Greg was very polite, punctual, and prompt. He was lovely to meet with and seemed very knowledgable about his work and had ideas of his own to share with us. He was very friendly and I enjoyed meeting him. We ended up going with a different contractor who we felt had a more reasonable budget and idea of our financial idea for the house. I would definitely reccommend Greg to friend and family.

Went well. A few scheduling problems, but I work a ton and long hours.

I called Greg to inquire about redoing my porch. He answered all my questions on the phone and them came out to my home to assess the project. He provided a quote and work list in a very timely manner. My schedule was very hectic at the time. Greg was VERY patient in working with my schedule. The only reason I did not select Greg was the other bid was 5% lower (and same level of work and service). I was very happy with the way he answered all my questions, the details provided in the quote and his professionalism. I would not hesitate to contact him again for a future project.

I sent a message through their website detailing the work that I needed done and requesting an estimate. It took several days to get a response and I was out of town on vacation by then. When I got back into town I replied to the e-mail regarding a time to meet for the quote. I offered to meet over my lunch hour if it needed to be during the day and said that I could be flexible with the time. That was over two weeks ago and never got a response back. Needless to say, I decided to go with a different contract. If someone isn't going to respond promptly while trying to get a quote, I don't have a lot of faith about how the project will go. We are looking for someone who we can work with on several projects and will be reliable.

Contractor was clearly conscientious, but for whatever reason did not quite grasp what we were trying to do when we rebuilt the porch. Nevertheless, I would consider this business for future work.

I would recommend Greg Rogers to anyone looking for a general contractor. After purchasing our first home using a remodel mortgage, we had to fill out countless forms, and Greg had to provide seemingly endless documentation to the bank in order for us to close the loan. However, Greg was gracious and patient with us as we got everything sorted out. Once we could start the work, Greg had wonderful recommendations for suppliers (J&N Cabinetry is wonderful) who took great care of us and helped us find our way in the new world of home renovation. Greg does a lot of the work himself, so when he gives you a time estimate, it's pretty spot on. He's laid back but professional, and works very hard. He sent us email updates and kept a detailed record of everything, so we knew exactly where we stood at the end of the day, financially. And overall, everything went very quickly. The longest wait was on our granite countertop, but that was because the supplier had some backlog. All in all, we started work in early December, and we were done by mid January. Not bad for a kitchen remodel! Everything turned out wonderfully--our kitchen is just what we wanted, and we came in under budget thanks to everyone's willingness to keep us in the correct price range! The hardwood floors are beautiful and the bathroom floor was just what we needed to tone down a colorful bathroom. We can't thank Greg enough for his kindness and flexibility, and we are incredibly happy with the work he did. You'll love working with Greg!

Working with Greg was a great experience. I was very happy with how the house turned out. He exceeded my expectations.

They were knowledgable and competitive in price.

Wonderful! Greg was very nice to work with. Communication, work, & cleanup were top-notch leaving us with a beautiful new look to the front of our home.

Overall it went very well. The Builders (Greg) took time to understand our needs and constraints (budget and time). He provided good estimates of both time and cost and advised when changes or requests to the original plan would result in a shift in the either the time or budget estimate. He was also open to us (home owner) doing some of the work to help cut costs. Routinely touched based to provide updates and next steps and was available to discuss any issue or concerns before and during the process. The outcome of the project was great, his work and the recommmendations for other contractor help turn our outdated kitchen into a great place to hang out. Quality of the work wasgreat as well as the price and time to complete. Also served as a good intermediary when other companies to provide additional knowledge.

He lives right here in Norwood. We looked at his past job experiences and price, and that is what made us decide to go with him. He was great! I would recommend him not only for kitchen remodeling but other remodeling as well. We have asked him for advice on our deck since we just bought a hot tub. We asked his advice on the stability of the deck even though he didn't originally build it. We could ask him about anything and he would know. It is great to feel that stability with someone. He was here everyday. He was clean, whereas other contractors are sloppy and don't do a complete job. I have a dog and he was nice to him.

We got a number of bids, and they came in the middle. Overall, they did a pretty good job. However, they didn't clean up on a regular basis, which was very frustrating. They also cut corners on some of the work at the very end. I'm not sure that I would use them again, but you get what you pay for. A lot of the job was very rough, which I didn't like.

The best thing I can say is that the owner or the company Greg Rogers is exceedingly polite and very hardworking. He offered solutions to problems that came up. On the other side we think that we caught him in the middle of the very hot summer and there were some long faces in between some waiting time there that we hoped that things would be a little sooner, but really that was rather minor compared to the really solid job that they did. He is a really fine human being and he was always willing to discuss the timing and also apologized for some of the delay. Some of the delay was the result of a sub-contractor roofer who had some problems getting back in a timely fashion. Everything got ruffed up nicely and the roofer did a nice job and I think it was a pretty positive experience.

We have worked with Greg and The Builders before and have always been pleased with their work and their prices. We had obtained estimates from larger carpentry shops for the same job and been turned away by the high price. One shop had quoted a price for just the large set of wall shelves that was higher than The Builders price for all 5 things they completed. We like to do our own painting and our experience is The Builders will work with you to allow you to complete whatever portion of the job you wish to cut down on expenses. The Builders provides thorough job proposals and estimates. We had a few days of miscommunication when we thought Greg was supposed to show up and he didn't come but these were easily cleared up and he is reachable and returns calls fairly promptly. He also communicates by email. He does sometimes have several jobs going on simultaneously and he budgets time as the various projects require/progress. It took several weeks to completely finish our job with Greg coming some days for a short time and other days being here all day. We did not mind this as we believe he does quality work. Our kitchen was being remodeled at the same time he was here so everything was disrupted anyway. Greg does most of the work himself but has a brother who does electrical. We appreciate the personal service we have received from Greg and The Builders. While we have used The Builders for smaller jobs involving individual rooms in our house they are able to do any kind of remodeling work no matter what the scale or scope. We have recommended this company to several friends who have seen our projects.

We haven't pursued it beyond the estimate. They were very professional, courteous and it was a very pleasant experience. I think they are on the expensive side.

He does quality work at a very reasonable price.

He was just great and he did a wonderful job. I called him and he called me right back. He came and gave me a really detailed estimate right away, and I liked that. He understood my time constraints. He came on time everyday and left on time everyday. He cleaned up immaculately everyday. He was working in the master bathroom in my bedroom, and it was neat as a pin. He is a nice man, and I can?t say enough good things about him. He worked with me. He knew that I was trying to save money. I went and got the things that I could afford, and he actually went and picked them up. I would rate him highly and would use him in the future.

Greg and his brother Gary did almost all of the work themselves. They built the foundation, put up walls and ceiling, added insulation and put up all the drywall and molding. They did have a roofer put on shingles and an electrician finish the can lighting. Greg moved our existing sliding glass door from what used to be our back wall and and installed it in the new addition so that it would open out onto our deck. He built a small closet for us in the room and snaked the wires from the dvd player (in the closet) through the wall so that we could connect them to the TV, which we hung on the wall. Gary dug a trench from our addition in the backyard out to the street and installed a drainage pipe.

Greg was impressive by providing a thorough proposal detailing the Framing, insulation, electrical, drywall, doors, trim, flooring and bath. Included was an $800 allowance for the bath and $2200 for the flooring. They said it would take about 4 weeks but it did not take that long. They began work on March 3, 2008, shortly after I agreed to the contract. When they came they worked hard so that results could be seen as they went along. All workers were polite and professional. The job was finished on March 25th, and that did not include working daily on my place. The end result was that you could not see where the door and wall had been. Overall, the job was done well.

Greg Rogers was a blessing to work with. I was afraid when my husband and I embarked on this remodeling that our troubles would be with the contractor and not the kitchen designer/cabinet order. To our delight, he was very good to work with and I am happy that was the case since it is him we deal with on a daily basis and is in our house. From all the contractor estimates we got, Mr. Roger's estimate was the only one that detailed/spelled out room by the room the work to be done and the associated cost. Any changes or alterations that came after were communicated via email and signed off on if it affected the bottom line. Furthermore Mr. Rogers was more than patient when the cabinet order got delayed 8 weeks beyond the estimated delivery date and all the order mistakes. He kept calling and checking on the order status so he could come and finish his work. I would recommend him in a heartbeat and we still have some work and will surely contact him in the near future.

Greg Rogers did a terrific job. He actually worked with us in order to save us money. He ALWAYS cleans up after the job. He is a carpenter and does accurate and aesthetic work. We plan on using him again.

GREG ROGERS' COMPANY, THE BUILDERS, WAS THE FIRST REFERRAL NAME WE USED AFTER JOINING ANGIE'S LIST. MR. ROGERS MADE HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS AND SAVED US MONEY BY SIMPLIFYING OUR DESIGN. HE WAS POLITE AND VERY PROMPT AT RETURNING CALLS AND HIS WORKMANSHIP WAS EXCELLENT. HE WAS EXTREMELY CAREFUL ABOUT DUST AND MESS. WE DID PURCHASE OUR OWN DOOR, SHUTTERS AND FANS SO THE AMOUNT PAID DOES NOT REFLECT THIS COST TO US. GREG ROGERS WAS QUITE WILLING TO WORK WITH US TO CUT COSTS, ALLOWING MY HUSBAND TO DO MUCH OF THE PAINTING AND FINISH WORK. WE WERE SO PLEASED WITH THE BUILDERS AND THE 3 PROJECTS THEY COMPLETED THAT WE SENT GREG A $100 TIP.

GREG ROGERS (THE OWNER) WAS VERY POLITE, PUNCTUAL AND PROFESSIONAL. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH HIM AND WOULD USE HIM AGAIN FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.
