His work is fast and efficient and he is a very clean worker. He cleans up after his work is finished and he leaves no trace of having been there.
Description of Work: Mr Garrett moved two kitchen cabinets and a stove to allow for our poor measuring techniques and a new refrigerator. He was, as always, prompt, courteous, fairly priced and his work is experienced and precise. I highly recommend him for all your remodeling needs as well as heating and air conditioning. He is a very businessman and does excellent work consistently. We have hired him many times and will hire him again and continue to recommend him.

I meet with you for several hours and wrote down everything you wanted. Spent several days preparing a free, detailed estimate. Afterword, you ignored my follow up phone calls and emails. I don't think I deserve such a horrible grade for all my effort.

Contacted Dave Garret 5/26 to set up an estimate to repair my fire damaged home. He was not friendly at all and somewhat cocky/rude in his tone. He also said he does not do insurance estimates. He finally agreed to come to give an estimate, as I told him I am it is not an insurance estimate as he is assuming...I simply need my house repaired to be made livable again. He would not even confirm a time frame for Saturday 5/28, just that he would be there on Saturday. I called today, 5/27 to confirm for tomorrow (Sat 5/28), and to ask for a phone call first, as I am not physically gonna be at the property (as it is fire damaged). Once again, he was cocky/rude. How does a business work like this? How can I trust a company do work on the outside and inside of my home if they cannot be friendly and professional? I am left here simply shaking my head. Who needs someone to act like this after just experiencing a house fire? I signed up for Angie's List thinking I would find reputable companies and this is my first experience. Not a good one. Needless to say, I will not be using Garrett Building Co.
Description of Work: I set up an appointment for Saturday 5/28 for an estimate. I had to cancel due to the rudeness of Dave Garrett, the owner of Garrett Building Co.

Dave did an excellent job, and completed the work ahead of schedule, with no issues with cost or additional extras. He was extremely professional...polite, prompt, and conscience of his surroundings...but he was also a genuinely nice guy, who I trusted with the house and my family (the first sign of this was when our cat jumped on his lap and sat down, which she literally never does). Dave's considerable experience was evident in his attention to detail, craftsmanship, and thoroughness in how he performed the work (e.g. The way he braced/reinforced the roof prior to removing the old posts took more work, but ensured the roof was properly supported at the joist/header junction, instead of just propping it up with 2x4s from the ground, which I've typically seen on other jobs). Dave and his crew cleaned up each day following the construction, and promptly disposed of all the old materials they had removed. I highly recommend Garrett Building Company (and already have to two of my friends), and would (will, actually) use him again. Dave does what he says, when he says he will do it, and does it well. I also thought his cost was very reasonable.
Description of Work: Remodeled existing front porch - removed old wood flooring, steps, rails, and roof support posts; replaced with composite decking/steps and vinyl/steel posts
Professional, efficient and always cleaned up after.
Description of Work: Toilet was leaking and caused damage to the floor. He replaced the toilet, floor and put down new tile. Removed double Sink and replaced the floor.

Dave Garrett was great! We found him through Angie's List! Dave was prompt and wonderful to work with. He made a dated kitchen look modern and elegant. Dave took ownership of the property. We were not able to be there during the project. Dave made sure the property was locked and tidy. There were other contractors in and out who were painting or installing carpet, Dave managed to keep the place in order. When asked if we would use Dave again? ..... Yes. We are saving for the bathrooms now!
Description of Work: Garrett Building Co did the following: Removed old kitchen cabinets, countertops and sink. Ordered and installed new kitchen cabinets, countertops and sink. Built shelves in the kitchen pantry. Repaired 2 broken window handles. Ordered and replaced several ventilation covers. Installed new dishwasher and microwave. Installed a beautiful and fairly complicated tile backsplash in kitchen. Repaired broken bedroom closet door.

Mr. Garret got back to us quickly and was here when he said he'd be. We had gotten a new gas dryer to replace our electric one, and we needed to upgrade our dryer vent. Dave got this done as well as replacing some leaky parts in the washing machine faucets, and all was well until the installers came and we discovered that the dryer didn't fit back into the cubby it belongs in. He fixed the position of the vent in the wall, then went in search of the small leak that showed up in the basement when we used the washing machine. All is well and we are up and running laundry safely and with no leaks. Mr. Garrett is the best.
Description of Work: Put in new dryer vent from the wall to the outside, and found and fixed a problem with a leak from the washing machine water supply.

I telephoned you right after receiving your email request for a deck repair/ replacement quote. You were working & could not meet for some time. I drove by the job site that day to get an idea of what you had going on. I was concerned seeing the dilapidated condition of deck. I did email you back with my findings and ask for further direction from you. Not hearing back from you, I assumed you hired someone else. Sorry for any confusion.
Dave provided us with upfront pricing for the job, was able to complete the work within a very reasonable time frame, and was flexible with changes we requested along the way. He did high quality work, with attention to detail. We would hire him again, and would recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Dave remodeled our condo in Ocean City, including repainting throughout the main living area, installing a new screen door, new hardwood flooring, and new lighting fixtures.

I needed to have a small bathroom completely remodeled. While I did not award the project to Garrett Building Co., I am glad the I got to meet the owner, Dave. Dave arrived at my house on time, and exhibited detailed knowledge of all that had to be done. He looked at all issues with the renovation, plumbing, electricity, tile installation, etc. He also gave me some good ideas I didn't think of. His estimate came back in a timely manner. I would definitely consider Garrett Building for my next project.

Mr. Garrett is pleasant, prompt, skilled and knowledgeable about renovation. He has good suggestions for the project at hand. His work is beautiful and precise. He cleans up every day before he leaves and so the progress is easy to see. His estimate was fairly and competitively priced and his projection for completion was right on target. I would recommend him to anyone needing construction work and I will definitely contact him again when we have any projects.
Description of Work: Mr. Garrett installed a new counter top and single cabinet in the kitchen. It was necessary for him to repair a section of wall behind the refrigerator as well. He laid new vinyl flooring tiles. He also installed a tile backsplash above stove and sink. He gave our kitchen a huge facelift. In the bathroom he removed all old tile flooring and wall tile and old tub. He repaired old drywall, installed new tub and wall tile and laid a new tile floor. He had to remove the toilet and sink/vanity to accomplish all this.

Dave Garrett helped us upgrade our kitchen and family room, and I don?t think we could have done better. From the beginning design and budget to the final small tweaks, he has been knowledgeable of his craft, and patient with us as we learned what we were doing. Dave has taken the bumps along the way in stride and did not cut corners in quality of workmanship or materials. We found rotting floors, plumbing not up to code, and stray electrical wires in this old house, and Dave and his workers got it all fixed and working well. Dave laid new laminate flooring, fixed cracks in the walls and ceiling in the family room, replaced the walls and ceiling in the kitchen, closed a half wall, installed new cabinets and lighting, moved plumbing to accommodate the new design of the kitchen, and installed a drain under the washing machine in the kitchen. Dave was great about letting us know when he was going to be here and worked around the times we couldn't be home. Reliability means a lot to me, and he was a breath of fresh air.
Description of Work: Helped with the design of a new kitchen space. Put new flooring in Family Room, fixed cracks in ceiling and painted, laid laminate flooring. Demolished and installed new kitchen including new ceiling, changing the plumbing, installing new electrical outlets, and removing rotting subfloor and putting in new.

The old shower stall and window were removed. The shower stall area was turned into a closet and the window was replaced. The existing bathtub had shower plumbing installed, the walls were tiled, and a new sink and vanity were also installed which meant that the plumbing had to be changed a little to accommodate the smaller vanity. The old overhead light and fan were replaced. The tile flooring was removed and replaced with vinyl. The narrow bathroom door was replaced with a wider one. We had removed as much of the old wallpaper as we could, and they gave it a try, but too much paste had been used too long ago, so we were given options of what to to besides paint, and opted to replace the wallboard and go ahead and paint anyway. Mr. Garrett has been a pleasure to work with. We had never done anything on this scale before and he was good about walking us through it and answering questions, or asking them when we weren't clear. He or his workers were here when they said they'd be, called when he said he would, or was good about letting us know if he couldn't make it at a given time. His estimates were good, except when my tastes weren't in the budget he provided. I was okay with this added cost, as it was my choice to go beyond the budget. One of the most important things is the quality of the work, and I can say I am pleased with the work that was done, and the assurances that he'd be back if we found something amiss. We are now getting ready to replace flooring and remodel the kitchen with Mr. Garrett as well.

I recommend hiring this company. Dave is a nice, respectable gentleman. I felt comfortable with him immediately. Work completed in one day. No trash left behind.
Description of Work: Had siding replaced that was damaged in one of the many storms we've had this year. Looks great! Dave's crew also replaced a section of soffit that was missing. He had extra work that he had to do in regards to the soffit that he did not anticipate. I offered to cover the cost, but he stuck to his original estimate. That is so professional! I am so pleased with his work that I will be hiring him to remodel my kitchen.
