Pendleton Construction

We are still in the process but everything is going well and looking awesome. Thank You! Mr Pendleton and sub contractors. Your the best!!

Things on the project went very well, we added several items to the original bid and still completed it in a timely manner. All of the workers that were on the project were very nice and willing to work with the changes we made along the way. The quality of work was very high!

It didn't go. I'm only typing words here because the review submission form requires an entry in this field.

Pendleton Construction was the General contractor for my complete kitchen remodel. The main issue we had was with his sub contractors that were poor in their delivery and execution of their projects from the drywall, electrical and most importantly the cabinets.

They were to follow up in about 1.5 to 2 weeks with a design as described in the "Big Deal". It has now been almost 6 weeks and I still have not received my design or estimate for the work to be done. They said that they were backed up with work, but it would be nice to get a call or e-mail saying they were still working on the design and give me an estimate on when I can get it. I can't schedule anything for my bath until I get more information and an estimate.

What sweethearts! The guy assessed the situation and got more people as I wanted more work done. I was so impressed with the time he spent at my home. He’s a decent man, kind, and has an eye for detail. He was wonderful and delightful to work with. I look forward to working with him in the future as we had to put the project on the back burner due to health reasons.

We responded to an Angie's List "special deal" according to which this company would come to our home and give us computerized drawings of how we could remodel a room, for $49. We paid the $49 up front, they came and looked at the room for about 25 minutes, then left, saying they'd be in touch after generating the drawings. That was about three months ago and we've never heard from then again.

It went well. They worked with me because I had some problems. They listened to what I said and put in what I asked for. They gave me reasons why I wouldn’t want something that wouldn’t work in the design.

We decided not to remodel the kitchen but would use them in the future. They gave us the plans they made which had some really good ideas.

The contractor and architect were on time and very professional. A couple of days later I had a rendering of possibilities!

The job was fine. The price was reasonable.

Bob Pendleton and partner, Mike Dearden came out to measure kitchen. They appeared professional and I really liked Bob Pendleton. They explained that he did the construction mostly and his partner did the design. Made appointment to visit his partner's "showroom" which was a small room with one style of cabinets and a few doors with different finishes all in the same style. No countertops, appliances or other things to show. At that time, his partner told me he could supply the cabinets and I did not need to use Pendleton Construction. I told him that I liked Bob Pendleton and would use him, but tried to play along to see what he would come up with for a design even though I had not decided to go with them. Got design which was basically my kitchen, with generic cabinets, no measurements and eliminating the one element I said I wanted to keep. I could have done better with a free app on my ipad or going to Home Depot. When I called back, I was told tcould get the measurements if I wanted to pay $300. I decided to cut my loses and go elsewhere.

Most of it went well. Had to stand my ground on a couple of ideas. The craftsmanship was great. I liked working with the owner. Some of the subcontractors were untimely.

The owner was a little hard to get a hold of. Left several messages, ha appears to be really busy. He does more of the construction side of things. He brought a partner who sometimes works with him to plan the overall design. The design was done for us in a time frame that we were ok with. I had to call a couple times to ask when the plans would be ready, but they did deliver with the 3D plans. I liked the plans, but to be honest we were only, at this point, looking for plans. It was pretty early in the designing stage for us. I did feel like the owner really wanted us to commit with him. I felt like his prices were WAY over our budget. I would say the price is outstanding to get a design in mind, but they are trying to "hook" you in with doing the complete job. I suspect, just like us, that most people wont be ready to commit and will probably want other plans and estimates.

Everything has gone great and I am so excited for my kitchen to be finished. Bob is a great guy and communicates to me so that I know what is going on. I am super pleased that I found Pendleton Construction on Angie's list!

They did come up with an idea that I had not thought of and for fifty dollars that was worth it. However, I would not have been happy paying the regular $300.

Was supposed to receive detailed plan and drawings but not provided as promised

We bought the $50 plan. There was a delay in setting up our appointment, but Bob kept us informed and he was punctual at the appointment. Bob and the cabinet guy looked at our kitchen, drew up plans and then gave us a cost estimate. They were very professional. We have a very tight space and felt that maybe they weren't as creative in their use of it. The bid came in pretty high and we decided to go somewhere else with someone more used to small spaces. Even though we didn't use them this time, I would go to them again, especially in a more normal sized space.

The plan submitted to me was not what I wanted or representative of the ideas I felt we had discussed. I felt we were not communicating so I did not go further.

They gave us some good ideas, and we will probably go back to them when we do the project. They were very professional and prompt.

Estimate was more than double any other bid I'd received.

Bob Pendleton is a great guy. Very, very responsive. I think there was maybe one or two times that I called him when he did not immediately answer the phone. When I did have to leave a message, he called back very quickly. Really, I was very happy with the whole project. It took awhile to complete, but I have found that any remodel tends to take about twice as long as you expect, for any number of different reasons. The only "gripe" I have with the project would be the quality of the cabinets. However, let me explain. Fashion Cabinets designed a great kitchen for me. It is practically perfect. The cabinet quality is fine, except for the paint job. I opted for painted maple cabinets. I pretty much had to go with white, although I might have preferred a gray. For some reason, the only painted color they had was white (or much darker colors, which I didn't want.... Maybe they have finally gotten it together as far as painted color options go. You can go to Lowes or Home Depot and their cabinet's offer a huge variety of paint finishes... but I digress.) I love my cabinets and am happy with the white, but less than 3 months after the job was finished, the paint started to flake and peel off. Granted, this has been in the harder use areas and below the sink where there is more contact with water, but that seemed really, really soon for the paint to start to fail. I am pretty sure that if I primed and painted the cabinets myself, they would hold up a lot longer than 3 months. I haven't contacted Bob or Fashion Cabinets about this issue, so I can't say how they would handle my complaint. I really think the cabinets in question should be repainted, and painted better than before. They are expensive, high-quality cabinets. Too bad the paint isn't also expensive and high-quality.

The work I got from Pendleton Construction did not turn out so wonderful. Their design wasn't very useable. He was pleasant and I appreciated his bid. I did not go with his bid. The schematics that he put together were probably worth $60.00 and not the $300-plus it was supposed to be worth. It was basically just an CAD rendering, maybe four inches by three inches. I have no complaints about him at all. I just the Big Deal is not a deal. It's a come over. It's a way to get people to call. The value is grossly overstated, grossly overstated. I cut him some slack and figured it was worth the $50.00 that I spent, but it was not worth a penny over that. He was great. He showed up, he communicated well and actually told me, at some point, that he was not going to be able to be competitive and still talked to me about things that I needed to watch out for and stuff like that. So for him, I'd absolutely give an "A."

I was pleased with their work, their rates were reasonable, and they used good people as well.? I would use them again.

Pendleton Construction wasn't too bad. We started off a little on the rocky side, but he's doing pretty good now. He calls me fairly regularly and makes sure that everything is okay. I would say things are not too bad. He was out here probably about two weeks after I had purchased the Big Deal. The first visit I had with him, I was not pleased at all, but then, he called me every week. His follow-up to make sure that I was satisfied is excellent.
