Description of Work: I am remodeling my bathroom. Jim came out and gave me an estimate. He was very professional and personable. I am sure they would have done a wonderful job. It came down to dollars and cents. If I had a bigger budget I would definitely hire them for remodeling. It was hard saying no to them because they seemed great. Maybe some day in a future project.

Response from Plekkenpol Builders, Inc.
OUR REPRESENTATIVE HAD MADE A MISTAKE WHEN MAPPING THE LOCATION OF THE HOME. HE CALLED THIS MEMBER IMMEDIATELY UPON DISCOVERING THE ERROR, PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT TIME, TO TELL HER HE WOULD BE THERE IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. SHE SEEMED UNDERSTANDING AT THE TIME AND SAID THE TIMING WOULD NOT WORK FOR HER. WHEN OUR REPRESENTATIVE CALLED TO RESCHEDULE, SHE DECLINED.

THEY WERE VERY RESPONSIVE IN GETTING BACK TO US WITH THEIR BID. THEY FOLLOWED UP WITH US WHEN WE DID NOT CALL THEM BACK TO SEE IF WE WANTED TO DO WORK WITH THEM. THEIR PRICE WAS ON THE HIGH-END WHICH IS WHY WE DID NOT HIRE THEM.

ERIC CAME TO MY HOME TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE. HE WAS ON TIME, POLITE AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. WE SPOKE AT LENGTH ABOUT MY WANTS AND NEEDS. HE TOOK NOTES AND PHOTO'S. ERIC HAD THE BID READY AT THE SPECIFIED TIME AND I MET WITH HIM AT HIS OFFICE. HE SPENT TIME EXPLAINING HOW AND WHAT WAS TO BE DONE AND HAD AN ENTIRE BOOKLET DETAILING THE SPECIFICATIONS, ETC... I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM, AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WAS SPENT WITH ME. I FEEL THAT HIS COMPANY WOULD HAVE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS ON THE WORK THAT WAS TO BE PERFORMED AND THAT THE QUALITY WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONAL. I FELT THAT THE COST WAS NOT IN MY BUDGET FOR THE UPSTAIRS BATH, BUT WILL ABSOLUTELY CONSIDER THIS COMPANY WHEN I AM READY TO HAVE THE WORK DONE ON THE BASEMENT BATH.

PLEKKENPOL WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. OUR PROJECT MANAGER AND JOB SUPERVISOR WERE GREAT AND SO WERE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WE DEALT WITH. THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL, COURTEOUS AND CONSIDERATE OF OUR FAMILY. THE WORKERS WERE VERY NEAT AND POLITE. IT WAS A BIG JOB AND THEY REALLY MADE THINGS MUCH EASIER ON US. THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. THEY ARE WILLING TO WORK WITHIN YOUR BUDGET. THEY ALWAYS RESPONDED TO ANY QUESTIONS OR ISSUES IMMEDIATELY. THEY GAVE US GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THINGS THAT THEY DIDN'T DO. WE WERE ABLE TO STICK TO OUR ORIGINAL CONTRACT PRICE AND FINISH THE WORK ON TIME. I WOULD VERY STRONGLY RECOMMEND PLEKKENPOL! I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ASSIGN PEOPLE TO JOBS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN REQUEST PEOPLE...ERIK MAHIN WAS OUR PROJECT MANAGER AND RON KJELDAL WAS OUR JOB SUPERVISOR AND THEY ARE BOTH WONDERFUL. THEY WERE SO NICE AND HELPFUL. THEY REALLY MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE. THEY'RE VERY RELIABLE AND HONEST.

WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH PLEKKENPOL AND THE WORK THEY DID. DAN HAYES WAS A GREAT SALESPERSON TO WORK WITH. HE WAS HONEST, NOT PUSHY, CALLED US BACK QUICKER THAN ANY OTHER CONTRACTOR WE CONTACTED, AND MADE SOME EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DESIGN OF OUR REMODEL. ALL OF THE STAFF WERE PROFESSIONAL AND DID HIGH QUALITY WORK. PLUS, THE JOB SITE WAS AMAZINGLY CLEAN THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS! WE'D HIRE THEM AGAIN IN A MINUTE!

OVERALL PLEASED WITH ENTIRE PROCESS. VERY PRICEY, BUT THEY DID EVERYTHING, I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY OF IT. WORKERS WERE MOSTLY EXCELLENT. DID NOT REALLY CARE FOR PLUMBER, BUT WORK WAS OK. CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE. WOULD HAVE LIKED BETTER SCHEDULING COMMITMENTS, BUT MINE WAS A SMALL JOB AND I THINK HARDER FOR THEM TO COMMIT IN ADVANCE. TOOK MUCH LONGER THAN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT BUT WAS THAT NOT OVERLY INCONVENIENT FOR ME. THEY DO HAVE A WARRANTY ON WORK, CAME RIGHT OUT WHEN I CALLED WITH A SMALL ISSUE.

PLEKKENPOL DID A QUALITY AND TIMELY JOB REMOVING AND REPLACING THE COLUMNS AND TRIM. HOWEVER, WHILE DOING THE WORK, A STORM WINDOW UNIT FELL OFF ONE OF THE WINDOWS. THE GLASS BROKE AND THE ALUMINUM FRAME BENT. THE COMPANY DID NOT LEAVE ME A MESSAGE ABOUT THIS. I HAD TO CALL THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I SAW THE FRAME IN MY GARAGE. THE STORM WINDOWS WERE REPLACED QUICKLY BUT IT TOOK WEEKS FOR THEM TO FIX THE BENT FRAME. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS A RELATIVELY MINOR PROBLEM, THE COMPANY''S COMMUNICATION DID NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS. THE PROJECT MANAGER DID APOLOGIZE TO ME BOTH ON THE PHONE AND IN A THANK YOU NOTE. I WOULD USE PLEKKENPOL AGAIN SINCE THEY DID QUALITY WORK.

THERE WERE JUST TOO MANY HOLES WITH THE PLEKKENPOL PROPOSAL. WHILE NEITHER OF US IS AN EXPERT, WE NOTICED THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF DETAILS PRESENT ON OUR ARCHITECTURAL PLANS THAT WERE EITHER VAGUE OR MISSING IN THE THE PLEKKENPOL PROPOSAL. WE RECEIVED A BID THAT HAD A LUMP SUM AS A COST, BUT NO BREAK-DOWN OF THE CHARGES. WE SAW THE SAME THING WHEN WE REQUESTED A REVISED BID. WE ALSO FELT THAT THERE WAS TOO MUCH OF A DELAY IN RESPONSES TO OUR LIST OF CONCERNS. WE WENT ELSEWHERE.
Description of Work: WE TRIED TO GET AN ITEMIZED BID FOR GENERAL REMODELING OF THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. AFTER SIX MONTHS, TWO REVISED QUOTES, AND A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH WITH PLEKKENPOL, WE CHOSE TO USE A DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR.

VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE; ONLY A FEW GLITCHES, BUT ALL WERE TAKEN CARE OF TO OUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION; NOT THE BEST AT COMMITTING TO AN ACTUAL BAR-CHART TYPE OF SCHEDULE, BUT ONCE THE JOB COMMENCED (WHICH WAS WITHIN THE TIME FRAME PLEKKENPOL HAD INDICATED THEY HOPED TO START), THE JOB WAS PERFORMED IN A TIMELY, WORKMANLIKE MANNER. WORKERS ARE VERY COURTEOUS. PLEKKENPOL INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT USE A DUMPSTER WHICH CONCERNED US, BUT DEBRIS WAS REMOVED VIRTUALLY EVERY DAY. I WOULD USE PLEKKENPOL AGAIN.
