Stevens General Contractors

This is the second time we have had Stevens General Contractors do a project for us. The first one was closet reconfigurations, hardwood floor installation and finishing, in preparation for a bigger project this past summer. Needless to say, we were pleased with the first results, which led us to the big project with SGC. We had a large storage room built out behind our garage, with a master bedroom suite created above it. We had all new windows installed, new siding, new deck, and a new front porch. From the beginning, Brett visualized something we'd been thinking about for years, but had no idea how to make happen. The architect and Brett helped us come up with plans for what has become a lovely addition to our home. The subs worked hard and each group cleaned up after themselves before leaving each day.(or SGC sent someone over to clean up). We delayed the start of the project a year, with little change to the costs on the contract. We had a few unforeseen additional expenses, but still ended up near the original estimate. Brett originally estimated 4 months for the project and it was essentially 4 months. It's beautiful! We're completely satisfied with the work and the workers.

We used SGC to do a kitchen/living room remodel. It was life changing. Brett and his team exceeded our expectations. They exceeded the highly important goals of on time and on budget. I also had them do a small remodel on my daughters house and it turned out perfectly as well. I STRONGLY recommend them for any project.

I have worked with Stevens General Contractors four different times and I have completely remodeled the interior and exterior of two homes with SGC. I have also seen other projects they have completed including several custom luxury homes they have built from the ground up. SGC by all accounts is impressively professional and easy to work with. My projects with SGC included redesigning kitchens and bathrooms, redoing floors, electrical, plumbing, windows, AC, roofs, & driveways etc. SGC organized the process into very straightforward steps. They laid out the budget and timeline very clearly making it easy for me to stay inside the given budget and schedule. They offered VERY helpful design tips. Everyone they brought in to work on the various aspects of the project was incredibly helpful and professional. You do not have to worry about all the little things being left undone. They will complete every single detail of the project, even the tiny details you may have forgotten. From a small bathroom remodel to building your dream home from the ground up, I highly recommend hiring Stevens General Contractors for your next project.

We have used Stevens Construction on many renovation projects and we have been quite happy with each project. We highly recommend Stevens Construction and intend to use them on future projects concerning our home. They have a good eye to detail and are definitely a few cuts above standard contractors. They have been innovative with design choices and open in offering their expertise to make our projects better than anticipated.

Ryan at Stevens General Contractors was terrific to work with during my basement remodel. He and his crew were professional and very accommodating to my schedule. I wasn’t certain about some design choices and they were patient and offered suggestions without being overbearing. I found Stevens when a neighbor used them for 3 projects and I was able to peek in at their work and the quality of their employees. They are on the higher end of the pricing scale, but worth every penny. Their subs are dependable and Stevens Contractors warranties their work. I will be using Stevens General Contracting this summer for my next project and I’m looking forward to working with them.

We are so grateful to have the opportunity to work with both Brett and Ryan. They care about the quality of work and take care of both their customers and their contractors. We have worked with them as both a customer and a contractor and they do an excellent job. Highly recommend their services for home construction.

Brett Stevens and Ryan Mattice have been wonderful to work with. They are very professional and they know construction extremely well. I recommend them highly.

We do work for around a hundred contractors and Stevens General is one of the best. They take the time meet on site and work out questions to keep the job moving forward. Great to work with!! Thanks John Y SCW

I have been working with Stevens General for over a year now as one of their subs project managers. They are all great guys who are super easy to work with. They always are very organized and easy to schedule with. I never have any problems getting any of the guys on the phone and they are always very willing to answer any and all of my many questions! I have had a great experience with sgc and look forward to working with them in the future!

Sadly, we had a TERRIBLE experience with Stevens General Contractor. We do NOT recommend Brett Stevens nor his employee Ryan Mattice. (We hired them to build the outer shell-only of a 2 car garage with a small studio on top and a basement.) * Over a year into their estimated “2-3 month” project, they were still not done. We finally gave up and terminated our services with them, even though the work was still not complete. * They did not follow the terms of their own contract. Their contract stated: “to the extent reasonably possible all changes in the work will be reflected by written change orders signed by both parties.” However, they bid out, and accepted, a work order change that resulted in a $26,954 increase in costs - without ever notifying us. They defended themselves saying that more than doubling the estimate was routine, therefore this phrase in the contract didn’t apply. * They couldn’t effectively manage subcontractors. One of their primary subcontractors abandoned the project midstream. They could not convince him to come back and couldn’t find a replacement for MONTHS. We ended up giving them suggestions of people to call because they were not resourceful enough. * They were ABSURDLY over budget. On one bill alone their General Contractor labor costs came in ***10 times**** what the estimate was - from $500 to over $5,000. -- Total costs of the project were 24% more than estimated - and that’s not taking into account that the estimate included work they never finished. They approached these incredible overruns like it was no big deal - just their normal business practice. * Their lack of foresight forced us into unnecessary & expensive options. We wanted to expand our small porch by about 3 feet. AFTER demolishing it, they informed us it could not be done as discussed ~ our only options were to spend an additional $40,000 (insane costs), or rebuild it exactly as it had been. This meant they would charge us for the already completed demolition, charge us for rebuilding, and we would end up with the exact same size porch we had to begin with. * They made a large error in our billing. On our invoice they made a TEN THOUSAND dollar error ~ not crediting us for $10,000 that we had documented proof of having paid. *They did not do the work we hired them to do: They did not do the slope of our garage floor according to the architect’s drawings. Respected contractors told us this will lead to water problems. They acknowledged (AFTER we brought it up) that the work was NOT done according to the agreed upon, architect-drawn, plans, but stated (AFTER the fact) that this slope was in our best interest. They did not consult with us about this “best interest” change of plans, and refused to fix the slope to the drawings. * The electrical meter was installed in a way that interfered with the walkway and was aesthetically awful. They tried to defend this sloppy installation as “up to code,” but admitted it was not done in a standard/expected way, nor how they would have done it in their own home. * They not-so-subtly threatened liens on our house. Literally 26 hours after sending us a bill they texted us asking where the check was, cautioning us that delays could lead to liens on our house. We had always paid promptly and in-full. This felt not just annoying, but harassing. * They were unable to maintain safety. We stated very clearly that we could start construction at any time, but that once we started we HAD to finish the basement hole quickly, as we live in a densely populated area, including cars, transients, and children, and a large hole would pose a serious safety threat. They were unable to competently manage the project so a large hole was left exposed for months. Luckily, nobody was hurt in this hole, although a transient man did wander into the construction zone, fall, and get a concussion, so our concerns were legitimate. We are not new to construction, we understand hiccups happen. If 1-2 of these issues had come up we would have rolled with it, but we’ve bulleted 11 serious problems. They did respond to emails and texts promptly. In summary… if you want a contractor who: does not do the work according to the agreed upon plans, lacks foresight (leaving you with absurd and unnecessary costs,) makes expensive change orders without your consent, goes excessively over budget, makes errors in your billing, takes so long to complete the work that you finally just take him off the project, does not competently manage his subcontractors, “caution” you about liens on your house, (even when you always pay in full,) approves sloppy work that he wouldn’t allow in his own home, and can’t manage a project well enough to guarantee safety, this is the team for you.

We have been working with Stevens General Contractors for over 10 years. Every job we have been a part of, whether big or small, has been given the utmost importance and expertise by SGC and crew. They listen to every customer carefully and run an efficient schedule to complete the job in a timely manner and deliver their client's expectation. As a subcontractor It is important for my business image as well as our production schedule to work with quality contractors like SGC. I highly recommend Stevens General Contractors for any and all general contracting needs.

To Whom I t May Concern, It is with great pleasure that we give the highest recommendation of Stevens General Contractors. Their work on our remodel project at our home in Park City, Utah was performed at top notch professionalism. In the years we have worked with different constructors, we are proud to say that their team was one of the best we have ever experienced. Not only were they extremely knowledgeable of the building industry and construction, but each team member was personable and a delight to work with. Their attention to detail was impressive and the execution of each job was done on time and at the highest level of craftsmanship. It is rare to find a company like this that takes such personal care to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Stevens General Contractors have assembled a world class team that exceeded our expectations. In fact, we enjoyed working with them so much, they have been missed as being a daily part of our home environment. We cannot say enough great comments about Brett Stevens, Ryan Mattice and all the craftsmen who created a gorgeous home environment for us. Thank you! Sue & Gary Grant
