The project took about a day and a half. The installers were punctual and professional, and cleaned up after themselves. The new roof and cricket look great, and the leaks in the carport roof are gone.
Description of Work: Replaced badly installed & leaking roof on our carport, as well as two faces on the main roof of the house. The latter work included installing a cricket behind a large chimney.

We were very happy with the porch construction and because of that we have hired Mike for all our other jobs that needed to be done. He is fair, honest and professional and a very nice guy to work with and that makes things go much more smoothly. The subcontractors that he uses do quality work and are a pleasure to have around our home. Any construction work or renovation in your home is an inconvenience but Mike and his crew minimize that as much as possible. We would highly recommend Mike Dodson Construction!
Description of Work: Mike and his crew built our screened porch years ago and we love it! He also took care of getting our roof replaced last year. Currently Mike is finishing our third floor with his very capable and professional crew.

Service was started as promised and completed in two days. Each day, the clean-up was thorough - you could not really tell anybody had been there. I did have some cheaper bids (and one for about the same price), but was I not confident in what I was getting for the money. Usually cheaper meant installation over the existing asphalt - not the way I wanted to go. Mike was able to explain what I was getting for the money in a matter-of-fact manner that was not a bunch of sales-hype.

Highly recommend as we are very pleased with the outcome of our project. Would absolutely use Mr. Dodson again if we had a need. He had very helpful insights when working with the architect on design, checked with us as applicable about implementing design details throughout the project, has skilled & conscientious employees & sub-contractors, and deals effectively with unanticipated events (jobsite issues, inspection problems, etc.).

I called and left a message about getting someone to look at a roof leak. Mr. Dodson called me back the same day and left a message for me. After a day or two of phone tag, I caught up with him. He was very nice and explained that he had recently had a sharp uptick in the number of jobs and wasn't able to agree to do anything soon. Said he'd keep my contact information and pass it along to anyone he ran across and might have some openings. I really appreciated him calling me back to let me know what the deal was - I called several people and it must have been really busy for everyone, but most folks didn't call back at all. I will definitely call Dodson again for future jobs.
Description of Work: Returned my calls promptly and was honest about not having capacity to take on new clients.

It has been over two years since it has been built and we have had no problems. There were a lot of unanticipated glitches and they were all handled in a professional way. Among the glitches were delays in the permit process and wood rot on our house leading to the replacement of a door. They also worked straight through a heat wave.

The results were excellent, and I am very satisfied. I did monitor the job as it progressed. I had photos of the original deck if questions arose. His crew was very competent. They made several suggestions that improved results on the stairs and planters, while maintaining the original appearance. The finished deck looks very good and everything feels solid. The lumber quality was beyond my expectations, with many boards having no knots at all and the rest having an occasional very small knot. Mike had ordered some extra boards so that they could be culled so that only the best boards were used. Unused boards were then returned to the local supplier, Mebane Lumber. At the end of the job, Mike Dodson went over all the screws on the deck to make sure they were flush, and that no places were missed. Cleanup was meticulous and everything was swept clean.
Description of Work: This was a renovation of an approximately 600 sq.ft. deck, which was 26 years old. The horizontal decking needed replacement because of weathering and checking, but the joists and support members below the deck were still sound. All of the horizontal boards and some other boards on the main deck, two stairways and two planters were replaced, maintaining the existing design. Mike Dodson came to my house on Auguet 19th and we discussed how the job would be done in detail.. We specified premium 5/4" x 6 " width pressure-treated lumber, kiln dried before and after treating. This type of decking is made by Cox lumber, one of the largest suppliers in the Southeast. It was agreed to use 3-inch long hot-dipped galvanized screws with a square drive hole in the top of the screw for best installation.. Afterwards Mr. Dodson emailed a professional and detailed written quote of $7314 (with Angie's list discount) with a complete breakdown of labor and materials. The job was scheduled to start on 9/3/2014, weather permitting, with completion in 4-5 consecutive days. Initially 3 men and later 2 men worked on the job. Old decking was removed in sections and replaced with new decking each day. All debris was removed in their truck each day, and a magnetic sweep was done to insure there were no old nails or screws in my drieway. The job was completed in 4 days plus a few hours on the 5th day. Mike Dodson was there at the beginning and end of the job and at various times in-between.

It looks good. Doesn't appear like a rush job or that is what it was meant to be originally.
Description of Work: build an extra step to a deck platform walkway due to settling of ground near driveway. Had to cut an existing 4x4 support beam to extend another due to the ground settling and deck sinking. Then build to extra step since the driveway that abutted the step had sunk as well.

He was good. He did a project for me and we discussed it and he told me sign off on it so that's good. He's very easy top work with. The price was reasonable.
Description of Work: I used Dodson Construction Company to remodel a bedroom and a bath for me.
Mike Dodson of Dodson Construction company is professional, punctual, honest, reasonably priced, skilled and has a host of phenomenal suppliers and subcontractors. Mike was always available to discuss our concerns, modifications (there were many), options, areas of potential cost savings and any other items pertinent to the project. Mike was also great at educating us regarding areas to not cut costs on and why. He was patient with our seemingly never ending list of add-ons and changes. Mike and his crew were always reliable and tidy. Trust was never a concern and the end product is beautiful. The very few, normal, minor issues that have arisen since the project completion have been addressed promptly and without hassle. We have embarked on several remodels over the years and Mike was (and is) the most relaxed yet professional contractor ever encountered. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a residential contractor. Mike was always available via text, phone and email which we truly appreciated as this isn't always the case with general contractors. His company is based out of Hillsboro, NC and the best number to reach him is 919-644-0076.

He came in and he was really high. He was very professional, very professional. He was very confident. He knew exactly what he was doing. But you could just tell he was probably hired other people to do the job so we went ahead and hired someone who actually does it themselves where he doesn't have to contract it out.

Response from DODSON CONSTRUCTION CO INC
I may be mistaken, but I have no records of an estimate submitted to [ member's name removed]. Without a review of the submitted estimate I cannot respond properly. If I submitted an estimate to another family member please respond with their name. I have built my company name on quality of work and the satifaction of the homeowner, I am rarely the lowest bidder. The quality of competing bidders often carries a lot of weight upon where my bid may be ranked in the order of the total bids.

Mike was suggested as a viable contractor by another contractor that I respect, so I asked for an estimate from him. Mike is very easy to work with and listens to what you want and makes suggestions when he thinks he should. The employees and sub-contractors that he brought in were knowledgeable, skilled and were people that I was very comfortable with having in my house. The work progressed as I had expected. When we had a surprise of a waste line in the wall where a doorway was to be cut, the plumber came in and moved the line and kept the job moving. The cabinets that were built match my other cabinets exactly. I had slide-out shelving built. When an adjustment needed to be made, the cabinet maker came out and took care of it immediately. He had been able to make the trim to match the detailing on the cabinets exactly. One small item - I'm still waiting on a trim piece for the ice maker line supply box. Only reason I gave a "b" on price was that I had gotten two estimates The first guy took longer to do the estimate. He came back higher. But then Mike ended up increasing his estimate after I had decided to go with him. We did discuss the cost and he worked with me. I felt that I had given each contractor the same detail. Mike still came in fairly close to the other contractor, so I think he was in the ballpark for a general who manages the project from start to finish. The contractors did their best to keep a clean site and cleaned up each day. They were there when they said they would be.
Description of Work: I had my kitchen and utility room reworked to move the refrigerator and dryer and to add cabinets and relocate the entry into the utility room. I also had a closet removed and that door removed and the wall repaired. Rather than remove the existing cabinets, I had cabinets made to match them. I had a layout in mind when I got estimates, but was concerned about bearing walls. I wanted to work with someone who knew building codes and understood structural issues.

Mike, the owner, came out to my house within an hour of my call on a Saturday. I reported to him that I had a drip happening in an upstairs window and could find no source. He investigated, including going up into the (probably) 165 degree attic and found the problem. It was not his area of expertise (not construction/roofing, but heating and air conditioning) and recommended someone to help with the issue. He was prompt, courteous and exceedingly helpful. AND, he did not charge me. What a company! Told him that the minute he left I was going to write a good report for Angie's List and recommend him to anyone needing construction. DO NOT HESITATE to call on Dodson Construction.
Description of Work: Dodson Construction thoroughly assessed the potential roofing issue I was having by researching both where the leak was emanating from and climbing to the attic to investigate further sources of leakage.

This addition created a new larger laundry and mud room and created a new side entry into our home. Our wish and request was for the addition to match our existing home as completely as possible so as to appear an original part of the home. Mike & crew did an outstanding job in this regard. On the exterior, Mike took pains to match the wood accents and shutters on the windows, the wood columns and woodwork on the new covered porch, the shingles and all other exterior aspects of the new construction to the existing home. On the interior, the baseboards, crown molding, wood cabinetry and light fixtures were all carefully matching to the existing kitchen. Additionally, in order to create the new entry into the kitchen, Mike & crew breached a wall, removed a small section of tile flooring and replaced with wood plank flooring which had to be blended into and stain matched to the existing wood flooring in the kitchen. This was a nice improvement to the existing kitchen. During the consultation & bidding process Mike listened to our input, noted where code requirements would influence decisions, laid out options for later choices and provided a base bid with clear notations on cost allowances for various items. Construction started on time. Mike was generally on-site each day to coordinate activities but would let us know in advance if he would not be on-site on a particular day. Mike was readily available via cell phone and email for questions, etc. Mike provided weekly expectations of work to be performed and any decisions we needed to make on materials, fixtures, etc. There were a few instances where we asked Mike to rework items. In each case the issue was addressed promptly and completely to our satisfaction. The tile grout color did not match our expectations and was re-grouted. The final finish on the hardwood floor was not as smooth as the existing floor (although the color match was great) and was refinished. A couple of subcontractors didn't cleanup completely after themselves but Mike took care of it as soon as we brought it to his attention. Overall, we are very pleased with the quality and results.Overall, we feel the value was good. The original bid was on budget (not counting our various change orders). We may have been able to reduce costs by using someone who performed most of the work themselves or by simplifying the trim, finish and cabinets. However, the final product is exactly what we were hoping for and the in the expected time frame. We also added several significant change orders including a garden window and extensive wood cabinetry which added to the cost.
Description of Work: We collected three comprehensive bids from three well ranked contractors on Angie's List. We chose Mike Dodson because of his extensive new home construction experience and his remodeling experience. Since this addition was much more than an enclosed porch we wanted someone with wide experience. Mike Dodson & crew built an addition with entry and covered porch of approximately 200 sq ft., created a new entry into the kitchen, added new cabinetry in both the addition and expanded kitchen area and made some other minor repairs on the original home. The addition included a concrete, cinder block and brick foundation, complete framing, Hardiplank siding, asphalt shingle roofing, HVAC, plumbing & electrical for washers, dryer & sink, tile floor, wood plank flooring, windows, painting, etc.. Also included was a covered brick porch with iron railing. In order to create the new entry and transition into the kitchen, Mike & crew removed a small existing laundry room, turned a window into a full doorway, removed some unwanted wall sections, removed a small section of tile flooring and replaced with wood plank flooring which had to be blended into and stain matched to the existing wood flooring in the kitchen.

Mr. Dodson was professional, giving me a complete estimate before commencing work. He, his workers, and subcontractors were polite, friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. I never heard a curse word from anyone. His price was higher than other contractors I had contacted, but he was the most professional and up-front. I would use him again for any project I had, and will recommend him to anyone who asks. My neighbors have commented very favorably on the look of the deck and screen room. I am enjoying my addition immensely.

They didn't do the work. I didn't go with them because of the price. I really liked them. He was very honest and he was local. It was just more than I wanted to spend. I didn't think he was too high for what I asked him to do. I decided I didn't want to spend that much money for what I thought I wanted but held back my plan rather than find somebody else to do it cheaper. I really liked him and I would definitely ask him to quote again on a different project if I have it come up. He seemed very honest and knowledgeable. He was very detailed.

When we began the process, we were amazed at how many contractors didn't return our calls when we were calling to get estimates, occasionally didn't show up for appointments and frequently, if they did show up, showed up late. Mike Dodson did none of the above. He returned our call and was on time for our appointment. He spent a lot of time talking to us about various options and answering our questions about the process. When we were finally finished with talking to contractors, we decided to choose Dodson Construction simply because they were the best we had spoken to. Once we had signed the contract, Mike Dodson explained what the process was going to be. Application for building permit, etc. Everything went smoothly because even when things didn't (permit took longer than expected, inspectors not showing up, etc.), he called to let us know what was happening and why. (I can deal with things not going as scheduled as long as I know what is happening.) After construction began, he let us know who was going to be doing what, when and where so there were no surprises. Our screened porch is beautiful and we spend a lot of time outside using it. We have received nothing but complements on it from anyone who has seen it. All in all, it was money well spent.
Description of Work: Dodson construction removed a small deck that the builder of our home had put on and then they built an 18x20 screened porch with an attached open deck to the side.
Mike obtained all necessary permits, used top-quality materials, and completed the porch in a timely manner. His assistants were prompt and very polite, even cleaning up any mess at the end of each day. We couldn't be more pleased with our porch!
Description of Work: Mike Dodson designed and built us a screened-in porch. This included removing a window, moving an air duct, and adding an exterior door to our family room.
