Have never been able to get them on the phone. When I did get an answer it's been a 3rd party message service, still no return call even after 5 messages left. Not totally sure they are still in business. Ended up having a home builder from out of town come build our home and outbuildings.

Report
It's hard to find someone who can handle all aspects of construction and also deal with insurance. Curt kept me from getting screwed by my insurance company and did a great job on the remodel. He did everything he said he would do and then some. I know of several people who have also used him and also had a great experience. He's really busy but always got back to me when I left him a message. He handled every problem that came up. I would definitely recommend his company.
