Above Par Construction, Inc

I wish this could have turned out different. I had a siding quote done about a year ago and he (BC) came out and things seemed good. Then recently I contacted them saying I may want to proceed with their services he suggested a meeting to go over things. Meeting time comes no call/no show. I message them almost 20 minutes after and say they must not be interested. 10 minutes later he is at my door and I asked him I thought we were meeting at 6 and he said he had work and I asked why he couldn't contact me and he said he didn't have his phone. Not apologetic , non- chalant and very much gas lighting. Was still trying to get business but the lack of accountability, unprofessionalism and attitude shows how they actually will be to work with. I understand people have bad/crazy days but you don't treat potential clients this way. I hope you can work at this and become successful in the future. Update/Response to Above Par: To be clear that was the range B.C provided ("I can do either Wed or Thurs around 6-6:30 or Sat. around 11-11:30".). I responded Thu. at 6 would be great and he said "I'll see you then", I have the emails. I don't appreciate AbovePar's lying. No excuse for lying and unprofessionalism. You lost another star and $30-40K job. I don't believe the 5 star reviews, especially with processes like remodels. I even think the owner gave himself/Above Par a 5 star review so many of them may be friends, employees or family.

Robert and Belinda are amazing. They have been up front and very informative since day one. Ive always been an excellent judge of character and i can be a very difficult client to work with as i want everything done a particular way and i always ask an abundance of questions and document everything. This company is honestly the best company i have dealt with and look forward to working with them again on future projects. I cannot recommend them enough! If you want a no bs, up front, straight forward and honest company to make your dreams come true or repair damage to your home, look no further!

Let me start off by saying how unprofessional the person I called on the phone was to me. All I did was request a roof and exterior inspection of my home. I felt like I was being talked down to and in a very condescending way. Also wanted me to call the insurance route but once I said that was not the direction I was looking to take it seems like they wanted nothing to do with me as a potential customer. Very unprofessional and it shows with your previous reviews. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

We hired Above Par for Windows, Siding, Facia, Soffit, Gutters, Kitchen counter, bathroom reno, and LVT flooring installation. Signed contracts in early April 2021. One contract for work we were financing, the other for insurance work. We were told they use their own employees. They do not. They were all subcontractors, and it was also the first time for them working with the siding subcontractor. We were under the impression they would start as soon as the windows were manufactured. They did not. Instead of about 2 months, it took about 4 months to start the project. - They offered to move us up the schedule if we put down a larger down payment, even though we did give them thousands down. We were told that once they started, things would flow one project into another and get done quickly. This didn't happen. There were weeks/months between projects. Started in August, last project was done just before Thanksgiving. Windows installed poorly and missing parts. Incorrect Window installed. Am I just to accept this error??? Damaged ALL my window jambs and trim, then wanted to charge more to fix it. The damage was a result of them not measuring windows correctly. I had to install new jambs and trim myself. They left my windows installed in bare framing (studs). I had HUGE gaps between the window and the framing that I had to trim over to cover their mistake and make safe for my kids. Damaged my blinds and lost parts to them and many didn't fit since the window size changed. I had to replace ALL my blinds. Do you know how much it costs to replace 17 sets of blinds? I do.. Damaged my front awning, then wanted to charge more to fix it. Then left it torn apart. I had to put it back together myself. Damaged my AC unit outside, several months later, it's still damaged and no resolution on getting it fixed or replaced. Billed for services they didn't do, and threatened to put a lien on my house when I questioned the bill for things NOT complete and damage to my property. Items were removed/changed from the original contract as things were delayed, but they still took the financing money for those items. Never settled on a final invoice BEFORE getting the financing money. They just took the money with the promise that they will eventually get things completed. (Over 6 months later, things are still not resolved or have no plans to resolve) We were told to purchase the flooring in a hurry in July. It wasn't picked up at the store until October, then sat in my house for about a month before it was finally installed. Final inspection for the permit was never completed. Permit is now expired. We have MANY open issues that aren't resolved yet. Too many to list here. Overall, I would not recommend this contractor due to the lack of communication on what's going on, the billing practices for taking money for things they didn't do and threatening to lien if you don't pay, and for misleading customers on timelines to get things done and saying they have their own employees, when they were all subcontractors. They have yet to compensate me for fixing their damage to my property (Materials/labor). They took financing money for things they didn't do and tried to justified it because we withheld insurance money for other things they also didn't do and damage to my AC unit. My advice is to stay away. Services: Install flooring, Window installation, Gutter installation, Remodeling, Plumbing fixture installation
