Ream Construction

I am sooo disappointed with the services of Ream Construction. This was a referral by my insurance agent who I have called to let them know about ALL the problems we have experienced with this company. I ended up having three different project managers to complete this job and it took them 1 ½ years. A tree fell on the house from the wind so it entailed roofing, removing fireplace which took the brunt of the weight, and replacing with a gas fireplace. The biggest incompetent sign was a failure to communicate! I brought pictures of how I wanted the fireplace built, described it as a flush mount, and drove the half hour to the job site to show them the exact height I wanted the bottom of the unit installed to be located. When they completed it, (second project manager is now in charge), it was like a nightmare. I had this huge hearth that stuck out into the room and was almost up to the ceiling with a modern gas fireplace toward the bottom. When I told them this was unacceptable I started getting threats of how much more this was going to cost me!!! After that came the sliding glass doors which delayed the project as they had to be ordered 3x’s to finally get the right opening direction, and who knows what. Lastly, I requested to make the final payment after their 30 day policy… I requested an additional 3 weeks, and the finance person promptly sent me an email back saying they were putting a lien on the property that night which would cost me an additional $ 350 for filing. This is a company I say «Beware» …they don’t deliver, make threats and btw, can I put a lien on them for delaying the project? No, guess I better go to the Better Business Bureau!

Just amazed at how incompetent they are. Get another company to do the job.

I am a property manager in Monterey, had not used Ream before because I needed to get «what I thought was the best prices for my owners». After using them the first time, I realized their services were just as fast as my regular guys with better quality and they are more efficient. Their disaster service division is outstanding in the event of fire or flood. I have since used them several times for both large and small projects and have no complaints.

Ream Construction is a joke! Especially Scott! My family have been screwed over left and right by Scott who claimed to own the business, to have a full warehouse of product, said he had a huge crew to do the work, and said he does not do business with Home Depot. All was a lie. 90% of the product came from Home Depot after Scott specifically stated that he had his own warehouse of product that he would warranty all the product and work and he doesnt use Home Depot because he didnt warranty their product. Then, the bathroom was explained on how we wanted it to be and they then change the whole layout and it made no fricken sense. The shower they purchased was a POS tiny little thing that was more than 3x more expensive then a shower kit at Home Depot and was more than double the size. They also preped the bedroom floors with the wrong flooring for lamanent flooring. They lied about what they completed to the insurance adjuster too. I dont even want to give them 1 star. It has been over a month in a half and they maybe worked 4 days at the house and the work was maybe 20% done. (out of the job they were doing). We ended up firing them and having another contractor come out and do the work. He started the very next day with a total of 4 men working and completely the entire 80% of the left over job in 3 days. Even worked Labor Day just to finish the work. Its all absolutely beautiful. After living in a hotel almost 2 months my family is finally home. Not thanks to Ream but thanks to another construction company. An honest and hard working one that came in and finished the job Ream couldnt do. Whatever you do dont go through Ream. we are still battling with this company and all their lies. Nothing but lies and fraud with them. Especially Scott!

worst company I have ever worked with. If i could rate no stars I would. They are nice when they are trying to get you to sign on with them but after you are, they treat you like shit. Everyone one from office staff to the foreman who was in charge of the project. I would have preferred to pay double to someone else because these people are not good. They made the problem in my home worse and didn’t even fix the problem they came in here in the first place…

Ream Construction is the place to call if you value integrity and competence. We learned too late that our dream home came with a huge flaw: hundreds of square feet of terraces spanning three floors that leaked like sieves. By the time we realized it, damage to the interior of our home was extensive, from the obvious sagging and ultimate failure of large portions of the ceilings and walls of several rooms in the heart of our daily living space to the concealed warping and displacement of a specially ordered front door and side panels. Nothing escaped ream’s inspectors. This was a huge job that two other contractors started and abandoned. We were turned on to ream by our insurance company’s field adjustor who has seen a lot of contractors come and go over the years. Ream was in and out in 10 days and you absolutely cannot tell that anything ever happened — the repairs are invisible and they meet the undamaged surfaces seamlessly. I hesitate to single anyone out, although it is tempting to give special praise to certain individuals. Instead, I prefer to say with confidence that everyone from the site manager to the office to the laborers works as a team — they’ve been together for years and work together very well. If you want a be treated with respect and consideration, want your phone calls returned instantly, want your workers to treat your home like their own, and end up with a place that looks like new again, you need to call Ream.

I had Ream Construction handle a major repair in 2008 to a bathroom that had a shower pan leak based on my previous property management firm recommendation. Ream seems to farm out all the work and I had to call Ream to let them know when things such as re-​installing the toilet were missed. So much for project management.
Now, I just had a home inspection completed and they identified several issues with the bathroom repairs. 1) the toilet flange wasn’t attached to the subfloor making the toilet wobbly. 2) the waste lines were not properly secured to the subfloor and 3) the water line to the toilet under the house has a slow leak near a joint and appears to have been there since 2008.

I had Ream construction do a addition to my house of a bedroom bathroom and family room. They were great! The handled the job from beginning to end. Their staff was professional and courteous and their finish work was amazing. So just last year I called them back for a kitchen remodel and I am just as happy with that as my addition. They helped me design my kitchen put on the finishing touches and even alerted me to a sale that the cabinet maker was having so I could add a few extra things at a great price. Thank You Ream Construction.

After 8 months of delays, excuses, lies and downright incompetence, the repairs due to damage to my house in Pacific Grove from the October ’09 rain/​wind storm were FINALLY completed. Needless to say, I DON’T recommend Ream Construction, The Floor Store, or Disaster KleenUp (all under the same ownership).

I had Ream Construction do a bathroom remodel in my house, and everyone from the office staff, to the foreman, to the carpenters and painters were a joy to be around. They gave me confidence that they knew what they were doing, were patient when I asked them a million questions, and ultimately delivered outstanding craftsmanship with their work.
