I have used this company on an ongoing basis since 2012. Allison, the owner is one of the most knowledgeable and caring contractors I have ever met. She cares about doing everything 100% correctly and above and beyond code. Remember Mike Holmes from HGTVs Holmes on Homes? The guy who would be called in after another crappy contractor screws up their homes and he would remedy and do everything correct? Allison is the female version of him. She isn't going to be your cheapest option, but that is because she does everything above board, has all of the licenses and insurance, and keeps

I was excited to support a female contractor, Allison Allain, owner of PCI Builders, to remodel our two bathrooms, but was quickly disappointed by her unprofessional behavior. She starts with a two phase proposal which includes the Planning and Designing phase and the Construction phase. Our planning phase proposal was $12,500 with no change of floor plan layout! $6,000 was for planning and $6500 was for drawings, floor plans, and going to the city to pull permits. When I explained to her that none of the other 3 contractors who had given me bids mentioned drawings, she claimed that they weren

Hiring PCI Builders for our kitchen remodel was the best decision we could have made! When my husband and I purchased 1923 bungalow, we knew that we wanted to hire someone who understood our desire to renovate with respect for the architectural history and character of an older home; we wanted to preserve some of the quirks while making it more compatible with modern living, but we were overwhelmed by the process. Where do we begin? How do we prioritize our project wish list? How can we make the best use of our (not unlimited) budget? As a first time homeowner, these questions were just the tip

We have used PCI Builders on a number of occasions. Most recently, they remodeled three bathrooms and extended our laundry area. Not only was their work outstanding, they also saved us a ton of money by offering us more reasonable alternatives to our dream list. I truly appreciated the level of communication I had with Allison and her team.
I'm sure I'll be adding more great things to this review. We already have it on the books to do a custom office, replace sliding glass doors, and design (and build) a new kitchen. I can't wait to see all of the great projects we'll be doing
