Blue Line Remodeling & Construction, LLC

Excellent! Prompt service on all jobs. Considerate to family and pets. Beautiful work!

The good news: the price was right and the job was well done. They cleaned up everyday before they left and once they started, the work they did was done quickly. The bad news: we were promised that the job would be done in Fall 2015 and we had to push hard, REALLY HARD to get it done in April 2016. If they had been honest with us and told us they were overbooked, I would have felt better about the tardiness in getting the job done but they kept stringing us along, "we don't have the shingles" type messages.

It didn't go as I never received a quote.

Blue Line is professional, with good service. Their prices are fair and the quality was very good. We are very happy with the work they did and hope to use them again when it is time to install new windows.

Emil came out to evaluate what needed to be done. He was timely ( actually early) for the appt. which was refreshing. He worked up and estimate and notified us of the estimate. The work was completed as quoted. We were out of town at the time. There was some trash left in yard and some dirt was moved away from the wall area and not replaced, leaving catch basin for rain to reach the interior wall of garage. But I took care of that myself. To be fair to the workers - it was the hottest two days of July.

The provider worked closely with me and even created a couple different quotes per my request. The seem to be a very friendly outfit and I hope to work with them in the very near future.

They were reasonable compared to the other folks in the area. They were responsible and responsive.

Blue Line started replacing windows and installing vinyl siding August 23 of 2011 and didn?t finish until June 4th of 2012. I'm writing this now because this is the first winter I've stayed in my house since the new windows and siding were installed. Amil guaranteed me that I would never have to put plastic on my windows again. You guessed it. After spending all that money, enduring the hassles and poor attitude I still have to put up plastic on the windows and it still doesn?t hold the heat as well as it did before he installed the new windows and siding. I even put another 9 inches of fiberglass insulation in my attic. In Nov. 2011 When it wasn?t even that cold before I left I told Amil It seemed that my house was not holding the heat like it use to but then not all the windows were replaced at that time. I also told him after he finished writing him some theories as to why. This winter after putting up plastic on the windows I found that they billowed out just as much when I only had the single glaze windows with aluminum storm windows. When the wind is blowing I can light a lighter towards the top of my main entry door and it blows the lighter out. First he ordered the windows wrong three times. The last time he tried blaming me saying he thought I wanted to make a wood chute coming in my basement bedroom window instead of a window. I had joked with one of his previous workers, while laughing that maybe I should put a wood chute there because I had broken out that window twice from wood shooting off my wood splitter. I guess when he relayed it to Amil he took it seriously, Really! I don't even split wood there anymore. Besides, that was the second time he ordered that particular window incorrectly. My Dad was diagnosed with ALS in Oct., 2011 so I went to Florida to take care of him on Dec, 15, 2011. They still hadn?t finished the house so I had to leave my keys with Amil. My Dad died in March, 2012 and I returned to Michigan with my Mom in May and also looking after her the following two winters. Amil told me that they were finished and that he and Tim had walked through the house and everything looked great. I didn?t know Tim since he was a new hire. When I met him he told me he was the interior supervisor. I asked if he was a licensed Carpenter, Home builder or what to be a supervisor. He asked what do you mean. I asked if he was licensed which usually involves taking courses and a documented apprenticeship with a licensed Carpenter to qualify for a license. Tim asked, "Do they even do that anymore?" which basically told me that no he wasn?t licensed. He should be if he was supervising unlicensed workers. Amil has a contractors license and his workers all work under that umbrella. So, technically, that?s how they got around it and his workers were considered subcontractors. I never knew who I would get from day to day. Some of his workers were very professional and some weren?t. For example; One day two workers took the runners (tops) off my outdoor steps and forgot to replace them before they left. After dark I went out to my pole barn only to fall in my steps stepping on a rusty nail and skinning my shins in the process. I had to go to the doctor?s office for a Tetanus shot. I asked why the main entrance doors weren?t installed as I specified. Tim told me that the hardware I provided (lever handles) hit each other so they returned the outer glass door and exchanged it for a left handed door opening out. So, now I have the main door handle on left opening inward and outer door handle on the right opening out. It makes it very difficult to use those doors. They had my parents number in Florida. They could have called rather than just installing it the way they wanted to. I would have suggested trying knobs before returning the door but by this time Amil was losing money on the job and was just having workers come over when they could between other jobs to finish my house as fast as they could and get out. It was very apparent that Amil?s sentiment about the job had trickled down to his workers The whole time my supplies were out on the back patio getting wet, frozen, scratched and dented. They installed it anyway. When I pointed it out to Amil he said, We?ll fix that. They never did. When they started the job they removed my new aluminum down spouts and run outs and laid them next to a tree for eleven months. Other workers started a trash pile on top of them. They dented the heck out of them and when it came to putting them back up they had lost all the original screws so they just used what they had which were an inch and a quarter screws. I couldn?t figure out why every time it rained my eaves troughs would overflow. Even after I cleaned everything out with a power washer. Those long screws would catch everything and plug up the down spouts every time. I finally had to take them all down and couldn?t believe what I found. I had to go to the hardware store and paint and replace the screws with quarter inch screws like they were made for. When using a sawsall to cut the holes for the windows they didn?t cover anything. In the living room, my ceiling fan was on and the drywall dust was so thick the fan started making a grinding sound and now will only spin at half the speed. I Informed Amil he said, "we?ll fix that." Never did. When cutting the holes for the windows in my office they didn?t bother covering any of my office equipment including a $2000 computer which basically got covered with splinters, dirt and sawdust. Even though they had a canvas tarp that would have covered my entire office laying against the wall below one window. I pointed out that most of the indoor window heads, jambs and sills weren?t flush with the wall, the corners didn?t match up (some boards were short so they created square holes in the corners) and some weren?t even square. I could go on and on about their unprofessional techniques and manners but needless to say I wouldn?t hire them. In fact at one time Amil called me persnickety. I told him I considered myself meticulous. He just laughed. I figured it was my house and my money I should decide what?s important. One day Tim actually yelled at me, "Are you trying to tell me how to do my job?" while standing in my living room. I almost kicked him out right there. Since, I?m still trying to repair and complete the job, I wish I would have.

I got a few quotes from local contractors but Blue Line's quotes was a higher than the person we selected. We will definitely call Blue Line for anything we do in the future.

Very professional and timely. I would have used them if it was not for the high quote compared to other bidders. They were approximately 40% higher.

It went very well. These people were very friendly, honest and responsive. My only reservation is that I'm trying to get a bid for some other work and they haven't gotten back to me yet. This is a very busy time. I would still give them a very high rating.

He came to give him the estimate fairly soon after I called him. I had hard time finding somebody to do the work. The work was at the top of my chimney, high up. I wanted it done before snow fall. They got me in between jobs. They were nice and flexible. They sent me an email but I do not do well with emails. They were friendly and timely. They got it done before winter. I may use them for an out door shade.

Blue-Line personnel were always professional, responsive, and willing to work with me on the scope of the work to be performed. Water damage resulted from ice-dams in the winter 2013-2014. Blue Line responded promptly and provided a competitive bid for damages to our garage internal wall / ceiling, bedroom closet / carpet, and roof. Flashing was installed on the roof and new shingles where needed, internal wall / ceiling damages were repaired and new carpet was installed in the bedroom. The Living Room was also repainted. In all, the total cost was $4,600. I would not hesitate to use Blue-Line again in the future. Steve

Excellent. Amil, the owner, was informative and plain-spoken in estimating the job. He did not make any promises he couldn't keep. He managed to fit us into his schedule earlier than he expected. He kept us up to date on the job as it progressed, and advised us about work we need. To top it off, he came in under his estimate - a very pleasant surprise.

A appointment was scheduled in a timely manner. Amil was on time, verified what I needed done and performed a completed assessment of the job including taking pictures. He discussed areas of damage and concern, using the pictures so I was able to understand the scope of the job. He provided me with a fair bid for the job after checking materials availability/cost. The job was completed in a timely, professional manner. This company places priority in customer service and treated me as a valued customer. Will work with them again for future projects, without question.

Great, we have used their services before and will use them again to remodel our kitchen and dining room. Amil and Ken are great to work with and the workmen are courteous, efficient and skilled at their jobs.

Entire process smooth from timeliness of estimate to timeliness, quality and professionalism of work completed. We are very happy and will definitely call upon Blue Line for future projects, of which we have many.

Promptly responded to request for estimate. Very professional and personable during inspection and estimate. Soonest date available for repair several weeks out. Workers were on time, personable and quick. Ceiling repair required a second trip to complete. Had billing error, corrected via phone call. Owner did estimate and inspection following completion of work. Good work. I don't remember exactly what the work cost so figure listed is an estimate. Seemed a bit expensive but nothing to compare to. Only issues were time lag from estimate to work scheduled/completed, and billing issue. No issue with quality of work, or people involved.

Arrived on agreed upon time for the project. Things proceeded in an efficient and timely fashion, finishing in about a week. Workmen were polite and cleaned up after themselves every day before leaving, including any metal/nails in the yard. All transaction were handled in a professional and friendly manner. We would use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

This was my first use of a general contractor and will also be my last. The job was to replace one plaster wall that had water damage. I would have done it myself but I didn't want to deal with the plaster mess. Issue #1, It was a struggle through the whole job to get anyone to actually come out and do any work. It took Blue Line 3 months to simply demo a wall and replace the plaster with dry wall. 3 months! And that's with me doing the trim and paint. If you are someone who likes to constantly call someone, then they are for you. I experienced missed appointment after missed appointment! Multiple promises from the receptionist that work was going to be completed. Nothing was done without me forcing it. Issue #2, There were 3 problems found when the wall was taken down. The water had significantly damaged four of the wall studs. Only one was replaced! Old wiring was an issue. This was taken care of, but it took 2-3 weeks. Most likely from the demo, a new water leak appeared around one of the windows and resulted in a large amount of water on the wood floor during a bad rain storm. This problem was brought up with Amil and he said they would take a look at it. That never happened! Instead they just came and put up the drywall with no inspection of the leak. At least that I was made aware of. Definitely nothing was done about it. I fully anticipate having to tear down the drywall around the window due to more water damage in the near future. I had high hopes! Blue line was rated very high, so I felt safe. With a baby on the way, I needed someone to get this simple job done quick and easy. Please take this review as a warning. Just because they have some good reviews on here does not mean they are a good company.

We were thrilled with them and we referred them someone already.

We were very pleased with Blue Lines work. Their quote was much more reasonable than several other companies. They arrived when they said they would and cleaned up after each days work. The work looks much better than I had envisioned. Communication was excellent. We would definitely use them again for home improvements.

We had BlueLine out to repair some siding and soffit that was loose. It was a very small job for them, and I appreciate them taking time to do it. It did take longer than I would have expected to get someone out for an estimate (almost 3 weeks after we called to request one), especially for such a small job, then took close to a week after that to actually get the estimate. Apparently, they prepare and send estimates out in the office on Mondays. I wish they had told us that when they were out, though, because we were on a short timeline to get some work done prior to closing. Once we did get an estimate, it was less than a week to get them out here. They showed up promptly as scheduled. He realized he didn't have a piece he needed and had to go get it. Unfortunately, his truck broke down. They promptly called us (both the worker who came out to the house and the office) to let us know and they came out to finish the job the next business day. No problems with the quality of the work itself.

The projected was delayed a little due to the icy weather, but once they started it took them a day to finish and it looks better than ever. We had another company come out years before and they only did a patch job that did not hold up for about the same cost. In the future, we will be using Blue Line for all our projects.

I have spoken with Blue Line Remodeling and got a quote from them but we have not used them. The approximate time they came out for a quote was around February 2013 and the service was for free. They quoted me about $28,000.00 for basement remodelling. What I liked about them was that, it was the owner came out to do the quote and he was very helpful and friendly. I would use them in the future should I require their services.
