Chris, the owner, came out to assess the room addition we wanted. Seemed like a nice guy, smooth talker. Bragged all about his building for 26 years and all the fantastic work he does, (no pictures by the way). After we talked for about an hour, he measured and I gave him a picture of EXACTLY what i wanted, he gave me a verbal estimate that was 1/2 of what the future written one was! If you have been building for 26 years, like he said, how can you be SO far off! Then when I asked him about Fairway Construction, the last company he owed that reportedly swindled a ton of people in 2009-2010, and went bankrupt, he got defensive. Told me he had an A+ rating with the BBB. He should! I looked and he was a member since 12/2010. Gee...no bad reports in 3 months! Maybe that's a nice pat on the back for him at this point in his career. As I said, he got all defensive and then said, ""I think we'll take a pass"" on my addition. He wanted 75% of the money just after the rough materials were up. Sounds like a lot to me for not much work done. \r

I hope Chris realizes what a favor he did me by ""passing"" on my addition. Good luck 'Markinbrookfield', it sounds like you ARE screwed. \r

If you ever get the chance...make sure you ""take a pass"" on Rock Construction. \r
