D S Bahr Construction Inc

DAVE BAHR, OWNER, WAS VERY PLEASANT AND MATTER OF FACT WHEN HE CAME TO BID THE JOB. HE LOOKED IN OUR ATTIC TO ESTIMATE THE WORK NEEDED ON OUR ROOF - WHETHER THE DECKING WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, ETC. - AND GAVE US A COMPARABLE BID. HE DID NOT THINK THE DECKING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - OR AT LEAST NOT ALL OF IT. HOWEVER, AFTER THE CREW STARTED THEY DECIDED THE ENTIRE ROOF NEEDED NEW DECKING AND AN ADDITIONAL $2,500 LATER THE ROOF WAS DONE. IT WAS DISAPPOINTING TO HAVE SUCH A RADICAL CHANGE IN OPINION BUT WE COULDN'T NOT COMPLETE THE JOB. THE CREW DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB OF CLEANING UP THE YARD EACH NIGHT AND IN FACT LEFT TOOLS PLUGGED IN AND SITTING ON OUR ROOF WHEN RAIN WAS EXPECTED. WE CALLED DAVE AND HE SENT SOMEONE OVER TO TAKE IT DOWN PROMPTLY. WE'D LIKE TO SEE BETTER TRAINING OF THE CREW IN COMPLETING THEIR JOBS AND TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. THE FINISHED ROOF LOOKS NICE.

ALTHOUGH DAVID PROVIDED ME WITH A DETAILED BID AND HE SEEMED TO KNOW HIS JOB WELL, I THINK HE TRIED TO OVERCHARGE ME! I HAVE DONE A LOT OF HOME IMPROVEMENT WORK MYSELF SO I KNOW WHAT A FAIR PRICE IS. I DID NOT USE DS BAHR BECAUSE OF THIS.

D S BAHR HAD THE LOWEST ESTIMATE AND BEST ANGIE'S DISCOUNT. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED PROMPTLY. NO DAMAGE TO YARD, FLOWER BEDS.

DAVID KNOWS HIS STUFF. I'D HAD OTHER PEOPLE LOOK AT MY ROOF AND GIVE ME WISHY-WASHY ANSWERS AND HE LOOKED AT IT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN GAVE ME A LONG, DETAILED EXPLANATION OF WHAT HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS. I'M NOT IN THE INDUSTRY, BUT HIS EXPLANATION WAS CLEAR AND MADE A LOT OF SENSE TO ME, SO I ASKED HIM FOR AN ESTIMATE. THE WORK HAPPENED THE DAY HE SAID IT WOULD. WE'LL SEE HOW THINGS GO THIS WINTER. I FEEL VERY OPTIMISTIC THAT THE PROBLEM WON'T REOCCUR.

DAVE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EASY TO TALK WITH. MANY POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS COMPANY. SUBS WORKED HARD AND CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES. JOB STARTED PROMPTLY AND FINISHED WITHIN DAYS (HAMPERED BY RAIN). DAVE BAHR CAME OUT A WEEK BEFORE JOB START, TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY PATCH THE OLD ROOF TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE (AT NO CHARGE TO US). DURING JOB, WHEN THERE WAS A MINOR LEAK IN THE SKYLIGHT, ROOFERS CAME PROMPTLY TO REPAIR IT. FRUSTRATIONS: SHINGLES UNEVENLY SPACED IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS, BUT OTHERWISE APPEARS SOLID. TWO IDENTICAL SKYLIGHTS WERE REQUESTED, SUPPLIER DELIVERED SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT LOOKING MODELS. DAVE DIDN'T NOTICE DIFFERENCE BUT REPLACED ODD ONE WITH MATCHING UNIT AS SOON AS IT WAS REPORTED BY US. DAVE DID NOT CHECK IN WITH US DAILY. I WOULD PREFER THAT HE CALLED DAILY DURING JOB. DAVE RESPONDED QUICKLY AND POLITELY WHEN NOTIFIED OF ISSUES. OVERALL, PRETTY GOOD. BUT WOULD BE MORE SATISFYING IF HE COMMUNICATED REGULARLY.

DAVE THE OWNER WAS ON TIME. VERY FRIENDLY AND LIKEABLE. HE WAS THE ONLY COMPANY OUT OF 4 THAT WENT UP INTO THE ATTIC TO REALLY FIND THE SOURCE OF A WATER LEAK INSTEAD OF JUST GUESSING. I WILL HAVE DAVE DO THE WORK.

DAVE WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND ON-TIME FOR HIS QUOTING APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER, HIS BID IS THE HIGHEST.

THEIR PRICING WAS LOWER THAN EXPECTED. THE WORK WAS FINE.

THEY WERE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE UPPER COURSE OF SIDING WHILE REMOVING AND REPLACING THE LOWER COURSE. WORKED QUICKLY AND CLEANED UP WORK SITE WHEN COMPLETED. QUALITY WORK. WOULD USE AGAIN.

DAVID AND HIS CREW WERE EXACTLY WHAT I HOPED TO FIND THRU ANGIE'S LIST. DAVID WAS PROMPT IN RETURNING MY INITIAL CONTACT, HE HAD A FAIR ESTIMATE ON THE JOB AND HE KEPT HIS WORD ON A TIME TO DO THE JOB. WE HAVE AN OLDER HOME THAT WE HAVE BEEN REMODELING SO THERE ARE SOMETIMES ''SURPRISES'' AS THE OLD IS TAKEN AWAY. DAVID AND HIS CREW RESPONDED WELL TO A FEW OF THESE UNANTICIPATED SURPRISES AND CAME UP WITH GOOD SOLUTIONS - WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL COST. DAVID WAS EVEN ACCOMMODATING AND ALLOWED ME TO PAY HIM TO USE PART OF THE HUGE ROLL-OFF THEY BROUGHT TO DUMP A TON OF OLD FENCE SECTIONS I HAD WHEN I TORE DOWN AND REPLACED MY OLD PRIVACY FENCE. THAT WAS A HUGE BENEFIT TO ME AND GREATLY APPRECIATED. GOOD WORK AT A FAIR PRICE. WILL DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN IF THE NEED ARISES.

DAVE, THE OWNER, WAS QUICK TO RESPOND TO MY REQUEST FOR A QUOTE. HE CAME OUT, REVIEWED THE ROOF CONDITIONS, AND GAVE ME A QUOTE ON THE SPOT WITH CERTAINTEED LANDMARK 30 SHINGLE. WE GOT INTO A DISCUSSION OVER THE COLOR WE WERE LOOKING FOR, AND HE ACTUALLY DROVE WITH ME TO VISIT A HOUSE SEVERAL MILES AWAY THAT HAD A ROOF WE LIKED. NEXT DAY HE HAD IDENTIFIED THE SHINGLE, WHICH WAS MORE EXPENSIVE AND SAID HE WOULD CHARGE ME HIS COST FOR THE UPGRADE. I CONFIRMED THE ACTUAL COST OF THE SHINGLE WITH THE ROOFING DEPOT, AND HIS UPGRADE CHARGE WAS EXACTLY WHAT ROOFING DEPOT QUOTED. I ASK HIM FOR REFERENCES, AND HE DIRECTED ME TO ANGIE'S LIST WHERE HE SAID I COULD FIND HONEST COMMENTS AND A $500 COUPON. UNBELIEVABLE!! WORK TOOK PLACE 2 DAYS AFTER I SIGNED THE AGREEMENT AND GAVE A DEPOSIT, AND FINISHED IN 4 DAYS INCLUDING WORKING ON A SUNDAY AS RAIN WAS EXPECTED ON MONDAY. THE ROOFING CREW WORKMANSHIP WAS EXCELLENT, AND CLEAN UP WAS THOROUGH. DAVE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL AND HONEST.

DAVE WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND ON-TIME FOR HIS QUOTING APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER, I WAS ON A LIMITED BUDGET, AND ENDED UP DOING THE WORK MYSELF.

DAVE SPENT CONSIDERABLE TIME INSPECTING OUR TOWNHOUSE COMPLEX'S ROOFS AND OFFERING POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO OUR ICE DAM ISSUES. HE DID NOT PRESSURE US INTO DOING ANY WORK, JUST OFFERED HIS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE. IF AND WHEN WE DECIDE TO HAVE WORK DONE ON OUR ROOFS, I WILL RECOMMEND HIM TO PERFORM THE WORK.

JOE CAME OVER, ON TIME, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND I AM SURE THIS COMPANY WOULD HAVE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB. THE ESTIMATE WAS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN EXPECTED, BUT I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT IF I HAD THE EXTRA CASH TO PUT TOWARD THE DECK. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE TO TRY THIS COMPANY.

DAVE BAHR RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY TO MY REQUEST FOR A BID AND WAS PROMPT & FRIENDLY. THE WORK WAS DONE WHEN PROMISED AND DONE WELL VERY QUICKLY. THE CREW WAS FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. THE RESULTS LOOK FABULOUS. MY ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE THE CLEAN UP. AFTER INQUIRING ABOUT THIS, THOUGH, DAVE CAME AND DID SOME CLEAN UP. HOWEVER, WE LATER FOUND A NUMBER OF NAILS & OTHER RELATED MATERIALS IN THE YARD (THAT WE HADN'T SEEN BEFORE) WHERE THE CREW HAD MEASURED & CUT THE SUPPLIES. BUT, I'D STILL DEFINITELY HIRE DS BAHR TO DO ANOTHER PROJECT.

VERY FRIENDLY. DID NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH E-MAILS VERY WELL. ASKED FOR THE SAME INFORMATION VERBALLY AS WAS IN THE E-MAILS TWICE. HAD WORK DONE BY SOMEONE ELSE.

CALL BACK WAS VERY PROMPT. APPOINTMENT WAS PUNCTUAL. SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. ON GOING PROJECT, BUT WAS SATISFIED WITH THIS STAGE.

INITIAL RESPONSE WAS NICE, BUT THOUGHT IT INCONSIDERATE TO CHANGE APPOINTMENT TIME WITHOUT SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO US.

ANOTHER COMPANY BEAT THEIR QUOTE BY A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS, BUT MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH THEM WAS GOOD.

DAVE BAHR RETURNED MY CALL PROMPTLY. HE MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN ESTIMATE, SHOWED UP ON TIME, AND DID THE ESTIMATE ON THE SPOT IN WRITING. HE EXPLAINED EVERY ASPECT OF THE DETAILED ESTIMATE. THE WORKERS DID THE JOB ON TIME, AMAZINGLY QUICKLY, AND WERE POLITE AND FRIENDLY. THE CLEANUP WAS EXCELLENT. THIS COMPANY DID NOT MAKE THE LOWEST BID, BUT DAVE'S PROMPTNESS AND THOROUGHNESS IN BIDDING WERE THE DECIDING FACTORS.

THE COMPANY DID A GREAT JOB. THEY DID AWONDERFUL CLEAN UP. I WOULD ALWAYS USE THEM AGAIN AND RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE

VERY PROMPT RESPONSE TO MY INQUIRY, SHOWED UP AT THE SCHEDULED TIME, GAVE ON THE SPOT WRITTEN ESTIMATE, NO PRESSURE AT ALL TO ME, DID THE JOB IN THE TIMEFRAME SAID THEY EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE IT. NO PROBLEMS WITH THE JOB AND GOOD CLEAN UP.

GAVE DISCOUNT AFTER THE QUOTE. HELD TO THE QUOTE EVEN THOUGH OTHER ISSUES CAME UP. UTMOST PROFESSIONALS.

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING. DAVE BAHR IMMEDIATELY RETURNED MY CALL, WAS THE FIRST TO PROVIDE A QUOTE, AND WAS THE PERSON WHO ESTIMATED THE JOB. HIS PRICE WAS THE LOWEST I RECEIVED. DAVE ALWAYS KEPT ME APPRISED OF THE JOB STATUS, AND THERE WERE NO SURPRISES. THE HISPANIC INSTALLATION CREW WORKED HARD AND CLEANED UP WELL. I HAVE NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR DAVE BAHR'S PROFESSIONALISM AND SERVICE. MY EXPERIENCE WAS AN EXCELLENT ONE. DAVE IS A PLEASANT, HONEST GUY WHO TRIES HARD TO DO A GOOD JOB. A LITTLE STORY: DAVE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO PERSONALLY RE-INSTALL AND AIM MY SATELLITE DISH AS THE WORK WAS FINISHING UP. AFTER AN HOUR OF FAILING TO FIND THE SIGNAL, HE WENT TO THE STORE AND RETURNED WITH A COMPASS AND SEXTANT-LIKE THING TO AIM THE DISH EXACTLY. ANOTHER HOUR LATER, STILL NO LUCK. THEN MANUEL (THE FOREMAN) AMBLED OVER, GRABBED THE TOP OF THE DISH AND SWUNG IT AROUND, SAYING ''IT WAS ABOUT LIKE THIS.'' **BING!** THE SIGNAL APPEARED. AMAZING. BTW, DIRECTV'S ELEVATION COORDINATE IS WRONG.

ORIGINALLY, THEY WERE GOING TO INSTALL FOUR NEW ROOF VENTS. WHEN THEY CAME TO DO THE WORK, IT TURNED OUT THAT MY EXISTING VENTS WERE INSTALLED IMPROPERLY (HOLES NOT LARGE ENOUGH, CLOGGED, FLASHING WASN'T RIGHT, ETC. - WHICH WASN'T SURPRISING AT ALL) AND THEY ENDED UP JUST PROPERLY INSTALLING NEW VENTS IN THE EXISTING LOCATIONS. THE QUOTE CAME QUICKLY, I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS REACHING THEM, AND THEY WERE OUT TO DO THE WORK JUST TWO DAYS AFTER I INITIALLY CALLED THEM BACK TO HAVE THEM DO THE WORK. IT'S DIFFICULT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE QUALITY OF THE WORK IS, BUT EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD FROM THE GROUND AND I FEEL THEY WERE HONEST WITH ME.
