Get matched with top addition to existing structure builders in your area

"We recently had the unfortunate experience of working with Character Companies Inc., and as government civil servants and veterans, we were deeply disappointed. The price of renovating two bathrooms and installing new LVP flooring at $70K (original quote: $84K) seemed excessive, but we hoped that the quality of service would justify the cost. Sadly, that was not the case, and it has cost us the chance to rent out our home while we are deployed to Iraq. From start to finish, the experience was a nightmare. The project management was abysmal, with multiple delays that extended the timeline one month beyond the agreed schedule. It took over two months to do just two bathrooms and replace flooring when the original timeline was four weeks. This company demonstrated a shocking lack of professionalism and accountability throughout the process. The design work was utterly incompetent, failing to conform to the existing plumbing structure in our bathrooms. The contractor disregarded our repeated attempts to bring attention to design flaws and forced the installation of bathroom vanities by performing a â carpentry fixâ that left us with two top drawers sealed shut, one bottom drawer with a cutout, and one fully functional drawer. One month after installation, one vanity separated from the wall and had to be reattached. Our allegations of Character charging us for high-end fixtures and installing cheaper ones were ignored. The final straw was the damage done to our marble floors. Instead of offering a repair or replacement, the contractor covered it with LVP and then charged us at the end of the project for the extra costs of the LVP that they incurred to cover up the damage! This was deceitful and completely unacceptable. The CEOâ s disregard for customer satisfaction and maintaining basic work standards is unforgivable. The only thing he did well was apologize profusely, not caring about fixing any problems. During a phone call, he admitted that our project was a â dumpster fireâ yet didnâ t offer any concessions. We strongly advise anyone considering Character Companies Inc. to stay far away. Their poor project management, substandard design, shoddy craftsmanship, and unprofessional conduct have left us with a costly mess that will take more time and money to fix. Protect yourself and go with an experienced, reputable company."

"An amazing, super nice guy to work with...great communication and design ideas. I've never seen someone (and his crew) work so hard to complete a job! I would hire again in a heartbeat."

"Archtex and his team build an addition for my house. They did a great jobs, we and the neighbors love it. They finish before the due date. I would recommend them and will hire them again."

"They replaced my beaten wooden deck with a new composite one. The price was more than fair after shopping around. What I liked from the experience was the cleanliness and speed. Everything we agreed on they did in timely manner."

"We talked to several NOVA teams for our job and found Topside Eng., the most professional team in the project management skills, adherence to timelines, and ability to stay within budget. "

"I signed a contract for work to be completed in 4 weeks. 4 Months later, work was finally (mostly) done - but only with extreme nagging on my part and excessive excuses and push back. The contractor only came to the project site if his sub-contractors created an issue (which was often). They dropped my A/C unit down a 10 foot hole, they didn't finish half the projects they said they would and completed the other half incorrectly based on hand drawings and gestures because neither the contractor or I could speak the same language as the sub-contractors, they made promises to show up and never did. Worst of all, they used design plans from a previous contractor that were approved by the city - but didn't use those plans and never updated the plans. The city inspector came and did not pass the project due to this discrepancy, but Vladimir told me it had passed. The city told me the permit expired. So - now Vladimir won't answer my emails and I have to pay someone else to fix it all."

"The original project I hired them for was to replace leaky faucets in both the kitchen and bathroom. Frank, the owner, was responsive and professional. They scheduled the work promptly and showed up on time. Unexpected issues were discovered that required a second trip and additional work. They communicated everything clearly and the additional costs were handled separately and transparently. They also cleaned up after the work was done. I would hire them again."

"We will recommend Installation Services LLC, to anyone who is looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and honest contractor. It is not easy to find a high-quality/ price service company these days. Corrine, Bud, and their team from the start to the end of our project were very professional, committed, and honest. We didn't experience any hard times with Installation Services LLC's team during any phase of our project, which was an unfinished basement. We are so happy with the service done. Moreover, Bud confirmed the two-year warranty, that it's hard to get it with a contractor. Thank you!"

"With so many scams these days, it is hard to trust people. You can 100 percent trust Scott and his team. From the beginning of the process, Scott and his team surpassed my very high expectations. Scottâ s communication is clear and prompt. His prices are reasonable and payment method is easy. His experience working in the county facilitated getting permits approved. His team of contractors are professional, clean and timely. I appreciated that Scott himself managed my construction. When I wanted to change something, Scott would tell me the implications and then, if I still wanted to go forward, worked with me to make that change happen. When we discovered some unfortunate surprise inside the walls of my house or something went wrong (eg. New window delivered broken), Scott and his team made it right every time. Scottâ s honesty, flexibility, and professional expertise made working with him and his team a sincere pleasure. My experience was so good, I am saving money for my next project with Apollo!"
