Three Rivers Builders LLC

HVAC system totally worthless and had to be replaced after 6 years at our expense. 6 years of constant breakdowns - expensive for us -and them- to some degree.

After almost 4 years, continued rounds of water damage, have to have the "new" roof completely removed and redone a second time (3 years after initial visit) as recently as tonight I have to rip out more drywall because of water pouring through my ceiling that I tracked to a vent in the roof that was not properly sealed. They have been rude, unprofessional, their workmanship is horrible, and they have stopped responding to me all together. In addition, the damaged some of our property, promised to fix and never did, left trash everywhere, and I was told by one of their subcontractors that they do not pay heir trades people either. Steer clear of this miserable company.

.

They were efficient, neat and used top quality products.  The area they fixed looks brand new. <br />

Three River Builders, LLC, were excellent, quick and on time. They blew my dryer vent and it's short and I clean it constantly but it still had a ton of stuff in it. But they were very good and I was very pleased with their service. The price was very fair and was exactly what they estimated. They gave a discount because I was with Angie's List.

Mike and his team are top notch.  Mike is professional, communicative and easy to work with.  He helped us keep a balance between what needed to be done and what was "nice to have," helping keep costs in check.  When the original painting was not completed correctly, Mike personally saw to it that it was redone, promptly, at no extra cost and with sincere apologies.  He's more of a perfectionist than I am, which is saying something.  Truly excellent to work with. <br /> We will definitely work with Three Rivers Builders in the future on other projects in our own home. <br />

We found Mike Cramer, CEO/owner of Three Rivers Builders, through Angie's List and again--as with our other picks from the List, scored a homerun. <br /> Contractors previously interviewed for the job (none from Angie's List) tried to dissuade us from cedar siding for the house because (a) they didn't do cedar siding; and/or (b) they specialized in vinyl siding and they were determined to sell us on an idea which was totally inconsistent with our stated preferences. <br /> Enter Mike Cramer of Three Rivers, whose appraisal and estimate were detailed, clear, honest, and fair.  He spent a great deal of time outlining for us the numerous options along with their advantages and disadvantages, he gave us a start date and an approximate schedule (weather permitting--lots of outside work to be done) and once hired, he honored his commitments to the timetable and quality which he'd promised.  Mike uses highly specialized and skilled subcontractors for each facet of the job and throughout the process, Mike was in evidence just about every day, keeping in close touch with the work crews as well as with us. <br /> Mike sets a very high standard for his designs and for the workers who execute them, so even the smallest details, e.g. window framing, were done to perfection.  What a joy to hire a professional and let him do the job, knowing that it's going to be done exactly right. <br />

Excellent.  Very creative suggestions for a state of the art appearance. <br />

It was a terrible, messy job and required a lot of coordination to match <br /> hardwood flooring, roof shingles, siding, etc.  Since it has now been <br /> over a year, I wanted to report that the work still looks very good and I can <br /> almost forget that the fireplace was ever there. <br /> I have given this company an "A" rating overall.  However, I did have some issues that I feel that I had to be on top of or the repair wouldn't have gone as well.  For example:  Although I had the exact shingle brand and color and this was relayed (as I had had the roof redone the year before), worker showed up with another brand of shingle and had I not been there insisting that they were wrong, I would have had mismatched shingles on my roof.  Being that I have a neighbor with mismatched shingles, I know how unsatisfied <br /> I would have been.  Siding was hard to find but Mike tracked it down.  I found the exact hardwood floor match.  I had some of the wall paint left over and that was done very well.  Looks good. <br /> As a homeowner with a home that I would like to remodel more, it was awful to have to spend this kind of money on removing a fireplace but I think that Mike is pretty fair and even though I felt that I had to be on top of things (I couldn't be on automatic pilot), I feel that the job was done well and in a timely manner.  When I had an issue, Mike was responsive and addressed it and I would hire Three Rivers for work again. <br />

Originally called a local handyman service and after a series of excuses decided to checked Angies List.  Choose Three Rivers Builders.  The next day Mike came out to check the problems and give an estimate.  Mike and Allan agreed that the corner porch support had rotted along with some of the railing.  <br /> After checking the porch roof they found several weak spots.  Allan notices that the caulking on the exterior of the home had dried out and need to be replaced.  Also, after looking at the roof and noticing that the shingle were stiff and not flexible as they should be, he suggested that the roof be replaced. <br /> After discussion with my husband, we decided to have the work done now instead of next year as we were planning on doing. <br /> The work took about 2 weeks due to rain and the special ordering of the porch support. <br /> The progress of the work was checked on a daily bases. <br /> <br /> <br />

He has been very prompt. The estimates have been good. Those are the things I like, it is just making sure that everything is followed through with the estimates and tracking because he is very much on to the contract. It is going to be written down. It seems like they are doing a pretty good job.

it went more quickly than I expected, they were very polite and always made time to go over details with me.

The crew was there when promised, and did a neat, clean job.  Mike was helpful in choosing the accent tiles for the job and spelled out the job timetable in detail.  Each day the workers were there on time and worked a full day.  When the electrician came to replace the fan in the bathroom and add lighting over the shower, he found problems with the existing electrical system.  It was fixed at no additional charge.  When the old tub came out and the new one put in, the new tub was slightly narrower than the old.  Floor tiles had to be found.  Mike did this and they were installed at no extra charge.    All in all, we were very satisfied with Three Rivers Builders and will use them for future projects.  They were always on time and easy to get in touch with.  The quality of the work is very good.  The workers were polite and cleaned up each day

Three Rivers' work was fantastic!  They always arrived and completed their work on time.  The workers were very professional.  They ensured that they understood all my requirements and went above and beyond my expectation. They also ensured that what  I requested was truly what I wanted.  An example of this was when I requested that a floor board be replaced because it looked warped.  When the worker inspected it, he discovered that the floor board was fine.  The floor joist needed to be braced.  After discussing this, he brace the joist, properly correcting the problem.  This really impressed me. He could have performed the work I requested without actually correcting the problem.  Their prices are very reasonable and work is outstanding! <br />

Mike, the owner, personally wrote us the quote for every job.  The price was very fair compared with other quotes.  The Three Rivers Crews are friendly and listen to our comments and concerns and trouble shoot with us if necessary.  They were always polite and pleasant to get along with.  They sometimes even worked on Saturday and Sunday to get the job done.  They always cared about how the finished product looked and we haven't been disappointed with any of their jobs.  It's nice to know the crews by name now.  Three Rivers Builders is one of the best contracting companies we have ever worked with and we are still working with them today.

This project was a doozie!  it involved renovation, addition to an older shore home.  Bringing it up to the expectations we had and wanting it to fit into an old waterfront neighborhood that is changing daily was a lot of work.  The contractor had to work within the confines of the existing footprint  while making the old house retain it old-time charm and adding the new mostly wide open concept look so great from inside and the outside looking onto the site! <br /> We had a lot of rain at that time which was a problem when a roof is removed!  However, we all stayed dry and got thru it. <br /> Mike's crew saw to it that we were fine and minimized any problem situations. <br /> A major project like this is difficult, and we knew it going in, but its always more difficult when you really go thru it.  However, I was still working, my husband was retired, mostly home, and Mike and crew were trustworthy and we did not have any concerns with him being in the house and on the site if we had to be out of the house. <br /> That means a lot nowadays!  Not everyone is honest and trustworthy. <br /> I was so anxious for the rooms to be done I probably drove him nuts, but he was fine and just got it done as quickly as possible.and we thank him for that.

For the most part things went very well.  The bathroom remodel was a major job.  The demolition was quick and everything was cleaned up at the end of each day.  I was able to pick out tile, flooring , cabinetry and fixtures.  I was instructed where to go for each of these items and the service at each site was very professional.  The biggest issue was a problem with the heated flooring.  After some discussion and options the repairs were made to our sastisfaction. <br />  Three Rivers Builders was the most creative contracting company we spoke to.  The bathroom is definitely not a "cookie cutter' room.  We have had so many compliments on the bathroom. <br /> <br /> The bedroom, foyer and hallway painting looks great.  There were some issues with the crown moldings but once I contacted Mike and explained the problem things were corrected immediately. <br /> <br /> Our  house looks so different since we have had all this work done.  The changes have been all for the better.  Our 20 year old house looks classic and updated. <br /> <br /> Our next project is a dining room update and Three Rivers Builders will be doing the work.

Overall, my experiences turned out very well. The company does very good work. They always arrive on time. They finish the work in a timely fashion. They will match any companies offers. I would definitely use them again in the future.

The guys were great! They were always on time, and always cleaned up at the end of each day. Mike Cramer came by every day and checked on the work being done by his guys. He would often notice a flaw (that we hadn't noticed) and would have one of the workers come by the next day to fix it. Great experience, and one of the best companies I've ever worked with.

They did a fantastic job. The price was reasonable. The quality of things they put in the bathroom was great.

This was a tough install for me with 2 dogs and we were locked into front of house. They were working on kitchen, laundry, hall and BR area and this and blocked off bathroom AND basement door entrance. No potty and no water! They did this job on weekend, since I work and needed to keep dogs out of their way. I moved dog food, coffee maker and leashes to walk the dogs on the street side of the house. When they arrived, they moved fridge to the area I was "camping" in. Yeah sodas etc. The project manager came in at scheduled time and waited to guide the work staff. I asked if I could leave and went shopping all day. I came home and peaked at floor and most major tile was done. They said NO Walking on! But I could already see an entire brighter area in my house. I wanted my shower. Day 2 they called from my driveway to complete job. I said come on in. PLEASE! They brought a project manager, but Mike Cramer the President, came out Sunday AM to be sure it was well done and wanted to see if I was okay. I was very surprised, since he called me the evening before to see if okay. They let me walk on to potty and shower, but keep dogs out as grout was laid. Three hours later, we got the go ahead to take back our home. I could not believe the change from old asbestos to clean, bright, and maintenance free area. I am now proud to grab neighbors to come see the wonderful living area. This is a total house changing experience. I really thank Mike and his wife Michele or helping me choose which major jobs to choose first. They were aware that house needs a lot of paint and bathroom work, but I can not do all at once. They helped me choose a first project that made the biggest "bang" for modernizing my home. I am so proud of the entire area!

This was a very good experience. The workers were mindful of the areas they had to pass through and cleaned up at the end of the day. Three Rivers started the job on Oct 13th - to 24th. This was a bit longer than I anticipated. After painting the first bath, the color was too dark (I chose the color) a second color too too Pink! Mike was very professional and kind as we settled on the 3rd paint and it is beautiful.

Mike Cramer is extremely easy to work with. He's honest, a perfectionist, and employs the "customer is always right" tactic, which is hard to find these days. We knew early on that we could totally trust him to do the job right, and if it wasn't right, he wouldn't stop until it was perfect. We asked him to do little things here and there (that he didn't have to do) and he didn't nickel and dime us. He always took our many (MANY) calls and didn't make us feel badly for panicking for no reason. The price we paid was very reasonable for what we got in return. He always left the work area clean and was considerate of the fact that we had a baby among all the construction. We highly recommend working with him and I'm sure we will again.

Three Rivers Builders keep on schedule and within the contract cost. The crew were prompt, professional, maintained a clean working environment at the end of each day; all this from contract award until contract completion. I did survey the market and Three Rivers Builders provided best value for my money. I was so very pleased with the results and they even gave me a new CD/radio under the cabinet.
