Get matched with top carport (wood) builders in Cicero, IN

"First and foremost, Coach House builds an excellent garage. They use their employees, and it was put up in one day. The issue is with their sub contractors -specifically the concrete and electrical. The rainy spring delayed the pouring of the concrete, which they could not help. Once they completed the pour, it appeared as though there were rough spots on the floor. I sent pictures to my sales person and his sales manager and was told it was concrete dust. The ridges were clearly visible in the picture. Then I was told it was discoloration and would “cure” over time. No one came out to visually inspect the issue until much later in the build project. Weeks later, the crew came out to do the build and they did a great job. Punctual, thorough, and as mentioned, built a very nice garage. Then we waited for the electrical. They had to make three trips because, 1st they did not have the correct PVC pipe after digging the trench. A week and half later, after having a deep trench left open, they returned. The journeyman electrician left the fuse box ajar, a 1/4” gap where they cut the drywall, the exterior lights on either side of the garage were hung at different heights (I had clearly marked them with masking tape as instructed by the salesperson) and screwed the base of the lights directly into the garage wall vs. using the brackets that were provided. At this point, our frustration level was pretty high. The electrical issues were fixed, and my sales person finally came out to look at the concrete. Realizing there truly was an issue with the concrete, their first solution was for us to have an epoxy floor put down. Second solution was to go halves on an epoxy floor. Neither option was acceptable as we should not have to pay for their mistake. They finally offered to take care of the floor at their cost, but at this point, we had already waited for 4 months for the garage to be complete, and frankly did not want any more of their subcontractors to do any work. After much back and forth, we finalized the invoice. Again, the garage itself is great, but there were too many issues involved with the rest of it."

"I rarely, if ever give 5 star reviews. But, I DO recommend Maynor Construction (MC)! But, 5 = perfection, and nothing is perfect : ) I hired MC for cement siding and sunroom addition project, beginning in June of 22, ending Sep, 22. I will review the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. But, this doesn't cover everything, because Home Advisor only allows so many characters. Finally, this was my first (major) home improvement project and likely the largest investment I will ever make in my home. The Good - Maynor (owner) is a very knowledgeable and a skilled builder, with many years of experience. I appreciated that he was actually on site many days, not only supervising, but also working along side his team. - The administrative staff was magnificent. Responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, and available. Having the right people in the front office can make or break a business. Hire the right people to manage the office and it will pay dividends toward the success of your company...in my humble opinion. - I had fiber cement siding installed on my home, and a sunroom that replaced an old, broken-down outdoor breezeway. This was no easy project and teams of highly-skilled workers were at my home daily, typically from before 8am until nearly sundown - and even partially on Saturdays. We were blessed with very little rain through the 3 months, which accelerated the work. Maynor's team worked very hard, moved efficiently, and maintained a great level of skill throughout the process. The Bad - For the most part, none of my utilities were affected all that much. Utility boxes were moved away at the beginning, were moved back at the end, and worked just fine. I also had a lot of electrical added and moved throughout the project, but alterations and small inconveniences were to be expected. However, there was a problem when it came to Maynor's (unintended) disruption of my ATT Fiber. While there was no cutting of that fiber, the siding was installed over the fiber and it shut down my internet. Maynor's workers claimed innocence, but it was clearly something for which they were likely responsible. The fiber cable box was moved back into place, and when I got home the internet wasn't working any longer. This required ATT to come out and reinstall the fiber cable and box that came into my house from the outside. - Kitchen flooring fix. I have a very small special strip of (tiled) kitchen flooring that had to be removed during the remodel because I wanted a small portion of a wall removed. Years ago, this strip was created with very cool, colored, (intentionally) broken glass tiles. But, sadly those tiles are no longer available. Happily, I found some of the original kitchen tile that Maynor could break-up into pieces and install into the strip. I approved a change order for Maynor to fill-in that strip of flooring, which required some pretty major cutting of the floor and sub floor. However, they cut the floor crooked and at an unpleasing angle. And, while it is not terrible, it is very noticeable to me and I wish Maynor had done a better to cut the area straighter. I can live with it, but someday I will need to replace the entire kitchen floor to maintain the professional look. The Ugly - While I live in a populated area, with restaurants, a gas station, hotels, etc... workers, laboring in extremely hot summer conditions, even with lots of shade, require lots of hydration. Those fluids need to go somewhere! Unfortunately, there were at least two instances (likely more), I personally witnessed workers finding their own ways to relieve themselves - not inside my home, nor at the gas station just next door. I complained to Maynor and they promptly brought in, at their expense, a Porta Potty, which would remain for the duration of the project. But, I had to ask them to include and only after I discovered what was happening on my property. Ove..."

"Michael (owner) was awesome to work with! Came by the house three different times, once on a Sunday, to talk through ideas me look at plant options online with my husband and I. Crew showed up exactly when he said they would and finished on time. They cleaned up well and hauled off all debris. Very happy with the final outcome and will be hiring again to complete border around a new privacy fence."

"He replaced some cedar on my box window. What I liked is I called for something that didn't need to be done. He said that wasn't needed and he could have told me it did. He said that it just needed to be caulked. I appreciated his honesty. He checked my whole house for wood rot. He explained everything first before doing the work. He gave me the receipt for the boards I purchased so I could get my money back from Lowe's."

"I called NuLook Home Service and Mr. Shwartz showed up promptly the next morning at the specified time. Mr. Shwartz was very professional and showed genuine concern for the stability of the porch and provided a quote that afternoon. The quote was reasonable for the amount of work to be done. The next day Danny Stone and Steven showed up promptly and started work immediately. Danny took the time to keep me informed of what he had found during the removal process, what caused the problem and how he was going to fix it. The work took 2 days to complete and Danny and Steven did an excellent professional job to see it was done right. All the railing, posts and rotted wood was removed from the job site nightly which was a pleasant surprise. The painter came on Friday and even came back Saturday to give the porch a second coat of paint and finish the job. I will definitely be using NuLook Home Service in the future."

"Heath Outdoor has done many landscaping projects for us over the last several years. Even though this was just a small project, the service was great and the crew was friendly and efficient."

"Bruce from Silverwood Builders Company gave me an estimate but I haven’t used him.  His estimate was competitive.  I own a 4 unit building down town and one of the condos in it has not yet been redone.  The building is an older building.  It was originally built in the 1800’s.  It was redesigned by an architect in 1919.  I redid most of the units in 2008 but I have got one unit left which I wanted redone for myself.  There is some extensive architectural work that I needed to have done, for example a new kitchen design, changes to my living room wall structure, adding a bath, adding a laundry room and an exterior porch on the back of the unit.  I had Bruce give me an estimate which was round about $80,000.  His estimate is still high considering the work I want to get done.  So I may not even do that work.  I also got in touch with another provider.  I haven’t made a move on anyone yet.  I just don’t plan on investing that much at the time.  However, when Bruce talks about everything that they are going to do; I understand it.  He was responsive.  He was instantly very straightforward.  He talked me through a couple of things that would save me some money.  That to me is a mark of an honest and straightforward person.  I would go to him for estimates in the future."

"Karl Eisele and his team provided a detailed estimate, showed up on time, did great work, then cleaned up before they left the jobsite. It's tricky to match the mortar on an old house, but they did a seamless job. All three men were experienced and professional - all personable and respectful. Everything about this experience was positive.

UPDATED January 2016: This same team came to my house to fix a chimney and liner. Great work for a fair price. They were a couple thousand less than other estimates - including some reliable companies like Bone Dry - but I took a chance on the lower bid because they have done such high quality work for us previously. This was a homerun. They understood both the various challenges of a working fireplace and the look of the Meridian-Kessler exterior. Great work."

"Innovative Garages did a wonderful job for me. They have a great showroom where you can go pick out the colors as well as the type of floor surface. Lisa was very helpful while I was making my selections. They were very flexible with scheduling, and moved me up in the schedule when there was a vacancy. Fritz and the team did a very nice job. The job was done very efficiently and there was no mess to clean up afterwards. I could not be more pleased with the results - the floor is beautiful. Thank you!"

"Quality was excellent.  They paneled the kitchen, put up a backsplash and then painted the paneling."
