Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Covington, LA

"SUMMARY: SES did high quality work. They stuck to the projected cost. They finished within the estimated timeframe (or at least close enough). PRELIMINARY STAGES: SES promptly returned our initial call and set up a visit by their estimator. Within a very reasonable timeframe (maybe a little more than a week), we had the estimate in hand. In contrast, we were shocked to see how difficult it was to deal with some other contractors--even in the early stage, when we were trying to give them business. DETAILS OF THE JOB: They gutted ~50% of a ~180 sq ft bathroom to the studs; did some framing/re-framing; removed a large tub and patched in some hardwood; completely re-did the mortar bed/tile/plumbing for the shower; re-routed an HVAC intake to a different part of the house; moved/added some plumbing and electrical; installed a new commode and tile floor in a new toilet closet; hung crown molding; installed a double vanity with a stone top; hung a large mirror and frameless shower door; built out 2 closets. QUALITY. Their renovation was high quality and fit perfectly into our 1930’s arts-and-crafts home. They found, sanded, and painted an old 5 panel door to match the doors in rest of the house. The salvaged/refinished pine floor fits into the existing pine floor seamlessly, and the new trim work matches that in the rest of the house. Their tile guy did an outstanding job on the shower—floor to ceiling with a bullnose and a niche. The subs they used for the vanity/stone top and for the mirror/shower door did a high quality job. We designed our closets and the trim carpenter built them out perfectly (soft-close drawers and all). COMMUNICATION. This was a big asset to the SES experience. Ashley kept us posted with an email almost every day. We knew what to expect when we got home from work, as well as what to look for the next day and the rest of the week. In the rare event that there were surprises or delays, Ashley would let us know right away as well as what the resolution would be. While Ashley was the main line of communication, the owner, Shawn, was very accessible as well when necessary. PROFESSIONALISM. All the people we interacted with were professional and punctual. The workers were respectful of us and our home, and they did a great job cleaning up every day. With very few exceptions, people were at the house every weekday (and even some weekend days), from the start to the finish of the project. THE UNEXPECTED. As the work proceeded, some minor structural damage from the old shower had to be addressed and the hot water heater needed some repairs. These were taken care off in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Otherwise, there were a few miscommunications regarding the electrical rough ins, a plumbing valve, the closet build outs, and the shower door. All these were very minor and easily addressed. Along the way—and especially as things neared the end—Shawn made sure we had everything exactly the way we wanted it. This was our first time hiring a contractor. Before our renovation, we had heard many contractor-related horror stories. Our experience with SES was drastically different. We are already scheduling another project with them."

"Our whole project went great from start to finish. From the design work to completing the renovations in our home. Matthewâ s team consistently showed up everyday and finished our project earlier than expected!! Our finished project turned out great and would recommend Lamp Design + Build for any of your design and renovation needs!"

"Mr. Martinez did the repair very quickly and competently. Very favorable impression thus far. However, as of the review date we have not yet had a major rain after the repair date to provide a test of its effectiveness."

"It’s good to know someone knowledgeable and trustworthy for home repairs and renovations that does great work! I highly recommend Veteran Home Repair Services"

"Awesome customer service, after hiring someone else who failed to get the job done in 2 weeks. Kennon did all 3 drafts I needed in 24 hours. He also helped me find a general contractor I needed. Even after being paid he still answers my calls if I have questions or need changes. I couldn't ask for more."

"Debbie contacted me immediately in May when I purchased a $149 for 4 hours of wood rot repair.   The weather was a major factor in the delay of the work being completed.  2 men came out and repaired a large hole in the fascia and other wood that had rotted.  They were quick, professional and cleaned as they worked. They went above and beyond in their work.   My only concern was the delay in communication of when the company would be out to do the repairs.   I emailed her thru the Angie web site, with no response.   I called her and she told me the weather was placing them behind in other jobs.  Then she called me two hours before the men came out to do the repairs.     I would use their services again.  I have Debbie's cell phone number and this is the easiest way to contact her. <br />"

"I emailed Jason through Angie's List. He was busy on a job but responded immediately. When he arrived at my home he was extremely informative, educated and aware of the entire process the project would entail. He submitted a bit within 24 hours and I hired him.  When he arrived to the job he worked efficiently and quickly to resolve the leaking bathroom.  When he demo'ed the existing structure there was never a mess, or any type of uncleanliness at all. He was extremely professional going up and down the stairs carrying the debris that could have scratched my wood flooring but didn't. He removed the toilet, and the bathtub without any harm to surrounding areas or wall. His work is remarkably level, accurate, clean and pristine.  When he was finished he did other small minor issues around the house as they became needed.  He repaired the sheetrock in my living room (where the leak traveled) without a seem or difference and without having to redo the entire ceiling.  He repaired the bedroom sheetrock that had some damage and then within a week he left and moved on to another job. <br /> I cannot tell you what an awesome experience it has been in words. To know you can trust someone to adhere to their word (estimate) to do a clean and professional job to the extent he did.  He has earned every single one of his 5 STARS from this very satisfied woman.  The bathroom tile and flooring looks so good that I keep starring at it.  I will continue to use Spectrum Reno time and time again because I understand the difference between a company who charges less and does a poor job verses having someone you can trust in your home to do the job correctly. Well done.  Thank you. <br />"

"Mr. Goodworth's crew responded quickly and started excavation and form installation. Pour was conducted on 03/20, the forms was removed on 03/21 and Mr. Goodworth arrived the same day and collected the total amount noted below. I have not seen him since, but I discussed the holiday repairs the the same day and the following Mondays for 3 weeks. He assured me these would be repaired on 03/21 and each of the following phone conversations. It is apparent that he has no intention of effecting holiday repairs so a warranty is a pipe dream. Issues: 1. Raised lumps on top of the finished slab and voids in the concrete along the side (they did not work the sides nor use a vibrator to insure no holidays along the sides; poor workmanship). These have not been repaired and will be something I will have to do personally. 2. They were careless about dropping and not recovering nails during form installation. After recovering 5-3" nails on the drive, I scanned the entire area with a magnet and recovered an additional 5. Keep in mind this is a driveway for two vehicles and for the use of commercial vehicles making deliveries. 3. When Mr. Goodworth and I reached agreement as to price for the works, it was originally $1900.00. The price was worked up from a 4" slab ($1650.00) with an additional $250.00 for an additional inch of concrete. When payment was requested, it had jumped an additional $50.00. While $50.00 is not a lot of money, it gives an indication of the contractor. I have to accept some blame for this because I did not request a signed contractor for the works. Conclusion: Angie's list gave Mr. Goodworth a stellar rating of an "A" in concrete work. It was the sole reason I selected this contractor to do the work. Photo,s can be supplied upon request. I can be reached at 985-892-9639 to discuss an issues on Mr. Goodworth's shortcomings."

"David and his crew were really great to work with. David is friendly, helpful with painting suggestions, and very easy to communicate with. His crew did really high-quality work and kept our building impressively clean for a major painting project. David was also really flexible as I kept adding new tasks to their job. One example was a new drywall wall that a previous contractor left unfinished. David's crew sanded and textured the wall, and when the texturing didn't match perfectly with other walls, they sanded the entire wall down again and re-sprayed a different texture at no added cost. I also appreciated the final walk-through where David had his crew on standby to address anything I wasn't happy with, and he said if I found anything wrong down the road he would send someone out to make it right. We would definitely use this company again."

"Chuck was the contractor. He took time with us. Showed us some of his work in other houses. Helped us make decisions. Very helpful. We felt he was reasonable and felt like he really cared about the work."
