Rich has actually done 3 jobs in our home. The quote entered here is for a reconstruction of our fireplace (and support below). He did an INCREDIBLE job. He is by FAR the most professional, thorough, trustworthy and considerate (very neat, never left a mess, no collateral damage) construction professional I have come across in a long, long time. My husband and I are so very happy we met Rich and his manager, Chris. The fireplace is in our living room, which has a cathedral ceiling. Originally in drywall and a cracked, flat hearth with a ugly, pitted brass frame, it is nothing short of reborn! Rich determined it was necessary to do extensive support work below the chimney as our living room is on the second floor. The original support work was inadequate to support facing the entire column with stone (the sagging was obvious). Rich took careful calculations, spoke with an engineer, then explained the two options that would maintain integrity and stability. It was necessary to install multiple, huge engineered beams in the garage below the fireplace/living room- which was done thoroughly and without damage to our garage (looks better now than it did) or garage doors. He then prepped the column the fireplace was in to support the weight of the stone and 55" TV we decided to mount above the fireplace and built the hearth to support the granite we chose. He made suggestions re: the type of fireplace we might like (I chose a pattern from a fireplace design website), then scouted out various options for stone and met me at a local tile company. I purchased directly from both the tile company and granite company, thereby saving me money (no markup). His tile/stone subcontracting crew was equally professional, punctual and courteous (Jime and crew from North Augusta). Rich and Chris also ended up removing some old speakers that had been mounted in the ceiling, removing an old ceiling fan, mounting new lights, mounting a new ceiling fan on the third floor, installing the TV mount and the TV. Chris even helped me with the Smart TV software and helped me sign up on Hulu Plus. They are full service!!!! I can't say enough how happy we are with the outcome- it looks EXACTLY like the picture I picked out- it is like magic!!! And all at a fair price. We have since had him come back and finish out a laundry room that another contractor abandoned us with ( AND TOOK $2 THOUSAND DOLLARS-AVOID CT construction and Farm Management). We already have a couple of other projects for him in the new year!!! THANK YOU RICH HINSON/ALTA CONSTRUCTION AND ANGIE'S LIST!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
