Description of Work: I met with the owner's son regarding some work we wanted done, including installing a tile floor in our kitchen, and remodeling the fireplace with some custom millwork. The price quote was so astronomical, I called to inquire if a mistake had been made. He said that no, this was the appropriate quote ...which for installing tile on kitchen floor (about 200 sq ft) the price was over $23,000. The tile itself was quoted at $6.50 per sq ft, so the installation was in the neighborhood of $20,000 for a modest sized kitchen. The fireplace work (for which the average quote from other contractors was around $4000), he quoted $14,000 as the "md-level" price. When I challenged him on pricing, asking if he felt comfortable quoting a figure 4-5 times higher than other, well-reputed contractors, he was steadfast in his conviction that the pricing was appropriate. Needless to say, I opted not to use Gehmans for our remodeling work.

Description of Work: I called thus company for an estimate on adding an addition to my home and they responded very promptly. I briefly described over the phone and before meeting me or seeing the home he told me an approximate price over the phone which seemed extremely high to me. However he did come out to evaluate the project and later emailed me with a very very high price madding that this was with no frills. Also asked me how I came up with a price whcich I never did. Having a experience with building an addition a few years ago with a highly respected contractor I kind of knew what to expect. Since the I have had estimates from contractors on Angies List and everyone is considerably lower. My opinion is to stay away from this company

Response from Gehman Design Remodeling
Member, I'm sorry that your experience with Gehman Design Remodeling didn't meet your expectations. There's nothing I can say that will change how you're feeling about us, but if you'll allow me I would like to explain a few things for you. I spoke with Elijah who is our Remodeling Consultant you interacted with and asked for his side of the story. On the first phone call he had with you, he felt that we weren't a fit for you and your project. Our policy is that unless there are really major red flags we set a time to go and meet with the folks who call us. Consumers believe that we owe them a free estimate. There's no such thing as a 'free estimate', it might be free to you but someone is paying for it. Each time we go out on an appointment is costs us money which we need to charge the clients who hire us to do work for. Part of the challenge in remodeling is that homeowners want us to give prices without giving us answers to a myriad of questions that must be answered through a design process. The information Elijah gave you via email asked a lot of questions that you will need to answer for whoever you choose to work with. I agree that he focused too much on the $$$, but he's correct that your selections do make a difference to the cost of the project. Asking you how much you want to invest in your remodeling project seems like a fair question, because if our experience tells us that we're going to be far apart from what you're comfortable with then it doesn't make sense to continue the conversation. We've been in business for 22 years and have never done the same project twice. Therefore each project we do is custom in that we're making it work for our Clients. We recognized long ago that we're not the right contractor for everyone nor is everyone the right clien tfor us. I wish you well with your remodeling project and life in general. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. I Corinthians 1:18 Dennis D.

Did not go forward with service.
Description of Work: Got an estimate for remodeling a very small bathroom. The estimate prior to any further detailed discussions was the price of a new car (which, incidentally, I just bought - the square feet surface of the bathroom and my new car where the same, so I felt this was a bit too pricey).
