Description of Work: Mel is great to work with even through a few snags. We had a new bedroom installed in our second story space along with a loft area that required custom modular stairs. the project ended up taking 2 months but the outcome is spectacular.

Response from IMPROVE AMERICA INC
We sure appreciate the good marks from this customer. However, I would like to defend the length of time. We were not responsible for the heat and air and the electrical. We went through days typically off for Thanksgiving, and a vacation for the heat and air folks. We also had to wait for the modular stair kit to arrive. Things are not always in our control,however, we want our customers to remember the good job as they enjoy the end result.

Description of Work: IMPROVE AMERICA came up in my search on Angie's List for insulation contractors. I e-mailed them for a quote and they responded within 24 hours saying that they did not do insulation and referred me to INSULATION INC. I appreciated their responding so quickly.

In preparation for having our house repainted, I contacted Improve America to replace some various pieces of rotten wood on the exterior of my home. Mel responded to my request quickly and provided an in-person estimate. It took a bit of time to coordinate the start date of the project, but once that was nailed down everything proceeded smoothly. Once the initial work was completed I noticed that some of the luan that had been installed was buckling from moisture. Mel personally inspects all of the work that has been done and he sent his crew back out to replace the buckling luan, as well as a few other rotten boards that I had failed to notice earlier. This additional work was completed at no extra charge. Overall, I was very satisfied with the results of Improve America's work. Mel Madaris is a consummate professional and I would not hesitate to work with his company in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced a couple of pieces of rotten siding, soffit board, & porch ceiling.

We were very pleased with them overall. They were very prompt and responsive, and they cleaned up after themselves. The project manager was Andy and he was very good and he answered any questions we had. There were a few things that were not right, the electrical work being one of them, which they did not do themselves. That was a little bit of a disappointment, but we would certainly consider using them again. We spent $ 150000 and that was right within the estimate.
Description of Work: We used Improve America Inc. 2 months ago and they did the major renovations in my mother’s bathroom.

The initial contact was made by email with attached pics. We were quoted a time and materials rate for two workmen. We contacted the company on Monday--workers began work on Tuesday and completed it on Wednesday.

Improve America was the lowest of three bids I got for the work. All of the bids were within $1000 of each other. I checked references and got good reports on Improve America. I worked with Andy Sellers on developing the bid and throughout the process. The job took about three weeks, which is what they had estimated. All of the work was done professionally and expertly. If I was thinking one way and Andy was thinking another, we quickly came to an agreement. Only one change order was executed to to add a vapor barrier to the crawl space under the house. Andy constantly kept me informed of when certain work was to be done, and it was done on time. After the work was complete, we did a walk around to be sure I was satisfied with all the work. Everything was done in a quality and professional manner. I would definately work with Improve America again.
Description of Work: Exterior Renovations to a house I moved out of three years ago. Services included new roof, new doors & windows, garage door, new deck, painting, insulating and repairs to siding.

He showed up on time for bid, gave written bid the next day. Price was in mid-range with other bids we received. Scheduled start time and the workers showed up on time every day. They cleaned up every afternoon. Very professional and good-looking work.
Description of Work: They added on to an existing deck, built roof over the deck, changed out windows, and did interior trim work, also.
