Professional Contracting

Like a dream. The workers were friendly, clean, prompt, and thorough. Their work was excellent and the owners often checked up on their work.

Excellent - worked very hard to please.

The men who came to replace the roof were courteous and cheerful. They were exact in their roofing and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. They also repaired a part of my gutter just to be helpful.

Plumber was friendly, knowledgeable and fast. The shower door was special ordered but I don't know why a standard door wasn't used. after waiting a week for the door, it wasn't level after installed. Finally got it right. Price was a little higher than other bids.

Art and Felipe did an excellent job helping us define what my wife and I wanted in an exterior make-over of our home. The final result is even better than we could have imagined. Professional Contracting uses a core of reliable trades people who are skilled, reliable, and courteous. We were given daily project updates, and consulted whenever decisions had to be made affecting cost or materials. Attention was given to detail, and at the end they made sure every item on the project punch list was completed to our satisfaction. We had Professional Contracting remodel two bathrooms for us 4 years ago. They didn't disappoint us then, and they provided the same great service at a fair price this time.

Great! The workers were very careful in their efforts to remove the undamaged tiles w/o cracking them. We knew this would be very difficult and they saved as many as possible. We didn't have enough tiles to replace those tiles removed, so we purchased a large medallion which they installed. The cracked tile pieces were used to fill in around the medallion. They did a wonderful job and we would definitely use them again!

Felipe started the project right away. His crews arrived on time and were always polite and respectful. They worked steadily and efficiently and always cleaned up after themselves.

As contractors, they quoted me a price on all services & materials for their hired sub-contractors. Dealing with Professional Contracting was a pleasure. They showed up on time, personally escorted each subcontractor to our home. Introduced us, made sure we were happy with the service and work completion at every step. Living in an area where quality and professional work is hard to come by, this company is refreshing and professional by definition!

It took a while to get it all done, but the quality of the work and the professionalism was outstanding. I am going to use them again for more projects this spring.

Working with Art and Felipe of Professional Contracting turned out to be a huge disappointment. My mother recently moved in with me and my daughter. We decided to build an addition to the house for Mom and found Professional Contracting on Angie's List. Initially, they appeared to be very professional, service oriented, and were able to show us some nice work they had completed for other customers. Even though their quote was higher than some other contractors, we decided to work with Art and Felipe because of additional services they were set up to provide. We paid them $1,830 plus tax to provide a complete set of plans for a permit to begin building. The day they presented us with the plans and the contract for signing is when things went bad. In short (for those not wanting to read all the details) they underbid, tried to con us into about $3,000 worth of upgrades that weren't needed, and refused to work with us to make corrections to plans we already paid for. Their initial bid was $49,777 plus tax which included the cost of providing the plans and permits, as well as supplying and installing an HVAC mini split system for separate temperature control, doors, flooring, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures and paint. By the time we made our decision who to hire, we changed the floor plan and decided to not have the HVAC mini split system. One of the main reasons for changing the floor plan was to eliminate having to completely break through the exterior walls for two bedrooms and having to rebuild the ceiling beams so they wouldn't show. In the final floor plan, the walls stay intact. In the back bedroom one window is relocated, and in the middle bedroom one window is enclosed and only a door is cut into the wall. I have included copies of the floor plans I provided to Art and Felipe. The blueprints Art and Felipe presented to us came with their ideas of where and what type of electrical fixtures we would have. We had them change the recessed lighting to dome lighting which reduced the number of fixtures needed. We also had them add some electrical outlets for user convenience. Then we looked at the pricing on their contract. With the changes made from the initial floor plan to the final floor plan, I had hoped the price would decrease some especially since we no longer wanted the HVAC mini split system which is worth about $3,000. I was quite surprised when they came back with a price of $55,755 plus tax which is almost $6000 more than their initial bid. This price included $2,200 to upgrade the electrical panel and $850 to upgrade the water heater. Felipe told me that the current setup was insufficient and illegal. We currently have 150 amps with a sub panel to handle the central air installed in 2008. Believing Felipe, we agreed that the electrical panel needed to be upgraded. We did, however, decline the upgrade to the water heater. Our water heater is fairly new and there was absolutely no reason to upgrade were increasing the square footage, not the demand for hot water. We asked Art and Felipe to make the changes we discussed on the blueprints and to give us time to look over the contract as we were having a difficult time reconciling the price to their initial bid. We also discussed doing the painting ourselves as they were charging $1,537.50 to do it. The following day I emailed Art asking him to take another look at their pricing and to check the square footage they were charging for because I noticed a discrepancy in my figures vs. their figures. A new contract was emailed to me with a note that. All previous estimates are now null and void. The new contract price was $52,152 plus tax. This contract, however, did not include the $1,830 for the plans, $1,537.50 for painting that we would now do, and about $2,000 worth of allowances for electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, door hardware, and bathroom accessories. The contract now stated that those items are to be provided by the homeowner. So really, when you do the math, the new contract was for about $57,520. It seemed pretty obvious that the relationship with Art and Felipe had become contemptuous so our dealings with them ended at providing the blueprints. However, the story doesn't end there. We took the blueprints to the city for review. While there, I spoke with an inspector and asked him about the situation with our electrical panel that Felipe told me was insufficient and illegal. He told me that 150 amps is more than sufficient for my house and there is absolutely nothing wrong with running a sub panel off of the main panel as long as it has the proper grounding. Mom and I were really disgusted to learn that Art and Felipe almost talked us into spending another $2,200 to upgrade an electrical panel that is apparently sufficient the way it is. The following week, the city called to let me know that corrections were needed on the blueprints. I called both the office phone and Art's cell phone only to get their voice mail. I sent Art an email. Neither Art nor Felipe responded to my email. We did pay them $1,830 for a complete set of plans, so it was their responsibility to have any errors on the plans corrected and provide us with corrected copies. As it turned out, I had to call the architect directly that they contracted with to make the corrections to the plans. He was helpful and did what needed to be done, but I never did hear a word from Art or Felipe. Since there haven't been any confrontations or accusations up to this point, I can only assume that they didn't answer my call or respond to my email because they knew I had realized by now that they had wronged us. The good news to all of this is that we now have a contract signed for $42,390 with a new contractor. Although this price doesn't include the blueprints, it does include re-stuccoing the entire house which is valued between $4,500 - $5,000. From the work we've seen of our new contractor and the fact he's held his license since 2008, I?m confident we will be more than happy with his work here. He's not on Angie's List yet, but definitely will be after completing our project. As for Professional Contracting, I'd advise people to look elsewhere. Reply to provider response -- I did not write this review to hurt the company but to inform Angie's List members. Everything I wrote is a true and accurate account of what happened. The multiple changes the provider claims are all listed in my review. I changed the floor plan. The changes on the blueprints had to be done because of the assumptions made by the company. It is true that Art and Felipe were very accommodating when helping me and my Mom pick out products from their store, and they were also helpful in fine tuning measurements for the final floor plan. In fact, people who have big budgets and can afford to pay for things they don't need would probably be just fine working with this company. I did give this company a B for Quality. Of the work they showed us, only one room was really bad showing every seam in the ceiling. The rest of their work looked pretty good. I would have given them an A for punctuality if I had received a call or return email when corrections to the blueprints were required by the city. Angie's List members can see my track record of reviews. This is only the 2nd company I have given a negative review.

Windows delayed in arriving. Could not complete & had to return 3 weeks later (too cold & stucco didn't set). Workmen pleasant & neat - always cleaned up.

We were having trouble with contractors that gave us the "run around". After their estimate they would not call us back, (probably too small of a job.) We got on to Angie's List and found Professional Contracting. We called them at 8;00am on December 18, 2014 and advised Monica what we needed. We were promptly returned with a call from Art. We were given an estimate that very day, and were advised that the job could be done the next day. The dry wall needed to be repaired first....Vincent arrived that day at noon and began the repair. On December 19, 2014 Professional Contracting called us to let us know that Mario would be arriving at 8:15 to begin work on putting tile in. . Mario arrived promptly at the designated time, after a short lunch break ( approx. 35 min) he returned to complete the job.. After the job was completed, Phillip came to inspect the work and to thank us for calling professional Contractors. Both Phillip and Mario swept our kitchen floor and the outside drive where the tile had been cut.We had been dealing with other contractors for over a month to No avail....just frustration.....and Professional Contractors completed our job in 24 hours!Everyone we dealt with were over and above courteous and professional!No job too large or Too Small for Professional Contractors!!

Robert from Professional Contracting showed up during the 1 hour appointment window and got right to work. He was professional, and did a great job. He took out our old dog door, framed the entire opening for the new door (the last contractor didn't bother following instructions), talked to me a bit about the previous work done, that they had used drywall screws. One of the installation bolts broke when it was being installed and he went out of his way to try to find a replacement. He installed the door, which looks very clean, and caulked the outside with a clear caulking and the interior with a white caulking. He gave me some ideas and recommendations. I was given 2 methods to pay, and wasn't pushed any further work, which always impresses me. He cleaned up the entire area better than when it looked when he showed up. He even removed the old caulking not covered by the new door. I can't recommend these folks enough, very friendly, very prompt, and very much in contact.

the best experience I have had with contracters.I had asked them fo call me so I could get the dogs (5) in the house before they came because after they are here it is hard to get the dogs in the house the building and painting was good quailty

They replaced our roof 7 years ago. Recently, there was a short period of heavy rain which caused a leak in our roof. I called the company and they promptly came out and repaired it.

Great, Job completed on time & cleaned up all left over material.

All subs were very professional - no problems. This was of utmost importance due to elderly father in the home. All were trustworthy. Great experience!

Great work with all questions or concerns answered prompted. The guys were always prompt , thorough and cleaned up after themselves. They spoke English which I really appreciated. The senior discount was much appreciated and was shown on the contract great job. Everyone was very friendly and easy to converse with.

Could not have gone any better!! We are so happy with the addition. The work crew was the nicest , polite and considerate I've ever had to deal with. The construction was done in three weeks and would have been quicker if the inspectors could have gotten by quicker. We even came in a hair under estimate.

.everything went as planned ,customer happy.

Person doing job was very friendly and courteous, on time and professional. Took his time and did not rush. Did excellent job and finished when he said he would.

They came by about 7:20AM, worked very professional, clean and had it done by 2:30PM that same day. Later one other person met to install molding.

Crew arrived at agreed upon time. Professional and efficient, but friendly. Very courteous. Laid paper over carpet in traffic area. Very tidy and clean in work areas inside and out!

They did what they said they would do. We had to break an appointment. They did so without any problems and were able to do the job the next working day. Was a great experience.

Did exactly what was contracted for. Went the extra mile when vent tubes were discovered in the walls - reran vents at no extra charge. Removed wall, closet, door wall, rewired, sheet-rocked, plastered and textured area for $2000. Done in four days including clean up. Will and have recommended them to everyone that needs help. Excellent work.
