DOUGLAS CONTRACTING

Douglas Contracting is an honest and fair contracting company. Having work done to your home can be stressful and daunting, but Doug and his crew make it easy by being professional and easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking to renovate. His work is beautiful!","pos-8

Doug remodeled our house to accommodate a new kitchen with 10 ft island. It is by far my favorite room in the house. The island can seat our whole family of 5 and we also have room within the space for a large dining table and seating area. We are always getting compliments on our kitchen. The bar area is the cherry on top with beautiful glass doors, lattice wine rack. We also have a sink and drink refrigerator here. Doug was also very kind to my two year old son who loved following him around. We are getting ready to work on our fourth project with Douglas Contracting. ","pos-3

Being in business more than 24 years and most of them being referrals says a lot in itself but pictures are worth a thousand words. See Douglas Contracting website as well as his other sites for his photos. They show his excellent quality of work. Doug is the most honest contractor I know and works hard to please his clients. He does many extras no other contractor I know offers. Starting a construction project is not an easy process but Doug takes the time to explain the process. It is not an easy job and the best thing you can do to start the project off smoothly is to make as many upfront decisions as possible. Changes during the project delays the contractor, the ordering and the subcontractors. Doug will explain the entire process with you.... so give him a call.","pos-9

This general contractor ([redacted]) was very dishonest and incompetent. In February 2015, he agreed to do my job for $16,050, which was a fair price. He completed 50% of the job after getting $10,000. The good, the bad, and the ugly included:
• Electrical work was excellent (subcontractor - [redacted] Price XXX-XXX-XXXX).
• Drywall/painting work was excellent (subcontractor - [redacted] XXX-XXX-XXXX)
• Tile work was okay but the subcontractor is dishonest so beware [redacted] Installer, Inc.).
• Plumbing work was terrible [redacted] and they caused a lot of damage to my house.
• The new plumber I hired to fix everything was excellent ([redacted] XXX-XXX-XXXX).
• [redacted] was an incompetent general contractor; I ended up doing that work.
• The framing was terrible ([redacted] did the framing).
• [redacted] comes across as an honest, good person. For example, his bid came in fair and he prefers to do jobs with no signed contract, only a handshake. Yes, I was a fool to fall for that one.
• [redacted] took me to small claims court. Prior to seeing the judge I asked him how much he thought I owed him; he told me about $6,000. Then he proceeded to tell the judge I owed him $16,000 - an example of his blatant dishonesty. The judge ruled in my favor; I was ordered to pay "$0".
o [redacted] (tile subcontractor) and [redacted] provided affidavits that were full of lies, so beware.
o [redacted] talked about how great he is because of his online ratings; however, since he had no reviews his rating is irrelevant.
• My daughter had done a much bigger job ($100k insurance job) with [redacted], but there was a detailed, signed contract. She had similar disputes with him, but was able to get him to go by the contract. Yes, I've learned my lesson.
• The cabinet company was excellent [redacted] - [redacted] XXX-XXX-XXXX).
• The countertop company was excellent [redacted] XXX-XXX-XXXX).
• [redacted] posted an extremely unprofessional response to my review on [redacted]'s [redacted] further supporting my claims.","neg-1
