We were very pleased with that. The process went smoothly and they were easy to talk to.

Justin and his team did an excellent job. He listened to what I had in mind and the result is exactly what I wanted. He had to drill into the brick on the side of the house to affix the steel wire so this was not a job I could have done myself. Everything looks neat and the lights are hung securely. He also installed a dimmer switch and cover for the electrical outlet (at my request). He had to come back a second day as the concrete wasn't curing fast enough. He wanted to ensure it would hold the lights. I also asked him to install a light in my mudroom while he was here, and take a look at a broken heat lamp on my deck. Some contractors don't like to be bothered with the smaller jobs - not Justin. He will tackle it all. Super professional and does great work.

The quality of the work and the price were acceptable, with the exception of issue with plumbing where he obviously hadn't inspected the work that his workers had completed. The real issue at end came from his customer service and ability to focus only on his tasks. I asked him if the last $1325 ( $6,900+/- paid upfront with no hassle) could be paid from my proceeds of the sale of the house at closing. He agreed to this and was fully aware that the closing date was about 2 weeks from the date we made the agreement. About a week later and after the majority of the repairs had been completed (more on that later), he messaged me asking if he could be paid early for the completed work.
I reminded him of our agreement about being paid at closing about a week later and stated that the attorney had already submitted the closing docs to the buyer's mortgage company to review and they couldn't be changed. He agreed again and then things started to go south. When the attorney called to verify the amounts that had already been paid and the remaining balance to be paid, he stated different amounts that what he and I had agreed to. This was the first time that the closing was almost postponed by Adam Contracting's Owner. I expressed my frustration to him verbally and instructed him to call the attorney's office in the morning to state the correct amounts and keep closing on track. Instead of talking to them, he instead sent a very tersely worded email threatening to place a mechanic's lien on the property (bear in mind this is still prior to closing and he had agreed to be paid at closing twice). This again sent the closing into a spiral as there was a threat of a unknown lien on the property by Adam Contracting. After a full days worth of phone calls with attorneys and the buyers mortgage company, we were able to sort everything despite the threat of a lien.
The night before closing my wife and I went to the property to vacuum the carpets, sweep floors, mow the lawn, etc. fo the new owners. I went into the bathroom shower to check that one of the mandated repairs was complete (the shower stem to be replaced) and the repair had not been completed, and this was 15 hours prior to closing. This was the third time that Adam Contracting had threatened this closing. After calling and emailing Adam Contracting multiple times and telling him the faucet was not functional I was told 'Feel free to go check it. I don't have to prove anything to you. It's been replaced and thats a fact! I will get money.' (an excerpt from his email)
I reminded him that as his paying client, he did have to prove it. An excerpt my response to that email 'I didn't bring this up at the last minute to **** with you. I brought it up because it's not working as you said it would. The quick and easy solution is to complete the repair and get it taken care of.... Trust me, I am more than ready to wash my hands of this and move on but I'm not able to because the work is not complete. And as your paying client, yes. Yes you do have to prove that you did the work. I'm sure if you were in my position that you would do the same.
The house finally closed and the attorney sent the check direct to him. An already stressful situation was made worse and his interactions almost killed this deal entirely. I have learned a few lessons during this time and I would suggest anyone who is interested in working with Adam Contracting to get everything in writing (whether implicit or explicitly expected) and make sure that you do a thorough inspection of all work completed. Based of my interactions with Adam Contracting, I would NEVER consider working with them again and will pass that advice on to whomever asks me.
Buyer Beware.

Response from Adam Contracting
"To all my future clients: This review contains false information regarding the way that the actually situation turned out. Allow me to clear this up so that there is no confusion. Adam Contracting was hired to complete a variety of repairs to the home. The contract did not state that the final payment would be paid and closing nor was it discussed up front, however was discussed after we entered the contractual agreement and I informed the client that that would not be an issue. Once the job was complete I informed the client that we had finished and the item referenced in the review above related to the plumbing was a mis-understanding on the clients part. Our contract stated " supply and install a new replacement cartridge valve in the upstairs hall bath shower". Client must not have read the contract and thought that we where to replace the tub spout itself. This is why when the client went to the property that this line item was not yet completed, because that particular line item did not exist. I informed him that I did it myself so there was no confusion as to it being done or not. As soon as it was brought to my attention I went to the property immediately and replaced the tub spout at no cost to the client to avoid a hold up on closing, which once again had nothing to do with what we where hired to do nor was Adam Contracting legally obligated to assist in anyway with closing on time, our original scope of work was already completed, this was going to be a courtesy to our client which clearly went un appreciated. Our contract states " Balance will be due upon the completion of the work listed above". As for the payment goes, we where issued a deposit on the project which was to include a Credit Card convenience fee that is clearly stated in our contract and was know by the client because we have done work for him prior to this particular project. The delay did not come from the decline of Adam Contracting wanting to wait until closing for payment, it simply came from the fact that when we where contacted by the bank to inform them of the balance due at closing our number was not matching the number that the client gave them because he forgot to include the credit card fee that was yet to be applied from the initial deposit. Client noted " apply the fee to the final payment all together once completed and we said no problem. Obviously prior to client asking if we can wait until closing to be paid. However this could all have been avoided if the client did not contact me numerous times via email and phone call verbally assaulting me as well as belittling me with curse word after curse word. This is behavior that Adam Contracting does not and will not tolerate as a business or as an individual. We are a very reputable company as our reviews reflect. Unfortunately there are just some people out there that want something for nothing and intends on using Angie's List as leverage by threating a " Bad review". As you can see the client could not even refrain from cursing in the review it self, however Angie's List would not allow it so he replace the word of choice with ****! So we all can see what type of person we where dealing with. Please do not be like this person. We approach everything in a professional manner therefore expect the same respect from our clients. Thank you for you time and we look forward to working with all potential clients in the future!"

Outstanding experience throughout the spectrum of repairs. We were exceptionally pleased with overall costs and quality of workmanship. Justin's crew was very professional and went above and beyond to clean the work areas at the end of each day. Justin was always accessible via phone and email for questions that we had.
Great experience -- we'll definitely use Adam Contracting again in the future!

This company is great to work with. Reliable, responsive and outstanding work. Communication was great and most importantly, we always knew when they were coming and what work was being performed each day. I did a lot of research and had many quotes for this job and we couldn't be more happy with our choice. We will definitely use Adam Contracting as our go-to company for future work on our home.

After a long search, I found Adam Contracting LLC. He promptly responded to my request on the Angie's List app. He had the most reasonable price and was able to fit us in on the date and time we wanted. He always responded promptly and showed up exactly on time. They had all of the equipment they needed, conducted their work professionally, were courteous and very capable. After completed their work, they cleaned up, vacuumed and spent time discussing the work completed. After contractors that either wouldn't call back, were seriously over priced or not able to do the job, Adam Contracting was a great find. I highly encourage you contact Adam and see if he can take care of your needs.

Mostly good. Painted exterior decorative trim when it was too cold so it didn't cure adequately. Also, the exterior trim was not primed prior to painting. Contractor said the trim was primed by the manufacturer....not true. A few months after the install, the trim started to bulge again at the bottom due to water penetration (this was supposed to be fixed) and paint started peeling off the trim. Since they weren't responsive to fix it the right way (sand, prime and repaint) In Nov of 2015 I spent $400 to have a painting contractor redo the priming and painting of the exterior trim....this contractor confirmed my suspicions that the trim was not primed at the manufacturer's plant and Adam contracting did not prime it. There were other minor issues with door fit, gaps that had to be sealed due to inadequate door alignment, etc. So he got the job done in a timely manner, but not as well as I would have liked. His price was competitive with others and less than some, so I guess you get what you pay for.
Response from Adam Contracting
"Unfortunately this is not accurate information. The company that the particular door came from is called REEB and they do not offer any exterior doors that are not primed. The options are vinyl clad, aluminum clad and primed pine. I informed the client that the middle of winter when there was snow on the ground was not a good time to be applying exterior paint and that we would not be able to warrant it. He needed it done. The door was installed perfectly level as well as plumb. The home owner was not in the area so the tenant was in between our communications which is never the best situation. We strive for excellence and our reviews back that up over the last 5 years. We have won the super service award 5 years in a row and plan to continue with that trend as the years go on. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day !"

We needed a wall built to divide a living room/dining room into
two separate rooms with a french door. Justin was prompt with an
estimate and the work was done on time. The wall was built, the french
doors installed and everything painted properly. There was an issue with
the placement of the doorknobs (due to the uneven floors in the house)
and Justin came by a few days later and corrected the problem. We were
very satisfied with the work and we are likely to use this contractor
again in the future.

I had recently bought a new home and knew that I wanted to add a bathroom to the partially finished basement. I met with about five contractors and got estimates. Most of the contractors were very pushy about the location of the bathroom, which differed from my preferred location. Justin was the first one I met with that said I he could make it happen in that space for a reasonable price. Other estimates extended up to about $25,000 for this bath. Justin was one of the lower estimates, but not the lowest. I picked him based on the fact that his attitude all along was that whatever I wanted, he would make happen. Also, being a single female, I appreciated that when I asked questions, he never talked down to me, or acted like I was stupid for not knowing- he always took the time to explain things without getting irritated or frustrated. Any changes throughout the way, he had his guys change without a complaint. I was also very comfortable having all of his employees in my home.
This bath was a lot of labor since there was not a rough in. Other contractors complained about having to drill the concrete up along the entire basement floor. Justin's plumber was able to come in and easily locate another line underground that eliminated so much drilling. They cut the wall and framed out a door at the base of the stairs, relocated the water heater, installed then rough in, added a vent, outlet, lights, vanity, toilet, and full standing shower.
We had a hang up with the vanity (due to another business, NOT Justin's) which hung up the timeline- this whole time Justin and his team were VERY patient waiting for the vanity to be built.
Justin also worked with me to find ways to save money along the way, while still providing the best product. The price did not include tile or fixtures- these I bought separately through Floor and Decor, Home Depot, and Lowes.
This was the first time I had hired a contractor for such a large project, and I would definitely use this company again. I have actually already scheduled a second job with them.

I think I could have found someone to do it a little more cheaply, for example maybe if I'd sought out a handyman who works alone on smaller jobs, but there is something to be said for peace of mind. I'd worked with Adam Contracting before, and they were as professional and competent as I remembered. They helped us come up with a better way to use the space (shelves big enough to hold all of our photo albums and board games, with bi-fold doors), and we're much happier with that space now.

The guy did not do what I wanted and when I called the business he said he would send him out to do what I ask and he hung up the curtain rods crooked and ended up having someone else redo it. The company seem to be nice but the worker I had was slow and did not do a good job.

We scheduled an appointment for an estimate with Justin LeBlanc, from Adam Contracting LLC for Saturday, May 9th at 7:30AM. We woke up early in order to meet with Justin. Justin never showed, never called and never emailed us letting us know that he couldn't make it. I emailed him later in the morning asking him why he missed our appointment. I received an email the following day from him apologizing for missing the appointment. He said he had a family emergency and we could reschedule. A courtesy email that takes 30 seconds to write stating that he couldn't make it would have been appreciated. In my eyes, no call and no email to let me know he couldn't make it demonstrated that he didn't have much respect for my time considering I arranged my weekend to meet with him that morning. I understand situations arise but I find it incredibly rude to not let the other person know that you can't make it.
We rescheduled with Justin for 8AM the following Saturday. Justin arrived on time and we showed him the two projects we wanted to have completed. Justin said he would have an estimate to us by Monday or Tuesday. I received an estimate from him on Monday. The first project was a small ground level 69 sq ft deck. Justin quoted the estimate for this project to be $3,725 for supplies and labor! We went to Lowes ourselves and bought all of the wood, concrete, AND tools for $243!. Over $3,400 in labor is a lot to me for such a small project.
The second estimate was to replace 6 hollow core slab interior doors (Doors only, not the frame), 8 bi-fold closet doors, and the front door. The estimate for this project only included labor since we are ordering all of the doors ourselves. The estimate for the labor for this project came back at $3,825. I emailed him stating this I believed this estimate was extremely high. He stated the cost of the front door to install was $575, which is reasonable to me given the complexity of the install. That means he is charging $3,250 in labor only for interior doors and closet doors. This translates to a labor cost of $232 per door.
He said the best he could do would be to take 10% off for being an Angie's List member... I asked him to redo the estimate if we took all of the old doors off ourselves and we stained the deck ourselves. He came back with an estimate of $6,400 for both projects. I thought this was still incredibly high for how small these projects were. I told him we would not be moving forward with this estimate.
It was a very disappointing experience and we were hoping we would be able to use this company for other projects in our home.

It went great. I called late the day before and he came out the next morning. I needed it replaced ASAP because the installers for a dishwasher I bought refused to install this because of the original plastic valve. I called Adam Contracting, LLC and told him my situation and agreed to come out. I sent him a picture before hand so he knew what I was talking about and charged a very reasonable price for both the labor and parts. I would call them again for any handyman needs I have.
