Services we don't offer
The only work we currently sub out is electrical and plumbing work. We have worked with our electrician and plumber for several years now and have a great business relationship with them which helps ensure that we are able to receive the best pricing possible.
While they did a good job and the quality of their work was also good, the work took way too long and the pricing was higher than initially quoted by over 50%.

Only onsite 4 times at most. 2 times were pre-contract or bidding. The last was Demolition. I think the plumber was a sub contractor but do not know for sure. There was no inspections, final or otherwise. I did have issues and made call and emails. Call for the most part went unanswered or unacknowledged. The office staff gave us our own address for meeting location. They were only going to remove the counter tops and not the counters for demo. Flooring was not removed prior to cabinet install. original schedule was about 14 days. It took 72. Had to pay extra to have work I requested as part of the original bid completed. Most of this was due to not ordering material needed on day 1. 3 weeks without even temporary counter tops. It is done and looks good now, but the sub-contractors did all the work from what I can tell.

We are glad you are happy with the final product and apologize that the timeline of the project did not go as originally planned. We do sub contract out the plumbing, and partner with a cabinet and counter top company. We are a general contractor and are very careful with our sub contractor selection so do apologize that this project did not go as smoothly as we both expected. We have discussed your feedback both internally and with our subs to ensure we continue to re-evaluate our processes as we strive for perfection.

The first time I used Trail Blazing Corp for replacement of window trim and fascia boards I was happy with their professionalism and work. This time it was a completely different experience. Tyler came out and we carefully went over all the things I needed done. He was very personable and professional and said "no problem" and even provided suggestions on how to do certain aspects of the job. He said he'd get back to me with a quote in a few days. A week later no word, so I emailed to see if they had a quote and I got a brief email response saying the work would be charged as time and materials and would be put on their "fill list." I asked if they could give me an estimate (instead of giving them a blank check) and I got a 4 word response saying it would be $1,200. No written bid. I got the feeling they wanted me to go away (and I should have). I told them I wanted to go ahead with the work. No response. I called a week later to see if they could tell me when I could be squeezed into the schedule and suddenly they sprung into action and said they could do it tomorrow and asked what it was I needed done so they could cobble together a written bid for me to sign. (So clearly, they were blowing me off before I called to follow up) I told them Tyler knew it all because we had gone over it together. They provided a written bid that provided a very basic description of the areas that needed work. I signed it and they came out and did the work. I then received an invoice for $700 over the bid, listing most of the work as "extras." I called Tyler and he didn't remember going over the work (apparently didn't take notes) and claimed it was more than what we had agreed upon, though the bid listed all the areas that needed work. He tried to tell me the two window trim replacements cost $1,200. Really? Needless to say, in the future I would not accept a sloppy description of the work on the bid. I won't use them again.
Description of Work: Replace window trim, add trim to patio door, build frame for mounting screen door.

We had informed [Member Name Removed] that our schedule was booked out till late November and that we could not fit her in right away. She was very persistent and since she was a previous customer we wanted to assist with her project. We informed her that the job would be done based on time and material, and we moved our schedule around to fit her in. At no point did she ever mention or express that she was unhappy with the work done. What isn't mentioned in her comment, is that there was a discrepancy with her final invoice and it was taken care of right away.

Had a 9 am appointment with Sean for an estimate. No one showed. Called three times. No answer. Waited until 11 am. This is not my residence so I had planned my morning to be available. Our family owns four homes. This company will not be asked to bid on any of them.

I contacted them. The owner came out and assessed the situation and said that it would be easy, about a day worth of work and that he would respond to me with a quote by the middle of the next week. Several weeks later I still have never heard from anyone from this business. I took off work early to accommodate them and meet them for the assessment. Apparently it was a waste of my time.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry about that. Yes, sometimes a bid slips through the cracks. If you would have called I would have been happy to remind my estimator and we would have gotten the bid right out to you.
I contacted Trail Blazing this last September for a bid. They were prompt and honest with me about our wishes. We decided to use their service. They installed a brand new 40'x16' patio covering, completely remodeled our kitchen, living room and bathroom from the ground up. Walls were removed, new cabinets, counter tops, floors, windows, doors were all installed. Sean, the builder, was an absolute God Send! Sean's work is very custom. He kept me in the loop during the whole process. Sean does absolutely BEAUTIFUL work. Tyler (the owner) made sure the entire process was smooth. Lauren was so quick to respond and ensured I was a part of every process and decision. We will have Trail Blazing back again and they are already going to start work in our family's home. We would 100% recommend them.

Trail blazing just completed our Kitchen Remodel and I cannot say enough good things about these guys! 1) Their communication is amazing! They replied to all my emails and calls within the hour the majority of the time 2) Every single person they had come out to my house was friendly, professional and listened to what I wanted 3) Their coordination with the electrician, cabinet and counter top companies was also great! I would 100% recommend Trail Blazing Corporation to anyone!

They came out originally in summer 2018 . I told them there was several projects so , the gentleman said he would number them in order so 1 was half wall 2 living room floor 3 outside stairs etc. I received an estimate for the outside stairs first and my husband just said no because he was still deciding what he wanted them made out of , so I notified them that work we were not going to do yet it wasn't our first project, then they sent estimate for living room floor, I responded by asking for the half wall estimate. I received no response then Jan 17 2019 I contacted them and they said the person handling the estimate no longer worked for them and they would need to come out again.( by the way they also said this to a person in 2017 review) they came out again and I told them the half wall and living room for sure and if you want to bid the kitchen we would like it all done by same person and I was told they could do it for less then previous bid I had received from another company, when he left I was suppose to wait for a call from his kitchen guy to make an apt to see my kitchen and get spec. A couple weeks go by no call, no email so I contacted them today and was told they were not going to do the job, with no reason why. I would have had them do the wall and living room last aug. then they come out again, I said we were defiantly doing half wall and living room, the kitchen was more then likely also going to be done by them, I was waiting on them to know if the cost would mean we needed to get a loan or not. They wasted my time on something that could have been done months ago and why come out if in a couple weeks your going to say you're not doing the job with no reason, if they got a bigger job fine tell me.

To everyone reading this lovely post, As she wrote, this wasn't the first time we went out there. When we wen't out again, nothing had changed in her scope of work and she already wasn't accepting the bids we already gave her. As a company, we have the right to determine if a customer is a good fit for us or not. She was not. If you've noticed the only people that give us F's are the people we chose not to work with.

They were able to fit me into their schedule in a short time. The team of guys were amazing! They assessed the problems with the deck, and got right to work. They discussed all progress with me, showing me exactly what they were doing and what was needed. Best of all - they were creative about designing and building a unique 'privacy fence.' I never would have thought of using the design they came up but I absolutely love it!! The final touch was the beautiful railing. I can't say enough good things about this company.

They guys did a great job with following my requirements. The only exception was the electrician, who did not place outlets where they were needed and didn't wire the light fixture right. HOWEVER, CJ and crew had them correct it quickly and made it right. My rating reflects the electrician not Trail Blazing. I would definitely use them again!

Scheduling was very easy, and communication about the billing process and fees were clearly explained. I appreciated the concern for safety for their workers, when indicating two people would be needed to address the second story windows. The workers arrived on time and were very professonal and courteous. Workers proceeded with the work straight away and were careful to protect surfaces and areas as they worked. Updates to work progress were given as needed, along with welcome suggestions and explanations of the work being performed. Upon completion I asked about the billing process, and was given a good explanation. The invoice came via email within a day after the work was completed. We would gladly hire this company again.

Travis and team are amazing! From the first day I was impressed by the professionalism and "do the right thing" approach. They have taken care of two major projects, were timely and efficient, and I can not be more pleased with the results. First project involved repairing water intrusion damage to corner of house. All work was exceptional and I can sleep easy knowing my house is secure and dry. Second project was painting the exterior. They matched my previous colors perfectly and the house now shines! Travis, Lauren and team are the real deal who I trust with all my future home repair needs.

I am very pleased with the end result. They did what I wanting to be done: raised our sunken living room floor to match the height of the rest of the house and reused the laminate flooring (which was like new). They built and installed custom cabinets and shelves (entertainment center) in the living room. Every guy that did work on the project was professional, kind and worked hard and they cleaned up after themselves every day. It was a learning experience for me though. There was misunderstanding on some final details of the cabinets and some problems with materials so the project took over a week longer than originally estimated and cost more, most of which were additions to the original bid, so the cost my fault. But the unexpected time it took to finish is really my only complaint, since the additions I chose only added a couple of hours of extra work. But they worked hard to make me feel satisfied and I am pleased with the final product. I would hire them again. The picture I submitted is mostly a final product. The cabinet doors still need to be painted and knobs put on, but you can at least see the craftsmanship.

AMAZING service and professionalism! We were in a pinch needing to quickly get some minor re-caulking work completed on our home that had a pending sale that was scheduled to close the end of the week. I called a few places but got recordings so kept dialing since we needed work within 5 days. I was so happy not only to reach Lauren directly but impressed she actually had a tech that could come out within a couple days. I emailed a few pics of the work needing to be done just to confirm tech knew what to expect and she promptly responded and confirmed. Although tech was to meet my husband around noon, she called to say he could come earlier if it worked with our schedules (it did!) and even called 1/2 hour ahead to confirm meeting time. Work was done quickly and professionally (and affordably!) and she emailed the invoice so we could prove work was done & we closed on time! I wish all handymen services were run so professionally - Trail Blazer knows how to do it! We will definitely be calling them again and would highly recommend to anyone!

I LOVE Trail Blazing, and have been using them for over five years. The ownership has changed during that time and I was worried that I would lose the amazing service that I had always received, but they continue to provide amazing service/work. Communications is exceptional and efficient, they always respond right away! They can usually fit small jobs in fairly quickly and I'm grateful I can always count on consistent performance. I would highly recommend them!

I began seeking bids to correct the siding and dry rot problems back in June 2017 and of about 4 contractors I had look at the property, Trail Blazing was the only one that followed through with giving the bids timely. Then in September/October of 2017 the work was scheduled to begin on January 2, 2018 and they started on time (very reliable). Our rental home was built in the 50's and during the job of replacing the siding they encountered dry rot. Trail Blazing made sure that any problems they encountered were brought to my attention and then went about correcting the problem. I gave them an "A" for price not because they were the cheapest but because I felt that the level of expertise provided was priced fairly. Top notch company that I would recommend to anyone.
Description of Work: Removed vinyl siding and installed Hardie plank siding. In addition removed dry rot from our laundry room and did various drywall work throughout our rental house.
