Dave Lane Home Improvements

Based on the review here, I asked to have an estimate for work needed on my house, new attic vents.
Also I needed to have wood replaced and painted on each corner of my house.
The person arrived in a week and walked the job through, he took notes and seemed interested, he was the estimator. It was early in May, 2015 I asked when I would get the written estimates. He told me Friday, this is when he writes up all estimates.
Friday came and went, I heard nothing? My wife said if they can’t get an estimate to you when stated, will they work ok? A Red Flag she said. I told her it early May, it will be here soon, about 10 days later I got the estimate via email. With in a few days I called to schedule the world, I spoke to a Katelyn, she told me they were very busy and would not be able to perform the work till late July or August. I requested a specific start date and expected completion date.
Fast forward its now later July 21^st, I resend an email asking for the dates again ! I am now told they can’t do the work until Late Oct or November ?
I told her I an confused what happened? She say to many jobs, I got pushed out yo late in the year?
She said Sorry ! Later in the day she emails me and ask if I still want the work done, I told her that the work required painting and I think it will be to cold out? She emails me back and says, I see on the estimate painting, it may be to cold to paint, so what do I want to do now?
I told her I will find someone else to perform the work???
Hopefully someone who cares, hopefully someone that is not so busy, that they can keep appointments, wow try and hire someone close to the neighborhood just didn’t pan out.
Seems like many good reviews, maybe he just getting to big to fast?
So when the estimate is late, calls aren’t responded to, work get pushed months out, can’t finish the work due the cold, I have to think my wife was right, at the very first sign of not doing as they said they would!

I found this company on another paid review website (A.L. — not sure if I’m able to say the name). He has the best reviews with a grade A. We had our home broken into and needed to get our back door fixed. He came out right away since he understood our concerns. He is pretty much a full service contractor and can do pretty much any job plus he’s a really nice person. He is clean, respectful, and I felt safe with him coming in our home (unlike some of the other scary contractors we dealt with — who we feel may even be responsible for the break in but won’t even go there). I would definitely recommend this company.
