.

I am very satisfied with the service I received from Boulevard Building. Scott really treated me well and was very professional.

Nick Button and his partner Scott did the work with the help of subcontractors. The work was extensive including foundation, electrical and framing. They basically built a new portion of the house which required building permits. He has responded to all of my needs. They used high quality materials and the finish project is exactly what we wanted. I would recommend him to anyone. We did research on getting the best bang for our buck, and they definitely did the work with the best materials for the least expensive price. They were all very knowledgeable.

Initially, Mr. Nick Button of Boulevard Building Company LLC appeared to be an honorable man. His work appeared to show attention to detail and for the most part was very easy to work with. However, this all changed on 28 OCT 11, when I paid Nick Button the final bill and we agreed that he would be back out to finish the remaining finish work in the next couple of weeks. It unfortunately took me nearly five months to get to a position that I could get the work finished. Below is a timeline of events, so others don't fall victim to the same practice. 28 OCT 11: Nick Button finishes major work on underdeck and stairs.
