Bigelow Construction

Sam Bigelow built our backyard fence, and I was so happy with the job he did, that I got him back in to do a much needed bathroom renovation. His company did a great job, and I would highly recommend Bigelow Construction for many reasons.

First of all, Sam started off with a very detailed quote which included project description, costs, materials and timeline. Then before starting work, we both signed a contract agreeing to terms and prices. You hear a lot of scary stories about unscrupulous contractors and disaster renovations so I like all this legal stuff. It's a lot better than trust and a handshake. Bigelow Construction also gave me a warranty for defects in workmanship, covered for a period of 5 years from date of completion.

Work on the bathroom renovation included a partial gut job, leveling of floors, laying of new floor tile, new bathtub, sink vanity and toilet, new shower tiles, and some small finishing touches. The completed job was really beautiful. Eric and Curtis did much of the work. They were polite, trustworthy, meticulous, and tidy. The tiling work they did was of excellent quality. I had several different tiles for the bath/shower and they took a lot of care to get the pattern perfect. At the end of each day, they cleaned everything completely, which included vacuuming carpets. My stair carpet never looked so good.

Work was completed pretty much on time and within the price quoted. (This was true of the fence job as well). ). Work was of very high quality, and the end result is really great from both a functional and an aesthetic point of view. Price was also very reasonable. I bought the vanity, tub, toilet and tiles myself, which brought down the overall price. The total cost of the renovation was $7700, which includes my costs in purchasing those items, plus the amount paid to Bigelow Construction. If I had Sam acquire the tiles, tub, etc for me, then the total overall cost would have been higher.

I am writing this review about 4 months after completion, and there have been no issues with any of the work done, nor do I expect there to be any.

I would recommend Sam Bigelow and his company Bigelow Construction to anyone.
