Best General Contractors in United States

I chose Gurr Bros. because of their great reviews, so I think I owe it to the community to explain the single star.

1. It took them 7 months to do a relatively small job.
2. They often didn't show up when they said or had workers show up without notice.
3. They never cleaned up a thing and left a huge mess.
4. The work was not great.
5. They included over $1,000 worth of charges for work they did not do.  

Surprisingly, the single star is not because they took 7 months to replace a couple of cabinets and a countertop in my kitchen (yes, 7 long months, mostly without a kitchen). Nor is it because part of the same job involved some plumbing work done so poorly that I had to hire Kendall Plumbing to come out 2x to fix Gurr Bros. work. (Thank you, Fernando at Kendall Plumbing, you're the best)

The reason they get 1 star (I would actually go with zero), is because after over 7 months of them promising they would come out and not showing up time and again, their final invoice was full of stuff they didn't do. I pushed back with a detailed list of all the disputed charges, but somehow, even after removing all those charges, the total I owe them is almost the same. (This is based on the outstanding balance one person from Gurr told me over the phone before I received the final invoice.)

I get that a lot of people have had great experiences with Gurr, and you're probably thinking I was a total b word, but I wasn't. Honest. My family was experiencing a super scary medical emergency at the time and I simply didn't  have the bandwidth to be bitchy or watch Gurr like a hawk. I'm guessing they took advantage of my weakness. I hope not. They really have made me much less trusting of workmen, though, and it makes me incredibly sad.

Anyway, I wish I had done more due diligence before I chose them. I'll leave an update after the final invoice is settled and post some pics of their workmanship when I can. Good luck, everybody.

UPDATE:
So I had a conversation with Topaz (general mgr?) today and she took more charges off for work that wasn't done, but I still owe more than insurance is paying, even over my deductible. And I still have to pay for someone else to do the work they didn't finish. Plus, I'm out $300 for the plumber who fixed Gurr's mistakes. Overall, I still feel like I'm getting screwed although I find the invoices difficult to understand, so maybe I'm not. I'm finding it hard to trust them. I may just pay them so I can stop worrying constantly. It's no fun. I have a knot in my stomach all the time over this.

I'm guessing my poor decision not to interview more contractors is going to cost me over $1000 plus 7 months of misery. I'll update this when I decide what to do. :(

We decided to update our kitchen countertops so we started the process of finding the right company for us. After 3 or 4 estimates/sales pitches we decided to go with ARG. Veny was the man for us. He got us with his knowledge and how easy he was to work with. He had great ideas to expand our countertop space and helped us find the right granite. When the day came for install they were right on time n promptly changed our kitchen. We love it! Do yourself a favor and call and talk with Veny. This place rocks!!

Bryce at HBO Construction was great! He was responsive, on time, and did great work on our bathroom shower.

After several estimates, we knew Bryce was the guy for the job. He was fair and knowledgeable without giving us a crazy dollar amount to do the job.

10/10 will be recommending him to our friends and family!

Derren and his talented crew delivered on our expectations of a quality master bath remodel. From start to finish, communication was outstanding, work was of high quality, promised made were delivered on. Resulting in a beautiful bathroom we could not be happier with.

We had a roof leak into a very small space behind our water heater. There was small water damage and a bit of mold. Other companies quoted us $1700-2700 because they wanted to remove the water heater. Elias was able to do it for a third of the price without removing the water heater! He was a great contractor to work with- let me know when he was on the way and was very understanding of our wanting to keep costs down. He did a great repair job and we plan to ask him to help us with other projects in the house. Thanks Elias!

As a Veteran myself I love to do business with other Veterans. Great customer service. I highly recommend VanDahl Homecare services to anyone in need of having a better quality of life again.

I used Aldana Renovations to do some repairs to my subfloor that had water damage. Andoni came out and did an awesome job of repairing the flooring as reinstalling the laminate above it. His prices were more than fair, he was on time, and worked quickly. I would definitely recommend him.

Consider yourself lucky if you get the opportunity to work with Keith and Roger! From minute one you could tell the team was honest and only concerned with helping you achieve your goals. Keith our lead was knowledgable and happy to guide us, he gave me advice along the way that saved us a ton of money!

The bid was beyond reasonable given the current market - we were blown away - hands down best contractor experience I have ever had!

Attached is a photo of a room add-on they completed for us.

Ryan and Lyra are amazing. Great communication, expertise, professionalism, and amazing final product!!! Thank you so much!!!

PHX Floors & More did a great job with our projects. They were professional, timely and so easy to work with. They provided updates and kept us in the loop on the projects. We initially hired them for one project and added on 4 more. We'd definitely recommend them and plan to work with them again in the future. Our flooring, quartz and tile work all look great!

Manny was awesome to work with.  He helped me fixed a nasty leak on my roof and did full drywall work on my Garage ceiling.  VERY FAIR Prices and super honest kinda guy.  Hit him up!

WOW!!!!! We love what you have done with our home!!! The finished product looks amazing.

I love to see the look on my friends and family's faces as they see it for the first time.

On time and on BUDGET!!!!! Jacquie you really are the very best.  
           Thank you , Tim and Gina

Tatum and Ray were highly recommended. I got several bids and their's was comprehensive and fairly priced. This was a unique project where we retained the flooring, fixtures and some of the walls. But the plumbing, sinks, counters, tile, some cabinets, mirrors, shower wall and glass are all new. There were many challenges since this was not a rip and replace. During the five week project, Tatum kept everything moving, came up with creative solutions, and kept his commitment to deliver the bathroom we wanted. I highly recommend Ouellette General Contracting.

Awesome job, awesome customer service. I would recommend and hire again. I'm very happy with work and price!

Unreliable and unprofessional. Everado delivers false promise after false promise and cannot be trusted. Avoid this company.

If I could give a zero rating I would. I hired red ram construction too Install 700 ft.² of tile. After nine days they still had not completed the job, they Laid the tile uneven, left grout all over the floor, and cabinets. We now have to remove the tile and start over. In addition they never cleaned up after themselves.  I would not hire this contractor under any circumstances whatsoever.
