Owings Brothers Contracting

Owings was not cheap. But throughout the process they were professional, polite, and ready to do the right thing even if it meant additional cost that Owings absorbed. (One example on this last point: Our screened porch addition did not spec brick facing for the footers, but Owings thought it should be done, suggested it, and did the work at no additional charge.) Owings men were on site for several months. My wife always felt safe with them there. If there were anything left that needed doing -- there isn't -- I wouldn't hesitate to call Owings again. This contractor consistently delivered fine work and went out of its way to please us.

The work was completed in roughly 3+ mths. Overall we are pleased with the results. The effort didn't go without an incident or two; however the Owing response was prompt and appropriate. We were treated fairly when we had an issue concerning billing or the result of work performed. The workers were always courteous and respectful; including times when our household wasn't ready to receive them. Our experience was positive and we would certainly use them again.

Ownings Brothers Contractors showed up on time and they cleaned up after themselves. They worked with us on the pricing and we thought that their prices were very fair and in line with other estimates we had got. We were not in the same state during the remodel and so we did everything long distance. The site manager would contact us before they would do anything to make sure it was correct. They were very professional and we were very pleased.

We couldn't have been happier with Owings Bros. They were very dependable, polite, considerate, communicative and committed to the highest quality. The project lasted over 6 months; fortunately we weren't living there at the time. They honored their original estimate except we decided on a number of upgrades during the process (upgraded wood floor, doors, etc.) and they clearly wrote out the extra costs involved so there was never any misunderstanding. We had a wood burning fireplace and hearth built from cultured stone, for which they used a subcontractor. We were pleased with the results but did notice a few places where the mortar looked too thick or a stone stuck out a bit. But since it was a rustic style, we didn't mind. The project supervisor (one of the Owings Bros.) arrived, looked over the work and without us saying anything said it was unacceptable and had the subcontractor come back and rip it out and redo it to his satisfaction. (The rest of the subs were great)

They were so professional. The work was started within a week of the deposit & completed a month ahead of schedule. They showed up every day, informed us of each step, all of their employees & subcontractors were professional, polite & accommodating. A pleasure to work with; I really felt I could trust them. They completed all of the building work before opening the new addition into our house so we had no dust/mess inside while they worked. The estimate was exactly on target so no additional costs were found after they started. They were referred to me by 5 separate people who had work done by them, worked with them on other projects (architect), or had seen their work (0ur carpenter). They keep you informed, quick to resolve any problems (issue w/our neighbor & the on site equipment. Highly recommend.

OVERALL, CONSIDERING THE EXPANSIVE AND INTRUSIVE NATURE OF THE PROJECT, THE EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT. VERY PROFESSIONAL COMPANY FROM INITIAL CONSULTATION THROUGH CONCEPTUAL DESIGN TO ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION AND FINISHING. ALL PHASES EMPLOYED VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF WITH REQUISITE SKILLS. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
