Post & Beam Design/Build

Everything was excellent. They took everything. I was so lucky to have this company. Its so wonderful.

The whole team at Post and Beam Design and Build from the office staff to the carpenter were very responsive and easy to work with. The kitchen is beautiful and so much more functional than the old one. Through out the process I received some great ideas and the quality of the workmanship was excellent. The team was very prompt and professional and left the area tidy at the end of each day. They took steps to contain the mess in the construction area so that dust didn't spread to the rest of the house.

Everything went as planned and on completed on schedule. Would definitely contract with Post & Beam for future projects.

My husband and I started with a phone call to the Post & Beam office. They took our information and with in the week, we met with Bill Fannin. He listened to all of our hopes and wishes for the new space. He offered suggestions and was very polite when we disagreed with his ideas or offered several of our own. He then went back to the office and worked out an job cost and design that fit our budget. When he presented it, he was able to provide us with different materials that would save money and allow us to stay close to our budget. Once we signed the Construction Agreement, they began demolition within the time frame we agreed upon. This stage was the worst, but I could tell the crew did everything in their power to control the dust and to clean up as best they could each day. As the job progressed, it was wonderful to see it all come together. Half way through, we changed our mind about the placement of cabinets and Bill Fannin handled it with patience and understanding. He went out of his way to meet our needs and move the job along so that it could finish on time. We love the final product and are so glad we went with Post & Beam Design\Build.

The proposed project involved a 172 SF kitchen addition, remodeling of old 88 SF kitchen into a powder room and mudroom and a 75 SF entry porch. It is also included replacing 15 windows and a front door. In the initial meeting, Bill Fannin gave a rough estimate of $50,000 to $75,000 for the entire project. I signed up for their $600 preliminary design consulation. Three weeks after the consulation, they gave me a preliminary budget estimate of $161,708 - more than 100% over the rough estimate. For the kitchen/powder room/mudroom space of 260 SF, that works out to more than $500 PSF. Total materials for the project are about $60,000, $7,000 to $10,000 for plumbing and electrical, leaving $90,000+ for carpentry labor and PROFITS. I immediately saved $8,522 (39.5%) by contracting the replacement window and door portion to the Marvin window dealer. Oh yes, I was billed for a $479 cost overrun on the design consulation. ADVICE: Proceed with extreme caution.
