Description of Work: We selected Chris Nemec after reading about him on Angie's list. We interviewed several contractors but were quite clear he would be our choice. Our project had a very tight deadline and included all new wood flooring throughout the main floor. Chris did all the prep and dismantling of old kitchen to prepare for floors. He hung new doors, installed new vanity in powder room, repaired and installed tile and drain in laundry area. He handled all the new kitchen dry wall as well as many dry wall repairs in various rooms. There was an unexpected structural issue associated with a decision to move a wall for better flow. While an engineer was hired by us Chris handled the tricky supports and was not flustered about this new challenge. The main job was building a new kitchen including cabinets, backsplash and, all electrical, install and hook up of all appliances as well as all plumbing. Chris recommended the cabinet source as well as many other suppliers. They were all easy to work with and all seemed to like working with Chris as well.

Description of Work: Chris Nemec was awesome! After reviewing photos of our concerns in regards to some floor joists he assured us this was perfectly normal. Knowing our concerns he could have come out and charged us a bundle but he was honest and professional. I will definitely continue to recommend Nemec Construction!

Description of Work: We received several different estimates from different companies, including recommendations from our realtor and two companies from Angie's list. We decided to use Nemec Construction based on Chris Nemec's Q & A session at our home. He seemed very interested in the project, but also asked more specific questions and made several suggestions that the other contractors didn't mention. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He also seemed to believe that a person's reputation was very important. We wanted (1) glass tile on the kitchen walls removed and replaced with stone tile, (2) small crack repaired in study wall, with wall being restored (including putting on "knock down" and finding matching paint) and (3) finishing a large basement storage room, so that it could be used as a second family/gaming room & exercise room. This included building a closet for the water heater, framing, putting several different storage areas on different electrical switches, putting up drywall, covering the walls with knock down so the room would match the rest of the house, painting, putting up crown molding, making a ceiling that included boxing in large A/C ducts, putting in new lighting, floor tile, and new doors. Essentially everything that you can think of to make a bare, cement block space into a lovely new room that looks like it was part of the original house. Chris had all the estimates broken down including the costs of city/county inspections, and he made the arrangements for the inspections after coordinating with our time schedule.

Description of Work: Chris built a beautiful wood fence to enclose my front and side yards as well as the back deck and carport area. My main objective was to put up a fence that was in keeping with the Craftsman style of the home and to mirror the style of the front porch railing. In addition, I wanted to be able to open any door in the house and let the dog out into an area enclosed by fence. Because of an unusual situation involving a shared driveway, I originally planned to put a gate across the driveway near my carport and enclose all of the backyard, but after mulling the layout, decided instead to enclose the deck and carport area and skip the gate idea. Chris was very flexible with my change request. I asked Chris to build the fence about 5 feet inside the property line so that I can landscape on the outside of the fence in the spring. (My dog likes to eat shrubs and flowers, so I figured this will give the new landscape a fighting chance.) Chris pre-stained the wood before the building the sections, so that it looked perfectly finished when the last section went in. I asked that the posts be capped with copper, which Chris was able to do. I have had many neighbors compliment me on the look of the fence. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. As a side note, shortly before the fence was finished, I had an accident and wasgoing to be unable to take the dog for walks for about six weeks, so when the final sections of the fence went in about a week after my accident, the dog had free rein of the yard and I don't think has missed going for walks since! Perfect timing. The fence was not inexpensive, but I did get several quotes, and for the type of fence I wanted, Chris's quote was competitive, and the quality of work was excellent.

Description of Work: I had a hard time finding a local contractor to work on my garage project. Sometimes they would not call me back after they came out for an estimate, or sometimes they just wouldn't return my calls. Then I found Nemec Construction. Chris Nemec came out to home timely and gave me an accurate estimate within a few days. He listened to what I wanted and made it happen within my budget. Chris and his crew turned a basement room in my home, formally a garage, back into a two car garage for me. They demolished the half brick and half siding wall then framed in the opening for the garage door subcontractor to install the door and opener. Chris's estimates included subcontractors fees which was awesome. I didn't have to worry about paying them and he inspected their work. I am pretty handy guy, I enjoy working on my house, and I was really pleased with their attention detail. They left their jobsite clean and professional. They removed all the demolition debris. It was a very turnkey job, just what I wanted. During the project Chris did run into a few unexpected issues, but he and his crew just made everything work. It turned out awesome.

Description of Work: When we hired Chris Nemec and his talented crew, he knew he was taking on a difficult job. No pressure, Chris, but could you please demolish the much-loved, beautiful cabin that my great grandmother lived in almost a hundred years ago--the one that has been a family vacation spot for six generations? But first could you salvage all the wonderful shutter windows, ladder-back doors and any other architectural pieces that my family cannot bear to throw away? And most important of all, could you please save the three stunningly beautiful stone fireplaces that give this cabin its unique character? Then could you please build a charming new cabin that looks just like the old one from the outside, but will be open, sleek, and modern on the inside? What I discovered was that Chris Nemec is a courageous young man who relishes challenges. He said yes immediately, then over the course of the summer and early fall he proceeded to build an 865 square-foot cabin that far exceeded our high expectations. (Please see attached photos.) To my surprise, Chris's original estimates were pretty darn accurate. I myself decided to make some changes and upgrades along the way, so most of the differences between the original budget and the final budget were due to my choices. The one area where Chris was off a bit in the budget projection was the cost of demolition and grading. This was not his fault. The original chimneys were more difficult to save then we thought, but I authorized Chris to spend what we needed to keep these special works-of-art intact. Due to his skillful engineering and building talents, he not only saved the three fireplaces, he repaired decades-old damage to the bases of the chimneys, integrating new/distressed stone with the old stone in such a way that the chimneys are in better shape now than they probably have been in almost a century. There are many things about the new cabin that we love. Most of them came into being because of Chris's artistry and good taste: the customized, concrete countertops in the kitchen (made by Chris), the built-in shelves above the washer and dryer (made by Chris), the suggestion to use acacia wood for the floors (Chris's idea); the window designs (Chris), the idea of having the entry wall in the bath be cathedral ceiling height (Chris). You get the idea. This young man is way more than a builder. He is an artist and craftsman. Chris is modern in his skills and tastes, and yet he is "old school" in his character, which was a delight to discover. What do I mean by old school? Chris Nemec is completely honest. I mean it. His work ethic is as strong, tough, and disciplined as it gets. He is true to his word. He takes pride in his work and seems incapable of producing anything that is not of high quality. He values the relationship, and he treats people right. He certainly always treated me well as his customer, but he is a person who also treats his work partner and crew extremely well. It is no wonder that he has had the same great professionals working with him for many years. Truth be known--this young man is a gem. How were we lucky enough to find him? His talents and skills were the perfect fit for our needs. When I think of his gifts as a designer/builder and master carpenter, the words that best describe how I feel are gratitude, respect, and admiration. At some point--if we have more money, fingers crossed--we are going to build more structures on our family homestead. Of course the first person we willI turn to will be Chris Nemec.

Description of Work: We had six windows installed, drywall replaced, carpet removed and bamboo flooring installed, and a laundry room moved. The windows were new installs, so they had to remove drywall in the room, install headers, and while he was in there, he also increased our insulation R-factor considerably. The drywall was then replaced. They installed bamboo flooring in two rooms and a hallway after removing old carpets. Finally, they moved our laundry room downstairs, which included cutting into the concrete pad and installing a drain, as well as running the water lines and the dryer exhaust.. They tiled the floor in that room.

Description of Work: Various different things to address drainage issues which were causing flooding.

Description of Work: Coverted a deck adjoining the house to a workshop, including extending the deck and shingling the extended roof, preparing the foundation and supports, enclosing, insulating, installing windows, removing existing structure and window and painting the interior. Most importantly, successfully waterproofing the roof of the structure, given that there was an open deck above. The contractor had to coordinate with the engineer, and subs very carefully since this was a difficult challenge given the nature of the existing structure and the tight spaces that needed to be worked in. It should also be mentioned that we always passed the inspections without problems.
