"I'm retired and needed to move my disabled son and his wife into our basement to save costs. I went out to get bids in Sept. 2014 with the goal to have the 2 rooms and bathroom finished by year end. My son's apartment lease was up at the end of January 2015 and this timing would allow me one month to do the painting myself and move their things at a leisurely pace into the basement. I received 3 bids for almost the exact same price, all assuring me they could meet the end of year schedule. IPS (Fred Castro) had the best design (better materials and moving of existing plumbing to allow a nice uninterrupted ceiling). I discussed reducing the IPS price but Fred refused, saying he prided his work and wanted to do a good job. Since IPS had a better design at the same price and schedule as the other contractors, I awarded the project to Fred on Sept 15. A Dec 1 start date was in the contract and a finish date of Dec 31. Fred started the first week of December. On Dec 7, Fred adjusted his estimate to add a little to the material costs but also extended the finish date to Jan 23. This left me with only 1 week to paint and move my son in but I felt I could handle that. On Dec 21, Fred adjusted his estimate again to add a little more to the material costs and include the cost for the replacement of an existing drain line that was in bad shape. The schedule was not changed and I agreed to the change. Fred did not finish by Jan 31, so I had to move my son and his wife into a spare bedroom and put all their belongings into our garage. In early February, I asked Fred to do the painting since I would be slow doing it and I wanted to move my son ASAP. On Feb 11, Fred notified me that I would be charged $1500 for the painting. I was surprised by this since the only reason I was having him do the painting was because he did not meet the schedule but I figured we would work it out when he was done. Fred took 7 more weeks to finish the job. The final bill from IPS revealed an addition 14% increase in costs from the last estimate. Overall, excluding the $1800 for the drain line addition, this project escalated 21% in costs and the schedule went from 1 month to 4 months. Upon negotiation, Fred agreed to reduce the bill by 10. Fred did excellent work and the basement is beautiful. Fred did not take shortcuts or perform work-arounds as the other two contractors had planned and that was the reason I selected IPS. In my opinion, the 10% cost reduction is not adequate for the significant delay in the schedule and hardship this meant for my family. The delay is significant enough that I believe Fred never expected to meet the schedule and had hoped his excellent work would appease me. Fred did ask me why we were being so nice during the construction if we were upset and frankly I was surprised that he felt the schedule was not an issue. Fred was very prersonable, responsive, considerate and pleasant during the construction so I felt the final price negotiation would go well. However, Fred focused on all the good work he did and would not discuss the original estimate and schedule, essentially telling me that the schedule is unimportant as long as the work is high quality. I feel a 20-25% cost reduction is more in line with a schedule that went from 1 month to 4 months. Bottom line to me: Fred did excellent work, his cost estimating could have been a little better but his schedule estimating was either terrible or misleading. I would recommend Fred from 1) quick jobs or 2) larger jobs when scheduling is not an issue.
