Constraction reviews in Salem, Oregon

Good people & Good work

The owners are amazing, great people. Super easy to get along with, and very knowledgeable. They do great work here. I highly recommend them to everyone !!!

Mistakes were made. We went into mediation on reparations. Ended up settling for 10%. They are very good at the mediation. I would not recommend them for anything else.

14 years ago Conkraft removed the remains of my old crumbled driveway
and front walk and installed a beautiful new driveway and walkway. Today that driveway and walkway are just as beautiful as they were 14 years ago! I still feel good every time I walk on them!

My biggest financial mistake to date, but thru pics I will let you draw your own conclusions

Where do I even begin? First off this company charged astronomical prices for their service. They were recommended as a professional company that will do the job right. If I had known I was going to get what I got if have avoided them like the plague. I have detailed conversations with this company where they minimized their shotty work, that they would not continue with with out payment for said work, added to the bid for things that were obviously things that needed to be done when writing the bid. The office manager was rude and condescending. The construction site was a complete mess the entire summer with materials, nails, scraps, etc strewn everywhere. Had compaction reports done in places they new would not be a problem on native ground (opposed to where the fill was added). Their compaction was done by driving a tractor over it instead of using the equipment to do it right. Their compaction tests were done after the.house was on sight and assembled. Which it should have been done before it was placed. Widened the drive by dumping 3/4 minus on top of mud (opposed to using drain rock. So of course it sank and was useless) Widened a culvert and filled with 3/4 minus again opposed to drain rock so of course again the entire area washed away. Their conduit lines caved in across the driveway they never fixed it I had to. When septic issues were arising they advised me to contact the company that installed it, even tho they were the general contractors hired to do the job. Concrete floor is caved in (has to be torn out and re-poured). Beam in the shop is split to a level that is going to require it being replaced.
The list could go on. This has been my experience with them. Maybe there is some lucky people that they actually did a good job for. Maybe I'm just unlucky. Or I guess it could be that they got lucky on a couple jobs, just not mine.

To answer your reply...
Name one of my claims that was incorrect. I will gladly provide that proof in my pictures. You did not resolve any of the issues. Furthermore... You are curious of why 2 years later I post a bad review. Well just because it was 2 years ago doesn't mean you suddenly deserve a good review. I don't care if it was 10 years ago. You over charged me and did shotty work. I have the pics and the convos to show it. How about the one where your project manager told me that all concrete cracks. Is that true? Or is that to the best of your top guys knowledge base? Because I can literally walk into almost any and every building and they don't have busted up, cracked, sunken floors, that have foot prints and swirl marks. Or the driveway widening, the conduit lines caving in across the driveway, the compaction report not being where the fill happened, the beams in the shop splitting apart where the floor failed and causing stress, or the septic being a total lake when it rains.
And what really funny is your reviews. The good ones. Some of them are people that work for you, or associated to your company thru it's workers. Not people that have had real experiences. I will gladly show you how I came up with that info as well.

Wow.... If I could turn back time, I'd have read through their terrible reviews and made a better, more educated decision before hiring them. When I showed our estimate to another contractor along with the work they did, they shook their head in disbelief. I urge anyone to read people's reviews, the writing is on the wall. I'm surprised they are even in business

This company shows up on time great communication and kept the job moving forward and finished on time. Their workers and sub contractors were great clean and busy you get what you pay for.

Joel is rude and condescending towards women. He talked down to my wife as if she was stupid. Continuing to talk over her. Refused to makes changes we wanted in OUR home because it did not look right to him. Sir, you do not live in our home and we do not care how YOU WANT THINGS TO LOOK LIKE. If my wife wants colors that clash..... it's not up to you.... our home our colors!

Responsive and great quality. Would recommend.

Joe and his crew were so great to work with. They painted the exterior wood on our home, it looks great. I really appreciated doing business with them.

Joel and his crew worked on my mom’s house and they did a great job replacing the siding and painting the whole exterior house, they also did a complete remodeled one of the bathrooms, I highly recommend Joel and his crew.

Joel and his crew were amazing. Very prompt and responsive. The crew was very friendly and communication was great. I would highly recommend them.

Joel and his crew did a great job in our house, his attention to detail and professionalism was outstanding.
I will highly recommend him for any paint jobs and repairs.

I cannot recommend Joe and his crew enough. My house looks beautiful. In the process of painting my house Joe discovered really dangerous water damage and wood rot due to a badly leaking roof, and he juggled his schedule to do a major repair. He did a fantastic job. The crew could not be nicer or do better work.

Joel and his crew did an excellent job repairing and replacing damaged hardieplank siding, fascia boards, painting my house and trim, repairing my front door, replacing my front door handle & lock and porch lights. The crew was focused and hard working. They cleaned up after the job also. I had good communication, my calls were always returned. I would use this contractor again. I give them my highest recommendation.

If you are looking for a diversely skilled crew who pride themselves in high quality work, clear communication, and on-time performance, then you want to work with Joe. I've had Joe provide exterior painting, partial drywall tie-in and texture, interior painting including trim, exterior door framing and hanging, and a few other odd-jobs. Every single time he's been a pleasure to work with. He's honest, gives reasonable bids, provides great explanations for the work and for follow up communications, and always meets my schedule needs. He will always be the first person I call when I have a project to tackle. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Joel and his team did a great job remodeling our house. We needed a complete interior face lift, including new flooring throughout, 2 remodeled bathrooms with tiled showers, new canned lights, a remodeled kitchen with new cabinets and appliances, fresh interior paint, retextured ceilings, installation of a wood stove, and a new kitchenette. The team was skilled and paid attention to details. Joel was flexible, managed a lot of supplies in our absence, and did not hesitate to make adjustments when requested. His team was very trustworthy and worked hard. We plan to use him for future projects!

Joel performed an extensive remodel to a 100 year old Tudor style fraternity at OSU. Joel and his crew are true professionals, with ability to perform demolition, framing, sheetrock, painting, and door installation in a challenging environment with excellent results. We will have them back to finish the next phase.

Joel is a wonderful contractor! He's very professional,
skilled and patient. He has painted our entire interior, trim, doors, everything and it looks perfect. He remodeled 3 of our bathrooms, our kitchen, and countless other projects ranging from electrical to plumbing to drywall to everything else in between. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone! He's awesome!!! :)

Joe and his crew painted our house , replaced some rotten siding as well, in addition replaced our deck, which was a large project, and front porch, all turned out very nice , also replaced a garden gazebo, perfect. He and his crew worked very hard, often times were here into the evening. They were very nice, Joe listened to our ideas , and addressed any concerns we had in a very timely manner. It all looks so nice, we are very happy with how it all turned out

Joel and his crew painted the exterior of my house. They were very professional and addressed all my concerns. They completed the job in a timely manner and a fair price. Joel took the time to explain to me in detail things that other paint contractors didn't. I would highly recommend them.
