Stephens Construction

I needed a ramp built on the front of my house for wheelchair access. I have hired Stephens Construction to do all of my construction needs. They give honest bids and do excellent work.

They installed a patio cover. The cost was very reasonable. The quality of the material was excellent. They met the bid estimate and timeline. They did an excellent job. Quick and very good. I love the cover. Lee is very customer focused and a pleasure to work with. He is good to work around my schedule and meet with me when it is convenient for me. Would hire him again.

This addition was a very positive experience. Stephens Construction were very professional. The quality of work was excellent. They lived up to the bid estimates, They cleaned up after each phase of the project. They answered all my questions and provided advice. The project was completed in the proposed timeline. They provided frequent status updates. I would hire them again!

Stephens Construction Company does exceptional work and are very knowledgeable about the industry. Our prior deck was so poorly built and such substandard materials used, it was unsafe to be on it and it was less than 15 years old. Also, we were told by two other contractors that we could not put in a concrete pad under our deck because of our location on a flag lot, plus increased the price to bring the materials to the back of the house because you cannot access it from any side. Lee not only knew how to make this happen, but it was a painless process for us. Lee and Todd built us an amazing deck with a roof and a pad underneath for less than the other two bids we received for just the deck and roof. Plus, the recommendations made by Lee for changes to our ideas made the deck more durable and will stand up to weather and time. There were a couple of items which came up during the construction we had not planned on, but there always are, just watch the DIY channel. Lee brought these items immediately to our attention and let us know of the additional costs and gave us options when applicable. I can’t say enough about his knowledge on the best way to build a deck, things we never thought of. We wanted a deck which will last us for a long time to come and that is exactly what we got. We have friends who tell us if there is ever an earthquake the house will go before the deck. Both my husband and I work from home and the construction caused minimal disruption, Lee just took care of everything. Lee ensured everything was up to code; which the old deck was not even close to and my home was a model for another contractor. He is meticulous and conscientious in his work and the work of his team. The Quality of materials used, Lee’s professional management of the project, and skilled workers who knew what they are doing made this project the best we could wish for. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to do a deck or any other remodel on their home.

First class workmanship. Excellent bid rates.. No hidden charges, their proposals explain every detail that they are going to do. Lee and Todd's personalities are excellent! I highly recommend them.for any type of work.

STEPHEN���S CONSTRUCTION REVIEW This review is solely the experience that we encountered when we hired Lee and Todd from Stephens Construction. SELLING ABLITLITY: For someone that has been in the busy as long as he been. There should have not been has so many unexpected expense that should have been negotiated up front during the contacting period. Did not explain to us what his contractor license allows him to fix. He really didn���t go above and beyond, unless there was a benefit. CONTRACT: Prices not negotiable, what is included and what is not included. DO NOT MAKE ANY ASSUMPTION. INTERPERSONAL SKILLS: Loses his temper easily and can���t handle criticism. Lays blame on the homeowner or subcontractors. Not good with follow up. Does not communicate well with the homeowner or tries to play against them each other. TIME MANAGEMENT: Starts work between 10:00 am ��� 12:00 noon and will stay past 6:00 or later without advising homeowner. Took numerous smoke breaks and the house smelled like smoke. He would also conduct business well working, which would took time away from us. Or promise to be on the job and doesn���t show up, but will text and say that he is will be there and still doesn���t show up. Use the excuse to extend the end date because of subcontractor or homeowner. COST MANAGEMENT: For the quality of work he was overly paid. Made purchases of items prior to discussing with us, which were not what we wanted, then this became a point of contention/conflict. When asked for invoices of items purchased (as promised in pre-contract discussions) numerous excuses made, and many invoices never produced. CRAFTMANSHIP: Drywall and Painting Excellent Floor Reinforcement Excellent Windows and Doors Installation Questionable Framing Questionable Electrical Questionable Plumbing Questionable ��� Tiling Questionable COMMITMENT ��� Never finished the job. Abandoned the job after we criticized the tilework in the bathroom. ADVICE- ���READ THE CONTRACT���
