We have hired Bruce and Covington Home Improvements in the past and were very happy with him so were not surprised it went well - some delays as is common with any project - nothing due to Bruce's fault. Had more to do with weather, delivery delays, and unforeseen problems with some electrical issues. Very satisfied with the work - Bruce is always so good about doing things the way you want it. There were some problems with the paint not 'sticking' on some of the closet doors and Bruce did his best to correct it. Has even offered to work on it more when the weather warms up this spring if we have any more problems with it. Not sure if it's a paint issue or door finish problem - time will tell.
Description of Work: Remodel/oversee work done on loft/game room, great room, paint, new trim, new windows, replace switch plates, new lighting fixtures, new door hardware, new spindles on stairway, and other work involved in remodel. The really nice thing about Bruce is if he sees a problem, he will fix it.
This was a very large job and I got 3 quotes originally. I found and met Bruce (Covington Home Improvements) through Angie's List (first time using Angie's List). Let me start by saying I had an open spending limit (within reason). Bruce was aware of this yet did not take advantage of that knowledge. He was great to work with. He stayed in contact with me throughout the job so I knew when he (or his crew) would and wouldn't be there, etc. He had no problem with me being around a lot and asking lots of questions (to learn, not to be a bother) though I'm sure I was a bother at times, too lol. He treated my home as if it were his own. The sub-contractors he is affiliated with were every bit as wonderful to work with. I've even since used his HVAC man for some other work. Many years ago I had a very bad experience with a large job (a different contractor in a different city) so I was a little gunshy. Bruce got me past all that very quickly and finished just as strongly as he started the job 2 months earlier. When I found a single item that we (both) forgot I called Bruce and he was literally out the very next day to take care of it at no (added) cost to me. Bruce and ALL of his sub-contractors have great ideas and designs and I am so glad I wasn't closed minded. I listened and used many of their idea's and am so pleased with the finished work. Bruce will be the first and only person I'll contact if and when I need more work done in the future.
Description of Work: A lot of concrete work. Installed new windows. installed new french doors where none existed. Added new attached and finished interior garage. New siding. New gutters. Repaired water-damaged floor joists. Added wiring for generator to run whole house. And many other minor to major repairs.

The owner came, talked up a great storm about how good he was, said he'd get back to us in a few days with a quote. We waited a week and had to call him. He said he still needed a few days and would call us back. He made it sound like we'd be next on his list of jobs. We were all ready to get going with the project. We never heard from him again. We waited 4 weeks and have now started contacting others. Why didn't he at least call us back instead of wasting 4-5 weeks of prime building time?
Description of Work: We wanted a 3 season room addition

Description of Work: Owner came to look over possible project and said he'd get back to us with a quote. He seemed very excited and said we'd be next on the list after the project he was currently working on. He said he'd get back to us with a quote in a few days. After a week we called him and he said he needed two more days and then he'd call us. After almost 6 weeks we still have not heard from him. What a waste of time for us. Very disappointing!

The final product is far beyond our expectations. We are thrilled with how our kitchen looks. It was a two phased project with the garage and porch first and then the kitchen. It looks as if it has always been here. He gives sound advice as to what will work and what won't . He gives suggestions on what he thinks you might want and goes with the flow. Very easy to work with. I would never hire anyone else to do any more work on my house. Although at this point, we are pretty much done. I have recommended him to 2-3 other people I know and they have hired him.
Description of Work: I asked him to do a complete kitchen remodel. This was the second job I had him do for me. The first being a garage addition with a screened porch attached onto the back. He knows all the right people to bring into the job and if you are not happy with the work they do, he sees to it that someone else comes in or that the job gets done to your satisfaction.

Bruce gave suggestions that enhanced my original plans. This was very helpful, as there were items I had missed in my planning. Bruce selected his suppliers and other craftsmen with care. Everything was completed and the details looked after. I highly recommend Covington Home Improvement without any reservations.
Description of Work: Bruce gutted and remodeled the kitchen, 1/2 bath, entry hallway, and den in my 58 year old house. Everything was beautifully done. Workmanship was excellent. I now have an open concept, that is wonderful and convient to use. I have received many compliments on the completed work. Bruce removed walls, moved a closet, added walls, and replaced anything that needed repair before new materials were installed. The basement also received a new look, with new stairs, a warren of rooms removed, and storage added. It is now open and airy and has a family room look, instead of a dungeon!

Bruce was great! Very good at answering any questions we had, and very patient when I had a hard time making decisions. He organized the sub contractors in a timely manner, and made sure the work was done to satisfaction. We used some sub contractors we already knew and he was great working with them, too. He kept us informed and up to date on what was happening. He also kept things as neat and tidy as possible. He did a super job with a hanging sliding door. I don't know that he had ever done one, and it works great! He built a wood valance for it to hide the hardware (track) so it looks great, too. We wish we had known about him 18 years ago when we originally built this house! He is knowledgeable without being arrogant and is just a really nice guy to work with. We are so pleased that we found him on Angie's List!!
Description of Work: We did a major remodel of our master bed/bath and sunroom. It involved a bit of everything - removing walls, building walls, new windows, paint, sliding glass door, etc. Moved the bathroom to the other side of the room. We completely reconfigured the space. He also installed a dog door in the sunroom.
Description of Work: We had a 500 sq ft 2 room addition added to the back of the house. It was a bedroom and dining room. The owner of the company did the majority of the work and sub contracted out the electrical, dry wall and insulation. We are very pleased with the quality of the work.

I guess I was too small of a job for him to bother with, or that's the impression I was left with after all the contacts.
Description of Work: I contacted this company in the fall of 2010. I needed a small amount of wood siding work done on my home. He came and looked at the job and said he'd have to get some siding to do the job. I called him 6 weeks later and he'd lost my information but remembered the job. Said it was too late in the season to do the work, too cold to paint, and for me to check back with him in the spring. I did so in March of 2011, said he'd get on it within the month, and never showed. I called him in April and he said he was swamped, so I got a different contractor.

He acted like he knew what he was doing. He had to come several times for the jobs. I would not have had him come again if he didn't do a good job.
Description of Work: I was very pleased with him. We had a pretty bad storm and some tiles blew off. I had him put in some reinforcement from the floor to the ceiling in the basement.

I called and called and left messages and he never responded, the following week he finally answered my call and said ohhh i guess i should have called you its just too much for me, its over my head. he should have answered my calls and told me right away, now i have had to contact another contrator to try and get this bathroom fixed asap! he knew how badly this room needed fixed and he left us hanging not knowing what was going on.

Response from COVINGTON HOME IMPROVEMENTS INC
I went to the member's job with the intention to give an estimate on installing a bathtub, vanity, dry-wall repair, and the surface repairing of a floor. However the plumber noticed the floor seemed to have structural problems. He said he would come back and check under the crawl-space and to look at any additional plumbing needed. He informed me that the job appeared to have structural problems in the crawl-space and looked as though the home needed to be jacked up and have floor joices replaced. During this time, I was in South Carolina for 3 days visiting my son in law as he graduated from the Army. I felt this was enough time for the plumber to figure things out and report back to me when I returned. When I returned I received a voicemail from the member. When I finally spoke with the member, I explained the problems and informed her that she would need someone with foundation experience to repair the damage and that I would be happy to help her with her bathroom repair after the foundation damage is repaired was completed. Covington Home Improvements Inc. does not have a signed contract with the member and I felt we were still in negotiations over the work to be completed. I pride myself as owner for being Up-front and honest with my customers, however when additional work arises prior to the start of a job, sometimes things can take longer than expected in determining cost and planning. Hopefully the member can find someone to fix the foundation of her home and I would be pleased to help her in the future with her bathroom remodeling.
Bruce Debolt is extremely easy to work with, he is thorough, honest, his quality of work is excellent and he and his team were there every step of the way. Bruce offered lots of good ideas in which we implemented many of them and we are certainly glad we did. The remodel he did for us is awesome he extended our family room with much needed square footage and opened it up with beautiful windows, it is like he brought the outside in it is so cozy and serene. The other contractor's Bruce hired for the electrical, drywall, cement, guttering etc. were also great to work with. They were professional, courteous and very neat they all made this a very stressfree experience for us. We can depend on Bruce and his team for any project we need done no matter how big or how small. We have and will continue to recommend Covington Home Improvement to anyone who needs a great contractor.
Description of Work: Added additional footage (18 x 12) onto our family room. Drywall/Cathedral Ceiling Added and updated electrical Removed popcorn ceilings and replaced with spanish lace Added and updated lighting Installed windows Installed new guttering around entire house Repairs to existing structure where needed.
This contractor is awesome!! Totally professional! During the planning stages, he was extremely helpful. After reviewing the old blueprint for our home, he came up with several great ideas, all of which we implemented. His expertise made things we never would have imagined possible a reality. He was onsite overseeing his subcontractors and made sure everything was up to his standards down to the last detail. When I made changes (who doesn’t?) it wasn’t the least bit stressful, as he implemented them with professionalism and courtesy. Bruce DeBolt is a true general contractor. When an unforeseen problem came up he handled it. We never had to solve a problem on our own. He never made it “our problem.” Our last remodeling experience was a nightmare. What a difference a great contractor makes! We couldn’t be happier!! Friends are amazed at the transformation after seeing the before pictures. He’s already gotten calls from some for their future projects. We have contracted him to do our next project, the screen porch and patio area. When it’s time for our roof to be replaced, we will be calling him. You can’t go wrong with Covington Home Improvements! It’s great to work with someone you can trust! Bruce was referred to us and we are referring him with no hesitation.
Description of Work: Major remodel and updating. Designed & remodeled master bath and master closet, totally remodeled kitchen and dining area. All new cabinets and appliances, painted whole house, installed all new flooring, redesigned fireplace mantle and covered the surround with granite.
