Job was completed quicker than expected , which was great. Everyone that worked on my job including the subcontractors where very professional and helpful. I am very happy with how everything came out once it was finished. I will definitely recommend Tisdale Construction to family and friends.

This job was an entire home remodel. It included gutting contents of the house and adding a small addition to front of home. Everything (including roof/windows/exterior siding) was replaced. The renovation took 18 months (weather delayed some work) and we are overall very happy with the outcome. Tisdale Construction took care and an interest in all details and were very responsive to any changes that needed to be made to the original plan. All subs were courteous and did good work. Tisdale Construction has also been very good to follow up after completion to make sure all is well and have made arrangements to have any problems corrected promptly.

The company was very professional from the start. I needed to freshen up an older home, they gave me a few ideas to go with. The new cabinets and granite counter tops came out beautifully, along with new carpet and paint through out the home. The entire experience was great, I will use them again on my other properties.

Tisdale Construction was an excellent company to work with for this project. We needed a concrete window sill replaced in an older home, and they were quick to respond to our request for service. Leading up to the project they kept us informed about the process, and areas that could potentially have issues. They took great care during the project to not damage the existing window when removing it, and completed the project quickly. The price for the work completed was very fair and reasonable. I would definitely use Tisdale Construction for future projects and recommend them to others.

It wound up costing $2000 more than expected and took 2 months to complete. The owner, Steve repeated several times that mine was a small job and that I should be glad they even took on the project. The project manager, Paul was great. In the middle of the project, they had to fire one of their workers due to his not showing up or leaving early with no word. This made me uncomfortable since this worker knew the lock box combo. I observed Steve, the owner, yell at one of his workers for cleaning as he worked. Steve deliberately walked all over the spot the worker had just cleaned to show that he was the boss. I felt that this was childish and unprofessional. Although the finished product was well done and the permits were closed, I would not use this company again because of Steve and his anger issues.
Response from Tisdale Construction
"We're very sorry this Angie'[Member Information Removed] List member feels this way. But we can't help but feel she is frustrated because of the situation the previous owner left the house in: many code deficiencies and non-permitted work. Our company was called by this member into this project, and we inherited a red-tagged permit from a previous owner. We jumped through all the "hoops" the local City put this owner through to rectify this non-code compliance (2 engineers, an electrical company, carpentry, stucco, drywall & insulation were all required by the City). No one could anticipate what the City required to be done until the City completed all inspections throughout the course of the entire job. But we did try to minimize costs to the owner by performing many of the tasks in-house, instead of subcontracting much of the work. And we tried to accommodate this member in every way, including extending her credit to finish the code requirements when she fell short of funds. We charged her zero interest for this credit. Again, we believe this member is frustrated by the precarious situation she inherited from the previous owner. We can't believe she is ungrateful for all the favors our staff tried to do on her behalf."

The end result was terrific. The company was terrific as well. One of the owner, Mr. Tisdale was very helpful, he helped us figure out what to do and and gave us good advise. We are very pleased with the whole job from start to finished. We've used them before and we were very happy, that why we use them again.

Tisdale is very conscientious. Frank Tisdale came out numerous times to examine how the header would be installed. The contract was very detailed with line items breaking down material and tasks. I had other contractors that spent 15 minutes looking at the house and sending a bid the next day with a few bullet points of what they would do. Frank is very easy to work with and rolled with my changes as the job progressed. I was impressed with the workers Tisdale used. They were skilled, polite and they cleaned up at the end of the day. The plumbing, electrical, drywall and siding were subbed out. I was pleased with the results and I would hire them again.

Very professional workers. Very easy to get along with. Did the complete project to my satisfaction. I am handicapped and had to build a ramp. They made sure it looked nice. I am very pleassed.

Tisdale fit our small job into their more "heavy-duty" schedule and accomplished the work quickly & correctly. We and the club members are very satisfied with the job.

Within the first months of completion of the home. Many issues/problems were encountered. He has refused to correct anything. What builder has you remove a door to change an HVAC Filter,? Within 2 months there is paint peeling. "Oh that is a routine maintenance issue..." What paint should start peeling from a new home in two months. I could go on and on. There is a significant list of items this builder refuses to correct. Buyer/homeowner BEWARE. Do Not use this company EVER. They will cause nothing but heartache. You have been warned.
Response from Tisdale Construction
"Our company built a custom home for this Angie's member in 2014, finishing in early 2015. There were some issues the member had with their own design - for instance the A-C closet door they mention. This was their own approved design from an independent architect. They simply didn't like the A-C closet & door after it was built. Normal punch lists were all satisfied during the warranty period. We received written notification from this member that all punch list items were satisfied on August 7, 2015. This member seems to be confused about the distinction between normal homeowner maintenance work and warranty items. We feel we have gone out of our way to perform minor repairs, AND maintenance work (not our responsibility) at this home well after the construction was finished. Months after construction had ended, we received a call from the member about a sliding glass door panel which had just burst. We immediately dispatched our field superintendent who inspected the door and saw that this was an obvious break due to being hit with furniture or some other object . Despite our opinion, we turned this issue over to the national manufacturer of the Florida product-approved hurricane/impact door. The rep from the manufacturer inspected the door later and stated that a collision with a sharp object from INSIDE the home caused the breakage. Communication with this Angie's List member deteriorated after this time, to the point where the member has been issued a trespass warning by the local police department to remain away from our company office."

I found Tisdale Construction on Angie's List. I had gathered about 4 builders to bid for us and I met with each of them. I appreciated that Steve was the owner and he was the one who met us on site. I also liked Steve's straightforwardness and was satisfied with his bid, so we chose Tisdale. I am very happy we did:) We had some early architectural difficulties (not having anything to do with Tisdale Construction), and thru all that I'm thankful for Steve's patience and tenacious attitude at getting things taken care of and back on track. My husband and I were very satisfied with the responsiveness from Tisdale Construction throughout the project and the quality of their work. Steve was always on site, checking to make sure things were running smoothly. Each sub Steve got on board was knowledgeable and reputable. One of the biggest things I appreciated and think is SO important when doing a project like this is communication. I felt Steve wouldn't move forward with a decision unless he made sure he was clear on exactly what we wanted. He was not afraid to ask questions, even double checking on things. I also worked very closely with Hope in the office, who is wonderful. She is a pleasure to work with and knows the business very well. Our home turned out beautiful! Not just beautiful, but sturdy and well constructed. Build to last! Building a home from the ground up is stressful. I don't want to do it again, but if I had to do it all over again, I would definitely hire Tisdale Construction to do the job.

Due to local and FEMA regulations the project was a challenge from the start. Steve and Frank Tisdale worked with us through each challenge, communicated very frequently (we live outside of FL) and consistently offered us options and alternatives, generally resulting in cost savings to the overall project. Also Tisdale was sensitive to the needs of our neighbors and any inconvenience our project was causing them during the long duration of the project. We are very pleased with the overall quality, look and final outcome of the project. in the unlikely event we were ever to take on a similar project we would not hesitate to engage Tisdale Construction.

Insurance claim rebuild garage. <br /> Tisdale Construction Inc was excellent from start to finish ! <br /> They came out for an estimate and explained the insurance process clearly. <br /> They were confident they could do the work in a timely manner and with great workmanship. <br /> Throughout the process the keep in contact with the owner. <br /> Explained each step of the process and followed through on their timeline for completion. <br /> I would highly recommend Tisdale Construction to any customer that is looking for an builder <br /> that is honest and respects the home owner. <br /> Thanks, Steve, Carlos and all the crew who produced a quality garage replacement. <br /> Gpotts <br />

On every construction or remodeling project Tisdale completed all work professionally, thoroughly and most importantly, on time. The Tisdale project management was far superior to any other construction companies that I have used in the past 10 years. Their personnel and sub-contractors always performed at a superior, professional level. <br />

<p>We have been very satisfied with the service, cost, commitment and responsiveness of Tisdale construction, specifically Steve Tisdale.</p> <p>The overall project has been a challenge due FEMA regulations and permitting. Throughout the process Steve and his team have remained very patient, walking us through each phase of the project with a keen sense of the process, communicated in a way we were able to understand and respond to. The overall project is made more complicated by the fact that we live out of state and are only able to visit the job site on a sporadic basis. Whenever issues arose Steve would communicate them in a very timely fashion offering suggestions and recommendations on how best to proceed. I belevie we have taken his recommendations 100% of the time. The expertise and guidance provided by the Tisdale team throughout the project was invaluable. A project of this type and duration could not have been successful without a strong sense of confidence and trust in our builder, which we certainly have had with Tisdale construction.</p> <p>Due to the extended FEMA and permitting delays we often had to find alternate subcontractors from our original bid. Steve and the team worked through each of those issues being sensitive to our budget but not compromising quality in any way. The local knowledge and experience of the Tisdale team again proved invaluable throughout the process.</p> <p>It has been a pleasure working with Steve and his team and I would recommend them without qualification for any home/commercial construction project!!!!</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> 77378 <br />

Steve was great to work with. He came out at the same time as my insurance adjuster and coordinated with him on the scope of work and pricing. His experience in working with insurance companies was evident and could not have made the insurance claim process any easier. <br /> He also coordinated with a local architect/engineer for the required plans for permitting. Steve and his crew are very professional and kept me appraised every step of the way. His quick response and follow-up with details were very much appreciated. <br /> I would not hesitate to use them again for future construction/renovation projects! <br />

<p>At this point, it is hard to separate the contractors from the construction company. We were pleased with the ?guys? that came over to work as they did a great job with the task at hand. Carlos and his crew, were awesome. Always polite and considerate. Carlos worked hard and went above and beyond. Here in lies the problem. The actual company was difficult to work with. The crews were called off the job multiple times to go work on a more expensive project. Needless to say, drawing our project out. Our kitchen is a small kitchen and should not have taken 8 weeks to complete. As the home owner, I had to constantly send emails to the owners asking if there was going to be any work done that day or the next day or actually when will some work be done. I always got back one excuse after another. On another note, we learned that you have to read the quote very well, as it may include taking a wall down but not putting it back. That is considered an ?Extra? and of course an extra is an added expense. The original quote was 31.5% lower than the final bill. I say final bill, but after our final bill, we received another one on some ?Extras? they forgot to charge earlier. Some of the work that was not done right doesn?t matter either. If you want it done right that will cost more money and is considered an ?extra?. We were dissatisfied with Tisdale Construction and their style of customer service. After expressing my concern about the lack of customer service I received back this comment ?Rita, you and Steve have been good customers, and generally a pleasure to work with. That said, you have required extensive attention and you have received it. I have received over 150 emails from you in the past two months and in an effort to ?take care of the customer? as you say, I responded as thoroughly and promptly as possible. Despite the fact that you are not my only customers, I have dedicated extra time and attention to ensure your satisfaction. If at any time you were unsatisfied, I wish you?d have taken advantage of the very open lines of communication we established to address them at the time.? The problem with this quote, is the company failed to realize it took 150 emails to get the job done. Once again it was a daily effort on our part, the homeowners, to send e-mails asking when this and that was going to be done. Will someone show up? What inspection is due? When will they be here? Keeping the owner apprised of our schedule, etc etc. I was appalled at this statement, as we tried every open line of communication, e-mails, text messages, calls etc. I am sadden to write this review, as I said earlier I adored the crews, they were awesome, it was the company I wasn?t impressed with. </p> <br />
Response from Tisdale Construction
"Tisdale Construction Inc. consistently aims to provide our customers with quality work and customer service. The 8 week timeline and contract line items were discussed at length and in great detail with this member before the contract was signed and work commenced. Reviewing the contract in detail is a standard in any business and the responsibility of the customer. “Extras” are costs incurred after commencement and are never charged without express direction and approval of the customer. It is inevitable that customers who are new to the construction process will become anxious about timeline and costs - hence the abundance of this member’s emails. We do our best to ease concerns and inform the homeowner at every turn; within reason. Construction is dependent upon many interlocking schedules, weather, and procedures and is regrettably not predictable to the novice’s content."

They did good work overall, but appalling time keeping and comms. Still waiting for the punch list to be done, Company recently lost an excellent General Manager, and appear to be floundering.
Response from Tisdale Construction
"This Angie's List member is very "challenging." We have not lost anyone, but the superintendent who supervised this project was so annoyed and antagonized by this customer that he refused to do anymore work at the site. This project closed out in early October of last year. We were also warned that our rating for this project on this web site would be lowered (which has happened, from a "B" originally) if we did not do perform certain things exactly to a precise dictated timetable. We're sure this will not be the end of the critiquing process by this member."

Not knowing exactly where and what we were going to find the workman made openings in the drywall at various places throughout the room. Very carefully, skillfully even, he cut the drywall so he could replace it with minimal damage. Found the problem and all areas were closed and patched. Strange job I know but it was a success. <br />

From initial estimate to completion of the project, Tisdale Construction, and especially Chris Dowd, the project manager, were a pleasure to work with. Despite numerous issues that cropped up during the construction of the deck, Tisdale was highly flexible and proposed solutions to any problems as they occurred. Not only was the project managed very well by Chris, all of his crew were professional and very courteous to us during construction. At every turn, Tisdale always emphasized quality. There were a number of delays due to weather and permitting that occurred on this project; but, Chris always kept us informed as to what was going on and his estimate of when work would be moving forward again. <br /> In the end, we have a very beautiful and extremely well-built deck in our back yard that we will know will last for many, many years. We couldn't be happier with Tisdale Construction and look forward to working with them on future projects. <br />
