Mainstone Construction

After our first visit with Lyle Mainstone, he gave us good advice on how to deal with a slight sag in the floor, so we decided to have him come by again for an estimate on some repairs around the house caused by ice dams. He seemed very knowledgeable and professional. He listened to what needed to be done, took measurements and said we would receive the estimate within 3-5 days. It took 2 weeks to get our estimate which ended up needing to be revised. After sending the edited version back (this knocked about $2000 off the original total), I called several times and left several messages, getting no response. Our first inital interaction for this job was on 3/25/14, it's been a little over 2 months and still no word.

I was very pleased with the work, they are hard workers and very good at their job. He had a few things that he had to come back and redo. He had to make a few corrections that was done on the job. But we were happy with the overall service. We would use them again in the future if we needed to.

I called for an estimate. Never heard back from this company. Made several phone calls and left many messages and never heard back.

I was unhappy with one area of the work, but I was happy with the rest of it.

We had a tree fall on our hot tub. Our insurance company recommended them and they did a really good job. The repairs were covered by the insurance. They built an out building for us. They were really great. They were friendly people. They went the extra mile and did things that were not required. They made sure that we were happy. They treated you like a person, not just another number. They were here on time. They got it done. They were even here on their day off to finish the work. They asked if it was okay to finish on their day off. We said it was fine, and they were here the next day, finishing the job. I would use them again.

He works very well with everyone. I have found that with him, like all contractors, you have to be very specific. He knows that I always want the bargain and he has no problem with doing what I ask as long as I am specific with him. He is always able to work me in, but I know he is a very busy man. His people do great work, they clean up after themselves and are wonderful at following directions and communicating.

He has built additions. He has worked on my basement. He has put in plumbing. He is a licensed contractor. I've got a 100 year old house with a beautiful back patio, but I needed into my home and he suggested a wall or gas wire put in. We work very well together. He is right now working on my bathroom laminates. The last time he worked was on my kitchen and bathroom and it was about $2500 each. He built my back porch on my duplex and I choose to enjoy that and the inspector kept coming out saying what a nice job it was. He took a while out for me in the kitchen and had an old bar that he used for supporting and narrow opened my kitchen into my living room which was about 150 sq ft. He is a very fine contractor. His responsiveness is fine because we have worked together for 10 years and I am trying to become word headed step cousins. If he has big jobs sometimes my job would wait a little bit because it's smaller, but he does a fine job of cleaning.
