Precision Built Construction

Don was punctual, professional, and performed all services with in the time line that he quoted me. His craftsmanship is top notch Don went above and beyond. It was a pleasure watching him work because he was clean, organized and efficient. I will absolutely recommend him to anyone without hesitation!

At the onset of the project, I sat down with Don and went over the plans and my expectations. I am an automotive engineer with 30 years of experience and I was really impressed with Don and his amount of experience, building skills, and extensive knowledge of construction techniques. What really sold me was when Don offered to text me photos of the project along the way on my cell phone. We collaborated on issues when there were questions. It was almost like I was right there, even though I was 400 miles away. Don really built us a quality home, strong enough to handle the heaviest snow loads in the snow belt of the lower peninsula. He has a great business sense and the people skills to keep his crews in line. Most of all, Don seems to really care about the projects that he works on. He once went the extra mile to plow our heavily snowed driveway just so I could get into our new house to review some of his work. He finished our shell with many extra personal touches that we added along the way. He made the changes we wanted and didn't try to talk us out of them just because it would be easier. All this was done in a very timely manner. We would highly recommend Don for his innovation, quality, cost, character, and timeliness. This guy is a real winner! We plan to use him for more upcoming projects.

They had to do a complete tear off of the old roof. They also tore off damaged wood & replaced. The owner Don is very talented & kept us informed when there was a problem with damaged material from the supplier, which caused a delay. His crew was also great & did a great job on install & clean up. A couple of the guys also installed a wood ceiling inside the cabin & we are very happy with the results.

Moved on....

The job went very well and Don kept us informed if something came up. The day he started we ended up having a wedding that evening on our back deck and they were all cleaned up and out of the way. I also had surgery the second day he was there and the noise lever was very tolerable. They worked maybe 3 1/2 days on my 39 square roof. It was in some pretty bad shape. We had about 6 leaks in various spots the year before. we also had him put ridge vent on the garage. Don told us there was no underlay, under the old shingles. He did replace quite a few sheets of board. We have had some rain since, and have absolutely no leaks. I will call Don again when I need anything done! Again, what an amazing job! If I could post a photo, I would, but I don't see that option.

The weather was not cooperative so the job took longer than anticipated. He also ended up starting a week later due to rain that had put him behind on other jobs. Don has great customer service skills, polite and kind. He returned calls or texts quickly. When he left each day he tried to inform me about when he would be back and what the plan was. He even came out on Father's Day to finish shingling the garage. He made sure he cleaned up each day and tried to have things neat and tidy. One day I was not there and my son said there was some debris that needed to be picked up in the backyard before my dogs could be allowed to run. He had a long way to drive and stayed late several days to get work completed. Overall I was pleased with the work and would recommend him to friends.

We LOVE this guy! He is absolutely awesome. We live several hours away and he kept us up to date on progress with pictures and phone calls. We just went up to see the cabin and couldn't be happier! He does very thorough, quality work. In areas where his judgement was needed to correct an unforeseen problem, he was able to come up with creative solutions that turned out wonderful! We have been dreaming of this for years and it turned out better than we ever expected! I would absolutely recommend Precision Built and I'd wait as long as it takes to get on his calendar. As long as Don is around, we won't be going anywhere else.

The entire process was very present and enjoyable. I would recommend this contractor to anyone. Great quality of construction, he did exactly what he said he was going to do. He stayed in contact with me almost every day during the construction process. Completed the entire project from site preparation to cement work to building permits and inspections, all on time. Anytime I need something done on my house from a roofing to a drywall I know who to call because Don does it all.

.Don was prompt on time and very knowable. He was personable and took time to explain in detail what needed to be done. He was so good we called for another estimate as we are prepared to go forward with the work. For Angies list to give him a C rating because of 2 non applicable responses is ridiculous.

The price was reasonable. They were very professional and did a good quality work.

Don Managed to fit us in during a very busy time for him. We needed a new roof before the snow fell. Precision Built professionally completed the job during some of the nastiest weather you could ask for and cleaned up so that when the snow was gone this spring, you never knew it happened, other than we had a great looking roof! Precision Built listened to our needs, did not oversell us overpriced shingles, completed on time and cleaned up as promised. I would recommend them to anyone looking for roofing needs or any construction job.

Don is fantastic! He and his crew are prompt, friendly and professional. They have finished every project on time or early! Don goes out of his way to make everything perfect and always with a smile on his face!

The first experience we had with Don was amazing. He came in and converted out garage in to a step down living room. His attention to detail was incredible. The following year Don came in and remodeled our partially finished basement and put in a full bathroom, drop ceiling, and finished off an office. My family then purchased a couple of cabins on Otsego Lake and we hired Don to gut them and remodel them completely. From start to finish, you will not find another contractor that is as thorough as he is. His ability to do just about anything has made him my "go to man" when it comes to remodel projects. We will be contacting him again in the next couple of months to have him do another addition on our home as this man is an absolute magician when it comes to carpentry! Nobody else will ever do work for us again and he comes highly recommended to anyone who has ever seen what he has done to our home already.

I explained this situation to Don who got out his ladder went up on the roof and repaired it using the shingles I bought previously, just as I asked him to do. This was in the middle of a snow storm w. wet, sloppy snow. He was cheerful, pleasant, and quick. It took about half an hour and it was done the way I asked him to do it. We live thirty miles from town. We have a very steep roof. He said that if he could not make it work with the ladder he had, he would go back to town and get the right ladder and come back to fix the roof. Fortunately, his ladder was sufficient. Now the amazing part, he asked for $100 to do the job. This is in comparison to the next lowest bid which was more than $5,000 to replace the roof. I was elated and gave him a big tip. I have also asked him to bid on the additions. He was done in less than an hour and cleaned up after himself too. It did take him a while to get to me, but that was because he was busy on other projects, as he explained to me when I first called. This was not an urgent problem.

The crew was very professional and friendly. Came when they said they would- showed up on time ready to work. Finished the project on time and under budget! Any minor mistakes that were made were fixed quickly. They made sure the work space was kept as clean as possible and even vacuumed and mopped the floors! Don- the owner was amazing to work with- he pays attention to detail and makes sure everything was done exceptionally well and to our liking!! Best experience we have ever had with a contractor! We are going to hire them back in the spring to redo some other fixes that need done around our home. His number has been added to our speed dial (no joke). Thank you Don for everything!

After interviewing several contractors, we chose Precision Built Construction for our garage project. Don, the owner, worked with us on final design, multiple iterations and cost estimates. Being comfortable with our builder was important to us since this is a vacation home and we weren't going to be on site all the time. Precision Built came through at every aspect of the project. Don was always responsive with us, even on weekends and after normal business hours. We are very happy with the final product; our garage is beautiful, and we get complements from our neighbors. The neighbors that drove by during the construction commented on how hard and efficiently the crew worked. They kept the job site free of trash and debris on a daily basis. We would recommend Precision Built to everyone, and we plan to use them again for future projects.

The job went very well. Don (the owner of Precision Built) is very professional and knowledgeable, and communicates well. He provided quotes promptly, and he returns phonecalls and emails when there are questions, which is a big plus when you are trying to coordinate a job from 200 miles away(we live downstate). The job started on time, and despite some surprises(rotten roof boards) Don took care of the repair details and got everything done in a timely manner. The roof and chimney look great, and the price was fair. I will definitely call Don for our next cottage construction project.

The guy did what he said he was going to do. He took a little longer than I thought, but he did a good job.

The job went well. Don was very professional and they did a great job. They addressed all of my concerns and the roof looks fantastic.

I contacted Don at Precision Built Construction on a recommendation and it was the best call I have ever made. Don came to my house the next day to look at my roof. He introduced himself, gave me his business card, and we spoke about the issues I was having with the roof and what my expectations were for the completed project. Then he did the first thing that impressed me. He actually climbed up on the roof to look at it. I had already had 3 other contractors come and give estimates and not one of them had gotten up on the roof to look at it. After a thorough inspection he informed me that there were 2 layers of shingles on the house, not just one like the other contractors had stated. I would have had a huge increase in the price of labor if I would have chosen one of the other contractors when they found the second layer of shingles. That was the first savings he gave me. The second savings I received from him actually may have cost a couple hundred dollars up front, but will be a huge savings in the long run. Don built the house next door to mine and was very familiar with the high wind conditions on top of the hill that my house sits on. I had chosen 3 tab shingles because that was what was already there. He asked if I had considered Dimensional shingles due to the high winds then he not only told me, but showed me using samples why Dimesnional shingles would be better on my house. This led me to change my mind and pay a bit more up front and not have to replace shingles torn off by the wind. Two days later, Don hand delivered the quote for the roof and explained exactly how the work would be done. He used laborers to tear off the old roof, but he alone would put the new shingles on because he wanted to make sure that they were all nailed on correctly. He told me that he would begin the work on Friday morning if I accepted his offer, which I did. His price was very competative and I liked his attitude. I didn't feel that because he was doing buisness with a woman that he ever tried to take advantage of me of over charge for anything. True to his word he showed up on Friday morning with his crew ready to work. The roof was removed in sections exactly how Don said it would be and he alone put on the new shingles. One day it was very cold and rainy and I expected Don to call and tell me he would not be there that day, or just not show up, but to my surprise he worked on the roof all day to get it completed on schedule. There were a few added obsticles to the roofing job. First it is an old farm house that has lightning rods on the roof. One contractor absolutely refused to replace them if they got the job. Don put all of the rods back exactly where they were originally placed and there have not been any leaking issues. He also moved a bathroom vent pipe over for me which was not part of the roof job, but I asked if he would fix while he was up there. The overall look of the roof is stunning and my yard was spotless when the job was complete. I only found 1 old roofing nail in the yard after he left. I paid 50% of the cost the day before the job began and the remainder when it was complete. There were no surprises or added costs except for about $45 in board replacement that was not visible until the old roof was stripped and then I was only charged for the amount of the board that he used, not the entire board. I was so impressed that I recommended him to my boss who needed his roof replaced. He came into work after his roof was finished and could not say enough good things about his new roof and experience with Don. I called Don back in late October to see if he would be available to roof another house I own in Bay City, a two hour commute each way from Gaylord, that required 28 square of shingles on a 10/12 pitch. I purchased all of the materials and had them roof top delivered. Don unloaded all of the shingles and finished that Job by himself in just 4 days. There were 4 square of shingles left over from the job. A shady contractor could have returned those shingles and pocketed the $451. Don called me and asked if I wanted him to return the shingles since they were already in the back of his truck. I told him that would be great and the sales person called me as soon as Don dropped off the shingles and credited the amount back to my card. I now have him working on a roof, bathroom floor and wall repair, door replacement, and porch replacement on another rental I own. He is the only contractor I will ever use from now on and I highly recommend him to anyone needing work completed. Don is honest, very professional and takes extreme pride in his work. He has somewhere close to 30 years of building experience and is not a builder who just studied and took a test to get his license. He is the real deal from begining to end. Don't let the fact that this is a small business scare you away. Don will complete your project quicker and more professionally than most big companies with a very competative bid. He will be there everyday until the job is finished. He will not start the job then disapprar for 2 weeks before he gets back to your job.
