"They are a great father-son team who each have their own specialties, and they had other jobs going on at the same time as ours, so they were in and out of our yard for quite a while, but things have finally gotten done. We were luckily not in a bug hurry, and things are looking good now."

"We have hired Sergio to do a number of small jobs over the last 2 years. Everything turned out good. Sergio is great about returning my calls and comes when he says he will. Sometimes when he can't make it, he has called to reschedule. Sergio and the people he has helping him have always been friendly and conscientious and he made us feel safe doing jobs during Covid times."

"We had a complete closet demo and remodel.
Complete Tub fixture replacement. 
Downstairs replacement of baseboards of center island & pantry baseboards.
These were just a start of the items we wanted to begin.  After the visit, we were told that we would have an email with examples of closets and associated estimates. No email or phone call was provided after the visit. Very odd considering that they were recommended so highly in the community.  

---Do not know if this is any relevance or not, but we are an LGBT family and it very obvious to us while making the appointment that this is a Christian organization. This made no difference to us, as we just wanted the jobs completed.---

Update: The owner and his daughter personally visited us this evening and profusely apologized for his company dropping the ball. He reiterated that his company does not discriminate and asked for a second chance to earn our business. He seemed genuinely upset and wanted to assure us that he valued our business. We believe him and want to encourage others to give this company a chance to earn your trust. "

"IEK Construction was amazing! I dealt with Robert directly from start to finish. I told him my vision of what I wanted for my yard and he made it happen in budget, and on time. He even made a few suggestions for details that I missed. Hands down IEK Construction is the most honest, reliable and talented contractor I've ever used. Would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!!"

"From start to finish working with Louis and his team was great. The finished product looks great, and we have no complaints. The individuals who tore off the old roof and installed the new metal roof were on time and went straight to work, kept everything picked up and clean at the end of each day. anytime i had questions Louis was available to answer them in a professional manner. I would highly recommend them for roof replacement."

"Good work at a fair price. I recommend. Fast reply."

"They came out to see the scope of the work then came out later and repaired the crack. They advised that the repair was a band aid fix until the root of the problem, literally a tree root, was resolved.

"Three neighbors solicited bids for their backyard walls, two of which were shared walls.  My nearest neighbor contacted Weston and left a message that we wanted to proceed.  There was a call back within a few hours, but my neighbor was not home.  He called back and left a message.  He reported that he did not receive another call for three days.  The third neighbor dealt with Weston separately and reported to us that Robert never returned his call.  Throughout the process, we rarely were able to contact Robert directly.  Sometimes calls were returned promptly, sometimes not at all.  It was this inconsistent quality of communication and the construction process in general that led to considerable dissatisfaction for my neighbor and myself.
There are a number of things I liked about Weston's performance.  They showed up on time and completed the wall construction on time.  The wall looks nice - the seams are even and well pointed and is level in all places except my neighbors seven-foot front section that appears slightly convex on top.   The columns were completely filled with mortar.  I am well pleased with the appearance and the quality of the gates.  Robert kept his word,  and if there was something we didn't like or was not according to our agreement, he fixed it when we pointed it out to him. On the whole, we may have gotten a good wall and gates at a good. price.  Robert told us not worry, that there was a 10 year guarantee on the wall.  Based on his behavior during construction, I would bet that he would honor this guarantee.
There are number of things that I did not like about Weston's performance and my neighbor expressed to me a number of similar things he didn't like.  Perhaps we are excessively picky.  I will detail the things I didn't like and the reader can decide. Weston uses slumped steps instead of square steps in their foundation, a practice that I am told is standard for this type of construction. Nevertheless, I don't like the practice - too much mortar in an excessively long slump, or where the triangular piece is not well cut can result in the wall slumping - this happened to my neighbor, and the wall was redone after a call to Robert (the foreman said it was fine the way it was).  We agreed to double rebar in the gate columns.  This was apparently news to the foreman, and it was only after a call to Robert that the foreman ageed.  Nevertheless, when rebar was put in the gate columns, only one piece was placed.  In the meantime, the cement was setting up.  I asked the foreman about it.  Eventually, another piece was set in all but the gate column up front.  By this time I thought the cement may have set up too much to properly adhere to the rebar - it was like poking a hole in the cement, and I asked the foreman about the front gate columns.  He did not seem pleased with me.  When they set the first course of the columns, I noticed that there were 2 inch holes at the bottom of the two blocks in the gate columns in back.  I asked the foreman about this.  He said it was necessary for the rebar to fit in the column.  He had apparently misset the rebar.  No one made a move to level off the mortar that came slumping through the holes with the block when they filled the columns, so I did it.  The rebar did not extend into the top course of the columns in some cases, and where it did, it was only an inch or so - I don't know if this compromises the stability of the top course or is standard practice, but I do note in diagrams of recommended practices, they show another piece of rebar set well down into the column in order to extend well into the top course.  Weston agreed to spread the dirt from the foundation in the alley.  This was hit and miss, and in some places it had just been spread in place, leaving 3 -4 inches of loose dirt and construction materials.  On the side of the house, I found garbage from food containers and pop cans.
Weston agreed to build a wall that was at least 72 inches above ground.  The wall at my front gate is about 67 inches.  This is because they matched it to the common wall on that side.  I was not asked whether I wanted to keep the wall height the same as the back or match to the front.  To his credit, Robert offered to put on another course when I called him, but I decided to leave it alone.  The smaller gate that was delivered to accommodate the smaller wall, was another matter.  In fact the whole gate installation process was a nightmare.  I refused to allow the vendor to install the smaller gate.  The gate installer lost one set of keys and when I asked them to take my keys and make new set, they took the keys but did not return - I was left unable to get out my back gate to empty the garbage.  When I called Robert to complain about the wall height and the gate size, he agreed to redo the gate and to get the keys from the vendor.  We left on a trip for seven days.  When we came back, the new gate was installed, but there were no keys.  I called Robert.  More than 24 hours passed and I hadn't heard from Robert.  I called the office instead of Robert's cell phone.  The individual said he would handle it immediately.  An hour or so later, he called me and informed me that the keys would be in my mailbox within a day or so.  They were.  However, when I went to open the back gate, the key wouldn't turn.  I finally forced it and it turned.  I noticed that the installers had not properly set the gate adjustments to cause the lock to hit the center of the hole.  It took about 2 minutes for me to make this adjustment - why couldn't they take two minutes to make it right the first time?
Was it worth all this hassle just for the lower price?
