I know this review is late Patrick, so I want to apologize to you, for my tardiness. I had some work that had to be completed with my 1st and 2nd level back porches. I called Patrick of Elam contracting for an estimate, Patrick responded to my call and set an appointment to write an estimate. Patrick showed up on time to give me the estimate and to my surprise gave me a great price on what would be needed, which I took no more estimates and went with Elam contracting. He advised me when he would start work and that it may only take a day or two. Patrick and his crew completed the job within a day and I was totally satisfied with the finished product. Patrick and his crew cleaned up everything and I liked his personal touch during the whole process. Thanks to Patrick and to his crew, I will be using you in the future. I want to Thank Angie's list for another great contractor.
Description of Work: I needed my 1st level porch post put back in to support my second level porch, I had what you call a floating 2nd level porch, which there was virtually no support.. I had to have my railing on 1st level rebuilt, I needed repairs completed on my second floor porch.

My daughter recommended Elam Contracting based upon her past experience with their work products. I contacted Patrick Elam to view the areas where I wanted the work performed and discuss the overall scope of the project. He visited and scoped the level of effort and type materials required. Patrick then provided a project plan/cost estimate the next day. I have to say the scope of work included a and quot;serviceand quot; normally outside Elam's core offerings, but Patrick graciously agreed to include it so I only needed to do and quot;one stopand quot; shopping. After accepting his proposal, the work was quickly scheduled and completed over 2 1/2 days. On the final work day, the workmen stated they were staying, no matter how long, until the job was completed. The Elam work team was friendly, courteous and top rate craftsmen with a professional demeanor. I would add they're one of the hardest working and most diligent I've ever encountered. An excellent outcome that significantly enhances the value of my home was achieved! I couldn't be more pleased.
Description of Work: Installed wainscoting flat panel "box trim" throughout the entrance foyer, main hallway, stairway to the second level and the second level hallway.

Patrick came to the table with a cost that was $10K less than another contractor for a higher grade Trex product. His work crew showed up on time and were very hard working. They demolished the old deck and built the new within 1 week. When the job was finished, they cleaned up my yard of all the waste. The new 2 level deck is beautiful. Looks better than I ever imagined. They came back about a week later and built a lovely pergola on the side of my yard. This was done within 2 days. His team is TOP RATE! Very hard working, professional and courteous. Patrick and his team took a very tired looking deck/backyard and turned it into a gorgeous living area for a very fair price. Elam contracting will be the first call I make if I ever need any more work! You guys are simply the BEST!
Description of Work: Demolished existing Deck. Rebuilt Deck and second level. Built Pergola.

When we decided to build a deck, we drove around our neighborhood looking at other decks and all the ones we liked had and quot;Elam Contractingand quot; signs on them. Pat Elam drew up plans for our deck, we quickly agreed on the plans and the price and the work was done on schedule and on budget. Our deck is now almost seven years old and has held up beautifully. When we needed a minor repair, he fixed it himself at no charge. I would not hesitate to use Elam Contracting again or to recommend him.

They were recommended to us by the home inspector. They came over and built the small deck, so we could let the dogs out through the back because they did not have a deck built. They did such great work that we just went with them again. My overall experience with him was awesome. We had three people come in and give us different quotes and they were. We are always weary of quotes that come under of what usual quotes are, but we just liked their personality and honesty and the quality of work is phenomenal. They guarantee their work for a year and if anything happens they will come back in a heartbeat and fix it. We had a board from the deck that randomly crack because of our dog rough playing on the landing and the worker just came out, cut the board, and reinstalled it at no charge and that was awesome. They listened to everything, sat down together, and sketched out what we wanted and what was actually possible within the realm of the backyard and so forth. Along the way we just made modifications to our plans and we finally ended up coming up with something that was really nice. My wife was completely pleased, she is ecstatic. The owner has now actually become a friend of ours. He has a son the same age as son and they ended up being in the same jujitsu class. He is a great guy and he stopped by every single day to check on his employees to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to and he will ask me if everything is good. The workers are phenomenal and we just go through the motions and stuff. They come the time they say they are going to and stay a little bit longer if the weather is good. They have the best interest in the project of anybody else and not just like a group that comes in, does what they are told, and moves on, so they are very friendly as well.

They were recommended to us by our homeowners association. It is a small construction company. They quoted us $22000 for the work. It is a big deck and the screen room itself is 17 by 20. We used them when we first moved here and they did such great work that we just went with them again.
