Thank you so much for the great score. I really appreciate it. We have done many projects on this house over the last decade together. We really appreciate all the return business. I can't wait to see the new bathroom results we are currently finishing now.

We had no idea what the job would entail when we brought Rick in. We just knew that the front porch was sagging more and more every year, which was causing the porch windows and door to warp. In fact the porch was beginning to separate from the house because the wood pilings that held it up had begun to disintegrate. Rick correctly diagnosed the problem and offered us an affordable solution that would halt the sagging, repair the porch, increase the value of our house, and allow us to make plans to make better use of our porch. Rick worked in the un-heated space below our porch during 3 of the of the coldest weeks of the winter and did a beautiful job. We are very happy that the porch floor was successfully and perfectly leveled with no damage to the porch itself or to any of the windows. Our porch is It is ready now for new windows and use as a true 3-season space.
Description of Work: Rick raised and shored up our sagging front porch, leveled it, and replaced disintegrating wood pilings with cinder blocks in the former coal bin under the porch. He built and installed temporary headers over the course of 3 weeks and raised the porch up 3 1/2". He made sure that the porch stayed tight to the house during the raising process, and worked with a mason to lay the cider blocks. He also doubled all floor joists to 4x6's to increase the weight-bearing capacity of the porch floor. He also replaced our front door, which was necessary because the old door no longer fit. It was a very complicated and unusual job calling for a flexible and expert contractor.

We were very pleased with the project from start to finish. Rick Larson, owner, is professional and responsive. He always responded promptly to our questions/concerns and always asked us if we had any questions for him. We felt his pricing was fair compared to other quotes and he kept us updated as the project progressed so there were no surprises at that end. Everyone that he works with was friendly and does quality work. We are very pleased with not just the quality of the materials used, but the quality of the work that was performed. They do things the right way from start to finish.

We hired Larson Builders, owned by Rick Larson, to do a very complex remodeling job on our house and are extremely pleased with the work done. We found Rick to be personable, reliable and resourceful throughout the renovation process. He puts customer satisfaction above all else and was extraordinarily responsive to our concerns and questions. We were impressed with the quality of his sub-contractors. Rick has a great relationship with them and managed this very complex project efficiently and economically. We were especially pleased by the work of Dixon Drywall and Texture and Northside Electrical. There was very little downtime once the work began; disruption to our household was minimal. I was able to work in my office throughout the renovation. Rick puts a high value on clean-up; the work areas were picked up and vacuumed at the end of each day. Rick provided us with a detailed accounting of all work and associated costs which he updated with us as the job progressed. If Rick did not know the answer to any of our questions, he let us know, did the research, and if necessary, brought in experts who could do the work. For instance, he coordinated with the furniture makers, Black and Sons, to have our front door refurbished and made weather-tight. Rick consulted with a mason and roofing expert to take down the chimney and re-shingle the leaking area of the roof. Rick provided creative solutions to several areas of the project. We decided to expose the bricks of the chimney in our dining room. Rick came up with a creative and beautiful way to build the moldings and wall around this feature. In the attic, Rick's created gorgeous, clean lines in the process of furring out the rafters. The finished attic is quite stunning. Venting the oven involved another creative solution because of the difficulty he encountered while fitting the duct work into the space available. The job was certainly not cheap, but considering the huge amount of work that was done and the complexity of the project that required the work of so many people, we feel that it was done most economically.
Description of Work: Our older house needed extensive insulation in the exterior walls and attic, but before this work could be done, the old knob and tube wiring had to be brought up to code on the first floor. (Upstairs, the wiring had been replaced several years earlier.) In addition, we wanted our old plaster walls in the living and dining rooms improved. ¼" Drywall was glued and screwed on top of the old plaster walls; moldings were repaired, the ceiling was dry-walled, and rooms were repainted. Nine new windows were installed. Up in the attic, a leaking chimney was removed down to the attic floor, rafters were furred out, insulation sprayed in and drywall installed, mudded and painted. New electrical was also installed in the attic. In the basement a new water heater was installed and vented outside through a side wall. In the kitchen, a cabinet was cut down and re-shaped in order to accommodate a microwave/vent over the oven, which was then vented through a soffit to the outside with the installation of an over-oven microwave/vent.
