Brawn Construction

Description of Work: We have had the very fortunate opportunity to know and work with Nick Brawn, Brawn Construction, Yakima, Washington, for many years. He helped build our Yakima home with Doug Hughes (DH Contruction) in 1995. Since that time, we have successfully employed Nick for several major home repair and deck work, which he has admirably performed within budget and schedule. In 2011, we successfully employed Brawn Construction as a general contractor for major home (unanticipated) insurance repair work primarily related to water damage. This work included extensive repairs to our external roof (top and below front entrance area), front door threshhold area (exterior and interior), and interior front great room walls, hardwood flooring, and finish trim. This work cost thousands of dollars. Nick was exemplary in his communications with us, our insurance company, and his subcontractors. He also was outstanding in overseeing and performing this work within agreed to schedule, budget/funding, and progress payments. His meeting schedule was particularly outstanding as our family had to move out of the house during the duration of the repair work for about a month, which was very stressful. Notwithstanding, the finished work product was very successful and we were very happy. We have before and after pictures of this work should anyone like to contact us. Currently, we are employing Nick (Brawn Construction) for a major downstairs bathroom remodeling project which will begin the week of February 11, 2013. Other future home remodeling work with Brawn Construction is under discussion. As we have been very successful and fortunate to have and to be able to continue working with Brawn Construction, we will work with no other Yakima area contractor for the type of aforementioned work.

Description of Work: started April 27th 2012 He knocked out the old walls of the pantry in the garage and had ONLY put up a stud wall frame...nothing else!! Then the first week in Sept 2012 he did the insulation....then nothing. Then on approx. Oct.1st. he did a shoddy sheet rock job. He kept coming up with excuses....after awhile it gets old. I was so patient, I am embarrassed.
