Excellent experience and work. Even though they encountered difficulties in cleaning the drains the quoted price did not change. Very professional, provided advice on slate and tile work we need done and will return next week to do that work. They will be the first people I call when I need work done on our home.

Response from UNGER CONSTRUCTION LLC
I love these kind of reviews! As a small business in Eugene and not a large firm with expensive estimators/salespeople its me that does it all. Because people appreciate me being hands on their project and NOT some firm that comes in and sends a crew of misfits to work on their home! Its pretty hard to be a small businesses here in Eugene trying to provide the best service for someone who has hired you and answer every phone call while swinging a hammer or running a power tool. They have hired me to work on their home or small business and NOT come over and talk on my phone every five minutes. The voice mail states that we have very few openings few new customers. And nearly every day I get lots of calls from companies trying to sell me health insurance, websites and other useless time killing calls that don't help me be efficient with working for folks that have hired me based on my quality of work. I return EVERY VOICEMAIL IF SOMEONE LEAVES ONE whether I can or can't go and personally look at their projects. 98% of them time I return the call the same day most often in less then an hour. The person who said this review didn't even give me a chance to speak with them about her project! Its kind of rough to judge a small contractor that has tons and tons of great reviews from many members by not even talking with me personally and just clicking on a failing grade and not base it on the quality of my work. As you can see by filtering my reviews by only the work completed I have nothing short of high marks. It saddens me that I can't make everyone happy especially when the rush to judge a small business

They are very reliable and would recommend them. They had helped me do a couple of things at my daughters house which was spur of the moment and that is when I thought that I would call them again if I ever need something done. They did an amazing job and will be coming back to do more work. They are clean and neat. I can trust them because if they know how to do it then they will do it and if they don't know how to do it then they won't do it; I like this about them.
Description of Work: I have been using Unger Construction LLC from the last 20 years. During their last visit they moved the hanging shelf because some of it was outside and some of it was inside; they took it down moved it to a new place. They sealed my kitchen counters as well.

JC Unger responded quickly and went out to look at the damage. He began to secure the building as soon as we had completed the required paperwork, which we did via email in order to speed things up because of my safety concerns. He had the power off and the building secured in a few days. The tenants were then able to take advantage of a dry weekend and move their vehicles and belongings out and away from the barn. JC then went to work cutting the branches off the tree and demolishing the structure. He did this in a remarkable fast time, considering that the weather had deteriorated again, and the barn was at the bottom of a steep and muddy hill. One discovery he made during the demolition was that a previous owner had tapped into the 220 line that ran to the well pump and had improvised wiring to the barn. The conduit he used was a garden hose. JC was able to track this unexpected electrical wiring back to the circuit breakers on the pole, and disconnect it. Unfortunately, the circuit breakers were not well installed nor new, so the power to the well pump decreased, which caused it to stop working. This all happened at the end of a long day, but JC did not clock out and go home for the night. He took the time to drop off his worker and went and got a replacement circuit breaker. He then went back out to the farm and in the dark he installed the new breaker so that the tenants would have the water they needed (with two teenagers in the house, they did need the water running). This selfless action was a step above and beyond in my opinion, and why I so highly recommend JC Unger. Like I said previously, he could have just called it a night and headed home, but he took the time to take care of another person's need. The rest of the demolition went smoothly with no more surprises and was done quickly. I will be hiring JC Unger again as soon as the ground dries out a bit. I want him to build the replacement building and to grade and gravel the drive. If you need someone who does a good job and is conscientious, then I highly recommend Unger Construction. You won't find any better!
Description of Work: We have a rental property on 12 acres near Creswell Oregon. We had a large Douglas Fir fall during a storm at the end of March, and it landed on the large two story metal barn, breaking the main support beam. Initially, we needed to have the building supported so that the insurance adjusters (both ours and the tenant's) could assess the damage. The tenant's also needed a safe environment in order to remove their items from the barn. So the first step was stabilization and cutting off the electrical power, the second step was the complete removal of the structure.

I love Unger Construction. J.C. is awesome. I've used him several times. He does a lot of different things. I've seen pictures of work he's done for other people, like houses he's built and he does everything. I trust him. He's really helpful and he points out things. I just really like him. He's well worth the money because you can trust him with your property. I would trust him for any work in the house you need done. He shows up on time. He's knowledgeable. He has everything you need. He's experienced. He's just a great guy.
Description of Work: He cleaned all the moss off the roof and all the moss off the driveway, cleaned all the gutters and the decks. It's a country property, so it's a really long driveway that he cleaned.

Our home has some unorthodox architectural areas that were causing leaks near some 2nd story windows. I contacted Unger Construction to give me an estimate on repairing this. JC Unger promptly returned my calls, and was very professional. He arrived at our home and spent an impressive amount of time carefully inspecting the roof and the adjacent outside wall and window around the leak area. JC put more attention and care into his inspection than the other 3 contractors who looked at the problem. In the end, he offered three different remedies for the problem by order of cost and complexity. His approach was very practical and honest, and he explained that the problem could likely be fixed by a simple roofing job, rather than a full blown construction job. (One contractor was recommending replacing the windows, rebuilding the wall, and re-roofing to the tune of $30k). We had the house re-roofed (it needed it) and gave the roofers the specific flashing recommendations JC suggested. We're a couple months into winter and there have been no leaks. We're considering it fixed. I trust and would strongly recommend Unger Construction for home repairs, repair estimates, and evaluations.

He was very helpful on the phone.
Description of Work: I was looking for someone to complete a job that did not get completed by a previous contractor. Mr.Unger returned my call and told me that he was booked with jobs until the new year but he still took time to enquire about my job. He then proceeded to spend 20 minutes talking to me about my possible options and gave me advice about how to proceed. I would call him back for any future jobs, he seemed professional and I appreciated his willingness to help.

Met with Mr. Unger and explained the projects that we wanted done. We was informative and helpful and had done similar projects in the past. Asked for a bid on two of the projects -- bids submitted were incomplete and a timeline could not be established for the work to be done. Mr. Unger bowed out of the project due to a personal commitment and a heavy work schedule.

He was very helpful. He told me I could do it and I was really able to do it myself. He even called back to see how it worked out for me. I really appreciate it. I am going to use them if I need to have something done that I cannot do myself.
Description of Work: I consulted Unger Construction LLC when I had a project that was needed to be done. He came out to do a free estimate. He walked me through it so I can do it myself and I would not have to pay for anything. I installed a fan in my shower but it was a little bit difficult because of the base and I also had to put a vent to the roof.

We live in California and have family in Oregon. The paint on their kitchen ceiling around the light fixture had begun to peal. A kind neighbor went on the roof to take a look and found moss growing there, which he pulled off. After that, the pealing grew much more, so we called a few local roofing companies to assess the situation and offer estimates. Their analyses all varied about how much work was necessary (some even wanting to redo the 7-year-old roof). We had a final roofer scheduled to take a look, but we canceled that appointment after we received JC's feedback. He noticed that there was no leak from the roof at all (just evidence of an obviously older leak). He observed that the pealing paint was likely due to improper priming (between two different kinds of paint bases) before the house was bought 7 years ago. This made sense to us and saved us thousands in re-roofing costs. We didn't have the funds to repaint at the time, but we would call JC to do the work without hesitation when we can.

I attempted to find quotes for the repairs to recent damage on my own and quickly became frustrated. I found Mr. Unger on Angie's List, made an appointment, and he responded as quickly as promised. He assessed damage, made several suggestions, and then followed up with competitive quotes. He is professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and has a great sense of humor. He performed a thorough assessment of the contracted roof replacement and had to call them back to fix a few minor errors. He made sure things were clean and back to normal condition when all work was complete. There were things I would not have recognized and suspect that might not have been corrected as quickly if I had been handling the project on my own. This is not to say I was unhappy with our roofing company, I am just very grateful for all of Mr. Unger's expertise, hard work, and attention to detail. I appreciate his honesty, desire to go the extra mile for the client, and also his candor when discussing requested repairs or updates that were not cost effective. His work, knowledge, and experience as a repairman/contractor are far above and beyond satisfactory. I will continue to call Mr. Unger for all repairs and remodeling projects. I highly recommend him.

As usual, when working with J.C. Unger, everything went very well. He was quick to give me an estimate. I agreed to the price and he ordered the windows. As soon as they came in, he and his father took out the old windows and put in the new ones. The windows had to be ordered and his measurements were perfect. The work was done on time and he was careful to patch up the paint that needed it. He is always neat and considerate and a pleasure to have around. The large living room window came from the factory with a chip at the very top which could not be seen. This chip developed into a large crack. J. C, immediately contacted the manufacturer and worked with them to replace the window which was done shortly. The day that the window was replaced, J.C. came by to make sure it was going well and to help if need be. You can always count on J.C. Unger.
Description of Work: My house had the old, original aluminum windows. All the windows were replaced with high quality vinyl windows.

The job went well, it did take a little longer than the estimated time but it was also extra work to make both doors fit. Very happy with the finished project
Description of Work: I called JC for an estimate on replacing our front door and door from the garage to the kitchen. He came out - gave an estimate and also looked at our bathroom for a possible remodel. He came back and replaced the two doors, installed the hardware and hung new trim in the interior. The results are fantastic! The doors open and close great and he really took the time to get everything as perfect as you can in an old house. He even touched up a door we had installed, he went the extra mile for us and will definitely be calling him for our bathroom remodel. The prices seemed reasonable and especially the quality. I would recommend him to anyone.

He was thinking outside the box. He asked me questions. He was very helpful and tried to find out what could have caused damage to my roof. He was thorough. I would use him in the future.
Description of Work: I used Unger Construction LLC on 6th October for an estimate. He quoted $1600 for replacing sheet rocks, replacing insulation, texturing ceiling and painting, cleaning, and things like that.
We phoned him in September and arranged to meet at the house we were purchasing to discuss the project and get an estimate. A Realtor had to let us in since the house was not yet closed. He surveyed the project, took measurements, discussed options and then sent us a bid. We accepted and gave him a deposit. We agreed that he would do the work after closing while we were out of state for a week. Since we were away, we did not witness any work ourselves but the end result was great. We met after we returned and were extremely pleased with the result. We paid the balance of the bill at that time. We discussed several things he had noticed about the house which may result in future work. He is a very meticulous and thorough contractor.
Description of Work: Removed popcorn texture on ceilings. Applied new skip trowel texture. Primed and painted ceilings to match wall color. Installed new towel rods and hooks in bathrooms. Fixed the access ladder to attic. He placed plastic on the floors throughout the house to protect it from the dust created by scraping the ceilings. Put plywood down on the wood floors to protect them from damage. Completely cleaned the house after the project.
