"He started job with 2 days per week with 1 helper or alone. Had 4 different helpers, 3 had little to no experience. We agreed on a parts and labor agreement with more work possible after 2 bedrms and garage finished. My wife listened to and seen the agreement. The detailed price quote was photographed and agreed on verbily and with me signing a check for 2750 and him signing and cashing in his name. The full price for the agreed on work was 4200 I have before and after photos of only 25% of job done when he quit before Thansgiving. He was very disrespectful and rude and even threated assault the day he quit. We are frightened of his manner, tone, and words. We only want our money back covering work not done. We want this to go away and not have anyone go thru what we did. We are offering to have him bay us back 1350 out of the 2750 he was already paid of the 4200 total current project quote."

"Homeowner here... I can't properly explain how absolutely thrilled we are with the work that Bronson and the Brawny Builders have done with our lake cottage. Last summer, we started with a plan to simply paint the exterior. But the project slowly unfolded into something much larger. Bronson is not just a general contractor - he became a close and trusted partner throughout the entire project. He is full of creative and thoughtful ideas that enhanced the project at every step. He provided us with constant and detailed communication. His team worked with us to make sure that every detail was right. Here are a couple of examples where Bronson was able to improve the design or save cost: ** We did not want to expand the footprint of the house and add that cost, but we could not figure out how to layout everything we wanted. Bronson cleverly reused an old set of concrete stairs as the foundation for a washer/dryer stack. It was a great solution that worked out fantastic. ** We had wanted to add a half bath for years, but Bronson figured out a way to add a FULL bath. In addition, the new bathroom was connected (jack and jill style) to the main bedroom to create a master suite. It only cost one additional door, but it is now WAY beyond what we imagined. ** We originally wanted to build a deck on the front of the house, but Bronson helped to create a design for a covered porch with vaulted ceilings and a clever lower surround that blended with the lake environment. ** We found a number of structural issues with the old house during demolition. Bronson developed very clever and cost-effective ways to resolve floor, wall and joist issues. ** During each phase of the construction, Bronson developed thoughtful and clever touches. The lofted garage included an old second floor door for ventilation, and Bronson designed a design the new door that retained some of the prior feeling with a new and fresh update. ** We wanted to retain some of the historical feel to the interior, and Bronson cleverly retained some of the original paneling without feeling overwhelming. He framed the wall to make it a focal point without looking old. It is one of my favorite parts of the house. The lake cottage has been in our extended family for almost 50 years. It has been a great retreat for us, but it is now a proper home with personality and functionality to match. This project has literally transformed the house. We would highly recommend Bronson and Brawny Builders for any remodeling project. We were lucky to find them."

"Requested TV mounted on the wall. Decided I didn't want drywall cut into chose just the mounting. Price was similar to other quotes, but he had more reviews so I chose them. I originally showed him the mount at the estimate. Then he arrived for the scheduled install. He stated I should get a different mount because the one I had was big. I agrred assuming he knew best.He went and purchased a new mount and came back fir install. They attempted to mount the mount straight into the DRY WALL. I came out to look when they were done, and moved the mount to see it and the mount basically pulled from the wall. So they had to reinstall everything on the stud, like should have been done. Now I had holes in dry wall. Then they didn't look at the directions for the mount. Pieces were installed incorrectly, the tilt mechanism wasn't put together correctly, they had to come back, fill the holes, and reinstall the mount. They did it wrong again before I corrected them. They still never read the actual mount directions. Still have holes where they searched for studs and marks on the wall. I wish I went with someone else."

"If I could give less than one star I would. Hired Alvie to replace a porch and install some new exterior doors. He bid the job, took the 50% deposit and I chased him for weeks to start. Didn’t purchase supplies he quoted and I paid for. Rarely showed up when he said he would. Tons of excuses. Asked for gas money to come work on my job Then wanted more money before job was completed. The work done was not as agreed or quoted. Finally ended up firing him. Have to hire someone else to finish work"

We are a custom granite & quartz fabrication shop with many years of experience. We specialize in making the most beautiful kitchen counter tops, bathroom vanity tops, fireplaces & wet bars. Our company guarantees that our customers will be 100% satisfied with the quality of work that we produce.
"We went here to pick out granite surfaces for a new walk-in shower in the master BR...bench tops, soap shelf tops, window sill and curb sill. Everything went fine at the store. Things fell apart after that. Deadlines weren't met...repeatedly, deadlines they set. Expectations they set went unmet. Communication was poor. If something is wrong just tell me. I can deal with that. Fortunately our contractor did the work of communicating with them and making things happen...finally! Probably a good thing it wasn't me.Don't keep telling me what you think I want to hear and completely destroy your credibility with lousy performance. In the end, we got the project done and are fairly certain about what happened. Not going to share that because I am not completely sure. However, we are absolutely certain that we'll never do business with this company again. We would encourage you to look elsewhere. This product is expensive. Choose wisely. There are plenty of options out there."

Shiplap comes in a variety of price points. The most cost-effective form is plywood, which you can buy in sheets for an average of $30 each. However, shiplap can be a bit more expensive than drywall. If cost is an issue, consider installing shiplap on an accent wall and covering the other three walls with drywall.
In many cases, you may be able to install shiplap over drywall. It’s important to prep the wall before installing shiplap. Typically, contractors locate the wall studs and attach the shiplap boards directly to the existing drywall using construction adhesive or finishing nails. However, pros usually recommend removing the existing drywall to expose the studs for the best results. This allows for a more secure and flush installation.
Both horizontal and vertical shiplap can offer stunning visual appeal, but each type creates a different effect. Horizontal shiplap is the classic choice, traditionally helping rooms feel wider and more expansive, such as in living areas and bedrooms. By comparison, vertical shiplap can create an illusion of added height, making ceilings appear taller for a more dramatic touch. The best choice depends on your room’s architecture, design style, and personal preference.
