Description of Work: I spoke with someone from this builder, and was told that they are extremely busy and so are fortunate enough to be able to choose their projects. Our budget did not match up with the price of homes that they build, so we did not pursue a further meeting.

Description of Work: I had a total gut and remodel of kitchen floors of entire first floor either refinished or replaced. I did demo removing old paneling from kitchen, TV room, office and hall, which they replaced with new dry wall. I had a set budget with a 20% contingency fee. The final cost went over budget, over contingency by at least another 10%. I'm afraid to add it all up.

Description of Work: Meadowlark Builders did a great job. They renovated the entire main floor and upper floor of our condominium. They responded to all our inquiries promptly and courteously, and the workmanship was excellent. The worked very well with the condo management and our neighbors. What struck us most was their integrity, never complaining when we asked to change something that wasn't exactly what we wanted, always checking health and safety issues beyond what we thought of, and continuing to come back to address smaller issues promptly long after we had paid them in full. (Reviewer not listing full contract price.)

Meadowlark is an outstanding home building company with very helpful, polite, and friendly staff. They have hired an independent company to measure their customer satisfaction and their overall satisfaction rating is nearly 100%. We worked mainly with Gary in the initial stages of planning and designing a custom, green-built, energy efficient home. Gary is great and truly cares about his clients, has a passion for his job, and it is clear that he wants to make a difference by building affordable green homes. We also met with the company's architect, Melissa, who was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly as well. Overall, we met with Melissa once and Gary three or four times. The company is an expert in green building technologies, extreme energy efficiency, and solar and geothermal energy technologies. In the end, we found a previously-built home that we loved and bought, but would highly recommend Meadowlark to anyone interested in a green home. I should say that they are quite a bit more expensive than standard home building companies due to their custom and energy efficient building strategies.

We asked Meadowlark Builders to give us an estimate for a major remodeling project. We were very impressed by their professionalism throughout the entire process. They are certainly very approachable and it was clear to us very early on that they listen to their customers. I would recommend them to anyone who is thinking about building a custom home or starting a remodeling project.

It went well. I am lucky to have such a talented trim carpenter. The skilled trades subcontractors were well informed about the products they were installing. The work was completed on time and within budget.

We relocated the existing heating/cooling system and installed new ductwork. We installed a heat pump with electric baseboard backup at the 2nd floor. We installed radiant floor heating in the master bathroom. We installed a basement egress window. We upgraded the electric service to 200 amps. We provided white oak selects hardwood floors at the 2nd floor and we replaced both the main and basement stairs with red oak treads and risers. We provided a tempered glass railing at the top of the main stairs. The 2nd floor interior partitions were held to 7'-6" to allow for an open floor plan. We relocated the basement laundry to the 2nd floor. We added a basement half bathroom. We provided a stall shower, whirlpool tub, and toilet in the master bathroom. We provided stone countertops in the 2nd floor bathroom, basement bathroom and basement kitchenette. We provided a GE 50 gallon high efficiency heat pump hybrid water heater.

Inspectors were on time and very professional. The first thing they wanted to know were my particular areas of concern, then they asked if I had any questions. They gave an overview of what they were going to do and got right to work after I showed them how to access all the areas of inspection. They were excellent listeners and looked into all the items mentioned that were areas of concern and provided immediate feedback on those items even though the follow up meeting to review the results of the audit will not happen for another week or two. The inspectors answered all questions, even those from the children and were very respectful of our home. At the end of their inspection they gave me clear instructions on what to expect as they put together my results, review my energy bills and schedule a meeting to review the final results. Overall I am 100% satisfied with the methods of the inspection, the way it was performed and the value of this service. I am eager to get the full analysis in the final report.
Description of Work: Meadowlark performed an energy audit on my home that included all of the following and more: Blower door test, attic insulation inspection, inspection of home infrastructure and all electric/gas using equipment including furnace/AC, water heater, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc, IR testing of walls to inspect insulation. This is a certified audit and Meadowlark is one of the few in the area that are certified to perform this sort of audit. I also mentioned that I was considering some other work on my home including backup sump pump and they looked at my sump system.
