I utilized Ewald Construction at my home after he was referred to me by my insurance company. After completing a renovation of my existing spare bedroom, I was very pleased with the owner Kerry who provided my wife and I with wonderful customer service, good pricing and a professional and respectful crew. Kerry has great communications skills and his crew is always on time. I decided to bring Kerry and his crew to my place of business where he has now become one of our General Contractors. He has completed several jobs from painting, drywall, electrical, plumbing, tile, carpeting, demolition and mold remediation. Yes, Kerry is certified in mold remediation!! I am pleased with the knowledge Kerry brings to the table and his two crew leaders are wonderful. I will continue to use Ewald construction at my home and workplace. I would recommend Ewald Construction for any project big or small.

We had Ewald Construction come out to give us a bid, and the project manager and owner came out. They were extremely professional and informative. We went with them as we were very impressed with the proposal and the professionalism. The price came in very comparable to another competitor. We have had nothing but compliments about the basement and over a year later, everything is still great. We did have an issue with an ejector pump installed that failed (actually failed twice). The first time was still during construction. I called the project manager early on a Saturday and a plumber was there within an hour or so. The second time was about six months later, and the project manager had the plumber out a couple hours later. The plumber completely replaced the pump (at no cost). This demonstrates how Ewald stands behind their work and I couldn't have asked for better responsiveness. I would certainly have Ewald come out to bid on any other remodeling project in the future and have recommended them to friends.
Description of Work: My wife and I hired Ewald Construction to finish our basement. Our basement is about 1300 square feet. From start to finish, we had a great experience. The construction included a large family room, kids' area, and laundry room. We also had a built in entertainment center constructed, a custom made built-in toy box, and really nice custom touches (like a column to conceal a support beam, trim around all doors/windows, etc).

1. Project for bathroom remodel and repair of family room ceiling: estimated cost on contract: $12,000. Estimated time: 2 months. End cost after overage: $20,000 and we did not purchase over priced items. They under estimated us! -They recommend that we did NOT need building permit. Did not complete project for 7 months due to multiple complications: see below 2. Bathroom project: completely gutted bathroom. -They did not level the sub-flooring and there now exists a 2-3 inch slant in the floor. -due to slant in floor, shower doors not level and unable to close & stain is chipped on tracking. -due to slant in floor, multiple cracking in tile work 3. Water pipes behind shower wall were replaced due to leakage. -After initial completion of project (4-1/2 months) there was continued leakage when we started to use shower that caused another leak in the BR and family room below. -They had to cut a hole in the newly painted wall in the Bathroom to find the leak. -They had to cut a hole in the newly painted and repaired family room ceiling. -plumber came and repaired the leak; Within 24 hours the leak recurred. -A second plumber opinion(from our contacts) revealed that their plumber failed to fix the original leak correctly. 4. Within 3 months of completion of project, a large crack occurred in the corner of the shower and the back wall is mobile. We called them constantly, documented our problems. They never took responsibility for the problems! Overall, we would like you to know that this has been the worst construction company we have ever dealt with.
Description of Work: remodeled our bathroom after a leak behind the wall and repair of family room below bathroom.

Response from Ewald Construction Inc.
It is unfortunate a delusional customer can file a complaint here full of lies. I am grateful I have the opportunity to respond to such accusations. The exact amount of the original bathroom proposal for this customer was $11,899.50 and is a fixed cost bid which includes detailed line items. The change order amounted to $4,818.33 for overages incurred throughout the project. Ewald Construction Inc. keeps very detailed change orders in which every item requires customer approval prior to items being ordered or work being completed. In order for Ewald Construction Inc. to complete a project in a timely manner, we require a customer to make prompt selections and approve such overages allowing the project to move forward. In this particular project the customer took lengthy periods of time making selections and approving change orders which added to the overall project completion time. The project started July 12, 2012 and finished on Oct 4, 2012. Ewald Construction Inc. is an advocate of permits as we always do quality work up to code. It is our responsibility to educate the customer why a permit is required but it is ultimately the customer’s decision. At the beginning stages of the project, the customer stated they did not want anything fancy or overboard. We bid the project accordingly. Nevertheless, the customer decided to upgrade everything. We also pointed out the 2” drop across the floor and stated that the entire sub floor would need to be removed and new floor joists would need to be added. We also said there would be a cost to that and who knows what other cans of worms open up. The customer stated that the slant was not an issue and that they didn’t mind living with it as they have up to this point. They didn’t want to spend the extra money to fix it. Tub was installed level and shower door was level. The shower door was out of adjustment and that was fixed. There were no scratches in the shower door finish. There was a leak a month after the project was complete. In construction sometimes a pinhole leak occurs later. We did open up a small hole in wall to fix leak and then patch and paint. No other plumbing issues after that. It is absurd to say that the leak wasn’t fixed properly when they are copper pipes. There is only one way to fix it. Re-solder the joint! There was a crack in the grout down the corner of the shower in the back corner away from the valve wall two months after project was complete. This is an outside wall and it is common for expansion and contraction to occur as weather changes which sometimes causes a small crack in the corner grout. They would not let us come back and fix it even though we were attentive to the issue. Ewald Construction Inc. offers a 1 year warranty on all workmanship. Quality and customer service is our number one priority. When a customer is unreasonable and won’t let you fix an issue then there is nothing we can do. We always take responsibility for our work and still would for this customer given the opportunity.
