Bauhaus Construction

We couldn't be more pleased with the results! Oliver and his crew are very careful workers and do splendid work. This is the second job in which we have used Bauhaus, and will turn to them again because we can be sure that the work will be very well done.

Working with Oliver was great. After having used other contractors in the past, I was surprised at the ease with which this project was completed. Oliver was very easy to reach - he responded to all of my emails and phone calls very quickly. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He always came to the house on time, and he was very patient as we deliberated about what type of flooring to use. I felt he advised us very well on the materials and wanted to be sure we were happy with our selection. He took his work very seriously, and made sure that everything was done exactly right. It was very obvious that Oliver takes great pride in his projects and doesn't cut corners. The tile floor is absolutely beautiful and the craftsmanship of the tile installer was outstanding. The tile installer was extremely efficient, professional, expert, and friendly. Oliver is very easy to work with and I will call on him again for future projects.

Still getting information and making decisions on how extensive of a renovation we want. Unfortunately our home does not have a hatchway and we need to have one installed before we turn the basement into additional living space. We need to know how much the hatchway will add to the overall cost of the project before deciding exactly what we are going to have done. No doubt in our minds, that the provider will do an excellent job.

The initial offer was a good price, and I knew I would good great quality from his team. He was prompt and very focused over 3 days to complete the setup and painting, including a challenging 25 foot high living space with a cathedral ceiling. The quality was great and I would use Oliver again for quality painting.

Working with Oliver was a great experience, and quality of his work was excellent. Initially, his offer was in the middle of the cost range, however, I knew that I would get great quality from him and his team, as this was a focus on our discussions prior to a formal offer. During the project, I was informed of when his team was visiting and the key next steps. He was also open to some very minor scope adjustments as well, without increasing the overall cost. The teams were very professional and considerate, and I was able to review the status and quality during the project. I would certainly use Bauhaus Construction again on future projects, and would recommend them to others. Attached a few pictures of before and after.

We told him we wanted a 3 season room before we knew it he was convincing my wife and I into a 4 season room, my wife and I said wait a minute this is not what we want. When I told him everything was much bigger than we wanted. Again told him what we wanted he emailed me back stating I guess I'm not the right contractor for you. As I read in other people's reviews it is his way or no way. Which I agree with. I have no doubt he would do a great job using only the best material, but it is what the customer wants not the contractor. I have signed on with another contractor yesterday afternoon who is of very good reputation who is going to build us what we want. Again Oliver is very professional, punctual. I would not choose him because it was his way forget what the customer wants. If you don't mind this I'm sure he would do a great job.

Oliver emailed us a detailed contract, and everything on the contract was done in a timely fashion and with excellent workmanship. This job cost a bit more than we expected, but our expectations may be at fault because we have little experience with this sort of repair. Basically, a small sinkhole developed near our front steps and under the front walkway, making the walkway dip down, and pulling the front porch away from the house (opening up a gap between the front door and the front porch and damaging the siding where the porch roof was connected). We had some difficulty finding someone to even take on this job, so for us the cost was worthwhile. Oliver and his crew do things the right way, which is worth a lot to us, as it is very discouraging when a job needs to be redone later because the person you hired did not know what they were doing (one of the main reasons we joined Angie's List). We are already in the process of hiring Bauhaus again to do more work.

He came out right away to give me a quote and was a little bit pricey. But we decided to go with someone else because he wouldn't do our countertops and he wanted everything to be his way. He does great work and I know other people who have used him.

He was very knowledgeable about the project and I liked everything except the fact that the materials were not included in the quote and I would have to go and get the materials.

It took a couple of weeks for the custom window to come in and a couple of more weeks before the weather permitted Oliver to get started and put the window in. The job took a full day and the window looks great. Unfortunately, the business who shipped the window to Oliver forgot to include the screen that came with the window. Oliver got them on the phone immediately to tell them they still owed him the screen and he came back to install the screen as soon as he received it again. Oliver's skill as a carpenter is excellent and I would definitely recommend him to a friend or neighbor.

Oliver was fantastic - punctual, passionate about quality and craftsmanship, and exceptional value for the product / services he rendered. I will continue to use Bauhaus construction for all upcoming house projects.

Oliver stopped by to give me an estimate for an upcoming job. While looking over the area (bathroom) he discovered a leak in the shower head - behind the wall- and spent a half hour of his time securing it and stopping the leak. He even went to the local hardware store to get materials because he wanted to be sure it was functional before leaving. Oliver was able to explain several options for the remodel. He was prompt, knowledgeable and highly professional. I would hire Bauhaus construction for my remodel job without hesitation.

Bauhaus Construction came to our home to look at renovating a second bathroom and kitchen. He stated he was uncomfortable with the size of the bathroom and what we wanted. We understood. He promised he would get back to us with his decision within a day or two. In respect to the kitchen, Bauhaus Construction led us to believe he could do what we were asking of him. New counter top, backsplash, and refinish the cabinets. He also promised to provide us with several websites for us to look at for other materials. Several days passed and we received nothing, I called him and was told he had sent us an email with the information talked about. Monday, July 8, I received an email from Bauhaus Construction stating, "i do appreciate you contacted us for your renovation needs. After thinking and talking with the building department, I?m going to pass on this job sorry about that. sincerely oliver" My husband and I were stunned as there was really no explanation. I immediately reached out to him through email to better understand their decision, and it became ugly. During his second email, he quoted us a price of $9,500.00 to do the kitchen. I am uncomfortable with Bauhaus Construction and would not recommend them.

We contacted Bauhaus to receive estimates on multiple projects. Oliver responded the same day and came to the house to review. He provided estimates within a day which was very impressive. His suggestions were very helpful. Not sure if we will use Oliver yet as he is our first estimate but we are definitely considering him!

Oliver Beer is a true craftsman. He insured that his work and those he contracted was perfect. No small detail was left undone. In fact, Oliver repeatedly went above and beyond without adding additional charges. He added additional trim to produce a superior finish on the cabinets, and hand crafted oak thresholds to transition from hardwood to tile. He actually did this in all 3 bathrooms, even though he hadn't done the original tile or hardwood for those rooms. If there was a door that wasn't closing properly he fixed it. He even refinished our oak dining room table as a "gift". He cleaned up every day and did his best to keep the dust under control as much as possible. I don't think there are many people like Oliver who take such obvious pride and care with their work and we are truly grateful for the superior job he did. He left us with a beautifully remodelled first floor!

Awful overall experience. He did call me back right away after I left a message and we set up a meeting. First, when he came over, everything i showed him that I wanted done his response was "this is very expensive". I was willing to overlook that because I figured he was being cautious or whatever. So even though I wasnt completely impressed with the contact, he had such good reviews I decided to use him anyway. I called him, left a message stating i wanted him to come do the work and waited almost two weeks and I still have not gotten a reply. Furthermore, I inquired about a spiral staircase - he said people do not use those anymore and they arent allowed by the town. Well I called the town to double check, and Oliver was wrong. The stairs ARE allowed where i want to put them. Not sure what this guys deal is/was with me but I would never use him nor would I recommend him.

Never returned my original phone call. Totally unprofessional.

Oliver Beer, owner of Bauhaus Construction, came to the house in Feb. to discuss what I wanted done. He was polite, knowledgable, listened carefully, and a few days later sent me an email with a quote. Dave Monahan, who was to install the tiles, came a few days later and went over the proceedure and materials he was going to use. After I had purchased the tiles, Dave came to put them in. He was punctual, extremely clean (covered all open spaces so dust was contained), and did an exemplary job taking out the old floor, laying the foundation and installing the tiles. He had to work in a small confined space, which made the job harder, but within 3 days, the job was complete. Oliver came on the second day to see how things were going and came back when the job was done. A couple of tiles that had absorbed the finish coat differently, looked darker than the others. Dave came and replaced them. The floor looks really wonderful. I have had a lot of work done on my house the past few years and these two people are two of the best. They will go in my Hall of Fame! I highly recommend Bauhaus Construction. Jeanne

I reached out to Oliver based off his wonderful reviews on Angielist. He was extremely responsive and we met in under 48 hrs. Since then he provided an initial price, and then brought in subs and provided a revised number. Amazingly the price changed by over 50k between the two rounds and when I asked Oliver to explain the delta I was asked for a 5k dollar deposit to "develop a proposal". We have no problem with deposits, but who ever heard of a deposit to develop a detailed quote. He fully expected us to hand over money based on a 1 line email that said your project will cost XXX. A huge disappointment.

We were very pleased with the quality and professional work ethic . Oliver was careful to explain why the water damage had occurred and. What he would do to correct it . We feel confident that he accomplished that . We were pleased that he made every effort to reduce the mess and heat loss as much as possible during construction in the frigid Dec / Jan timeframe. They built tents to reduce the spread of construction mess and reduce heat loss. The crew was actually very personable and a pleasure to have in the house. We would not hesitate to call them again for future projects. Overall the work was excellent , the professionalism , the concern for doing the job the right way and desire to be cost effective as well as the ease of working with the Bauhaus construction team made this a pleasant experience.

We contacted Bauhaus Construction regarding tiling our bathroom floor and replacing the toilet. Oliver Beer came to our house within one day to look at the job. Oliver gave us advice on where to look at tile and suggested sizes and shapes. Within a few days we had a written estimate. The job was going to cost more than we had budgeted, so I contacted Oliver and he worked with us to modify certain aspects of the job to bring it within our budget. Shortly after we confirmed the price, Oliver began removing the old floor and toilet. At that point, he discovered additional problems with a complicated plumbing problem and called in a plumber to resolve the issue. The plumber came the next day and fixed the problem. Oliver then proceeded with tiling the floor and within a few days the tile was completed and the new toilet was installed. Oliver then returned to fix a few things that he was not satisfied with, and even replaced the caulking around the shower, despite the fact that that was never part of the job! The end result is beautiful.

They installed a diagonal patterned tile in the foyer through the hallway and into the bathroom. He also installed a new vent system for our dryer which now works much better. He stuck to his quote, his was on time with arrival and finish. Nice guy.

I contacted Bauhaus to request a quote. Told Oliver that the job might be small, but he was willing to provide an estimate anyway. Bauhaus was prompt in providing the estimate, and it turns out the job wasn't all that small. Ultimately we went with another contractor. Our experience with Bauhas was very positive and we would consider them for future work.

First and foremost, Oliver is an engineer by education. His education brings to the table value that is unmatched by others in the trade. While contracting trade skills are extremely important, understanding from an engineering perspective brings Oliver to a different plane. That being said, I cannot say enough about Oliver and his hard working crew (Keif and JB). They are artists in their tasks. Oliver spent nearly a month with us, rebuilding a den that suffered from decades of neglect (prior owner) due largely to improperly designed soffits and a neglected roof. Oliver quickly and efficiently identified and fixed the damaged soffits and walls (the roof was tackled just weeks before we met Oliver). Oliver identified various areas of potential concern, such as aged insulation and improper wiring. He provided us with very reasonable options for addressing our concerns. During that time, he voluntarily imparted to us a veritable encyclopedia of home repair and maintenance information, and never sought additional funds for this help. At one point, when Oliver?s work was essentially complete, Oliver learned through a third party that we were having problems with the electrical system in the room (which was no fault of Oliver's). Owing nothing to us, and without expecting anything in return, Oliver called us, in the evening, and walked us through a spot-on fix. This assistance was well beyond expectations. I could continue identifying ways in which Oliver helped beyond the call, and I hope this explanation is at least partially illuminating. It was a pleasure working with a team of this dedication and commitment. As for responsiveness, I called Oliver on a Tuesday, he provided me with a quote on Wednesday and his team began work on Thursday. Within ten business days, the exterior rebuild was completed. The devil is in the finishing work, which took the remainder of the time, and Oliver was a champion all the way.

The work was done professionally with high quality. I think this is a company I will hire again if needed.
