Brewer Contracting has completed two jobs for me. The first was a floor change from tile to hardwood in a kitchen and den, and the second was a gut to the stud bathroom remodel.
Horrible company to go through!!!! A guy was supposed to come out on a Friday morning and I get a text on Tuesday saying " sorry I can't make it tomorrow but I can do Thursday or Friday." Uhhhhh our Appointment is on Friday you idiot! so Friday comes and he cancels on me 5 min before our appointment due to being " short staffed." Very unorganized and straight up RUDE.
The pros: The communication from the owner, Ken Brewer, is outstanding. He gets back quickly and the subs that he uses are wonderful. The results are great and worth the inconvenience of the mess, noise, chaos and everything rehab related. Brewer's prices are very fair for the quality of the work and Ken's wanting to make things perfect for the client. Much of his team is outstanding and talented, and very kind human beings.
Initial interaction was with the Sale's Manager, Steve D. He promised that this partial tear out and remodel would be done start to finish in one week. My wife and I also had numerous requests/specifications for the project that we were assured he'd communicate to the Project Manager Jorge. When the time came to meet Jorge, Steve D did not communicate any of the requests, and we were told the project would be a minimum of two weeks (total project was more than 3 weeks+). My advice is to not sign any contract with Steve D unless you speak directly to a Project Manager. There were numerous bumps, set backs, and frustrations throughout the project, but the saving grace and reason I am giving a positive review is specifically how well Project Manager Jorge handled his job with a professional courtesy/integrity. I also extend this compliment to the owner of the business, and would consider using this company in future projects.
The cons: In any rehab, there is noise, dust, a plethora of tradespeople walking through the home at all times and a lot of things you don't see on television. Subs and team do not show up when scheduled due to emergencies or are double booked. Dates are promised and missed. "Add on's" put you over your original budget. Things are missed, things get broken, things get tense. Sadly, by watching shows like The Property Brothers, the consumer sees rehab as something really easy-its not for the faint of heart. Its a major inconvenience and pain and brings you to new levels of coping.
However, with all the chaos, and my b---ching and complaining, the end result is amazing. I could not be happier with the product, the luxurious bath I now have, and the pride I have in our home. Yes, it was hell during the process, but its heavenly now.
Thank you Ken. You made a dream come true for me and my husband.
