I live just down the street from Rob and I had a simple task I asked completed of caulking in the shower. Whether his work was faulty or the product was faulty I don't know, but three times it didn't work. I try not to make assumptions about people. All our conversations have been via text, so I have a full written accounting of what happened. After the last time did not work, he offered to redo it once more or provide a refund and I immediately replied back that I would accept the refund and wish him well. He was going through some family health issues so I didn't press it and I waited to hear from him. Instead of honoring my wish to move forward with the refund he offered, in writing, and I accepted in writing, he tried to schedule a time to redo it. He then says he didn't mean to offer a refund and he refuses to honor it now. He told me I should just file a complaint and "try to ruin his reputation". Just another reason why it's best not to involve neighbors in professional endeavors. I'm sad it turned out this way.

Response from Mt. Tabor Construction
I am a 63 year old Remodel Contractor with 40 years experience and 130 five star reviews online. On September 2018, the client bought a quick flip house a few doors down. I know it was a flip because I had worked with the previous owner for years and was told it was sold to “investors” . I witnessed the quick turn around time before it was sold to client. On April 2022, client contracted me to replace the shower surround caulk that he said had been in bad shape for a long time, implying it had failed not long after it was installed. A few weeks after my work, I was told that the caulk was not adhering. I replaced it with a different adhesive caulk at no charge and told the client that if this fails then there is moisture in the walls behind the shower surround. A year later on March 2023 I was contacted about the same issue. Again, I told the client there was moisture in the walls but redid everything at no charge because he was my neighbor. Another year later on March 2024, the client contacted me again about the same issue. For the third time I told him that he had moisture behind the shower walls but made plans to redo for the fourth time, once I returned from caring for my 93 year old mother in California. Instead the client hired someone else and then demanded a refund. In less than six years, the caulk has failed four times. It is not my workmanship but a cheap shower surround, poorly installed by inexperienced flippers. If anyone reading this has any questions about this job, please contact me.

Rob is excellent at what he does, and what he cannot he will let you know instead of "figuring it out". His quote was one of the lower estimates, and you get high quality ethics. Even with all the challenges along the job the final result was exactly as expected, provided with full integrity. We'll definitely hire him for future/ other jobs. It feels like he takes pride in his work to be done right and not just a job to get done quick, to move to next one.
Description of Work: We hired him to install a dishwasher and replace kitchen sink. Had to cut existing cabinet to retro fit the dishwasher and he made it look like it has always belonged there.

Excellent job. Needed drywall repaired after the interior wall was opened up to facilitate plumbing work by another company. Easy to contact, showed up on time ready to work with the right equipment and supplies, described work to be done clearly, explained each step as it was done, was detail oriented and careful when completing the work, cleaned up the work area when done, end result was perfect. Quote was reasonable. I will definitely call this company again when I need work done.

Fantastic! Rob has extensive expertise and was able to help us out with a wide range of projects. He's efficient and cares about finding the best solution for the homeowner, rather than up-selling. He was a joy to work with.

Someone barely touched your mailbox. You wanted an estimate to replace it. I gave that to you. I then asked how I was going to get paid. You had no idea. Why would anyone take on this job when there are no guarantees as to who is going to pay for the work? I am sorry you had such a poor experience with me but I know of no other licensed contractor who would risk doing this work. Rob Willis Mt. Tabor Construction 503 756-3219

Thanks to patient and creative problem solving by Rob, the range hood installation went very well even though we have a quirky old home with extremely limited crawl space. He even talked me through product selection considerations when I found the array of options quite overwhelming and the salespeople unhelpful at various stores. As icing on the cake, he's fair priced, honest, and super friendly. I like watching and learning more about my home when contractors do work. Rob was great about that, sharing all his problem solving thought process with me, which I really appreciated.

I needed to hang a door for an outdoor shed. Rob came out and assessed what needed to be done THE VERY NEXT DAY! Very responsive communication. He got back to me promptly with quite an impressive proposal. I actually did not go forward on it due to my own financial limitations and it’s not his fault. I thought his estimate was fair for his professionalism. However, I will be reaching out again next year when I remodel my kitchen! I’ll have more of a budget then :)

Rob responded to my bid request almost immediately. He was able to come out very promptly to evaluate the work I wanted done. He was very professional and gave an honest and reasonable appraisal/bid right away. When he came to do the work, he called ahead to notify me that he was on his way over. He did a thorough and very neat job, cleaned up his work site before he left. I was very happy with the work he did and look forward to relying on his company for any future projects, large or small. In addition to doing quality work, being professional, honest and trustworthy, you can tell that he loves what he does!

He did a great job. He was very prompt and took care of the jobs within days of my calling him. He was very up-front about the costs involved, and let me know about any potential risks with regard to cost once the job starts.
Description of Work: Rob took care of a bunch of odd jobs for me. Fixed an unstable bannister, fixed a door that wouldn't close, and replaced a bunch of rotting deck boards.
The job went very well and was completed on time. Mt. Tabor Construction was thorough, honest, and did a quality job on all items requested.

Rob was excellent. We could not be happier! An old cabinet was removed from the basement to make room for a new tenant’s washing machine/dryer. The cabinet had been used as support for handrails. The cabinet’s removal resulted in no hand rail and a 4-ft drop onto the floor. A safety hazard! Rob, with short notice, designed, constructed, installed a durable, artful solution. Certainly we would use Mt. Tabor Construction again!

Would not bid over the phone. Dismissed me as a client when I asked for a relative range of cost. Said it wasn't a fit based upon me wanting a price range. Not the best customer service practice.

Unfortunately, I did not get my point across to you when I said that I was currently working out of state and it would be unprofessional of me to give you a bid over the phone concerning a project that I have not inspected. You kept pushing me for a phone bid until I realized that I would not be a good fit for you. I was very curtious and thanked you for your call. For this, you give me my worst review in a decade?

It was a great experience. Rob was very responsive and kept me informed. He worked in my small project and was honest and upfront about what he could do and couldn't squeeze in. He researched and put me in touch with a person who specializes in metal work for the handrail which I really appreciated. Might be a little more than your average person but WELL worth it for quality attention to detail, trust in leaving my house, and cleaning up and following up.

We are very happy with Mt. Tabor Construction. Rob has done a couple of smaller projects around the house, and we plan to use him for larger projects as well. He responds to emails, calls, and texts quickly, so I never felt I was left hanging. We also appreciated his honesty, knowledge, and recommendations. He re-did the caulk around the tub and repaired the wall area behind the tub. The work was done within a timely manner and he did a good job working around our schedules. He also did some custom shelves in one of our closets around the same time and did a great job listening to what I was looking for a creating a more usable closet for us. I felt his prices were reasonable as well.
