Description of Work: Rick came to give us an estimate on an addition that we want to do. At first, he was nice, but when I asked him to give me a written estimate with some details, he got upset and raised his voice at me and told me that he will not write a detailed estimate because he is not getting paid for it. when he noticed that I was not happy with his answer, he tried to be nice again, but it was too late. If he is telling me that before I hire him, what will he do when he is already hired?

Response from Thomas Custom Builders Inc
Dear [Member Name Removed], I do not know exactly how to respond to your comments regarding our meeting other than I do understand the time pressures all business owners, like yourself, face day to day. At our meeting, I was trying to get the same respect as it applies to my time, but more importantly, I was trying to get detailed information so that I would be able to prepare a Preliminary Proposal that would be as complete and as per your vision as possible. We are a Design/Build firm and as I recall you, had just been jilted and led down a endless path by another, less professional builder. I sensed your impatience and did react as a human, and not in a constrained and totally professional manner. I did invite you to end our session and you decided to continue and i did receive a bit more information. I did prepare a full Preliminary Scope Proposal with costing (not our Standard operating procedure) as a courtesy, with respect to your tight time constraints. Whenever a client wants to embark on the process of designing and ultimately building an addition, one must put in the time and from our first encounter, I did not feel that you were interested in the work required to turn your vision into a reality. I sincerely hope that you have located a compatible and competent builder that will create an environment that you are hoping for. As a Angie's List Super Service Provider for the past three years, I will stand on the many excellent reviews by so many of our past and current clients.

Description of Work: Was looking to have a small job done that turned out to be below their price range, but the owner was kind enough to refer me to a couple of other contacts who he recommended, instead. Obviously, the owner didn't need to do this, so it was much appreciated.

They did a wonderful job, were extremely professional, punctual and did what they said they would do on time. They were great to deal with and I would use them again any time. I actually used another Angie's List company to redo my bathroom and bedroom and it turned into a nightmare. I thought that I would save a little and it ended up costing me way more. I wish I had just gone with Rick and his team and I would be confident that I would have gotten a great job. I am also a real estate agent and top producer and have recommended Thomas Builders several times and every client I have recommended has also been extremely happy with their work.
Description of Work: I hired Thomas Custom Builders to renovate my kitchen as well as some additonal jobs. They put in custom cabinets, new appliances, etc. Installed bookcases, made a shed on the patio and other various jobs I had.

See above..it went fantastically.
Description of Work: My husband and I just purchased a home in which the bathroom was remodeled by Thomas Custom Builders 2 years earlier (May 2009). We were having problems trying to figure out the jacuzzi/tub but knew who remodeled the bathroom so I called them and spoke with Rick and Dave both regarding my issue...during their lunch break, yet they were both gracious enough to speak with me anyways. Dave wound up coming to my house on a Saturday morning to help me with my problem. He was on his way elsewhere and turned around to come help me figure out the problem with the jacuzzi/tub. It was a minor problem and he essentially fixed our problem for no charge. He was courteous, personable and thoughtful. I cannot believe he was willing to help me 2 years after the bathroom remodeling. He even remembered the job. Thanks Dave and Rick! The bathroom is beautiful by the way...we love it...especially the tiled shower.

Our experience was wonderful from meeting with their architect to finish stain on screen porch. Rick was able to guide us through use of important questions ie: What do you want to accomplish? New space or extension of existing area. How do envision finished product trim, color, lighting, flooring. Where to place furniture as to where electrical plugs, wall mount for panel tv should be located. Dave was on site daily making sure all the construction points to the job were on schedule and flowing smoothly. Every single employee was polite, hardworking, on-time and very talented. They all worked as a well tuned professional team. I felt comfortable leaving my home while they worked. By the time they were finished both my husband and I felt blessed to have met such a fine group of people. They did a fantastic job and we're pleased we hired them.
Description of Work: Increase family living area through use of an addition. The family room addition was 10 feet x 20 ft. Thomas Builders removed our home's back wall put in structural support beam, added a skylight, and a built-in reading nook with bookshelves. Then we added a screened porch 14 feet x 12 feet with ez breeze windows and a deck 8 feet x20 feet. They also installed new windows and siding to back of the house.

From our first meeting in the spring of 2010 with Rick Thomas to looking at the finishing touches, Thomas Custom Builders was a pleasure to work with. Rick?s quick grasp of what we were trying to accomplish was coupled with sage advice on what to aim for to keep the estimated cost right where we needed to be. Rick's recommendation of a designer was perfect and gave us the detailed plans we needed. Dave Holmes' meticulous attention to detail and supervision of the team provided a high quality, aesthetically pleasing final product. Those horror stories we?d heard led us to expect cost overruns and Rick cautioned us from the beginning that the unforeseen could lie under the deck or elsewhere throughout the project. The rapid discovery of issues under the deck made us concerned, but, in the end, the overruns were less than ten percent of the estimate. Three quarters of those were the result of conscious decisions we made to exceed the allowances in the estimates. We don?t regret for a moment our choices of upgraded appliances (especially the dishwasher) and our beautiful floors. The same anecdotes of others? experiences with remodeling highlighted unresponsive workers, long and unexplained interruptions in the work, and other frustrations. We saw none of that. Your team could be relied upon to be here when they said. If curing time, suppliers, or the like would result in the team?s absence, we always knew exactly what was going on. As a site lead, we couldn?t have asked for better than Kenny who stayed on top of the details and made sure the subcontractors met your high standards. In sum, we picked the right contractor and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Redesigned and remodeled the kitchen, eating area, family room and deck.
