Get matched with top stucco pros in Port Charlotte, FL

"Responsive and good work."

"After numerous in-person meetings and phone calls with Joe Long [Mr. Build], I contracted him to replace four door frames at my home. The start of his work was delayed and when I contacted him, he claimed it was due to delays with the city and permitting. I then contacted the city and found this to be incorrect. I called Joe and shared that I was told by the city that this permit was available within 24 hours. Upon him starting the work, I paid nearly 40% up front. I was not on the property when he did the work as I was at our primary home out of town. His wife contacted me and stated the work was done and requested a final payment. She emailed me the invoice and asked for immediate payment. However, the invoice did not include a remittance address. I called her and let he know I needed the address so I could send a check. She provided that and a check processed direct from my bank the next day. Two days later I arrived on property and inspected the work. I was in total shock. It was clear upon visual inspection that the door frames Joe installed were not the correct ones. The overall workmanship was totally unacceptable. Not only were they inappropriate cuts made in the surrounding composite area - thus exposing areas and negating the weatherproof protection, the frames themselves were not correct, the door hinges do not match up to the frames and were installed incorrectly and despite #10 screws not fitting being counter sunk into the hinges- he attempted to install them regardless. Neither the hinges nor the screws are flush in the frames he installed. Not only is this bad workmanship - it is a safety hazard for those walking through the doors and getting hung or cut by exposed and protruding screws. As soon as I witnessed the subpar work-I contacted Joe and asked that he meet me on my property. Additionally, we immediately contacted our bank and requested a stop-payment be issued on the check we had processed. Upon Joe showing up at my home, we walked the property and examined all of the frames. He claimed that his crew was not yet done with their work and that all of the issues would be remedied. I alerted him that we had issued a stop payment and asked that he follow-up with me ASAP to discuss how this would be made right. It was at that time that Joe shared his plans to use BONDO to repair all of the areas. He also stated that he would attempt to countersink the screws but that he could not honor a warranty once that was done. Clearly these steps are unacceptable. I informed him as such via email. Wrong frames, installing hinges upside down, wrong screws and incorrect installation techniques are not fixable and will require full replacement. I alerted Joe not to be on my property further until we had agreement on how to move forward. In subsequent written communications with me he acknowledged that he in fact mistakenly ordered the wrong door frames. Why then would he have still installed the incorrect frames-not on one door-but four doors? If I wanted repaired door frames-I would have simply repaired my old door frames. I contracted with Joe for NEW CORRECT door frames. He sent a subsequent email asking if I would be willing to negotiate a lower price. I again was clear-my expectation remains the same-for NEW CORRECT door frames to be installed in a professional manner as that is what he was hired to do. At this time Joe alerted me that he would be placing a lien on my property. As of today-over 2 months since this inappropriate and completely unprofessional work was done-the door frames need to be replaced. This delay has now resulted in additional delays and expense with other work being done to our home-all of which has had to go on hold until the new and correct door frames are installed. I strongly recommend NOT using Mr. Build(Joe Long)on any future projects you are considering doing unless you want horrible workmanship."

"Three cord builders did our full home remodel from start to finish was a GREAT experience. James and his crew were professional and polite about each step we went threw, also made some great suggestions what to do and not to do. We love it thank you guys!"

"Fred was as professional as you would want his explanation and display is what made me choose this company I could not have had a better explanation of all my options thank you"

"We had Stucco repair done on the peak of my house. They did an amazing job. We confirmed a day for Ryan to come and give an estimate, then confirmed a time to have the stucco repaired. They showed up on time and did a great job. I highly recommend, It is so nice to be able to do business with a a company that is efficient and professional."

"These gentlemen show up early, work late and are extremely professional! Iâ ve given their names to many of our friends , already!"

"Leo was quick to respond to our needs. However, the tarp that he put on had to be reapplied by another company that was giving us an estimate because it wasn't working. My neighbors called with their concern because the soffit and fascia was never repaired. There was wood exposed and I was told that part wasn't part of the contract. They could come back at a later time but would cost us more money. The carport was attached to the original roof which was an eyesore. I later found out but it is not up to code by Manatee County. The carport was reattached to the original flashing which was severely damaged from being torn off of the house during the hurricane. The roof was not attached correctly. It increases the risk of further hurricane damage in the future. The carport was not completed by code. My home is at risk for further damage."
