I did a whole house renovation that lasted, room by room, over the course of an entire year. Blackdog Builders provided me with top notch workmanship at reasonable and transparent cost every step of the way. They always let me know what each step would cost, and tracked the work to the budget to avoid overruns. They were very flexible with changes to the design and materials along the way, and all the work teams were highly skilled at their jobs, always working clean and curtious. Office staff was always up to date on billing (so, never any surprises with old charges). Their job estimates were always on target, and they tracked expenses against estimates with every billing cycle. I highly recommend working with Blackdog Builders for any scale project, and would hire them again in an instant.
We paid $12,000 for a new deck through Black Dog back in 2019, even paying an extra $3K for a slope so that it would not pool water. Today, the work and deck looks terrible (see photos) and pools way too much. We tried to get Black Dog to remedy over a year ago and they just pointed fingers at the sub-contractor they hired and have done absolutely nothing for us. I wish we would have gone directly with a contractor who stands by their work. We did get a warranty refund of $1000 from the membrane manufacturer, but that is a small fraction of our cost and now we are stuck with $12K wasted.
Very detail oriented, they know what they are doing, Steel, he has great empathy, very positive and resolves any detail. Excellent job.
Amanda, John and the entire team did a fabulous job on our home remodel. All the details from the construction to the design were right on!
BlackDog came highly recommended to us. After looking at our 11’x11’ kitchen, they were amicable and persuasive about the quality of their work and how long it would take them, especially given the pandemic. We hired them to remodel our small kitchen and replace the living room carpet with wood flooring to match our existing wood floor. They gave us the 5-week schedule for our project up front. The actual time they took to complete the project was 5.5 months. Communication throughout the project, between their project manager and everyone (workers and client) was very poor and at times abusive. The flooring subcontractor appeared on site unscheduled and without preparing us. We were advised people and pets had to vacate the premises immediately for at least four days. To add insult to injury, after jumping thru hoops to find somewhere to stay, upon our return, the new floor did not even match the old and would have to be redone, forcing us to vacate yet again. The subs who installed the appliances had never installed appliances before. We were told that once water to the kitchen was turned back on, we could start using the dishwasher. After we ran the dishwasher, we uncovered massive water damage. Blackdog discovered they had connected only one of two dishwasher hoses. The dishwasher had drained water directly onto the kitchen floor, which was covered with blankets and cardboard at the time. Rough plumbing was scheduled the first week when the walls were bare, but not done until the BlackDog project manager realized the new sink couldn’t drain. They had to cut through three of our brand-new cabinets to access and reconfigure pipes. In the process of moving the new appliances and island around the house, BlackDog damaged the cabinetry and island and the granite top for the island came unglued. Twice, the electrical wiring that fed power to the island was pulled up through a hole in the floor that was cut in the middle of the walkway instead of underneath the island. Twice, it had to be rectified. Although our interaction with the company’s owner began pleasantly enough, when the project was almost complete and it came down to money, things got ugly, causing huge amounts of stress for our entire family. It took weeks to resolve and finally get the job completed. All in all, it was a terrible experience for us. On the bright side, there are a few good people who work for or with BlackDog who knew what they were doing and who spared us a worse experience. They know who they are.
