Wells Construction

Carl Wells Construction is a reputable company owned and operated by Carl Wells. Carl and his crew are very knowledgeable about the issues associated with remodeling older homes such as ours. Carl Wells Construction has been working on various projects for us for the last three years, and we are very pleased with the work that's been done. We have not had a single problem occur with anything they've done for us. Carl takes the time to really educate us about the many options we have in terms of repair/replacement, is happy to give us the time we need to make decisions, and is more than willing to answer questions about costs and give advice based on what's best for your project rather than what's easier for his crew or more profitable for him. In fact, in our experience, he is more likely to suggest options for keeping costs down without sacrificing quality than he is to try to "sell" a more expensive option. He and his crew are very easy to work with, and keep us informed of the progress of each project we undertake with his company. We originally discovered Carl's company by word of mouth/recommendation from a mutual friend, and after working with his crew over the last three years, we trust Carl and his crew implicitly because of their honesty, reliability, excellent craftsmanship, attention to safety, and courteousness and concern for their customers. They are a real pleasure to work with in just about every way. The only negative comment I can think of is also a positive in some ways. We joke that our projects will begin on "Carl Time" - what we mean by this is that Carl's crew is not a large one, and if another project runs over or the client changes their mind about something, Carl doesn't have another crew to send on to the next project - so there have been one or two instances in which the start of our project has been delayed by the fact that someone else's project is taking longer than expected. But this is not a major issue in our eyes - we're happy to know that Carl cares enough about his work to do it right, even if changes to a project end up delaying the completion date. What we have noticed is that once Carl's crew starts your project, you have their complete attention until it's finished - this company doesn't try to juggle too many projects at once. In short, we're reminded of the old saying, "Do you want it done cheaply, quickly, and well? Please pick two." We choose cheaply and well, and we're happy to wait for it a little while if we must.
