Best General Contractors in United States

So, I am in the middle of a remodel with Schott.  I have to give them extreme credit.  I am redoing my kitchen and building out my fireplace, as well as replacing all the counters in my bathroom.  To begin, they were very much on time and reliable during the quote process.  Their quotes were detailed and extremely easy to understand.  There were no hidden costs or details.  They ran through the project with me a few times, making sure that it was what I wanted and even made a few suggestions.

His right hand guys are Shane and Jim.  Both of them are amazing.  Shane will come out and bid the job and Jim runs the job.  Shane initially came out with Chris and we went through the job.  Then, he came out again to check things out.  THEN, he brought Jim and met with my interior designer and went through the job AGAIN to make sure that everything was correct.

Jim runs the job and he literally texts and calls all the time and gives updates.  He stays on schedule and really tries to accommodate the living situation for the person in the home.  For example, I needed my stove for Thanksgiving but we were installing the granite.  He made sure that I had a working stove so I could at least cook after the counters were installed.  It was just a kind thing to do, that he really didn't have to do, but he made it work just to make me happy.  I mean, that says a lot.   I seriously can't say enough about these guys.

The reliability and honesty factors are two of the most important things to me.  These guys won't walk off the job.  They have a portal where you can track progress and Jim is CONSTANTLY in contact with you, explaining what is going on and where the project is.  Sometimes, he will literally call me first thing in the morning to make sure I know what is going on for the day. He has even sped up some of the timeline, which was remarkable.  And through it all, he makes sure that his guys clean up as best they can, each day.

A remodel is a daunting experience, so it's really important to have people you trust running it.  That's actually really worth something.  These guys are not the cheapest, but definitely not the most expensive, either.

There have been some minor bumps with the remodel, but I was fully expecting that.  And, fyi, anyone should expect bumps and bruises during a remodel.  What is most important is that, whenever an issue popped up or a problem occurred, they immediately call and advised me.  They didn't try to minimize the issue or cast blame on anyone.  They just said, "don't worry, we will fix it."  And they did.  You can't really ask for more than that, either.  Mistakes will happen - - but the question is how are those mistakes handled.    I will update this review when the remodel is done.  But, thus far, I would recommend them to anyone...

The wax ring was bad on upstairs toilet and water damage was happening under our tiles damaging the sub floor. The rotted ply wood was replaced and new tiles placed. Amazing work. They were reliable. Efficient, affordable, and communicated well.

These guys are awesome! They did a great job remodeling my office! I highly recommend them for everything!

We used them to replace our baseboards. Excellent job. I would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. Very organized, cleaned up as they worked, and very easy to work with.

We had a crack in our interior bedroom door which required the door to be replaced. After trying to replace ourselves, we called a professional to help. Stan was kind, professional, and managed expectations very well. Would definitely use his service again.

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!

Can't say anything about their quality of work because no one bothered to show up to our first appointment. When my husband called he was told that the man he initially talked to sometimes doesn't write his appointments down and we could call him directly.  He was already 20 minutes late. No way am I calling him. It's his responsibility to inform me if he is running late.

Honestly, WHY would I spend 20-30 thousand dollars on a company that doesn't even show up to the first appointment? Absolutely unprofessional and untrustworthy in my eyes.

Gilbert did excellent work. He repaired both our porches and the workmanship was done with quality.
He quoted me a price and did not go over it. I would have him do more work for us.

They didn't show up after we agreed on the date and time. I didn't find out until I asked my Tennant if the issues were addressed. He said he didn't even call or text to let him know he wouldn't show. He also had my number and didn't call or text.

David from ABA came this afternoon
And I now have the handles that I ordered. Vanity looks so much better and David did a great job, cleaned up any mess from drilling new holes . I'm now happy and thank David and Joe for completing the job as ordered.

I recently called and spoke to "Bill" about obtaining a quote for replacing two exterior doors on my home.  He told me it would be an "expensive proposition" and that I should go on their website and fill out the intake form.  I told him I had already done business with this company a couple of times before and shouldn't have to be put through the screening process again.  I found Bill to be rather off-putting and blunt in how he handled the matter.  Long story short, I wound up hiring a different company to do the work.

***UPDATE****
Seven weeks after the remodel, Maxum did the right thing and replaced the granite with the cracked countertop with the exact granite that was installed. I am now satisfied.

We had our master bathroom remodeled. One week after completion of bathroom remodel, we noticed the granite countertop was cracked the entire width. They sent someone out to repair, but we weren't satisfied with how it looked as it was still very noticeable.  They agreed to replace the counter but said they would not replace with the same granite as the only piece available was larger and more expensive. We thought that would be okay. I received an email a few days later stating "the guys have found a piece to match what you have. They are going to pick it up and start fabrication again."  I waited 2 weeks before contacting again to see where we were with progress. I received a call later that day and was told they wanted me to look at the granite to make sure I was satisfied.  Apparently the piece was not in fabrication as I was told.  Won't go into details regarding the meeting not happening as scheduled. We saw the slab, and it was darker, and thinner than our original granite.  At first we said okay. And when asked when we could expect it to be done, we were not given a clear answer. But as my husband and I thought about it, we contacted them and canceled the replacement, as we did not think we would be happy with the replacement and felt that since the crack was discovered so soon after completion, it should have been replaced with the same granite we had chosen, and we would just have to live with the crack.

Our big mistake was handing over the final payment before looking over everything with a fine tooth comb. This was our first remodel.  It took three weeks and they finished late on the final day.  We were all tired. But it seems once that final payment was made, we no longer mattered and they were pretty much done with us and on to the next project.

I had one of their consultants come to my home.  Bad experience.  He got into my tub/shower and started looking for problems.  No need to look for anything, I told him I want it removed and replaced.  It's almost 40 years old, so yes there are signs of old age.  He basically was wasting my time while he used his tablet to video areas and record his comments with a voice so loud it could be heard throughout the house.  Even tried to make me believe the valve was leaking by turning on the water and showing how it continued to drip.  Yes, the stop is a ways in the wall and it will drip a little after shut off, not a leak.  Basically he was doing all he could to try and make me believe the unit was in poor shape and would need to be replaced immediately.  When I told him I intended to reuse my existing shower head on a hose things really went bad.  I can do that but they are still going to charge me for a shower head anyway that I take off and put mine on.  I asked him to back his head out of the bid.  Can't be done, it's a package deal.  The use only high quality "commercial" fixtures and stated shower heads are about $300.  He's gone.

I spent most of my working years in industrial facility maintenance and construction supervision.  Never had a problem with getting items backed out or bid as alternates.  These folks want to sell high priced jobs.  I came to realize the only creature on this earth that contained more of this material than the salesman is in a bull's colon.

Tiana and Glen did amazing work on my kitchen remodel. They delivered on everything I requested for with quality workmanship. Their communication was top notch throughout the entire project and it really gave me a sense that they truly cared.

They put a lot of effort in getting into all the details of the project and we're thorough with all aspects. Because of of this, we did not encounter any major unexpected issues on the project.

They completed my full kitchen remodel along with replacing the flooring throughout most of the house in a month's time frame. They provide a neat schedule of all the different work to be done and dates of when that work is scheduled for. We followed this schedule almost exactly and they were even able to work in a change to the project without pushing the timeline further out.

I have been completely satisfied with their work and would without a doubt recommend them for home remodel projects. They are respectful, professional and charge very reasonable rates. I am looking forward to using their services again for a future bathroom remodel.
