"Daniel and Raul did a fantastic job installing the gazebo we purchased from Costco. We were so pleased with their work that we hired Wades services to replace a post and install a gate in our back fence. We would not hesitate to hire them again."

"After interviewing 8 contractors, Dorson Jackson was the obvious choice for our major project/home remodel, touching on every room in the house. From the very start, Dorson has been responsive & communicative, something rare and incredibly appreciated. He's not just a contractor, he's a businessman and understands the entirety of taking on a huge project for us. He dedicated an extraordinary amount of time for his bidding process, breaking the house down into zones, and then listing every single change, plus parts and labor fees for the changes, in every zone. Every other contractor gave us a one or two page bid with very few details. Dorson's proposal was a detailed 17 page document. He is EXTREMELY organized and we were super impressed with the effort he put into bidding the project. We have since hired Dorson Construction and he and his team have begun demolition. He also sent photos to us of every room in the house after demolition so we could see what he had done, what issues were found that he had prepared for as possibilities in his bid, and comments on each photo explaining what he saw after demo. Because we are not living locally, having someone we can trust with our home from far away is of the utmost importance. Dorson recently brought his son on board and we have been equally impressed with his follow up and thoroughness. In addition, Dorson has gone out of his way to help us with our permitting process, which is not part of his job and was only necessary due to failure of a third party. I can't wait to see the beauty and function he creates for us in our home to be! (Review will be updated upon project completion.) Thank you Dorson!"

"Over two months to get house plans. Communication was dismal and the majority of my phone calls and emails were ignored. After I put down my initial deposit. I was ignored for so many weeks, I was beginning to think the company was fake. Draftsman never asked a single question. Not a good look when each round of revisions are charged by the number of changes. My final payment was requested before receiving house plans. Payment was sent and plans were immediately provided despite never having discussed or seen electrical and plumbing, etc. There was an error on the final plans and it took an act of Congress to get it changed. To be fair the final product was excellent but the ulcers I developed over this whole process would make me rethink using Evolution."

"The Christmas tree looks really good. Looking forward to enjoying it throughout the holiday season."

"This is an outline of issues we had: Clarity At our first meeting, Jason Schrader stated that the cabinets would be constructed and installed onsite, therefore saving time. He told us that cabinets could be constructed and installed in one week. The fact is that cabinets were not constructed onsite – only the boxes. Communication We had no idea when crews might show up at our job unless I texted to ask first. Clear start and end times and completion dates were never given. Crews were often late or never showed up at all on days we were told to expect them. Crews always told us we had to ask Jason about any scheduling, progress, material issues or plans. He was frequently unavailable to ask. Pace of work Crews were mostly on-site for less than 2 hours at a time. In over four months, OSI was unable to construct cabinets for our small kitchen (approximately 600 square feet). Furthermore, we made the house accessible every working day at the expense of our own schedule. The cabinet boxes were on the walls for several weeks, during which time stain and seal could have been applied. Had the boxes been stained and sealed before the countertop/backsplash and flooring were installed, then OSI crew would not have had to use a whole extra day to tape and cover everything before staining and sealing. Honesty We were presented with a bill for an additional $1200 for the ceiling work. At the time we discussed this work, Jason did not provide a change order or any paperwork to justify the additional expense. He also promised to finish the job at least six times that we have documented in texts to us. It is obvious that OSI never intended to meet those deadlines, nor even did any work on our cabinets during those weeks, as Jason wrote he was doing in the texts.He also constantly contradicted his own words, texts and promises, which leads us to believe that he has a tenuous connection with the concept of truth. Professionalism Old School Interiors took advantage of our goodwill to delay and extend this job far beyond a reasonable timeframe. Jason made it clear in his text of August 16 that we should be grateful that crews showed up at all, when we paid for a job that should have been done in a timely manner. Jason Schrader failed to uphold an appropriate client to professional relationship and demanded that we follow decorum while at the same time disregarding our feelings of frustration and even going so far as to upbraid me for completely understandable dismay at the endless delays. He also used the excuse of taking offense at my words to abandon the jobsite for over three weeks. ‘Taking offense’ is not a valid reason to abandon a job, as well as a flimsy and thin-skinned excuse to delay doing contracted work. Attitude Jason Schrader was hostile to other contractors, especially our countertop/backsplash estimator, to the point that the contractor asked to return later when Jason was not on site. Jason sent inappropriate emails to my personal account and called me at home after working hours to demand I discuss a review I posted. His attitude has generally been one of petulance, arrogance and immaturity. Integrity It has been clear to us since early in the job that we are not a high priority for OSI. Although we were told initially that our job would be done quickly, this promise was completely abandoned and each time we asked for an update, we were given long lists of excuses. The reality is that this remodel is important to us and we are your clients. Every client should be treated with respect. We were not. Several emails we sent to Old School Interiors went unanswered. We tried several times to obtain updates and firm dates, and these requests were not answered. The dates OSI did give us were fictitious. Ultimately, OSI couldn’t even finish the job. Every other company we worked with during the remodel communicated clearly, gave us firm dates, showed up and performed their work quickly, efficiently, and well. The situation we encountered with Old School Interiors falls far below the standard of good business practices."

"Excellent work. Matt kept me informed about everything and all work was done in timely matter. I could not be more pleased with the outcome."
