Terra Firma Construction

Beautifully! I left a dull home, went to a work conference for a week, came back to a stunning new entryway, kitchen and office area. Love it!

First the company they used to deliver the materials to do the job had very large trucks that backed up and over my curb and broke it into tiny pieces, and never fixed it. Also broke my driveway in many places, and I was promised they would reseal it in the spring, I am still waiting after many calls to James to have it done. There is a large tree in my back yard next to where the garage was built, and LOTS OF ROOTS were dug up with the hole for the foundation. When they come out in the spring (after many calls to do so) to level the mounds of dirt and plant grass seed and remove the roots laying on the ground and sticking out of the ground, it was done, but a p***-poor job. The ground is not level AT ALL. The dirt was just raked around, there is rocks from being blown from the truck, all over the side of the driveway, and all over the back yard. The grass seed was barely put down, with even less hay on top of it with the roots left laying and sticking (still attached) out of the ground. When they mixed the morter for the foundation, it was spilled all over the yard and was not cleaned up ether. The side of the garage 3 foot from the fence wasn't even touched. Some of the 2x4s that was used to build the garage have splits in them. The small entrance door was not installed right and when the door handle and lock was put in the door jamb it all tore up. The approach pad from the garage to the existing driveway started to crack on each side of the garage door (about a foot and a half), it took about 3 weeks before someone came to fix it. No one called to let me know they were coming, and I wasn't here to see it done because it's A MESS!!! The cracks are sealed up with some kind of putty, it looks like crap, and some kind of sealant was dribbled all over the whole approach pad. It looks like some spilled oil all over it!!! After all of that when James came to collect the final payment of $500.00, he gave me a bill for $2307.80, saying he didn't account for the concrete for the 10ft approach pad. I gave him $800.00 because he put in a step outside the walk-in door. He then said he would except payments for the rest of the bill. After I had my brother in law came over and looked at it, and looked at the contract again we decided it was paid in full and I called him to tell him so, but he still believes I owe him money.

We loved, loved, loved working with this company! They were amazing! T.J. was very punctual and helpful. He answered all of our questions and was fun to work with. He dealt with our insurance company and was able to get several upgrades on materials. The quality of work was fantastic. We can't say enough great things about this company. We will definitely be using them again for other home improvement projects.
