Sampson Construction

Over-all, the projects went quite well. We had been referred to Randy Sampson by a friend who is a machinist. Naturally, our friend is an exceptionally detail-minded person. He had had Sampson Construction re-build his home after a fire, and was very satisfied with the workmanship and general attitude of Randy and his crew. We had obtained bids from three other contractors who are members of Angie's List. All of their bids came in several thousand dollars higher than Sampson's, so we chose to go with Randy. We own a home that was built in 1946, and it had been lived in by the same family up until we purchased it. It had been added onto over the years, the plumbing was in poor condition, the wiring needed serious work, and there was mold in the walls. We gave Randy a specific list of the items that we wanted fixed, and then we left town for a couple of months over the winter. He kept us up to date with e-mailed photos, reports, and requests for changes as necessary. Essentially, he found it necessary to gut the entire house, to the studs, and rebuild it. We received photos and verbal updates, and approved everything that he did, before he did it. There were a couple of minor changes that we requested when we returned but, all-in-all, we are very happy with the work that he did. He brought in help, as necessary, but did the majority of the work himself. That added somewhat to the time that was needed to complete the project, but also helped quite a bit in controlling costs. Randy also built a new garage on the property. I wanted an extra-large space to park a large vehicle that I own, and he built exactly what I asked for. I saved money by doing the wiring and some plumbing myself, and Randy was happy to offer me pointers when I wasn't quite sure what needed to be done. We ended up as friends, and I expect that we will be hiring him again for other projects. I gave Sampson Construction a "B" for Punctuality because, as a small contractor, Randy occasionally took a day off to go help a fellow contractor with a job, and that ate into the time that Randy had available to work on our project. I realize that this type of situation is not uncommon, so it was not a major issue. I met all of the sub-contractors that Randy uses and found that every one of them was very knowledgeable about their chosen field, friendly, and open to discussion of the work that they performed on our project. I have every confidence in Randy, and in his ability to complete a project in a cost-effective manner. I would recommend Sampson Construction LLC to any home owner who is contemplating anything from a small re-modeling job to the construction of a complete new home.
