"Mike with Artios Painting did an excellent job. He was on time, very responsive, and started work right away. He is more old-school and prefers phone calls instead of texting, which worked fine for me and communication was always clear. He kept me informed throughout the entire project and made sure everything was done correctly. The finished work looks great and you can definitely see the improvement in the before and after pictures. I would hire him again and highly recommend Artios Painting to anyone needing quality painting/repair work. He also a jack of all trades. "

"We were very happy with the work that Menting Masonry completed for us.  Our first contact with this company was ten years ago.  We asked them for a bid on basement waterproofing.  They gave us the bid as requested, but also did a thorough examination of the outside of the home.  They recommended we get new gutters and supplied us with a name - Superior Gutters.  They did a fantastic job at a great price, and it did cut down on the trouble we were having frequently getting wet in the basement as well as flooding our sidewalk.  The drain spout was relocated to the opposite side of the house and it greatly alleviated our issue of the sidewalk filling up and channeling into our basement. <br /> <br /> We still got water in our basement occasionally on very heavy rains so I called them back for another estimate. The original sump pump was dumping into the house drain - a big "No" and completely useless when heavy rains back up the sewer drain lines.  The bid was reasonable, but more than we could afford at the time.  We started working on saving up to do the work.  I called back in a couple of years when we had the cash to do the project.  The friendly,organized, professional office manager, Shawn, still had the original bids, and put us on the schedule 6 months out.  An unexpected financial emergency had us in a pinch and I called to reschedule.  Shawn again accommodated us by putting us on the first available opening - 11 months out.  This was just enough time for us to reach our savings goals again and I was very impressed by her forethought to put us on the schedule right away.  I had planned on just calling back when we had the cash saved up again - that would have delayed us another several months to a year!  Their services are in high demand because they do quality work at a good price. <br /> <br /> Along with pointing out the incorrectly draining of our sump pump to the floor drain, Marlin, the project bidder, also pointed out that our utility bathroom and wash machine dumped to the floor drain. This is against code also and would create problems selling the home in the future.  He recommended that we get bids from a plumber to do the floor drain piping at the time of breaking up concrete for the trenches.  He also noted that we had a condensate line from the air conditioner on the furnace unit snaked across the basement floor to the floor drain and offered a thought that they could channel an underground route to the outer trench leading to the sump pump.  All of this forethought and overall project ownership from the time of bid!  This allowed us to save up and have cash on hand and preferred contractors at time of demolition/construction. <br /> <br /> As for the exterior of the house, he noted that we had tied the gutter downspouts underground into pop-up drains.  He noted that he is not a fan of those and that there was a large potential for future issues and reccomended to tie the drains spouts into the sump pump discharge. <br /> <br /> Throughout the project, the work crew showed up early, were friendly, and professional, and did their best to keep the dirty job to a minimal mess.  Make no mistake - it is messy and the work site is not cleaned off entirely every day. However, they do stack the tools neatly to the side at the end of the day.  They also removed our floor mats, hung them on the fence, and put down plastic sheet to collect some of the dirt.  They warned us ahead of time that it would be messy and recommended that we cover anything in plastic sheeting that we couldn't just wipe down.  <br /> <br /> The biggest benefit was that the project lead for Menting Masonry, Marlin Schaub, took it upon himself to really manage the overall project in our absence as we were at work during their labor. <br /> <br /> Not only did he know that it would be beneficial to include additional projects to save cost, time, and energy at the time of bid, but he also had a good, working knowledge of the overall scope of the project during execution - when things really come up! <br /> <br /> He saved us three times on the plumbing aspects of the project: <br /> <br /> 1. He noticed that the drain pipe from the kitchen sink had a hairline fracture.  At the time of breaking out the concrete around that piping, my husband was home and had just drained the sink from washing the dishes.  He noticed a few soapy bubbles and a slight dampness in the area.  The drain pipe was original black iron pipe to the 1930's house.  There was no signs of damage above ground.  That could have been a real issue later on - especially since we would have had to break up the brand new floor and walls to repair it.  Not to mention that it would be quite wet and a real issue before we would have noticed a slow drip underground.  He even took it upon himself to communicate that with the plumber, who quickly agreed to replace it while he was there to work on the bathroom drain pipe. <br /> <br /> <br /> 2. The original floor drain was deep set and in the way of his floor trench straight line.  He bought the floor drain and worked it out with the plumber to have that replaced as well after okaying it with us.  The overall result is a much more functional space with no large hole in the center of the room - as well as again eliminating a probable future leak in the corroded  original floor pipe.  We also now have the recommended check valve in the floor drain that the original piping lacked. <br /> <br /> <br /> 3. The plumber miss-measured the dimensions for the bathroom fixture drain piping and they were set up 1-1/4" too high.  I would have never known that by eye and was not knowledgeable enough to know that the result of that would have been an uneven lump in the newly poured concrete floor.  Marlin noticed it, brought it to my husbands' attention, asked his preferred route, and then even called and communicated the error and the necessary changes and the timeline to the plumber.  It was fixed, inspected and poured nice and level by the end.  This is especially important because we plan on mounting a floating vanity in there.  A bumpy, wavy floor would not have been the point of gutting the utility bathroom and upgrading it for functionality and aesthetics. <br /> <br /> There is no value I can place on having a good, knowledgeable, consciousness contractor watching over the project as the work proceeds.  These small nuances, which were barely a blip on our radar could have been major headaches, hassles, and frustrations for years to come.  It truly is invaluable. <br /> <br /> Marlin had a good working rapport with his staff and with his clients.  Shawn runs the books, scheduling, and communications in the office.  Her organizational skills are exceptional.  Marlin had her call to communicate an issue that they had on site to let us know before we even got home that they had run into an issue with the concrete finishing and there wasn't enough time in the day to correct it because they needed to mix more concrete - but not to worry - they knew there was an issue and they would fix it in the morning.  I really appreciated the preemptive communication.  There is nothing worse than coming home and thinking - "They aren't going to do it like THAT?! are they?"  and then having to stew about it all night. <br /> <br /> The crew finished up the outside drain tiling on the last day, Friday.  By noon, they had communicated with us that they would be working late to finish up the project.  They had to work late into the evening, but kept on it until it was finished.  I am not sure what time they wrapped up, but we left the house at 6:00pm and when we got home at 9:00 the job was finished and they had cleaned up their tools, and swept and hosed down the outside area.  We did  the majority of the sweeping, wiping and mopping to clean the interior, but we had ex"

"The crew was very professional and methodical and did an outstanding job during each phase of the project. <br />"

"To Expert House Movers <br /> We wanted to let you know just how pleased we are with the work you did on our house. Before we contacted you, we had several other contractors look at our home. We actually had hired another contractor, who took such a long time, never returned our calls, missed meetings, and took months to even get us our bid. And when that contractor did get us our bid, it was more than doubled our previously discussed budget!  <br /> That is when we called you, you came out immediately, was extremely professional, but more importantly, you had a personal interaction with both me and my wife throughout the entire process. You answered all our phone calls, all of our questions, and talked with us throughout the entire process. We felt extremely confident and assured through the entire lift. This house is our dream house and we are going to live in it until we die, and you knew how much it meant to us, and you took care of it as if it were your own. <br /> As you know, my wife ended up in the hospital with some complications with her surgery while you were working on our home, and you took such great care of our house. You knew she was very disappointed that she could not be there, as she designed the foundation window placements and had a big part in the doors and steps. Your crew was so kind and so professional and meticulous, that they knew that two particular windows were very important to my wife.  Your crew wanted to get them perfect and asked me some questions about them, that I could not answer. My wife was feeling better, but still in the hospital, and I called her on the phone, while your crew waited for me, as she and I discussed for several minutes the exact placement of the windows. Some minor changes had to be made and your crew could have easily just slapped the two windows in the new location, which was only slightly off of the original plan, and be done with it, but they stopped and pointed out where my wife originally wanted them and the new location difference and wanted to be sure that my wife understood the change, and wanted me to talk to my wife first. I was so very impressed that they made the adjustments on the spot that my wife suggested over the phone. I don’t think any other company would have gone through this much trouble to please their customers! <br /> You also were very respectful of our property, neighbors, and your crew were always very willing to stop and explain the process of what was going to happen next. Not one time did we ever feel like we were in your way. Actually, it was the opposite, we felt like you and your crew were very excited to show us your equipment and how it worked and actually wanted us around so we could see how it all worked and so we could see for ourselves how everything was perfect - and it was! <br /> We will always remember you and think of you so highly. Thank you for making the beginning our home building so easy and off to such a perfect start. There are so many things that can go wrong when redoing a home, and having it go off with such a perfect start gives us such great hope. You have certainly set bar very high for the other contractors that will be coming in for the other parts of the home! Your company and its crew should be very proud of its work. You do a job that is very difficult, complex and tedious, but you do it with care, expertise, and perfection. We actually miss you guys and wish you were around. You are like family to us. We only wish we could rate your service and staff A++ , if there were such a rating. <br /> All our best and blessings, <br /> Randy and Elizabeth <br />"

"The construction workers tore up old concrete at the end of my driveway and replaced it with new concrete at a different lower angle so my car wouldn't drag on it.  They replaced 3 sheets of sidewalk and the curb.  These workers have done other jobs at my house under the owner's supervision.  I have always found everyone to be courteous.  Concrete work is weather dependent. The previous owner refused to overbook and have too many projects going at once.  His crew completed the jobs though sometimes end dates were extended.  I consider it professional when a company like Behncke Construction refuses to rush a job and thus lower the quality. <br />"

"Every employee was respectful and competent. From the guys who bid the job, to the ones who did the hard work, to the after completion details, each employee did their job well. I was appreciative of their awareness for the safety of my house when they left for supplies or for lunch."
