Adam Contracting

Justin installed new custom banisters in my home--five of them, did a great job!

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.

Replaced light sensor in yard lamp. Everything went AOK.

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. 

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.

Great.  One worker.  Interactions with the worker was great.  The worker was prompt and on time.  He left the area clean when he was done. 

great.

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.

The job was completed in a very professional manner and the repair looks great!  I would definitely use this contractor again!

Justin did an outstanding job of keeping to my timeline and doing a quality job.  I would defiantly recommend Adam contacting to anyone looking to finish a basement.  Their price is fair and the quality of the work is top notch.  I will be using Justin and team for any work I have to do in the future.

,Contacted Adam Contracting LLC third week in September for estimate on replacing front door with the same type of front door with weather stripping that will hold up--no air leaks.  He got back to me with estimate on the 26th, I questioned him if this was with glass as I have, he said no he would get back to me. One Oct 2, 2014 I signed contract for door etc for $1,625.  Fifty percent was sent with the signing of the contract.  Justin said it would take about two weeks for the door to come in. 

I didn't hear from Justin in the two weeks but the third week of Oct he emailed me that the door company was back logged and it would take longer to come in.  On Oct 27, I received an email that the door had arrived and he would like to come by to pick up the paint.  Sunday, Nov, 2 Justin came by for the paint. 

On Nov 10,2014 I received an email from Justin stating he could get us on the schedule for Friday, Nov 15 at 8 a.m.  and to let him know.  I emailed him asking did he mean Friday, Nov 14 or Sat, Nov 15?  We scheduled for the 14th at 8 a.m.

The guys were here for 5 hours and when they were done I made sure no gaps with air coming through.  I did not at that time check the entire door for dents as I was not expecting that.  We had an appointment, I paid the remaining balance--the guys left, we left.  Saturday morning I came downstairs and saw a dent on the inside front door.  I immediately emailed (Nov 15) Justin to say the guys did a great job installing the door ( no leaks) but that I found a dent on the top right inside of the door and asked him to please come by and check it out.  His email on Nov 16, 2014 stated he would be happy to stop by and take a look and will contact me that week.  On Nov 23 I emailed Justin asking about the dent in my brand new door and thought I would check with him again before I write my review on Angies List, as I had not heard from him.

He responded on the 24th that he had been and still was sick but could come by that evening, I replied that if he was sick it could wait until he was well.  That same evening I got an email from him stating that he would be leaving on holiday the 25th and would be gone for a week and could he come over that night.  Unfortunately he did not call me with the information, he emailed me that I did not get until after 6 p.m. too late to email him to come.

On Dec 9,2014 we received an email from Justin stating he would like to schedule repair the DING.  He wrote how does Saturday December both at 8 a.m. sound?  I emailed back, Thursday would work better for us .  He responded Thursday the 16th didn't work for him.  I responded Thursday is the 18th, Tuesday is the 16th , I had hoped for the 11th.  I also stated it might just be easier getting me a new door as I was not sure how bondo will look.  I paid a lot for a door that is being patched.  I told him I would have company coming for Christmas from 25-31st and would like it done before they came.  I needed this fixed.

His reply implied he was doing me a favor coming out and checking the door and implied I dented the door and he had no obligation to fix it and that he had my email saying what a great job his guys did.  I responded I also had the email and if he read the second paragraph I told him about the dent in the door.  He was not able to get us on his schedule in December.

On Thursday, January 8, 2015 I received an email asking how does Friday between 8 and 9 sound?  I didn't receive the email until late so we scheduled the work to be done Saturday, January 17, 2015.  The repair was completed on January 17, 2015, two months after the door was installed.  Will I ever use Adam Contracting again, No.  I don't need the grief.

I purchased a big deal for this service and it was good. He was fast and thorough. It was not difficult to schedule the appointment for them to come out. The services they provided are still working out today. He knew what he was doing.

The threshold work was done well and quick.
The rake board had a few more issues in that we had a "miss communication" regarding what we actually wanted done. We had asked them to repair the rake board but it turned out the board itself was rotted. It unfortunately took two attempts to get it taken care of properly. Fortunately the resolution to the issue was quite good and we were happy with the end result.

Justin and his team did an outstanding job installing new porcelain tile from the tub to ceiling in our hallway bath. The tile design came out better than we ever expected; we really like the tile design around the recessed boxes. Justin was very accommodating. My wife and I quickly realized that more work was needed to complete our bathroom renovation shortly after the project started and Justin agreed to perform additional services at a reasonable cost. For example, the vanity we selected required us to move our plumbing to the left to make room for its drawers. The work crew exhibited great professionalism and demonstrated attention to detail and a commitment to excellence that I rarely see these days--you can tell they respect their trade. We had an issue with a small amount of water dripping from the tub spout. I ordered a replacement valve and Justin came over and replaced it at no additional cost. The bathroom has been in use for over a week now and everything is working fine. I am confident that Justin and his team will continue to excel and prosper. I have already identified other small projects I would like Jusrtin to assist me with in the future.
