The job went perfect and I am enjoying the balcony every weekend.

It took a follow up phone call to reach the company. After making an appointment for him to come out and take a look at the door I wanted replaced he advised he would e-mail a proposal by the next day. It is now 2 days later and I have not heard a thing. The door was to be replaced because of a burglary and I was very anxious to have it done as soon as possible. Unresponsiveness only added to my frustration.

He was here on time. In fact, he called me two hours before to verify the appointment. He knew exactly what he was doing. He spoke to me, took his time, didn't rush. He gave me an itemized list for the estimate. He was excellent. His price is the lowest I have had so far and it is without a discount.

They were selling our house, and we needed a bunch of things fixed. He was very trustworthy. I was in two different places. We used him in Orlando, and we have moved in Jacksonville. We were not even there, but he followed through with everything what we asked him to do. He kept in contact through e-mails and phone calls. He updated us on what was going on, and he did a good job.

We had a major leak in our kitchen under the sink. Water had damaged the drywall behind the sink and the backs of the sink cabinet and the cabinet adjacent to that one. The exact leak location was detected by another company and the wall which contained the pipe with the pinhole leak was accessed by tearing a hole from outside of the house through the drywall under the sink into our kitchen.The cabinet under the sink had to be removed as well as the adjacent one. When our kitchen had been remodeled several years before, the countertop was installed last. It is a huge u-shaped countertop about 20 linear feet long with one miter joint. This was going to be a problem as our cabinets were sandwiched between that huge countertop and the cement floors below. However, the cabinet also had to be lifted over the tile lip on the floor since the tile was installed after the cabinets. This was a real problem since the company that made our new cabinets 8 years ago is no longer in business and we could not get the same cabinet fronts to match the existing ones. We were going to have to replace all of the kitchen cabinet fronts. Randall removed the sink, and propped up the countertop.He then carefully removed the cabinets He had a cabinet maker remake the damaged back of the cabinets, leaving the existing front which was not damaged.. So he was able to remove the cabinets without removing the countertop. His cabinet maker repaired the cabinets and they were better than the original as he used a good plywood instead of particle board. The dimensions were perfectly reproduced. Randall performed all of the repairs quickly and neatly and was able to leave everything as it had been prior to the leak. This is the second time we have had him do a complicated repair job in our home and he is remarkably skilled.

Great work, still waiting for material to fix the chimney top.

Of the five contractors we called, only two gave us a quote. They came up with two very different solutions to the problem. We decided to go with Randall's design. This was a very professional operation. designs were drawn by an architect, all permits were pulled and regulatory hoops jumped through (including Historic Preservation). They were ALWAYS here when they said they were coming. We had a few delays due to the roofing sub-contractor, but otherwise the work moved at a steady pace. Everyone who came to our project were regular employees; there were no day laborers! Everyone spoke english, so when I had a question or wanted to discuss something, we were able to communicate. Randall was not here the entire time, as he had a number of projects, but he did come by every day to check on the progress of the project. The window issues were caused by a variety of problems which they were able to figure out and repair. Due to the age of our house, the siding had to be special ordered which also caused a delay, but they were able to match it perfectly. All surfaces were painted with either paint we already had or matching the paints we did not have. The deck was sealed with an oil based finish which is beautiful and extremely water repellent. They sealed all joints before painting. They used rollers and brushes, not sprayers, which put the paint exactly where it was needed, and not anywhere else. The team was very neat. They cleaned up before leaving everyday. It is never easy having work done on the house, but they made it as unobtrusive as they could. We will definitely hire them again!

You will be happy if you hire him. He returned my calls promptly and was in the same price range as another contractor whom I had received a quote.

I found Randall's General Construction here on Angie's List. We needed our old kitchen countertops updated, but didn't have the need to go custom. Lowe's had some really nice pre-made countertops made by Belanger so we went with those. We installed the small one first as the 'guinea pig' and found that if we wanted to have the kitchen done by Christmas, we'd better call in some help!That's where Randall came in. I described the job over the phone and asked for a ball-park figure to budget in. Randall was able to do that and also estimated how long it would take to do the job. We made an appointment for the work.He showed up when he said he would and had all the right tools and a helper, too. It became apparent that the walls were very out of square at the corner where the miter would be, making a relatively easy job into a difficult one and adding hours to the job. I never heard any complaining or muttering from either men and they maintained their professional manner throughout. The job was finished and the kitchen clean by the time they left. Communication was great, he was very fair, and I would not hesitate to use this company again for my upcoming bathrooms remodel, or to recommend him to my friends for any construction work they might need done.

Randall is very conscientious and skilled. When the first inspector came to check the concrete foundation on the porch, he said Randall had actually done more than he had to to meet code. That was encouraging. The only problems we had (delays) came from subcontractors. He is a good designer. The wood frame and screen enclosure he built over our grills is beautiful. He was careful about keeping a visual balance. He has a talent for blending an addition into the existing structure so it looks like it was built that way to begin with. The walkway out front is so attractive, a realtor friend asked for his name for modernizing other houses. We have recommended him to friends and relatives with confidence.

Mr. Anderson came out and carefully examined the situation and gave us the best and worst case scenarios. He gave us a couple of options and his opinion about how to deal with the problem. There was no pressure and he seemed very knowledgeable about the possibilities and how to do the repairs. He also gave us an estimate on price and the time required to complete the task. The work was completed within the estimated time and we were pleased with the cost. It was a big job which required the removal of most of the new windows, cleaning out the rot, pouring new cement and replacing the old rotten cedar with new. He brought out a huge piece of new carpet to cover our light-colored berber on the porch floor so that nothing damaged or soiled our carpet. There were two workers. They worked from early morning until evening and worked quietly and skillfully. There was good attention to detail and the room looks better than it did before. We have had many companies come out to do work at our home and I have to say, these are some of the neatest and most professional guys. I would recommend them to anyone. I have seen one other remodeling job they did first-hand and again, the work is excellent and professional.

We met with Randall and 2 other designers and contractors to lay out the scope of the initial project. Randall and his designer (architect) listened and understood what we were trying to build. They developed a scope of work that met our desires and worked with us to establish a realistic budget for the project. The difficulties of melding a new construction with an existing footprint were effectively solved and resulted in a beautiful Roofed Outdoor living area that includes an outdoor fireplace, TV and full kitchen. The second phase of the project included the job to construct a Home Theater in an unfinished space over the garage. again they effectively translated our dreams into a home Theater that is the envy of our friends. We have since used Randall for several small repair jobs and have always found him to be reliable and infinitely honest in his dealings with us. We are now planning some small additional work and will rely upon Randall to complete it. I strongly recommend that if you are considering Repair or Remodel work that you give him consideration.

Recently, I asked Randall to repair some wood rot on an exterior garage pedestrian door trim.....he found that the door itself and the frame were severely rotted in several places and needed to be replaced. He picked up the door, replaced it along with some damaged trim, painted it and installed a new door knob in a day and a half. he also disposed of the rotted door and left the premises cleaner than when he arrived!!
