John was always prompt to meet with us. His team did outstanding work. Very professional. Work was done within quoted estimate.
Description of Work: Redid the remodeling job(?) we had done on our master bath. John and crew were very professional. Always on time or they would contact. Only missed on deadline because glass had to be ordered and it took longer than expected, but John kept us informed the whole time. John's team moved the commode and the shower drain requiring concrete and plumbing work. They retiled the floor and walls, doing great work.

Description of Work: John Simmons agreed to come out to review my remodel needs -- install porch vent hood; install 2 solar attic fans; and redo cabinetry in bathroom to have a vanity kneehole. He never got back to me with an estimate. If he didn't want the job, he never communicated that either. Very disappointed as this company installed solar tubes in this house in recent years.

I did not want an addition that looked like it had been stuck onto the original house , as an after thought. I wanted it to blend in with the original part of the house. Bud was VERY patient with me, as I really did not know what I could afford until after three sets of drawings by him. . The work went fast after it got started and even though there were a few mistakes, they were corrected in a timely, friendly manner. The finished room is lovely and was done as I had requested. Bud offered good advise and that helped make the finished room even better. They let me use my own Heat and air guy and my own painter inside and out. I will use them again if I can. The price was a little high, but I believe it was in line with other general contactor/ remoding companies. i am very well please with the service, the knowledge and that he listened to me about what I wanted. I like this company very much.
Description of Work: Built a new room and closet on our little house, with a gabled roof. Very nice. With a total of 11 windows. It looks good.

John Simmons helped lead me through this project. When I didn't know how to choose from all of the options, he made suggestions regarding colors and materials. He has a great sense of design and style...especially with older architecture.
Description of Work: They remodeled my bathroom. They demo-ed the old bathroom to the studs, installed new sheet rock on the walls and ceiling, installed electrical outlets, installed new tile on the floor and around the tub and shower, installed glass block and painted.

Description of Work: The gentlemen came in completed measurements and even came back to do more measurements with a draft of the plan but after that they disappeared from the face of the earth. We did not hear from them until a friend of a friend told the owner we had engaged someone else to do our kitchen

This was my first home remodeling experience and I was very happy with the results both times. They did a complete remodel of my kitchen, added a front porch, large back porch/patio, added a utility room, bathroom, walk-in closet, driveway, carport and garage. John Simmosn was very easy to work with, had capable sub-contractors, and was a hands-on supervisor. He used the ideas I had in my head and proceeded to bring those ideas to fruition without any architectural drawings. I was never required to provide any funds until the work had been completed to my satisfaction. The third time I used this company was for $18,000 in repairs after a tree fell on my house during Hurricane Rita. They worked with the insurance company to make sure all repairs were completed properl and in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this company to anyone.
Description of Work: I have used This Old House Remodeling (aka John Simmons Construction) three different times. The first time was a partial remodel on my house, the second time was additional remodeling, and the third time was repair to my home after Hurricane Rita.

Only 2 skylights were available in this area and theirs seemed to be a better quality one with more light, so actually I chose them because of the product they were selling. Price was average for that type of work here. I had some problem with the installation folks. I would not use them again.

Response from This Old House Remodeling
This product was Solatube tubular skylights. The installation went well and timely. We were called back for a leak in Dec. of 2012. We saw no sign of a leak inside or out. We water tested the Solatube and still no leak. We have heard nothing back from the homeowner until I saw this review.

Johnny came out and looked at what I needed and realized that I really didn't need his services, that all I needed was to contact the plumber and tile man he subcontracted. Instead of charging me a fee for making phone calls, he gave me the numbers of some people and saved me some money. Great guy.
Description of Work: Needed a tub put in.

Tthey came out to meet with us, my wife told them she wanted. They had some pretty good suggestions and have apparently been doing it for quite a while. They came back with some plans and an estimate. We basically gutted the kitchen and went back in with drawers on rollers and nice granite counter tops and walnut upper cabinets, it was really pretty. It went well, they were very professional, they kept the job clean and we have strange schedules so they were okay with coming at 9:30am instead of 8a.m. I was very satisfied. There were some people that were cheaper and we could tell we weren't going to get the same quality. I'd use them again and recommend them to my mother.
