Arnott Construction Services

We have not yet begun the project due to scheduling and lead time on items, but we are under contract and plans are in place to begin the end of February. We have been very pleased with John Arnott and look forward to working with him to complete our project. I will definitely provide reviews when we are complete. Can't wait!!

very well, looks great

Arnott was great. After a full electric rewire we needed our basement ceiling repaired plus multiple holes patched and they did a fantastic job. Props to their cleaning service who came in after to clean up all the electric and dry wall dust.

Mr. Arnott and his company were the best construction and repair company we have ever worked with. From the estimate, to the communication and the performance work, everything was exceptional. The Arnotts went above and beyond and even provided some other services at our request which they were able to help us with.  They came in right at the estimate for time and money, something I've rarely experience when working with home repairs. <br /> From the beginning the communication was very good.  We received an estimate and many helpful recommendations.  They also helped us do some additional work that made sense at the time and yet they also talked us out of some work that didn't make sense to do. I found them fair and honest and I really enjoyed worked with the Arnotts. <br /> The conclusion of the project was exactly the day they said it would be done. They left our house clean and well looked after and frankly, I feel like they pulled off a bit of a miracle, you can't even tell that there was ever a problem with the doorway. I can't say enough great things about Mr. Arnott and his company.  I would absolutely do business with them again. <br />

The project went quite well and we are very pleased with the results.  We?re happy with the quality of the work. We got several bids for the job and John?s was the lowest.  The project came in on budget!  John was flexible and worked with us to stay within our budget when changes needed to be made.  The job did not finish on time, but the delay was due to a flooring change we made, not the contractor?s fault.  John?s crew consisted of his father, sister and one other worker along with sub-contractors.  It was nice to work with a family business.   John promptly communicated with us via email, calls and in-person.  We hope to use Arnott Construction for future jobs. <br />

<p>The contractor came out a few times and brought different people with him.  I wasn't quite sure why there were so many people and so many visits and there didn't seem to be a clear layout expert, there were two cabinet people, one designer and then the contractor.  They provided a number of good ideas which I appreciated.  The schematic that I received however, was not a 3D rendering, it was more a 2D layout with dimensions.  I was a bit disappointed in that, but I really appreciated all the ideas and discussion.  When the time comes for a kitchen remodel, I will have some good ideas for how to layout my challenging kitchen configuration.</p> <br />

I wasn't impressed. They started out and then took forever to get everything to me. That took about 2 months. The idea in the way they advertised showed that they were to give a 3D plan for a kitchen or a bathroom remodel. They came out with the assumption that they wanted to do a remodel but all I wanted was a plan. The final product did not explain the scope of the work. It was unsatisfactory. The communication wasn't great. It was good in the sense that I did not lose a lot of money. If they could not come up with a plan, I'm not sure I can use them as a contractor.

John and his crew did excellent work, and were a pleasure to work with.  John was easy to work with and very responsive to our ideas and changes.  He was always cheery and positive and his pricing was fair and reasonable.  We added some work as the job went along but he was good about giving us pricing for the changes we made and the total cost was as we had agreed. <br />

The design wasn't exactly what I thought. They were very nice and professional and I am actually having him come back in a few days for another estimate.

My sewer backed up flooding almost half of my finished basement.  John promptly called me back after I left my first message and work with me to set a time to review the damage.  He was very good about working with my insurance adjuster to arrive at a bid that aligned well with the insurance estimate.   <br /> There was a laundry list of items that need work including: <br /> * Completely replace old shower and mud pan <br /> * Fix existing incorrectly installed plumbing <br /> * Replace drywall and insulation <br /> * Painting and texturing the new drywall <br /> * Replace missing / damage flooring and trim <br /> * Replace and install damaged cabinetry with new more attractive cabinetry than originally installed before flooding <br /> A few items were done outside of the insurance repair work since I was already having work done, including: <br /> * Install a fan in my upstairs bathroom <br /> * Expand and improve downstairs shower <br /> I was very pleased with John and his crew (thank you Al and Anna) and with the couple of folks he worked with to install the shower walls and glass (whose name escape me).  John communicated with me all during the reconstruction work and moved quickly to make the affected space livable again.  After the work was completed I couldn't even tell where the drywall had been replace.  The paint and textured matched so closely.  The new shower is much better to use and more attractive.  The new cabinetry is of higher quality and looks better than the old items while still staying inside the insurance estimate. <br /> Overall, the best statement that I can make is that I will be using them again for future work I need to my home. <br />

There were some problems - his computer crashed and he lost his first design and so had to come back to remeasure.  I was pleasantly amazed at how hard he worked for a $69 big deal.  The designs are great and I will be calling him when I am ready to do the work. <br />
