We have no record of this member ever contacting us. If in fact this member did submit a request for bid we apologize for not returning your phone call, email message or text. But as of this writing we have nothing in our files with this member name. We have asked Angie's List to investigate this review. This member has not responded to their requests.

I asked Sweatman Young for a quote on a project to increase the size of my concrete pad off my back door and to build a patio above it. Their quote was $14K. The other two quotes I received from other contractors was $5200 and $4400.
Description of Work: Provide quote.

It appears that the bids may not be like for like. Our estimate was for the construction of a 12' x 18' shed style roof over the patio and to extend the concrete slab 6' x 10'. Our bidding process is based on the specifications you provided us and our 26+ years of job cost history. Thank you for the opportunity to bid your project.

When they responded two weeks later than they promised, the quote offered was ridiculously overestimated. My project is about install a natural gas cook top to replace the present eclectic one. The new gas cooktop we bought is 3 inches wider than the old one, so the project will involve cutting the granite countertop 3 inches wider either side and building a supporting frame for the new gas cooktop as well as reconstruct the underneath cabin to accommodate the new control panel of the new gas top in the front. I also want to add stainless splash panel on the wall under the exhaust fan as well as on either side of the wooden cabin. There is natural gas supply built-in in the cabin underneath the cooktop as well as electrical plugs. The quote came from Sweatman-Young Corp was $27,488.88 total, which is totally unreasonable.
Description of Work: I contacted the provider right after I got their contact information from Angie's list. I was told they will respond to me per my home improvement project with a quote next week. They did not respond until three weeks latter.

Response from Sweatman Young Inc
This review is disappointing and not completely accurate. The review indicates that we performed the work, but actually we only bid it. This client contacted us via phone us on December 3rd, 2014, we returned her call the same day. Bill Sweatman met with the homeowner on December 11th, 2014 and the Scope of Work was written December 29th, 2014 and emailed on January 6th, 2015. The bid was not for $27,488.48, it was for $19,988.48 (including tax). We apologize if our pricing was not to your satisfaction and we wish you the best.

They’re phenomenal. It’s been a three-year project. We’re just taking a little bit of a break. They do everything they say they’re going to do. They give you the costs upfront. They actually help you save money by finding a more efficient way to do something. They clean up everything. They’re polite. They follow through any problem you run into. I haven’t had any problems with them.
Description of Work: My general contractor is Bill Sweatman of Sweatman Young Inc. They remodelled 2/3 of our house and we have 1/3 left to go. They pulled walls down just to reconfigure everything in our house, added on patios, remodelled kitchen and remodelled bathroom.

Description of Work: Replaced front entry door, basement entry door, and replaced stairs from basement entry door. |Excellent. From first contact, all involved have been professional and friendly, providing quality workmanship. Our house being 90 years old, requires flexibility as a job progresses, and this requires experienced decision making. Sweatman Young kept us involved at all points of the project, and made it look easy. The finished work is beyond my expectations, and I will certainly call them again for future projects.

Description of Work: There was cracking in the floor of my house with every step, I had to have them come in and fix it. They tore up the carpet and performed all the necessary work , and now I can walk around without any pops or noises!

Contractor was easy to contact and stayed in touch, providing good updates and able to answer all questions. Great follow-up and took care of the major and minor, (but important items to us) items quickly. Billing was detailed and presented as job progressed. The subs showed up on-time and were courteous, friendly and focused on getting the work done. The quality of the work performed was AWESOME! Downside was the project took a little longer than expected (almost 5 weeks) and we underestimated how much effort needed on our part to put everything back together. Lots of dust! One day of house cleaning service was included to help - a nice little extra.
Description of Work: Minor Kitchen remodel. Replaced the various flooring in the kitchen, eating area, hallway, foyer, den, laundry room and powder room with travertine tiles throughout. Floor heated was installed in the den and kitchen/eating area complete with individual, programmable thermostats. A kitchen wall was modified moving water and electrical. The island was moved and gas line and electrical were relocated. Added gas line to outside patio. All floor molding was replaced. Front entry door, side lights and transom replaced beautifully with a new 9 foot door, eliminating the transom. Outside trim replaced and painted to match existing colors of house.

Arrived on time. Sealed off 3 floors of house windows and doors to prevent spread of sheetrock dust. Removed popcorn ceilings from 3 floors of house, repaired sheetrock on 2 floors that had been damaged by water leaks and repaired ceilings where they had dropped over a period of time (house built 1978) . Retextured all ceilings after removal of popcorn and painted. Removal of wallpaper in 2 bathrooms and main hallway, retextured and painted. Removed carpeting and pad, nail strips and staples. Overall we were very satisfied with the job; it was completed in the estimated time frame even though there were other issues discovered during the job.

We have been using Sweatman-Young for all of our remodeling for over 20 yrs. Their work is not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Very honest, caring, conscientious. They come in when they say they will, and are finished when they say they'll be. Finished product is fabulous. Simply the best. Very happy.
