Choice Remodeling

I could tell you that I was happy with the work that they did because I was. I could tell you that the prices were reasonable because they were. I could tell you that Darrell, Larry and everyone else in their crew were a pleasure to work with and they were. If you consider those factors alone, they are already doing better than 99.9% of other contractors on and off angies list. But the real story here is the fact that I was able to trust them to do work when I was not around because I knew that they would make things right if I wasn't happy with anything and they did (misunderstandings, nobody's fault). They really bent over backwards to make sure that I was happy (someone should probably put them in the guiness book of records because based on my experience they care so much more than any other contractor that I have seen or heard about). These are the only guys that I would recommend to my friends (I have no family in TX). Here's why: Anyone can do a good job one time and totally screw the next job up and burn the person you are are giving the recommendation to. I had this happen when a coworker gave me the name of a guy who had done several projects with satisfactory results and good prices. But when I worked with him (or tried to) he turned out to be a gun toting maniac drug addict who made off with a $300 material deposit. At the time I considered it a small price to pay to get him out of my life. That takes care of personal recommendations. The BBB may list a contractor as being rated A+ and Angies List might show that they are highly rated but you really can't rely on that because a lot of people don't want to post bad reviews and deal with drama. I had multiple bad experiences with providers who were A+ on the BBB (lied about insurance, didn't show up, were unprofessional). I also had a horrible experience with a company that had no bad reviews on Angies List and was actually a multiple year award winner for great service. This person took a big deposit (over $4k) and kept pushing back the job for several months for bogus reasons. It was clear that he had either spent the money on god knows what and couldn't buy materials for the job. I gave him multiple chances to refund my money before I had to call the credit card company and charge back the transaction. Thank god I put it on the credit card. Did I write a bad review? Nope, I got my money back and I wanted to move on without dealing with drama from a disgruntled contractor. Since then, this guy's company has a bunch of bad reviews. So the moral of those stories is that past success is not an indication of future results and positive ratings on websites are overrated. As time goes on circumstances change and someone who once did good work becomes desperate enough to cut corners, lie or just flat out rip people off. That's where integrity comes into play. Larry, Darrel and the crew have it. They have proven that by the way they treated me and went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy. That's something that is rare and something that makes me feel comfortable recommending them to everyone I know. These guys care a lot and will take good care of you, that much I am sure of!
