Services we don't offer

Ask for details- Tartan has years of experience, so of course we are capable of doing most things on a home but it does not make sense for us to come out and bid a single install such as wall paper removal or a fence. We of course, would do that as part of a kitchen or bath remodel. If we are at your home for a room addition we can look at other items that may need attention. give us a call and we can talk about it.

Description of Work: They never showed up for the estimate and when I called back they said that they had taken a government contract and were too busy to work my project. I guess they were too busy to call me too.

Description of Work: I contacted this company by email and was sent a return email w/I 10 hours. I was impressed! I called and spoke with his office and waited for a call for when they were coming out to do estimate. I never heard from them and I have answering machines on both phones. It was during the holidays so I gave extra time but still nothing. I have since gotten the small job done (finishing a small bathroom re model) and am now pricing out the full kitchen remodel. I will not be calling them for the big job as my small job was of no consequence.

On 12/17/2013 we tried to point you in the direction of a handyman type of person for your needs instead of us. We did not forget about you, we just never heard from you again. If we were to be responsible for following back up with you even more, then we apologize for any inconvenience. Our phones here work very well, we just thought you were going to try to find someone who better suited your needs.

Going with James Benkis for this flooring project proved to be the right decision. Integrity and a strong work ethic were apparent in all interactions with him. The quote was prompt and reasonable; communications were clear and responsive; dependability was 100 %. This flooring project coincided with a difficult family situation. In spite of considerable stress within the household, James' demeanor was consistently professional, amiable, and courteous. It was impressive that he kindly made an effort, and easily succeeded, in establishing rapport and easing anxieties of the elderly homeowner. The work was conducted in an orderly and efficient manner. Modifications were met with a positive, can-do attitude. James is knowledgeable and highly skilled, and the end result is an example of excellent workmanship. The floor is gorgeous. It is reassuring as a homeowner with upcoming home improvement needs to know of someone in the area of this caliber. We recommend James Benkis wholeheartedly.
Description of Work: Installation of flooring (ceramic tile and composite wood) in a large area; involved moving of furniture and extensive floor preparation.

He was very responsive. He took time to explain some logistics. We were trying to move our washing machine dryer from upstairs. He did the job without damaging the wall. His price was reasonable and we will definitely use his services again.

He did exactly what he said he was going to do and he stuck to the quote he provided me with. He completed the work in the time frame he told me he would. He did a good job and was pleasant to work with.

I arranged an appointment to meet with the contractor, but he never showed up or called to indicate that he was not going to make the appointment. I understand how life gets busy, but the contractor could have given me the courtesy of calling to cancel and/or reschedule, rather than leaving me hanging. I hired another contractor for the work.

Response from Tartan Construction
I have reviewed our company call logs and appointment calendar back through the beginning of this year and can find no record of speaking with the member, or of scheduling an appointment with him. I am not sure if he has mistaken our company for another one that he spoke to (we often receive calls from prospective customers who are requesting multiple bids from several contractors for their projects), but our practice is to enter our incoming calls to our call log and our confirmed appointments in our computer calendar and then follow up by email or phone call to confirm the appointment. Occasionally we have a technician who is unable to keep an appointment due to not completing a previously scheduled job or appointment as quickly as expected, but they will typically check in with the office so we can let our prospective customer know the circumstances and reschedule as soon as possible. I am sorry that the member feels our company let him down, but I have no records that indicate he called ever our office or scheduled an appointment with us. ~ Barbara Murphy, Office Manager, Tartan Construction.

During the actual wok he was mindful of my property and my household. He never interrupted our lives while he completed the work. He was there for almost a week and he cleaned up each day. The room ended up looking awesome and after I painted it, I was able to move my son back in. He is very happy to have a nice clean room. Many thanks James.
Description of Work: I needed a total remodel of a room for a special needs child. The room was ruined due to the flooding rains on Saturday June 19 2012. There was drywall, insulation, framing issues that arose and James came in with a good estimate for the work.

Tartan Construction has experienced a boom in business, so work was scheduled more slowly than before. Once work began, it was done quickly, thoroughly and professionally. One of the reasons we stick with Tartan is that the men hired are polite and work hard; they know their business. They are bonded and insured; they have excellent safety practices. They also leave the work area clean and neat at the end of each day, and at the end of each job. The work is done to an exacting standard.

On Oct. 13th I called Tartan Construction and spoke with Barbara. I told her that the main thing is that my sky light needed to be repaired as soon as possible. I also told her that I want my kitchen totally renovated. She seemed extremely please that there was so much work to do for me. She said that the renovation would be $135.00 a square foot. I told her that sounded reasonable and that I was looking forward to having someone come out and give me an estimates. She told me she would call in in two weeks. Her guys were busy renovating an old house. We left it at that. I called back today and she she told me she didn't know when the crew would be available. This has been almost four months now. I told them it is to late I have hired some one else. This would have been about a $35,000 job for them.

Response from Tartan Construction
I am just now seeing this review (on 11/28/12 -?) and wanted to respond to Member's comments. I was hopeful, at the time Member made her initial contact with our company, that our crews would be able to bid and schedule her work. I do not recall giving her a per-square-foot price, as that can vary GREATLY depending on the job site, scope of work and other considerations -- which is why we send out our GC to survey the job before providing a written estimate with a detailed scope of work. Unfortunately, our crews had current projects that took longer than expected. Quality is our highest priority -- which sometimes causes remodeling projects to go on longer than expected due to finding unforeseen issues which take unplanned-for time to properly remedy. Our GC also had scheduled another project for an existing client following, and was unable to meet with Member on her needed timetable to bid or complete her work. She let me know by phone that she was very disappointed that we were unable to bid her work (as was I -- she seemed like a very nice person -- and I'm sure that the contractor she hired will benefit from knowing and working with her and hopefully she with him.) 99% of our work is done for repeat and referral clients. We do not want to disappoint, and do our best to communicate accurately our availability to bid and complete new work requests. We do prioritize our existing clients first, and often work 6 day weeks to handle unexpected emergencies (water damage restoration, for example) for them when they call us on short notice. ~ Barbara Murphy, Office Manager, Tartan Construction

I had used them previously. He is absolutely fabulous. He never does anything halfway. He thinks things through and if he is lacking in an area he brings people in with that expertise. There is always something unexpected when you are doing remodels and he is a pro at dealing with that. I will continue to deal with him because he is so painstaking and he does the work well. I think I get my value for the money.
Description of Work: I used Tartan Construction to remodel a bathroom and they installed handicap features in another bathroom because my mother is coming for a visit.

From the beginning we were blown away by Dave's professionalism. Dave has excellent communication skills, and is good at explaining pros and cons to ideas we have proposed. Dave never tried to push us to do projects we didn't need, and when he made a suggestion, it made sense. Every project has come in on time and on budget; the last one was actually under budget. His subcontractors are held to a high standard; work must be done to exact standards and the area is left clean when finished. We feel so blessed; Dave is honest and fair, and we always know we can count on him to deliver what he promises - even more.
Description of Work: We have used Tartan Construction multiple times in the Pensacola area, with two separate homes. Our first project was a combination remodel/renovation. Dave made helpful suggestions and even discouraged a costly project that would not have been cost-effective. The project scope included electrical, drywall, painting, and roof repairs. A second project protected our home from potential hurricane damage. The most recent project included a total home rewire, painting and restoring the entire home to live-in condition.
