Curiel Construction and Remodeling

Quick and friendly, but the crew and attention to detail leave something to be desired. Had to come back multiple times to make things right and I still wouldn't consider everything to be 100% correct, but rather 'good enough'. I do appreciate Gus's willingness to at least attempt to make things right, though. Seems like he may just be dealing with some bad eggs. Hope they get things figured out.

Don't Call ANYONE except Curiel Construction. GUS is who you WANT and NEED to hire for any construction job big or really small. My review comes from my husbands and my background in construction. Gus was hired by Upper Des Moines as part of a winterization grant that I was approved for. My experience with him and his crew was OUTSTANDING. Curiel Construction showed up on time on the first day. I had told Gus that his guys could start around 7 am the next day if they like to start early. Day two I had driven my husband to work and stopped at the grocery store so I was running late. My daughter called at 6:50 and said the guys just pulled in the driveway. I said, "okay I will be there soon." I didn't get back until 7:30 am and the Curiel Construction crew was busy doing things on the outside of the house that needed done. They did a fabulous job and definitely went above and beyond what was required by the grant. The whole crew was very considerate and friendly. Gus walked me through everything his crew was doing before they started, during the process, and after each project. When I questioned why he didn't do something or did something he would always explain that the grant requires things to be done a certain way. ( Which I confirmed with the inspector)He was VERY professional about everything. His crew was in and out in two days. The projects they were hired for and completed are as follows :
1: They Insulated the house using blow in insulation in the attic, gables, and exterior walls.
3: They did a full replacement of the front door and frame, installed new locks, repaired the back door frame, door, and installed a new seal on back door. Along with taking out the second front door, framed it in then closed it off with plywood on the exterior and drywall on the inside.
4: They replaced three windows and fixed two windows along with replacing the glass. They closed off, insulated, sealed, and drywalled the bathroom window.
5: They built a new attic access.
6: They used industrial spray foam 3 feet down from the rafters in the basement on all exterior walls except over the windows that were not broken. The windows that were they boarded them up and sprayed foamed over them.
7: They installed a dryer vent and vented it outdoors.
8: They also installed a vent and replaced some drywall on the ceiling in two spots.

9: They came prepared and cleaned up after themselves. Everyone took breaks at different times. Which meant work was always being done and they were very efficient and productive not wasting time.

I am positive that I am missing something in this list because they did so much. I am super excited I got the chance to meet Gus and have him working on my house. I would definitely hire him to do anything my husband and I don't want to do.
Gus needs to teach Mitch with North Central Iowa Services in Humboldt, Iowa and many other service providers in the state how to run their companies. Remember not only is a great job required, CUSTOMER SERVICE, DEPENDABILITY, RELIABILITY, AND COMMUNICATION with the customer is VERY IMPORTANT.

Gus and his crew came and did our insulation, replaced some broken window panes, weatherized a few doors, and replaced our rotten cellar door. They did great work and were the nicest, friendliest contractors we've had work on our house! I'd give them an A+ on customer service! My little boy was so sad to learn they were done with the work and weren't coming back the next day, haha.
