General Contracting & Maintenance

We asked Rick to come out to give an estimate for repairs requested by the person buying our home. He was extremely diligent in taking notes about what we needed and came prepared with the inspection report in hand. He delivered a very reasonable quote the next day. We will definitely recommend him to our family and friends. Thank you Rick!!

Rick Powell can take on any construction or repair project: He is terrific. He is completely honest, well-organized, and highly skilled - really a perfectionist in doing every job perfectly. I highly recommend him. The last job was taking out and installing a new ceramic shower. Costs below include costs of materials.

He came and diagnosed the problem and returned to fix the problem at a convenient time for us. He brought everything he needed. Went right to work and finished quickly. Everything was cleaned up and he even brought the materials we used to secure the mailbox to our door. We appreciate his work done in a timely manner. Definitely will call him. Recommend him highly.

Rick and his coworker were wonderful. From the estimate to the final sanding of the drywall I could not have asked for a more courteous, professional job. I felt the price was very reasonable for the work completed and the quality of the work superb. I am so glad I found him and will use him in the future.

Rick did an excellent job and was punctual and easy to get along with both at my son's house and at our house. The work was performed at both my son's house and mine, although I can only show one location below.

The house had a lot of problems with the doors and I knew they would need new ones and the front one would need rebuilding because it was off balance due to foundation issues. Also needed new doors and glass structures and storm doors and caulk. Rick was extremely detailed and knowledgeable and had to make it right. He made sure everything was not done cheaply, but done absolutely the right way. He and Roger work well together and they took out all the molding around my window and replaced it with the right wood. Rick even noticed the gutters looked unusual and that the water was a problem when he was looking at basics for the air conditioner. He fixed the gutter draining problem after realizing the owner's before had never maintained it. He sees items that if you don't notice, down the road, they could cause problems. Rick makes sure whatever he does it is done the correct way. He is honest and very nice. He is a quality construction man and I will pick him over anyone else.

I was so impressed with the job they did I am lining up a list of projects that they can do when they get a break in their busy schedule. Ibhighly recommend Rick and Roger as they are professional and suggested a stair-step arrangement of tiles that is innovative and not so boring.

Everything went very well, he was professional and did a great job!

He does good work and he often doesn't call because I waited the whole day and he doesn't come.

Rick was great to work with. I told him I wanted to surprise my husband by putting in new hardwood floors and he was game to try. He had limited time and wasn't able to see the job before deciding to do it but he pulled it off. The floors look great, my husband is really happy and the price was right. He finished when he said he would finish and helped me out by taking away all the old carpet. I plan on using him for future projects.

Never received a phone call or message. Gave the job to someone else!

We did not have the work done. The estimate, provided by Rich, was much higher than what we expected and were willing to pay at that time. Therefore, we opted to wait until a later date to have the screened in porch converted into an all seasons room. Additionally, Rich came to our home on 11/4/2013 to review the work to be done and take measurements. I had to send a message on 11/27/2013 to ask why we hadn't heard from him when an estimate was to be provided within a week of his visit. He responded on 12/1/2013 stating that he would have the estimate within the next week. The estimate was received as promised after his response on Dec. 1st, but was, as stated previously, much more than expected,

The experience generally with the woodworking was good. It was good. When I first had them, they were very prompt but then when I was trying to get the steps done, it sounded like it might be something they could do that fall but I never heard from them. Then I called them the next spring because it was too late in the fall to start and they gave me an estimate and never sort of followed up on it. In general, I thought they did good work from the doors and I was going to have them do it, in fact I called them to have them do this railing on the steps when it is finished. I just think they didn’t want to do the concrete work, that’s why I did the CD Concrete. They cleaned up nicely. They did a good job. Rick Powell did a good job.

We typically do our own painting and repairs, but due the height of the ceilings and size of the job we had to hire professionals. We were very pleased with the effort and determination showed by Mr. Powell and his crew. It was a huge undertaking and they worked to get the job done in the time period quoted. Throughout the process we were promised that the job would be done to our satisfaction, and it was... we are extremely happy with their work and would recommend Constructive Innovations to our neighbors and friends. We would definitely use them again!

Did an excellent job diagnosing and fixing the problem, which was a broken cable, and suggested a change which I think strengthened the connection holding up the bay window. He knew his stuff and was very personable and professional. My only complaint was that he did not communicate when he could not begin when we agreed upon and I had to call him to check on what was going on. Once he .began, he completed the job efficiently and well.

My garage door wouldn't open -- there was a strange sound but no motion. He said the plastic gears in the motor ground down because there was too much stress on it b/c the wheels along the track were old, decrepit, and not running smoothly. He replaced the wheels and broken motor parts, and it works just fine now.

It went well. The job was done quickly, efficiently and well. Repairs done as necessary.

Serious water damage was discovered inside wall and across an associated major beam. These problems, along with other water-related problems elsewhere in the structure, were corrected by the company, with several days of construction and replacement. Work was timely, carefully done, and beyond excellent! The crew was responsive to my concerns, finish-work was carefully completed, and clean-up was thorough. This company deserves highevvst accolades!

Rick Powell and crew (Steve, Jesse, Craig, Roger) did a great job! I am really thrilled to find a reliable contractor and will hire them again. They used good materials (mostly red cedar), and the carpentry work was very well done. Rick is good with communication and emailed me detailed and line itemized quotes and invoices. He was prompt with the quote and gave me a start date for the work--they showed up on schedule and did a great job of getting it finished, despite winter weather challenges. The whole crew was polite and checked details as needed with me as they worked (I work at home). I had a reference photo and they did a great job at matching the railing and trim and painting details. Rick came up with some clever solutions for the handicap ramp. I am really happy with the finished result!

I selected Constructive Innovations for building a playscape/treehouse because of the very favorable reviews on Angie's list. This was purchased from a kit for a plot of land that was difficult to build on because of grading of the yard. When seeing the property, Constructive Innovations was able to suggest building a real treehouse on a stump if the damaged tree needed to be removed. We were able to save the tree and used the purchased kit instead, built by constructive Innovations. I thought the quality of the work was outstanding, they were able to improvise and come up with solutions that were better than the original. I recommend highly!

Good work. Done on time, cleaned up for the most part except a couple small things that were no big deal. Communication was good and they were willing to the projects we asked about, will use again.

It looks good as new. We will definitely use him again in the future.

All the work was done in an exemplary way. The contractor and his crew were always punctual and polite. The work was done with professionalism. The team always expressed in their words and deeds the desire to give me 100% satisfaction--and they succeeded. I chose the contractor because of his high rating on Angie's List, and I am very glad that I did. I have no hesitation in giving Constructive Innovations was highest rating and accolades. Well done, Rick!

They were very fast, used exactly the materials we needed/wanted and figured out a way to keep the squirrels from jumping onto the screen in order to reach the bird feeder! Two months later, it still looks like new.

Came promptly when called on Saturday. Did a good job!
