SGS Builders Inc.

SGS Builders Inc., headed by Mr. Steve Sanders, is an absolutely amazing team of skilled and friendly craftsmen who truly care about their work and pleasing their client with a first class product. They epitomize true professionalism in this contractor-rich area. We recently hired SGS Builders Inc. to take on a major project we had been putting off for several years. Steve Sanders and his confederation of construction contractors made this project (we had been dreading) look almost easy. The project was a combination of construction (turn a dilapidated carport into a first-rate garage w/new concrete flooring, finished interior, door opener, and driveway, add a three foot extension onto our existing front porch with ceiling fans and recessed lighting and slate floor, add a new slate sidewalk, and a transit window at the top of our second story staircase) and upgrades (replace architectural roofing, replace gutters, install Simonton windows, doors, Cedarboard siding, and finish with all painting and electrical work). The cost of the entire project was well over $100k. The project was completed in two months with no re-dos. We received other bids, and while SGS was not the cheapest, we felt that Steve Sanders had the seasoned maturity and integrity to get it all done in minimum time and with real quality construction. Even before we inked a contract, Steve spent his own time investigating and surveying the project to be sure he limited any surprises and his/our exposure to risk. Steve was either on-site or readily available every single day of the contract. He addressed each and every detail of the project and questions/concerns we had immediately and always accommodated our intentions. He ensured that there were NO dead time days except for one period of heavy rain during the concrete phase of the project. There were contract teams on site every day. Needless to say, we made a great choice in contracting with SGS Builders Inc. for this project. Steve brought a crew of "known" craftsmen who he had worked with on his many projects from 15+ years. They were all steeped with the "SGS Builders Way" of doing business---arrive on time, work with great skill, keep the client informed, produce a quality product and clean up each day. Of note were his carpenters and electricians (new garage and porch construction), masons (garage floor, slate porch and sidewalk, and driveway). Also his teams that completed the roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and painting phases were exceptional. All-in-all, this contractor and his team exceeded our most hopeful expectations for a beautiful and functional finished product. I do not think anyone in this area could have matched the care and concern that SGS Builders exhibited in completing our plan and reacting immediately to design changes. We couldn't be happier for a job well done; our money was well spent.

The workmanship has stood the test of time and has been praised by many of my neighbors and friends. We just recently sold the house as we are moving to Texas to be nearer family and the house sold in record time with a premium price for the neighborhood. I attribute much of this success to the work that Steve and his crew performed for us.

I had water damage in my finished rec room basement; what a mess! I contacted Steve Sanders (who renovated my kitchen the year before) to assist in repairing and replacing the walls, flooring, etc. Steve came over promptly to assess the damage and determine what needed to be done. After I chose the new flooring, paint and carpet, he and his outstanding staff of employees went to work. They removed the damaged flooring, installed new flooring, repaired the water damaged wall, painted the entire room, laid new carpet on the stairs, and laid a new area rug. It looks BETTER than it ever did! Steve is the ABSOLUTE BEST in his field. He is tremendously talented, knowledgeable, professional, and has a wonderful work ethic. I am so glad that two friends recommended him to me to renovate my kitchen last year; it turned out beautiful! I would not hesitate to hire him again to perform any work on my house. If you're looking for the best, call Steve.

Our extensive 2010 remodel was a positive experience from start to finish. Steve Sanders, SGS president as well as the lead carpenter, was outstanding to work with. His initial design captured all the goals we had for remodeling, and was attractive, stylish, and in keeping with the size and character of the house (a compact, 3-bedroom, 50-year-old ranch). In fact, several people have volunteered the comment that the new exterior portion looks as if it's always been part of the house, not an addition. This is especially notable since the front addition contains mixed brick which needed to closely match the bricks in the existing house. Steve's scheduling ability is remarkable. At the time we signed the contract, he estimated that the job would require 12-16 weeks. He reached substantial completion at the 12 week milestone and the few small punch list items were completed and final inspection obtained by the end of the 14th week. This despite the fact that we requested additional work during the remodel that increased the overall effort. We found that the subcontractors and vendors Steve used were professional and reliable. He orchestrated the work to be done and delivery of materials so that things were on-hand for installation as the necessary subs were ready to start their tasks. A complicating factor was that we lived in the house throughout the project so Steve had to literally work around us and complete new space for us to move into so work could be done in the remainder of the house. Steve's focus was not limited to getting things done quickly. He has an extremely good eye for detail; ensuring that the finished work was high quality, from the style and color for exterior siding, to placement of cabinet hardware, to the evenness of stain on the hardwood floor. He also was conscientious about keeping the overall property reasonably neat and clean throughout the process. The resulting improvements to our home are both beautiful and highly functional - everything we had hoped for. We have no negative observations whatsoever and would happily refer SGS Builders to anyone, and will hire him again if the need arises. Description of work: Extensive home remodeling including new construction (kitchen, master bath, walk-in closet); remodeling (family room, screened porch, front porch); and refurbishing (refinishing hardwood floors, replacing all interior doors; replacing fixtures and installing new tile floor/tub surround in full bath;, installing tile floor and relocating washer, dryer, and utility sink in laundry room; and installing new tile floor in half bath). In total, every room in the house and both the front and rear porches were included in the scope of work. Six years later we are still just as pleased with the quality and livability of our remodel.

Steve and his team did a great job opening up an exterior wall with a larger sliding glass door and a matching 4 foot window. We worked together on the plan. He improved on my ideas and his team executed the job perfectly. The brick work was particularly impressive. We are very satisfied and enjoy the improvements to our home every day.

Steve is a personable professional who completes the job in a very timely manner. He is good with keeping you informed on upcoming tasks and budget. The main thing is the quality of his work. If it isn't right Steve won't accept it, whether it's the quality of the material or the workmanship. We hired Steve to build an outdoor structure or "screenhouse" to watch football in. It's a 3 season room and, it came out wonderful. Below is a picture of the fireplace.

Steve Sanders and his assistant, Enrique, were professional in every sense of the word. Working with Steve was easy because he listened and provided guidance and recommendations - but followed our wishes with respect to all aspects of construction. He answered questions no matter how elementary and followed up on requests regarding work in progress. Steve is a master carpenter and therefore not professional in many other areas. The subs he uses for siding, gutters, painting, HVAC, electricity, and carpet installation, all were very professional and did excellent work. Steve coordinated all their work including timing, specs and work in progress and review of finished work. Since my wife and I are sticklers for detail and quality work, we inspected work in progress and end of day progress. At no time were we disappointed. A few minor items we noticed were always taken care of the next day - none involved overall quality nor affected schedule or ongoing activities. All workers who worked on site, cleaned up every day before they went home for the night. On the first day of the job, SGS put down plastic runner over the carpet from the front door to the stairs; on the stairs leading up to the second floor and then across the hall and bedroom to the bedroom closet . It was also run from the garage entry in the kitchen to the hall and back to the front door. This way any dust or dirt work might bring in, was never in touch with the white carpet. The plastic runner conformed to the carpet so it was no hindrance to walking on the carpet. All in all, the finished job looks great from the outside and the inside. Since Steve was a stickler for details and proper construction, we expect over time to be very happy with the addition which will add value to the house. Even the county inspectors never had an issue with the work done and approved all work at every step. Description of work: Over the garage of our single family detached house, is storage space that is accessed through a door from our MB closet. The ceiling is very low due to the slope of the roof and it is open to air from the outside from the soffit vents - thus very cold in winter and hot in summer. We wanted to better utilize the space over the garage as actual working space. Therefore, we hired SGS Builders to renovate the space into a dormer, with 8 foot ceiling, electric outlets, lighting, HVAC, windows, shelves. A hole was cut into the roof over the garage; walls put up; existing floor to new dormer reinforced from below (accessed from the garage ceiling); new duct work ran from the HVAC unit in the attic; new electric lines ran to the circuit breaker box in the garage; etc. When done, all was painted and carpet installed. Basically, a new addition to the house. Work Completed in April, 2013. Now, 3.5 years later in September, 2016, still very satisfied. The addition is used every day and has never given us any problem.

About 10 years ago at a neighbor's recommendation, I hired SGS builders to add a 3 level addition to my home. Steve showed us computer drawn views of our described build. His projected costs were mid-range. There was no plumbing in the build. He planned out the schedule which included: removing a fireplace, digging a basement level foundation, HOA permissions and county permits and a new deck addition and old deck reno and moving original AC to a better place on the side of the house. He also added two full size basement windows in the old part of the home and replaced sliding doors on two levels. While the basic three levels were plain rooms, they included hardwoods, a bay window and smooth integration into the original house - a total of 600+ square feet. Steve added a requested small octagonal stained glass window upon request. The only unexpected cost came when the third level beam needed support in the garage. He had to pour considerable concrete and add a post in the middle of the garage. He was careful to place it between bays. Steve was the general contractor, yet was at the house every day of the build and left it clean and safe for my small children every night. He supervised every sub-contractor carefully. He told us when he would start and when he would finish and he stuck to his schedule - finishing a week or so before his projected end-date. The work was exactly as I requested, the price was fair, the care and timeline was extraordinary. It has been 10 years and it still looks good.
