This is the second time we've hired Seven Pillars and again an absolute joy to have working on my home. The first time they came in to fix a textured ceiling that needed repairs. When they were done I couldn't even till where they had worked. It was so perfect and they left the work area spotless. Just recently had them build the structure of my deck. Eric is very easy to deal with and in fact the value for service is way beyond any company I have had to deal with before. You get way more than you pay for and he makes it right no matter what. I will definitely hire Eric and Seven Pillars again and have recommended him to my boss for his project.
Seven Pillars (Eric) was contracted to reface our kitchen, which included new ceiling complete with pot lighting, new under cabinet lighting, and new white cabinetry doors. Eric was also contracted to redo our upstairs bathroom, which included new tile flooring, installation of a new vanity, custom cabinetry, plumbing modifications, and new faucets for the vanity and tub.
Eric and his team did an excellent job, especially considering they had to work around a very non-square kitchen ceiling and base cabinets; given those complications, we had to wait a while for some new cabinet re-orders. That said, my wife is extremely happy with the new bright and modern kitchen!
As for the bath, the plumbing upgrades are the highlight for my young boys; they love having a shower-wand addition in the jet soaker tub! The upgraded bathroom is now modernized and more functional for our young kids.
If you're looking for an honest and thorough renovation, call Eric at Seven Pillars!
Eric was the first person I called based on his past work and our experience. I have passed his name along to my Parents and friends. I would not hesitate to hire him again....I am pleased to have him as a "go-to" person. He calls when he says he will, shows up when he says he will..what can I say...no hesitation to hire him again..
used seven pillars for kitchen renovation and made a huge mistake. it took 4 months to finally just install cabinets and a countertop. the dishwasher was installed and leaked into my basement causing massive damages. seven pillafrs plumber came, said he fixed dishwasher and it leaked again and caused major damage. after plumber admitted it was his fault, eric from seven pillars lied and try saying it was not his fault and he he not responsible. this guy is a scabby crook. and I will take him to court and I have filed a complaint with better business bureau. trust me this company is bush league and run by crooks.
I Eric Lavoie am the owner and manager of Seven Pillars Custom Building, and I take great pride in the quality of work we give to each of our clients.
We were approached by Shawn in February of 2014 after he found us on TRUSTED PROS. He based his decision on the great reviews that we have. We provided him with a first estimate on February 8 2014. Shawn wished to do most of the work himself and solely hired us for a few tasks.
The first deposit payment was received on April 14, 2014. We purchased and delivered the Ikea cabinets on April 17, 2014. We installed the cabinets on April 21, 2014. Ikea had 2 cabinets on back order for 2 weeks, the cabinets were purchased and delivered on May 1, 2014. These 2 cabinets were installed on May 5. We had our granite counter tops company come and do a template on May 13, 2014 and install the custom granite tops on June 3, 2014. Our plumber finished all hookups on June 4, our electrician completed his part of the work on June 5 and I personally completed the hardware installation on June 6, 2014.
Based on these dates, it did not take 4 months to perform the work that we were hired for. It took just under 8 weeks including 2 weeks delayed by Ikea and over 3 weeks from the granite template to its installation. I have all the documentation needed to back up my facts.
After the granite tops were installed on June 4, I received a text message from Shawn saying,
"Granite looks amazing. Thanks. Your service and work I would give good reference 100%, thanks"
Shawn was completely satisfied with the workmanship that he received.
We performed a few different plumbing tasks including the hookup of Shawn's dishwasher. Since its installation, the dishwasher had been used multiple times without any incident. Shawn contacted me 3 weeks later saying that there was a water leak caused by the drain hose of the dishwasher. Because we value our customers and their satisfaction, regardless of the fact that it was not a workmanship issue, I offered Shawn to take care of all the water damage repairs and to take a look at the dishwasher drain hose, at no cost.
Our plumber did the repair and informed me over the phone that he assumed that the hose end connections on the dishwasher could be defective from the factory. He then ran 2 full drain cycles on the dishwasher to make sure that it was not leaking before he left. A few hours after our plumber left, I received another nasty text message from Shawn saying that he had left his young son alone at his house with the dishwasher running and that it had leaked through the basement again. I messaged him back telling him that we were now facing a factory defect which is causing the leak. Shawn could not agree nor wished to understand that this situation was caused by a faulty product, and not caused by our workmanship. I then offered to send our plumber again, but he refused. Our plumber is certified and has a great reputation. We have never experienced any issues of the sort in the 6 years that our plumber has been working for us. Due to the manufacturing defect on the dishwasher, Shawn should not blame us for his unfortunate situation. Shawn still has a substantial outstanding balance and refuses to pay us.
At Seven Pillars Custom Building, our reputation precedes us. We take great pride in the work we do and we do it with honesty and integrity.
We are very pleased with the finished product of our basement reno. Eric is a man of integrity , personable, payed close attention to detail and finishing touches, worked in a timely manner and stayed within budget. Also happy with the subcontractors for flooring, tile, painting. Any changes to design or budget were discussed as we went along. We love our new look for rec room and craft space as well as washroom. We highly recommend Seven Pillars Contracting and won't hesitate to call them for future projects!
I found 7 Pillars to be on time and on side with any quotes given. No money required up front to begin work. Also even if over alloted time the original quote is good with no increase asked or implyed.
Eric is "my guy" now - he will get all my calls for renovations. He and his subs were a treat to work with..they showed up either early or on time. Uses his time effectively. Friendly and knowledgable (answered all my questions).... I am super glad we found him. I have already refered him to a friend of mine.....do not hesitate to try Eric. He did work work at my residence and at a rental property. He listened to our issues and offered solutions based on his experience and even offered solutions that I hadn't considered....we are beyond happy..thanks Eric
