The work went very well, Allan did much better than we expected could be done on an older cottage. He is an excellent carpender and is extremely careful and conscientious in his work. He gave a very detailed proposal for his work listing prices for material and labor and details of the work needed. Prices were very fair. We have no negative comments as everything in our dealings with Allan was very positive. We could not have found a better person to do the job.
Description of Work: Allan did the following work: 1) replaced a rotted ledger board on North side of the cottage, 2) replaced old upinning on East of cottage, 3) replaced crawl space access door, 4) installed 4 new vinyl casement windows on cottage.

It is obvious that when you deal with Allan, you're dealing with a man that really knows construction! He is thoughtful and pays attention to every detail. His work is solid and beautifully done. He does not and quot;make-doand quot; just to get the job done quickly, he makes sure that everything is right (not makeshift). He gave a quote on labor and a list of all the supplies we needed to purchase (we went to Menard's in Escanaba and purchased all of our fixtures, supplies, etc and used the list he provided to make sure he had all the pieces to get the work done (the correct grout, right kind of paint, etc). Much of the cost of materials was controlled by us, depending on whether we wanted ceramic tile that was $4/sf or $1/sf, etc. Our bathroom looks fantastic. Allan's work is solid and beautifully done. He gave us a quote on labor - his agreement is that if a job takes him less time than his quote, he charges the homeowner less, but if it takes him longer, he does not charge the homeowner more - hard to find that kind of customer service these days! We used him again on a small job, replacing a ceiling fan and all ceiling light fixtures throughout our house. We purchased the fixtures and he installed them beautifully and correctly. Besides the quality of his work, we like that Allan is a licensed Michigan builder with many years experience - he really knows what he is doing! Allan is from South Carolina and has lived in the UP for a few years - so in addition to great skill, you also get a true southern gentleman doing the work. I would recommend Allan Ott of Eager Beaver Builders without hesitation.
Description of Work: We bought a house with a very dated bathroom (1970s - golds and flowery vinyl covered masonite; dark brown vinyl flooring; fixtures that were dated and not functioning well, including the toilet; vanity top had dark swirls and shadows in the design that made it look like it needed to be cleaned). We hired Allan Ott of Eager Beaver Builders to do the following: replace the toilet and vanity top remove vinyl flooring and install ceramic tile strip and re-paint inside of cabinets (shelves, drawers, etc) resurface cabinet doors and replace hardware remove and replace fixtures in tub/shower and sink (including drains) with oil-rubbed bronze fixtures we selected remove dated chain swag lights and replace with new ceiling light install light in shower remove the masonite from the walls and install (and paint) bead board and selected molding.
