"I hired Premium Drainage and Erosion Solutions LLC for building a paver patio in my backyard and burying the downspout. Adrian and his crew did an amazing job. They are thorough professionals and deserve the 5 stars."

"We found about Superior Landscaping on yelp and Angie's list. We wanted to get a patio done in the back of the house. We called three places and Superior landscape was one of them. Not only was their price very reasonable, but when Troy came he answered all our questions with a lot of patience. We would has very specific questions because we were worried about drainage issues, the durability of the patio Etc. He answered all our questions and made us feel really secure. We decided to go with them. They set a date and came promptly on time. About six to seven people came to put the patio and everybody worked together in unison to get the job done. One thing that really stood out that impressed me other than their workmanship was what they did with the dirt that they dug up. They took the dirt into the forest, but they didn't just dump it back there. Someone would be back there to take the dirt that gets dumped out and then even it out so it doesn't disturb the forest. This may not seem like a very big issue but it made me feel that wherever they work, they want to keep the area looking as undisturbed as possible. Very impressive. After the work was done we asked a few more questions to the foreman He answered the questions very easily and with a lot of confidence. I called Troy after the job was done and asked him a few more questions and he reassured us that everything is going to be great in regards to any drainage issues and durability. It was a very pleasant experience and the patio is really great."

"It was an absolute pleasure working with RND Construction. I have used other companies before to clear house lots but I have now found my go to company for future house building endeavors. I have also hired them to do all my dirt work, they’re professionalism is unmatched and I can not wait to work with them again! Nick and Russel will certainly take care of you!"

"Clearing the drain went smoothly. From the moment I scheduled the work this morning, the office kept me informed as to changes in scheduling. The Pipe Doctor sent Luts and Brandon, who talked freely about plumbing issues, eg. best designs in toilets, yet stuck to a tight turnaround. I often look for Angie's List Best Service Awards. Hasn't disappointed me yet. These guys are honest and efficient and they love dogs. What else can you ask for? I would use them again."

"Our project with picture perfect went just fine. We agreed on all the designs and color options after they provided the quote and we signed. The work went fine with the crew and getting the bathroom gutted to start the remodel. All the finish work looks great as well and they have been awesome to work with."

"Steve Norfolk (owner) returned my call quickly, came out to inspect my basement within 24 hours and gave me an estimate that was significantly less then another "national" provider.  He got me on his schedule promptly and his crew came out on time, performed the work, cleaned up after themselves and I have not had a water problem since that time.

"We are very pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend Suncrest to anyone.  John Cantrall, the owner of Suncrest Builders, struck the right tone with us right off the bat.  He responded to our phone call promptly, came out and met us almost immediately and grasped completely the scope and feel of what we wanted to do with our house.  When he sent us his estimate, it was so thorough that we were convinced he understood what the project entailed.
Now at the end of the project, we feel the home is as we always envisioned, and John and his team are wholly responsible for helping us realize our vision.
We worked with Suncrest's architect on the design, which was a satisfying experience.  The architect had excellent ideas but was also happy to oblige us on our preferences.  Part of the way through the project, we discovered that we were expecting a new baby.  The framing of the second floor was just about to begin, and we would need to alter the layout to create a better bedroom for the new arrival.  John worked quickly and cheerfully to come up with a new upstairs plan, which worked better than the original.  That kind of in-the-moment responsiveness meant a lot to us through this project that from our first meeting with John to finished house will have lasted about 18 months.
Bryan, the onsite manager, really keeps things going and has complete knowledge of what is happening on with our property at all times.  He has a great way with the workers and as a client it is always a pleasure to interact with him.  He kept focused and upbeat even when we were feeling uncertain or frustrated, which helps to get things back on track all the sooner.
We can honestly say that each and every person who worked in our house was a craftsman and pleasure to work with.  The carpenters, electricians, plumbers, tile installer (superb!), painters, flooring installers... the people John hires and subs to are top notch.  Our home's quality reflects the quality of Suncrest employees.  We have our favorite workers, people we will genuinely miss seeing when Suncrest is completely done and gone from our day-to-day life, but every person was good and easy to talk to and work with.
Actually, there was one subcontractor we did not get along with well, and John immediately replaced him so that we could work with someone better.  We both appreciated that John heard our complaint and reacted so quickly so that we could have a better experience.
With a project this size, there were some inevitable problems... structural problems that held up work and communication problems that created added frustration.  The structural problems we encountered could not have been anticipated.  In all instances Suncrest worked in a very common-sense manner to correct these problems and build the house so that it was done right.  When beams were rotted or structures were unsound they would meet with us onsite and show us the problems first-hand and explain what was needed to make it right.  In many cases we didn't have any choice but to do the extra work.  However, I felt that John always gave us a fair price for the extra work and in no way price-gouged us along the way.  In fact, I believe our overage on the project was less than 10% of the total project cost (outside of upgrades we wanted for cosmetic reasons).  In this way, John built trust through an arduous process.
 
The communication problems almost were harder to deal with and unfortunately undermined some of the confidence in the project when we felt the most vulnerable.  We were really looking to John for solutions to complex problems that we felt only he could resolve, and it felt like he was pulling back when we needed him most.  Every day and week that passed without an answer or work going on created more stress and nervousness.  Keeping us in the loop, even to say, "I am not yet sure how we will resolve this, but we are working on a solution," would have gone a long way during those times.  We look back on the kind of problems we encountered and realize how difficult they really were to handle.  However, we wish the lines of communication could have been more open.
Overall, the problems we encountered were resolved in a way that was satisfactory to us.  I suppose that is all that matters.  We end this project feeling great respect for John and all the workers affiliated with Suncrest and will think of them often as we enjoy our practically new home.  We were prepared for the worst... we have all heard nightmare stories about contractors... and even though we had a few problems (how could we not?), feel only happiness and a sense that it was more than worth it in the end.
