"Iâ ve worked with many different contractors through the years, some good, some not so good and others that are top notch. Lovejoy Construction falls into the top notch category. It was a multifaceted job due to a flooded section of the house. Carpet, flooring and walls in three rooms need to be removed. At a quick pace, they removed and replaced sub-flooring and walls, repainted walls, had bathroom flooring replaced and the insulation and vapor barrier under the house replaced. Ryan Lovejoy is a great communicator, that kept me informed every step of the way. Ryan as well as his assistants are well mannered, polite and thoughtful. I could not be more pleased with the whole process. Truly thankful I found them and would highly recommend them to anyone."

"The approximate cost was $1300. The guys were nice. But the paint job isn't holding up that well. From the wall were my alarm is when the wall gets touch the paint is coming off. I don't think they did do a primer. It's not holding up I can see were it needs to be touched up in hallway and the laundry room where they painted and same in the kitchen. They were kind of in a hurry so they didn't spend time on prep. That's the kind of comment I will make to future customer. It looks good but they don't do a lot of prep. There were areas that have to be touched up.  It's not even a full year yet. They kind of want to get in and out.  Initially he came in with a price. He verbally gave me quotes for each room and because I am a female. He went outside to his truck to come back with the final bill and it was 3 times than what he said for each room. I say to him I guess I have to give you a not so great review on Angie's List because the quote and the integrity of all that is part of why I use Angie's List. When I said that he called me back and said oh I'm so sorry I don't know what I was thinking. That wasn't the quote I wanted to give you. I am like oh my god if I hadn't said that this guy will be taking me to the cleaners. They were on time. They were professional."

"Within days of purchasing the deal, I received the instructions and paper to draw my table templates. The table has 2 drop leaves plus 2 additional leaves that can be inserted in the table. The templates were pretty easy to draw. The finished pads were delivered in a very short time. They fit the table and each of the 4 leaves perfectly and magnetically lock together to keep them aligned when on the table. A year and a half later, I still love these pads."

"Overall, it went pretty well, though there were some gotchas that future customers should be wary of. 1) At the time of the estimate, I specifically asked about whether a permit was needed and if so who was responsible for getting it. FiveStar indicated that a permit would be needed and getting it was their responsibility. However, they did not get it. A city inspector caught them doing unpermitted work on the final day of installation. He was kind enough to let them finish what they were doing with the instruction that they rectify the permit issue afterwards. FiveStar told me that they were trying to save me money by skipping the permit. At no time had I indicated that cutting legal corners to save money was an option. In fact, I would have thought that my questioning about the permit process would have conveyed my interest in doing things according to the city regulations. (I think they were actually saving themselves some expense and effort.) If the inspector had caught them at a different time in the process and been less accommodating and enforced a stop work order, I could have been left with gaping holes in my house for several days while the permit issue was resolved. Lesson learned: ensure that workers have the appropriate permit in hand when they show up for work. 2) I had expected that the house would be tidied up each day after work was completed. That was not the case. Drop cloths and debris cluttered various rooms. This was not a huge deal in my case, but it is something for future customers to clarify with the company. 3) The workers did some repair of cracks in the wall by a couple of the windows. It appears that the mud was flung somewhat sloppily. I found globs of it on adjoining walls and on nearby furniture. Fortunately, the furniture was already somewhat worn, so I could take this in stride. Lesson learned: if you have furniture or other items that you want to ensure are well protected, do it yourself, even though the contract says that they will cover furniture and use drop cloths. 4) Some of the screens did not fit properly, leaving gaps for insects to get into the house. It took two attempts to get the right-size screens. The first attempt failed because the replacement screens were not ordered at the right size, according to the manufacturer. I don't know why the original screens didn't fit properly. This was resolved with some patience (since the screens had to be made to order). Proper fit of the screens is something to watch out for."

"In addition to replacing all our windows in the house, we were starting a kitchen and masterbath remodel.  The timing of the window install was crucial to coordinate with the remodel.  We also wanted year end pricing, which was a substantial savings.  We interviewed two companies and chose SGK. We would have interviewed a third company to be thorough, but it was impossible to find another company that did new construction installation that fit our time line.  Rob Rowe (our salesperson) is an up front and "real" person.  Did not come across as a salesman or try to up sell us like the other company's representative.  The price was $8000 less than the other company for comparable windows (Anlin windows) and same type of installation.  

Our goal was to have all the windows installed before our remodel started, but the installation date was delayed due to the rain.  We were in contact with Deanne (not sure her actual title) at SGK many times to coordinate the installation and she spoke with our contractor to make sure the kitchen window was installed at the right time.  In fact, SGK installed the kitchen and bath windows earlier than the other windows to coordinate with the demo.  

This was the only real hiccup we had with the installation.  When the bathroom windows were installed, the edge of the window and sills were cut back too far due to something with the flange (sp?) nails.  This left a large gap between the window and the wood window sill.  A couple of the gaps were filled with caulking and another left with the large gap.  After discussion that this was not acceptable, a total of 3 window sills had to be replaced.  They now look good.  My take on this incident is that there was a lack of communication of why there were gaps when the windows were cut and it was not adequately communicated to us that the sills would be replaced at a later date (when the other windows were installed).  There Quality Control person (Edward) was called in right away and he came by the house multiple times  to ensure the installation was all done to our satisfaction.  The foreman on the job was Francisco.  Another worker named Manny was also very instrumental in making sure I was happy with the outcome.  
   
I was assured that this would not happen moving forward and all the remaining windows were installed without incident. We are having to do some minor paint touch up around most of the windows since caulking is used around the drywall and sills. The windows are beautiful (as much as vinyl can be) and the wood trim that was all replaced looks great.  It is primed and we still need to have it painted.  The old windows had condensation and were drafty.  The new windows have no draft and the house is noticeably warmer.  All our neighbors are commenting on our new windows.

"Sid has done some work for me before, and he is always prompt, professional, and friendly.  This time he installed three curtain rods for me in addition to hanging a large mirror on the wall.  He was very careful to make they were mounted exactly where and how I wanted them, and I am very pleased with how everything turned out.  He has a lot of attention to detail, and is very careful and deliberate with measurements, which I appreciate.
