971 or 1972, and had numerous defects due to shoddy construction when the house was built. Oliver's quote was bit higher than the other two contractors we received quotes from but Oliver seemed to have an eye for design and seemed interested in helping us find a better layout for the bathroom. After numerous iterations on the layout, and a delay on our part as we waited for our funding to come through, we settled on on a layout and signed the contract. Parts started showing up shortly.
