STONECREST BUILDERS

From the start it was apparent that this contractor was only interested in clients with a lot of money and no experience. Having built a number of houses myself and been in the construction industry for over 40 years I had a good idea of what I wanted. After expressing my budget limit to the builder I forwarded my sketches for refinement. The first set of drawings I received back had no resemblance of my sketches and there was no budget. I spent the next three months trying to get drawings that reflected what I wanted. I never received any drawings that reflected my sketches and finally asked for a budget based on the drawing that the contractor had developed. The price was twice what I had told the contractor I wanted to spend. At this point it was time move on. I had provided the contractor with a deposit and when I stopped the work I never hear from the contractor. Considering the drawing were never finished and didn't reflect what I had asked for and having spent months trying to get the drawing to reflect my design I figured there should be some money left from my deposit. So a year later I contacted the builder to see if there was anything left from the deposit. Knowing how some contractors operate I figured either the contractor would be fair or play games. Unfortunately they elected to play games. After contacting the builder and waiting another three months I got a bill since, according to the contractor, he spend more than the deposit for the drawings. It's curious and questionable how after a year the contractor never contacted me to collect on the supposed overrun but as soon as I contacted him on a credit he came back with a bill. Throughout the design phase when I contacted the builder for a status he had no idea of what was going on and I would have to spend time telling him where things where. I would stay away from this contractor unless you want to spend much more than you need to, want this contractor to tell you what they are going to build, and take much longer than typically needed to build it.

He never showed up when guys would show up to do a job, the man that owns the company subcontracted companies, they didn't do a proper job on my roof and they didn't extend the roof over the top of my deck. They were very difficult to get them to come and finish the work after about six months.
