Masterfield Construction LLC

RUN away from this company. I never write reviews but feel it my civic duty to do so on this one. Besides the bad work that we had to have redone, they are dishonest, and will yell at you if you have a problem with them. Their son is an attorney, so they have a contract that is completely one sided and they will take you to court if there are any problems. WE FIRED THEM half way thru our job. When I was at court, there were other customers of theirs there as well with equal horror stories and the lady turned to me and said "if you had actually posted your review with your experience, we may not have used them and had our problems". So here I am. I truly do not want to ruin anyone's business, but if you aren't going to do an honest days work for the money you are paid and you will sue someone at the drop of a hat, I feel people need protection from you.

TLDR: slow, expensive, poor workmanship. I'm giving them a 2 instead of 1 star just because I like Alan and his crewmen as human beings. I don't think they're necessarily trying to screw people, more just incompetent. I signed up for a time & materials contract with them because my building plan (post frame) was complex and was sure to present some unexpected challenges. $35k later I asked Alan to give me a bid to finish the project because he claimed we were 70-80% done and I was tired of watching it move slower and slower while costs mounted. He came back with a bid of and additional $54k to finish putting the roof on the place. I think this was more of a "screw you I'm not interested in your project anymore" bid than an honest assessment of project costs.

I found another honest hard working crew and they finished it for about $15k. It probably would have been even less but they had to spend a day or two fixing stuff that the Masterfield crew had messed up, mostly stuff that was far enough out of level / plumb / square that it prevented moving forward until it was corrected. I've attached a few photos, one of the last day Masterfield was there so you can see the state of the building when they left and a few recent ones to see where it got to for and additional $15k in the space of two weeks or so.

Another annoying thing was that when Masterfield left, then not only took all the materials I had paid for through them on the T&M contract (like nails, house wrap, etc.) but the also took all my roof truss hangers and hardware, which was stuff they didn't even purchase. I had to pester them for a week to bring me back my roof hardware but they kept everything else. They also mistakenly took my wheelbarrow and left their own, and they left a pile of scaffolding structural pieces that are still in my yard even after I told them multiple times that they forgot these and where to find them.

Overall, I wish I dismissed Masterfield sooner but the silver lining is that I found a solid crew to work with on future projects.

Legit worst people I have ever dealt with in my life. They just outsource the work, mess up the job, and get angry with you about it. Desk women is where the term Karen derived from. Alan is clearly not mentally well. I had to pay for someone to fix the job they messed up. I still paid them in full as they had a lawyer threaten a lean on my house. Please take the time to view my pic of the finished project from masterfield. Absolutely classic. Thanks for fixing my drain by using a hole saw in the front of my house. Great work lol
