Above All Construction

Woow Nice

I had them contract out windows, hardy board siding and paint for new siding. Nick Self, owner, came out and bid the job. Never could contact him much after that even though we took them on to do the work. He had his dad put up with my complaints. Imagine that!! They contracted out the windows and sliding door. We had no issues with the work the window people did. Had to replace both sides of new sliding door due to shade inside pane contraption not working right but was done timely. The screens needed trimmed better plus some of the tubing used to hold screens in place needed adjusted. Brianne was subcontractor for the windows and handled my complaint professionally and actually did the trimming of the screens and adjusted tubing.
The subcontractors used for the siding was a roofing company employees?? Clueless how it was agreed upon how the siding was supposed to be applied without needing trim on very seam. Originally told Nick no trim and he said no problem we can use trim coil. During tear off electrician they called out cut wiring I pointed out was dead but took upon himself to decide my cable carrying my internet was not live! Idiot!! I had to call internet company to splice together with new coax to reconnect my internet which I was unaware was not working until electricity was back on after dropping line to the box and re attaching to new siding and had chance to check everything. Good thing that was no charge to fix!! By then electrician was long gone. The siding crew had big gaps on seams at first until I told them installing incorrectly. They ripped off what they started on and re installed new boarding. Good thing I’m retired cause I was basically project manager catching mistakes made. On the North wall, siding crew nailed into wiring and marked where elect. box was incorrectly. Phil Self started saying not responsible until I said the whole side of house was not electrified before they hit the wire and an attorney can be easily called. They found the nail that hit my stove wire and fixed issue. When working on tear off they left my attic space open too long blowing out a lot of blown in insulation I ended up having to rake up plus found lots of nails and some screws they never got picked up. They did good job on North side on clean up. They kept saying boss was hurrying them which creates mistakes like hitting live wires!! DUH!! The crew were Spanish speaking and communication with them was pretty frustrating. Then the subcontracted painter said I was nit picking cause I pointed out over spray on practically every new window plus sliding door and color popping through white trim from not enough coats of paint to cover that overspray plus cause I complained about noticing the spray application was obviously not done evenly. He threaten to walk off a job I was paying over $10,000 for after pointing out to him and his boss the obvious uneven applications. Tried saying lighting board design and all kinds of stuff to keep from doing what I asked. I said I don’t threaten people, BUT before you threaten like that, consider me calling my attorney. That shut them up and they completed the stuff I requested needed attention. The decorative stone application was done very well by those subcontractors.

I would never recommend this contractor to my worst enemy. They may be a good roofing company according to reviews but I’d never use them for anything!!!!
The job is a lifetime warranty so let’s see how well they stand by work done if I have issues down the road with siding or paint. My concerns about warranty on windows are zero cause Brianne is a standup guy. I think Phil Self tries to be a standup guy. I’m very well versed in the hardware field plus very mechanically inclined and know just enough to know how things are supposed to be done.
I gave 3 only cause the window guy Brianne did his part correctly plus the stone work. Otherwise ZERO STARS!! The window and stone crew deserve 5 stars. The guy they sent out to fix the issues siding crew did deserves 5 stars too.

Noticed a leak in the ceiling after a recent storm. Nick was able to come out that week and their team sealed it up with no issues since.
