Description of Work: We needed a claw foot tub removed and a stall shower and new sink in place in a hurry and they were able to do it in a timely manner. We appreciated the effort and attention to detail that was shown by the foreman and his crew. The sub-contractors were introduced and their work was checked by the foreman. We plan to use Steve Spratt again

Description of Work: Hired to replace shower pan and walls. They showed up on time and finished on time. The price was a little high, but the quickness and professionalism was worth it in the end.

Description of Work: The contractor did not keep our scheduled appointment. Did not contact me to cancel and left me waiting at my home. Aside from that he wanted me to provide copies of all BIDs. Not professional at all.

Response from Steve Spratt Improvements
Hello [removed members name], I am sorry that we were not able to respond to your request in a timely manner. Apparently we transposed the numbers in your phone number and called a wrong number. We then emailed you to get the right number and when you called us back today, you had already made other arrangements. We probably would not have been able to do your work quickly enough even if we had gotten the numbers right since we presently have a 2 month backlog. Sorry for any inconvenience. Steve Spratt

Response from Steve Spratt Improvements
Hello [member name remove], The replacement material we were going to use was PVC which would not rot like your original material and cost us closer to $200 than $125. We figured that gathering materials, driving to your house, making the repairs, cleaning up. hauling away the old material. and driving back to town would take 9 hours at $75 per hour for a total of $870 which was the written estimate that you received. I am glad you were able to do the labor yourself and save that money. And lucky for you, you didn't have to do a free estimate that your only payment was a D rating on Angie's List.

Description of Work: Called numerous times and calls were not returned. When I finally did reach someone, I was told they couldn't get to my jobs until October. Had they bothered to call me back sooner, I could have been looking for someone else.

Hello [member name removed], I am sorry we did not respond to your calls in a timely manner. My secretary had a stroke in May and we have not been as responsive as usual. I will try to do better in the future. Steve Spratt
