Description of Work: We hired On Time Contractors to finish our basement. I was very pleased with their work. I was most impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness. Their work crew was very respectful and left the basement amazingly clean after work each day. Every time I contacted them with a question or concern, Maria responded to me within one day (and usually within hours). We've received many compliments on our basement. I would recommend On Time Contractors without hesitation. We had a great experience with them.

Description of Work: We had our basement finished by On Time Contractors. We looked at several different companies to finish our basement (It was rough framed after we remodeled the whole thing) and included the following: One bedroom (egress window was put in during the remodel of the house so no exterior work was needed), a closet for the bedroom, under the stairs storage, a bathroom with a tile shower, and a family room / office space. Pavel came out to our home and walked through the basement to get a rough idea of the effort and to do some preliminary measurements in order to provide a quote. After about 45 minutes of talking through the project and Pavel measuring the various rooms and discussing the overall project, he provided me with a quote. There were some items on the quote that I decided we would provide so he removed those and we settled on a price. The other nice thing is they could start in one week and could finish the job in 8 weeks. After meeting with a few other contractors (all of which were $20k or more and couldn't start the work for a month or two) we decided to go with On Time Contractors. They started on the Thursday before Labor day and they got to work immediately. They did some demolition of the current framing which was not up to their standards (which I greatly appreciated!) and had the general framing and preliminary plumbing done with the first week. The project moved along at a good pace. There were a few days where they couldn't do work due to scheduling conflicts or waiting for inspections, pretty typical stuff when it comes to these kinds of projects. I detailed a lot of the project on a blog at www.mnhomeremodel.com. Overall they did a great job. The only slight challenge I had with On Time Contractors was with a couple of their sub-contractors. We indicated that we didn't want workers in the house before 8:30 am or after 5:30 pm. A few days we had people show up at 8 am (without any warning) or some that would work past 5:30 pm without asking. Each time this happened I did communicate to the project manager about this and generally it was resolved and an apology issued. We did have an incident where the painting crew they used were arguing loudly in our basement with each other. The project manager addressed this with the painters and they apologized for their lack of professionalism. Overall, the crews that worked on the project were great. The framers did an incredible job making our walls level and the tile guys did an awesome job putting in a shower and floor that looks great. Don't let my comments about a few issues with the subcontractors prevent you from calling On Time. They have great people that do a great job and work very hard. If they needed an extra hour to work late, they would politely ask if it was possible. The most important thing is they finished the job in 7 weeks (1 week earlier than expected) and they also finished it on budget. Pavel and his team know remodeling and will provide you with a finished product that you can be proud to show your family and friends.

Thank you very much for the review. We enjoyed working for you and thank you very much for mentioning that we finished your project one week ahead of schedule and that we replaced your framing in the basement that your builder used. We use only premium grade lumber that is straight and dry, so your walls will be plumb. And ''largest'' thank you is for mentioning that our proposal was 20K lower than competitors'!

Thank you for your response. Your project was completed in the spring/summer of 2013. We are sorry that you were not completely satisfied with our service and frankly we are very surprised that you gave us a bad rating for everything, even for quality. I guess when a customer is not completely satisfied with something, it is very difficult to expect great ratings for everything else. Project manager was switched once one your project and not twice (as you mentioned). You made a lot of changes which raised the cost of the project and added additional timing for completion; it was listed in every single change order that you signed how much it would cost and how much time it would add. As an example in the contract we had solid core flush doors, you requested them to be switched to solid core 6-paneled doors, which we had to special order since they were custom height and had to wait 8 weeks for manufacture to build them. When I replaced your project manager I told you that we would finish your project in two weeks and this is exactly what we did. Pavel Sakurets Project Manager

Description of Work: On Time Contractors did a complete bathroom remodel gutting our existing lower level bathroom down to studs to remove sheetrock that was full of mildew. They extended the wall out 9" into the adjacent laundry room to make the very small bathroom larger. They replaced and repositioned all plumbing pipes and electricity, and installed new ceramic tile shower, new vanity, linen closet, exhaust fan and toilet. They installed ceramic tile up to the ceiling and travertine on the floor and also on the top of the vanity . The walls have a travertine decorative line all the way around the mirror above the vanity then extending completely around all of the walls, including in the shower. Clear communication seemed to be an issue. Sometimes the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. I guess that was the biggest problem for me. A few things were ordered incorrectly--we planned to keep our toilet and it got pulled out and put in the dumpster instead. My payments, as per contract, were made in a timely manner---even the last one which came with a promise that they would come back to do some small,last minute, adjustments. Never came back. Ticked me off!!~! We asked for an additional bid on a remodel to our family room, and they never got back to us about that. Think they were just too busy.I was not impressed with their "showroom" so purchased many of the bathroom elements myself both on line and at local wholesalers. "OnTime Contractors" were very fair and cooperative with that, as long as I was responsible to pick up the items and have them available when installation was upcoming. That worked out well.

While I was under the impression that you are pleased with your new basement bathroom, I regret that your experience was difficult and you felt that the communication broke down. We have recently instituted some new policies and procedures to insure that we don’t have the break down of communication. Regarding the additional bid, I personally helped the sales rep measure the family room and am disappointed that he did not get back to you with the estimate. He was new at the time and may have been overwhelmed with the process we follow. Rob Project Manager

Description of Work: Your ad specifies that you do many different types of projects, but did not specify that you will only take the job if and only if the customers is willing to spend more than $15,000 dollars on any given project.

Thank you for posting your report. We are very sorry that your project is small for us and we can’t work on it. We contacted Angies List on 10/13/11 and asked them to add this information into our company’s description that we do not work on projects that are below $15,000. We responded to several reports like yours the same way before, if you read them you will see that we wrote “WE DO NOT PROVIDE ESTIMATES OR WORK ON PROJECTS THAT ARE BELOW $15,000’’ but we always serve well customers who we work for.

On Time Contractors is precisely what the name suggests from bid to completion. Pavel and his crews arrived to work when promised, and finished the project in a timely and professional manner. Our basement turned out beautiful. They were polite, helpful, and the quality of work is excellent. No extra charges and an impeccable job. I highly recommend them.

I received bids from multiple contractors. My first instinct was to go with a "name" company, but after meeting with Pavel Sakurets of On Time Contractors I chose to give them a try. He provided me with a bid on the spot that was completely accurate. He gave me suggestions on how I might finish the space to conserve cost and get the best resale value. He bid the job from start to finish...other contractors would have required that I take care of the painting and carpeting on my own. He finished the project right on schedule, in 4 weeks, even though there were some holiday days off in the time-frame. I spoke with him several times throughout the project, and was kept well informed of the upcoming work to expect. Any time I needed to call with questions, Pavel answered the phone. His crew was polite and kept the mess to a minimum. They provided very quality work. I have already talked with On Time Contractors about possible future projects.

On Time Contractors is the best contractor I have ever worked with. I have moved a lot and hired contractors in other cities, so I have some experience. Pavel is very precise with his time and cost estimates. What he quotes is what it is. I was very happy with how quickly they completed the project. On time is a very good name for them. They were on time everyday, and the crew worked very hard. One day they even worked through lunch because they wanted to get this part finished. Pavel is a perfectionist, and it shows in his work. The basement is great. He even recommended a different plumber to me than I had originally planned, and ended up saving me a few thousand dollars! He has an excellent work ethic. I trust his advice and opinions. It was a great experience, and I recommend him highly.
Description of Work: Pavel and his crew gutted our basement that had been finished poorly by a previous homeowner, and refinished it to our specifications. This included adding a bedroom and bathroom in the space that were not there previously.
