Srigley Construction

Very prompt, easy to work with.

Was told there would be two workers, their rates,and time it would take. They came on time. Work took longer than was told in the estimate but that was necessary, and Mr Srigley stayed a couple of hours and charged me even though he never mentioned he would stay and charge his rates which are higher. ( $123 of cost his staying). Workers cleaned up the porch but not under the porch ( porch is on second level) where material had drifted down . Workers damaged the inside molding when removing the door and did nothing to fix it. They also put a scratch on the wood porch when moving the door. Called Mr Stigley and he came out the next day to fix the damage on the door and did a good job but he charged me to fix it ( what he said was a cut rate) . YOu should not be charged to fix damage the workers did. One of the workers came back 3 days later to insert piece at bottom on inside molding where it no longer met the floor. I asked him to wood putty it and sand it so it would look like the molding was one piece He said he would. He did not do it. He also told me as he left I needed to caulk a few areas around the new molding. I paid for work to be done I should not have to putty, sand,and caulk . On the original work day the same workman said he would make a piece to fit in under the edging at the door as they raised the door slightly and it now was above the floor level. He never did it.

Bob did the estimate and two other carpenters did the install. They thought it would only take a day but it took the better part of three days, but not because of any negligence on their part, the work was just more involved than predicted. They guys worked very quietly and diligently and cleaned up after themselves every day. We were thrilled with the end product and felt the price reasonable for all their hard work.

Overall, the finished product is excellent. The process is not.

We wanted a built-in bookshelf unit for our living room that would cover an entire wall, floor to ceiling. The catch is that we had an existing, square, free-standing fireplace that needed to be incorporated into the design. Aside from books and art, the unit also had to house a TV and DVD player. We also wanted to the shelving unit to match the style of our house and the color of existing trim (white). We wanted the shelves to be adjustable, along with some closed storage. Bob Srigley came out to give us an estimate and sketched out his ideas. We provided some magazine photos as examples of the type of cabinets we wanted. A few days later, he e-mailed his estimate along with a drawing of the proposed unit. It looked great and we signed a contract with him. We also gave him the paint color that matched our trim. It took a few weeks for the Bob and his team to build and paint the shelving components. They assembled the components at the house. Overall, it took 1 day to install the majority of the unit. The next day was for caulking, paint touch-ups, and minor adjustments. A few of the cabinets have doors, and the doors were the final thing to arrive and be installed. The unit looks amazing - better than we had imagined. The work is really outstanding. The fireplace fit perfectly into the shelving unit, so that it looks as if it was all purposely built together. Extra touches, such as providing holes for electronic cord management, were really helpful. Because our floor slopes, the guys also adjusted some shims under the fireplace so that it would fit and look better in its space.
