"Jim is the designer who walked the property, made recommendations and provided the estimates. We asked for the work to be quoted as two estimates. We had to do the back yard re-grading and seeding, but theoretically could have cleaned up the landscaping ourselves. In the end we hired them for both projects because the estimates were so reasonable. Jim was punctual, professional, very knowledgeable. His quote on the re-grading/seeding was similar in price but very different in amount of fill dirt that had been quoted by Scot's last Fall. I called him about it and his explanation made a lot of sense: he thought we could use a lot of the existing soil and softly slope the lawn away from the house. The yahoo we hired last year had butchered it so badly, and had created a hard edge. <br />It took longer to actually get on their calendar than we had hoped, but we foolishly tried to wait to get quotes from other landscapers. We were burned so badly last summer that we were trying to be overly cautious. <br />When we did not get call backs from 3 other companies (even Scot's who had originally provided an estimate last Fall) we booked the work with Thomson's. Believe it or not, Scot's failed to respond to three separate calls AND a visit to their store by my husband. <br />The projects were completed over two days and Jim was here at the beginning of each day to make sure the crew knew what was to be done. We had 4 different crew members <br />There were a few things about completed work I was not quite comfortable with. Jim returned my call promptly and came out to do a walk through with me two days later. It was nothing major, but he agreed and said he would put in a work order for a return visit with no additional charge to us. <br />We highly recommend Thomson's and will use them again. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Will was fantastic to work with. He was very fast to respond to my initial call for a quote, gave a reasonable estimate, and scheduled the work quickly. When things didn't turn out quite as planned at first (not his fault), he went above and beyond to fix the issue, as well as offering to give the room other upgrades to really make it special. He couldn't have been more professional, courteous, and attentive. He's the only contractor I will use for any future projects - I've never had a better and quot;customer service experienceand quot; than what he provided. Highly, highly recommend him. <br />"

"My experience to them was okay and they seem to have a solution for the problem. I'm really not sure about the price if it is high or low but I think we were going to use them."

"<p>It was really good. He is good at what he does. He does it to your satisfaction. On the poor side, he is so booked up it can take a while until he gets to you.</p>"

"I wish I could give a good review, because we worked with the builder to design a unique and lovely home. Before I begin, PLEASE NOTE- if you ask the builder about this review, he will likely give you a story about unfinished payments or such. That was the story we got when we inquired about a previously litigated job, and we decided to give him the benefit of the doubt because he seemed to be a nice guy and good fit for our job. <br /> The job started easily enough and we didn't have many problems in the early stages. We did have to monitor the quality and point out split studs, improperly placed insulation, etc. The crew consisted of nice guys, but there was little quality control done by the contractor. Our daily trips to the site usually consisted of us cleaning up trash, food wrappers, spilled drinks etc. both inside and outside. Malone was not present on the site very often, and many mistakes were overlooked until WE discovered them---toilets installed in the wrong place, ceramic tiles laid crookedly, etc. An entire exterior wall was mistakenly sided with expensive Hardy plank when it was supposed to be stone. Those are things that probably happen with many jobs, so as long as they were corrected we were okay. But when the job was close to finish, suddenly items that had been part of the design became extra charges, and we had to eliminate some features we had assumed all along were part of the house. <br /> I won't go into detail about the last weeks of the job, there was much disagreement and it was very difficult to get our punch list finished. When we closed the mortgage on the house there were still issues that hadn't been addressed, but Malone said that they would be taken care of as warranty items. We were told to let the house and quot;settleand quot; through the winter and spring and then he would see what needed to be repaired. The following summer was one delay after another, and it was 9 months after and quot;completionand quot; that his crew finally came back to do the warranty work. It took several attempts before they managed to repair a ceiling and get it painted correctly, and even now you can see sponge marks and wall paint overlapping the ceiling and vise versa. I contacted him repeatedly to notify him of more issues, including but not limited to cracked drywall, flooring that doesn't reach the baseboard, window sills that are separated and rough, popped drywall nails, many corners of cracked paint with primer showing through....Imagine how stressful for people who lost their home in a fire to discover that the new home's fireplace was installed without a major part, causing damage to the fireplace itself. We chose a high quality vinyl plank floor that resembles distressed wood, but because the cement slab wasn't thoroughly prepped and smoothed the floor shows dips, bumps and even debris that was left under it during installation. <br /> Sadly, instead of returning to finish the warranty items, he simply went AWOL. He refused to answer emails and bluntly decided that he was not going to return or finish the job. There is not a single room in the 3100 sq. ft. home that doesn't have visible issues and flaws. If you decide to use Malone Renovations, I strongly urge you to be present on site every day, checking for quality. Get every single item spelled out in the contract, because a man's word isn't what it used to be. And DO NOT approve payments before you are 100 percent satisfied that every issue is corrected and completed. If you authorize payment and then hope to have the builder return, you will be sadly disappointed."

"Dana and B&W Painting Team were outstanding! We had to move out of town before they could start on our home interior and not only did they do beautiful work, they went above and beyond the normal “wall/ceiling painting” by truly hearing our goals for our home and adding touch ups here where needed. The estimate was spot on and the crew worked around our schedule to get a high quality job done quickly. Tried and trusted - these guys are FANTASTIC!"

"Expert House Movers brought a crew of 6-8 & came in late August 2013 to start the process of raising & moving the house.  My husband had done all the prep work of disconnecting the utilities & removing the furnace, etc. They dug access ramps to the old foundation/basement with bobcats.  They poked good sized holes around the foundation so they could put in steel beams and jack up the house.  Our foundation was from 1917 & built from old creek gravel cement, so it was pretty tough.  It took three & half days to jack the house & move it over the driveway.  It seemed really fast to me.  The only thing to fall in the house was a picture off the piano.  We still had access to the house through a tall ladder to get clothes, etc. that we needed. <br /> We took over the process of arranging excavation, concrete pouring, and carpenters with more local contractors.  Expert does have concrete people & others they use in the St Louis area that know exactly the requirements needed for the new foundation. <br /> After the basement was poured & cured (curing takes about 3-4 weeks), Expert returned in October 2013 to move & set the house.  They had been in contact with the concrete man for specifications, but there were no slots for the beams when setting the house down.  A concrete worker had to come & cut those slots.  We had a carpenter on hand to finish the sill installment & make sure the sills for the permanent beams was correct & set the support posts in the basement.  We also had a friend's tractor help Expert's bobcat pull the house back over the foundation.  While all this was going on, Expert was jacking and moving supports & placing slider beams & raising & lowering the house.  The process was complete in about 2 1/2 days with care & precision.  Some of the cracks in our house even disappeared.  Great job guys. <br /> Our carpenters returned to build a staircase & some other requirements.  We are working on re-connecting utilities & returning the furnace, water heater, etc. to the new basement.  We plan to move back into the house in the first week or so in November 2013.  It's been a long process, but well worth it.  Made possible by Expert House Movers! <br />"
