"Excellently. He showed up to do the estimate at the time and date he said he would. He followed up with status when he said he would. He reconfirmed a few days before starting the work and completed the work within the estimated time and at the estimated price. His crew and he did an excellent job, and a neighbor requested that Brian do his house as well. His crew were professional and mature workers. We plan to use him on another house within our family within the next year or so.

"Although the project turned out to be more complicated and took longer than expected, this had little to do with
the builder or his sub-contractors. Primarily the delays were due to weather, financing issues, and poor
communications on the part of the town's code enforcement officer.
Let me address this last issue first. Everything seemed to be alright until the pad was poured. The code
enforcement officer was upset that she was not notified prior to the pouring of the cement so she could inspect
the forms and re-bar. This and quot;misunderstandingand quot; occurred because the CEO never communicated to either myself or the
contractor at what points during the project she wanted to perform inspections. However, from this point forward
the CEO seemed to question every aspect of the project. Demonstrating considerable restraint and diplomacy, most
of the time the contractor bowed to her demands (he was much , but drew the line at her trying to force him to
install a water shutoff valve in a location that would likely have caused our well pump to burn out. In this
case Greg Bragg stood his ground, backing it up with State of Maine statutes.
With respect to the weather, June 2013 was one of the wettest on record for Maine. As far as financing, the
magnitude and cost of the project exceeded what we had budgeted and we found out just how difficult it is to
secure financing for rental property, especially if you are setting up a used mobile home. Consequently, we had
to break the project into two phases.
The demolition of the old house and initial site preparation went very smoothly as can be seen in this 8 minute
YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWaJEgV2iJE).
Getting the mobile home onto the pad was a bit more interesting since the ground was still very muddy from all
the rain we received in June and July. Fortunately, Greg Bragg of Bragg Builders had the foresight to keep a
bulldozer onsite. As can be seen in this 8 minute YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioZ1IFl-3CQ),
the bulldozer was absolutely essential.
The only other issue related to Bragg Builders portion of the project was a ruptured water line. Prior to
constructing the gravel pad a brand new water line was installed and was even packed in sand to ensure rocks
would not rupture the line. Unfortunately, a rupture occurred anyway. Fortunately, the contractor promptly
installed a new water line, at no charge to us.

"After having some other work done, we realized that the back deck supports had rotted out and needed immediate attention. The front porch also needed some attention in the near future. I had spoken with Troy Pearl on a prior occasion about potential work that needed to be done and we were planning some other home improvements using Pearl Contractors.
When the more urgent issues arose, I contacted Pearl contractors first to see what was possible. They were so prompt in their response, so professional, and so well-organized that the work started in about a week, went smoothly and quickly, and turned out very well.
They were responsive to all concerns we had along the way, and addressed problems that were not immediately apparent before the work started, billing us on a time-and-materials basis rather than via contract. We are pleased with the work that has been done and we would use them again. They get high marks and we would recommend them to others.

"My front windshield had two gravel hits on it. I am new to the area and randomly called this company, mainly because it was closest to my house. I lucked out in that my insurance covered the entire cost (which Portland Glass informed me of) and didn't have to pay for a thing. They were very professional on the phone and in person. They gave me great directions on how to get there, the waiting area was clean and comfortable, and the technician showed me what he was going to do before he started the work. Afterwards he went over the repair with me. I am very please with them. I am bound to get another gravel hit and will definitely go back to Portland Glass."
