AWS Remodeling & Design Div of All Weather Systems

I guess my project wasn't big enough for them so I never heard back from them, even after he stressed to me to let him know if I wanted to move forward. Hard to make that decision when you never get a price, if they didn't want to do my project would have been need if he would have just said so.

I was very pleased with the finished bathroom. The bathroom was very outdated, and was leaking into my basement. The remodel included completely rebuilding a walk-in shower, replacing the floor and all fixtures, redoing some of the electrical components. There was no high-pressure sales tactics - I got 2 other estimates from high-pressure salesmen for companies that did not come close in price for quality. The job went exactly as guaranteed, from the initial consultation to completion. They kept my home as neat as possible and cleaned up daily. They even fixed an unrelated problem that came up in my other bathroom! I have already committed to a kitchen remodel with AWS.

they were supposed to do kitchen remodel. I paid them and never saw any work. I had to contact a lawyer and the company cancelled the contract and never refunded my money.

- the job went very well -- they are neat, efficient and stay with the job from start to finish

It was easy enough to book an appointment with AWS, a simple email with a phone call back secured my appointment for June 25th at 6:00 pm. Rick Cook met us at our house right on time. We went down into the basement to show the space that needed to be finished and after discussing some wants he proceeded to explain to me how they were going to do it (and he began repeating basically everything by code such as using the treated base plate, studs every 16and quot; for walls, cheap fiber glass insulation instead of two component spray foam insulation. etc..). After I told him, yeah that is all by code and he learned that we previously finished our previous house's basement (approximately 1250 square feet) Rick asked us if we were prepared to spend the money to finish this one professionally. He said it would start at $65 per square foot and go up from there. Doing some quick math at approximately 1000 square feet, that means this job is starting at $65,000 and only going up from there. When I inquired about an egress window he told me that was a $7000 option. At some point Rick started to tell me that he builds for attorneys, the local plumbing inspector, and still to this day I am unsure if he was telling me that they offer high quality work, that I cannot afford their services, or a combination of the two. I know my wife and I aren't very old, I am 34 and she is 31 but our gross annual income exceeds $220K. I know I can afford their services, I just don't want to get ripped off in the process of finishing this project. Last year I had a bids on our house from a reputable builder that quoted us $20K LESS. The total amount of square feet to be finished was just shy of 1000 and this included adding a bathroom (our basement currently IS NOT roughed in for the plumbing), a wet bar, and some custom build-ins. I hope I am not too harsh, I guess I am still just a little disappointed from the encounter. My wife and I plan on some major renovations to our house over the next 1 to 5 years so I was hoping I could find one contractor to continue to build a relationship with as we renovate our house. I guess I will just have to keep looking.

The project was completed in four days and the finished bathroom was done just as we agreed upon. The result was as we anticipated and looks very nice. We are very satisfied. The street name below is Davinhurst Ct. (you've spelled it wrong.)

When they come in they give you an estimate but they did not follow the bid very well. We don't feel they were honest with us. They could have done the work in a couple of days but they only worked several hours a day so it took longer. The tile work is beautiful but they left our old door on because they said a new one was not in the contract. Everything except the tile work is lousy and I will not use them again in the future.

All work was excellent and the staff professional. I absolutely love the finished work. It did take a little longer to finish than I was hoping for and they were more expensive than the other vendors we obtained estimates from. But their attention to detail and quality makes it worthwhile. And I can trust them to get the job done to my satisfaction.

The representative came to our house and looked at the kitchen and back porch. He asked us a few questions. We then scheduled a meeting to look at drawings at their location. We looked at the the drawings, but the price was higher than we could afford (although not out of line) and they did not address the back porch, which was the highest priority since the roof was leaking. There appeared to be some communication breakdowns, which was probably equally our fault and their fault. In the end we did not use them because we did not get a comfortable feeling from their representative and because they did not address our major concern, which was the porch. They wanted to contract the kitchen and then when they "got into" the porch they would talk to us about how much it would cost to replace it.
