All of the workers were professional and punctual. The work that was done was top notch. We will definitely use Southwest Builders again for remodeling projects.
Description of Work: Southwest Builders tore down a small existing sunroom and installed a much larger, much nicer sunroom (16 X 18) on our house. They extended the roof, poured new footings, and did an excellent job matching the bricks to the existing bricks on the house.

Other than two issues their work was outstanding, especially their finishing carpenter. That guy is top notch! Three years later we have been very satisfied with their work other than the following two issues: 1) third wide drive began crackeling on top of pavement about 1.5 years later. It continues to crumble but they will not do anything. 2) the electric outlet installed on the outside wall of the room addition has never worked. Contacted them about 9 months later once realized this and was told they would send an electrician out. Never happened and contacted them two more times regarding this same issue and nobody ever came. Three years later it is still a dead outlet. We did ask them to come out again in the spring of 2015 for a quote on a potential garage addition. Told the same salesman about the outlet and the drive while he was there and he said he would look into it. We didn't end up doing the garage addition and I have never heard back from him. The salesman was always good to show up quickly when it was time to collect another payment, but not so speedy when you needed something. He seemed to have an attitude at times with me as a customer. Maybe it was just a simple conflict of personalities as the owner who came out and met with my wife really impressed her. Over all we would use them again for their quality of work, but only if we could get the other two issues fixed and deal with a different salesman.
Description of Work: 10'x20' room addition under existing roof with three new walls, converted office into extra bedroom, add door to master bathroom, tear out wood deck at back of house & concrete patio, and pour third wide drive in front of gate next to garage.

I am guessing that the outside outlet may need to be reset. Outside outlets are GFI (ground fault interrupter) circuits and need to be reset each time it rains in some cases, as they are highly sensitive to moisture, humidity, sprinklers, etc. If this is not the case, we can still have an electrician replace the outlet if the customer will call our office and ask for a service call. That way, the request will get to the right people immediately. As for the concrete issue, there is a lot of misunderstanding about the nature of concrete. Most concrete cracks at some stage in its' life, some sooner and some later. There have been many articles written and available that discuss the fact that cracks in concrete are the fault of movement of the soil underneath the concrete, and not the concrete itself. We have been doing custom concrete for 40 years and always use the more expensive rebar, rather than wire mesh that others use, so that the cracking can be controlled to hairline cracks. The purpose of the rebar is hold the concrete together when it cracks, so that it does not vertical displace. Nothing that I know of can prevent concrete from cracking. Over the years, I have discussed this with many engineers including those that work for the major concrete companies. They all tell me the same thing: that no one can guarantee whether or when concrete will crack in any given application.

Our secretary does not show that we had an appointment with this consumer booked through our office and I do not have a record of this lead ever coming in. If one of our estimators did in fact book an appointment with this consumer, I would appreciate a call letting me know the name of that estimator so I can talk to them about this issue. We are known for being punctual with our appointments, so this disturbs me to have this kind of complaint. In my 40 years in the business, this just does not occur unless we cannot make an appointment due to illness, etc., and we ALWAYS advise the customer of those changing circumstances.

I like them. The previous screen room had collapsed after the hailstorm. Their professionalism, service and cleanup was very good. They came out on time and they did not leave a mess. They did a good job, neat. They cleaned it up afterwards. The first time I replaced the screen room I had the other company come and I was not happy with their work. For the hail damage I tried Southwest Builders and I liked them better. It didn't completely destroy the roof so they had to replace that and some of the screens. The price was covered by insurance.

They were great. I had no complains. We had a wind problem right after they finished and they were here the next day. I live in Western Oklahoma and they're out in the city so I was really impressed. They did a good job. It was tidy; they didn't live a big mess. A lot of people come out to do business for us. We owned rental property so we have quite a bit of things off and on all the time.

Overall, it was good. There were a lot of issues with the electric part of it. There was a long period of time that I had to wait for materials but I don't blame that on them and between the time of the estimate and the time of the actual work being performed, there was a great deal of waiting. The actual patio work was performed to my expectations and done timely when the actual materials were there but the electrical work was not timely and then when it was performed, it was substandard work and I've had to have people come back and make repairs because it caused issues with the rest of my electric. The electric company that they contracted out to, I would never hire to do anything again. I would hire Southwest Builders but they would have to find a different electric company.

Response from SOUTHWEST BUILDERS REMODELING
We regret that this customer waited longer than expected. We try to be very straight forward about lead times on materials and our varying backlogs during peak seasons, but sometimes there are misunderstandings. The crew that installed this sunroom has worked for us over 30 years, and we feel the quality work they perform is worth waiting for. It would be easy to hire another crew during peak times, but our approach for 40 years has been that doing the job right is preferable to doing the job fast. That is why at least 40% of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers. To address the electrical issue, our construction agreement called for a certain number of outlets, etc. tied into the existing breaker box, which we did. Sometimes it is necessary for the homeowner to contact their own electrician to upgrade that service if it is inadequate in any way to carry any additional amperage load. We still find many homes inadequate service boxes installed before the advent of all of the modern appliances we have all come to expect and enjoy.

As most people are aware, outside concrete can, and very often will, rise or fall depending on changes in weather and varying soil conditions. Many of this customer's neighbors are experiencing the same thing with concrete on the front of their homes and their sidewalks. It is due to the nature of the soil itself. When weather is dry, soil shrinks, and it expands again with moisture and/or freezing conditions. As always, we put steel rebar down before pouring this concrete. We did not dowel it to the adjoining driveway, as that would assure that it would crack at the dowels. The other concrete we poured for this client is fine, so I assume the developer used more fill dirt, or some other condition occurred, at the front property line of these homes. We did offer to remove the piece of concrete in question at our expense, if the customer so desired. I also sent the customer copies of articles/information from our local paper and national home builder performance quidelines showing that this condition is absolutely normal.
They did a good job. They are very professional. Anytime we've had a problem they were here the next day. We live close to a 100 miles away and they will be here the very next day, so I'll give them a good rating. They are very good.

Thank you for your review. We are always concerned when we hear of these kinds of communication issues. I located our file on this customer and saw where we had sent two different sets of drawings, one based on our design and another based on a design by her father. We developed estimates based on both ideas and left three or four messages attempting to sit down with this customer to go over the estimates and explain the costs and differences of both proposals, and did not hear back from her. Our estimator still had this file on his desk, waiting on a response. Again, we are sorry for any miscommunication that might have occurred between us.

The overall experience was good although it took longer than expected. I had to several times call and ask what was next. We got a surprise after the job started that our electrical service could not be expanded and had to get a new breaker box installed which was an additional cost not planned on. I would rate the quality of work at a B, not all aspects of the job got the same attention to detail as others. Clean up at the end of the job was poor and had to get them to come back and reclean even after I spent several hours cleaning. The construction manager Luke was always professional and got things done. We love our new sunroom and would recommend SW Builders to anyone that wants to build a good sunroom not just a kit like others offer.
Description of Work: Built an approximately 400 square foot addition to my house. This addition has sunroom windows on the front third of the room. This was not a typical sunroom. Others on Angie's List no quoted because it was a room addition not just a sunroom kit on a patio.
They tore out the old (two-tiered) deck and took all the old material away. They had to build a roof as the old deck was not covered, then built the floor and put in screening. One side is a wall with two windows, electrical outlets, etc. All went smoothly and we are still very happy with the porch we got.
Description of Work: Our old wooden deck needed to be replaced, and we wanted it to be a screened-in porch. I had four companies come out to give me an estimate, and the only one I felt comfortable with was Southwest Builders. Their price was a bit higher but we got far more than we thought we could because of their ideas and suggestions.

This claim is totally without merit and I have asked Angie's List to remove it. We never did any work for (deleted member name). Angie's list has been made aware of this fact, and is considering whether this review should be removed. We feel that we have obligations to our customers and the public to be accurate and truthful in all of our dealings, and we believe Angle's List has the same obligation to make sure that all information contained on their website is truthful, or to remove it once it has been proven that it is not. Nothing about this review is true or accurate in any way. We did install a patio cover for (deleted member name)'s mother at a different address, on a home that was built in 1960's. The work was done for her mother in 2010, not 2012 as stated in the review, at a cost of $13K, not 17K, as stated in the review by (deleted member name). Her mother's insurance company tried to pay her $5K for a claim on a damaged patio cover that was built by someone else years ago. We talked to the insurance company on the mother's behalf, and they ended up paying her $13K to get her a much better cover than the one she had. The new cover did not "bust up," but rather was hit by a major hail storm very soon after it was built by us. Many of the homeowners in the mother's neighborhood sustained $30-40K in damages to their homes and cars from this storm and, yes, this cover was damaged by the hail soon after it was installed. However, this was an act of God, covered by insurance, and had nothing to do with the quality of the materials or installation. The mother was given a quotation to replace the acrylic domed skylites in the cover and elected not to have the work done because she didn't want to raise her insurance rates or be cancelled for turning in another claim. I honestly don't know how we could have been anymore accommodating to our customer who, again, was not (deleted member name).

The salesperson, Gary Ballew, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed working with him. After agreeing on what i wanted and signing a contract, I had to wait a couple of months before the work was done. That didn't please me, but it was in line with what Gary had promised, so I can't really complain about that. The installer called the day before coming out to confirm the appointment. He and his assistant showed up on time, they were very courteous and professional, and they did a great job. I am very happy with the quality of the materials and the workmanship.

I was satisfied with their work. The job was okay overall. It was because of the storm and I was only getting one window replaced, I was kind of on the bottom on the list; so it took a while for them to get to me. They did a good job but it just took a little longer than I really wanted to sit with.

We installed a patio cover which dripped at the point of attachment. It was determined that their house roof was the source of the leaks in question, and they had a roofing company re-roof the entire house and flash the patio cover as the result of the new roof being installed. This was not a problem that our patio cover caused. The Better Business Bureau closed their file on this complaint in 2008, saying "You have make a good faith effort to resolve this issue."
