Easy Living Construction

It went horribly and NOW I have found out that the owner of the company/president didn't pay all the contractors and I have to go to court as a lien has been placed on my home.... I spoke with Mr. Denley and he said he spent the money!! and doesnt have it to pay. Now after researching ELC this appears to be how they work according to the state licensing agency. Its gonna cost me over 8k to clear this up and turns out he wasnt insured.

Very average quality with very disfunctional project management . We were told this would be a simple 6-8 week job that took 13 weeks with few rain delays. ELC seems to take on more jobs than they can manage as subs were often left on the site with no supervision from ELC or their own company. This resulted in the siding, the shingles, the gutters and much of the electrical work being done incorrectly the first time resulting in a lot of reworks.The project actually failed the Collierville electrical inspection four times. On one of the reworks the painters put flat paint on top of satin paint in areas that had to be repainted so it had to be painted a third time... but only after we pointed it out. We have owned our home for 20 years and have had four other major renovation projects done so we know none of these projects go as smoothly as you wish. There will always be some mishaps but with ELC the mishaps were more than all of our other previous projects combined. During the course of our project we were told by ELC that the painters were being fired because of their poor work, that the electrician was being fired because of his poor work, and the ELC site foreman quit. The final check list that ELC asked that we submit to them prior to final payment contained corrections that the homeowner should not have to point out. Things like multiple holes in the sheetrock, bottom sides of window sills and trim not being painted, receptacles not being flush with wall, areas of sheet rock being painted but never sanded. These are things quality subs would have done right the first time and , or proper site management would have corrected as the job progressed. During the job neatness was never a priority. Even though we were told the carpets and stairs would be protected by plastic it never was until my wife put it down. The new garage became the dumpster for all of the wood scraps, insulation, old sheetrock, and food containers. The pile was wall to wall to the point the workers were tripping over it. My wife and I made two truckloads trips to the landfill just to get rid of it as ELC said they would carry it away but did not. When the trash was cleared we saw the new concrete floor had so much spilled paint, liquid nails globs, and dried sheet rock mud on it that we had to hand scrap the entire floor. All in all these seem like nice guys but I would not recommend ELC for any type of home improvement project.

They have been an excellent company to work with and I will use in the future for other projects.

I did some of the work and they did some. We worked together really well on the project. It was excellent. I would highly recommend them. In fact, after this work, I’m going to have them build a house for me. That work is going to be around $180,000.

They did a horrible job. I was thinking about taking them to court but I do not want to deal with them anymore. The nails that they used on the outside trim came all the way through the wall to the inside. Also on one window they ran out of wood so they just put this putty stuff in it. It was about the size of a man s fist. When it rains, water now comes in. I would never use them again.
