Recommended Customer Reviews

We needed the wall above our shower tiled because the plaster walls were chipping and molding. We also needed the outside block wall of our house repaired after some plumbing demolition. I got two estimates, and VetsBuilt was a little lower. We had to schedule the work a couple weeks out because they were so busy, but they did the work in one day and it is beautiful. They did exactly what I asked for and it turned out better than I expected it to, honestly. Also, the crew doing the work was really pleasant, friendly and professional.
I didn't like that I had to go buy the tile and grout myself for the job, but it may have been cheaper than having the contractor do the shopping for me. Overall, I'm very happy with the work they did and recommend them!

I'd obtained quotes from several companies and was just having issues with communicating what I really wanted/needed to be done. I had a leaking patio roof and a broken, ugly patio concrete slab and I wanted both fixed or replaced. VETSBuilt was the last quote I obtained and once I met Bob, I knew I wanted him to oversee the work done on my home. Not only do I support the mission of VETSBuilt, but their work is solid. Bob is an excellent communicator via email, text and phone, and an all-around personable guy to work with. Their work is amazing, I highly recommend them, and I will use them again.

After interviewing several contractors we were so pleased to have picked this company. They just finished our 3 bathroom remodels. His pricing was fair and he always was prompt with follow up. Loved the tile crew too! Happy to share my pictures with any potential customers!

Had a visit from DJ on March 4th to discuss the various projects in our home. Nice guy. Seemed interested in the work. But I'm scratching my head as to why 20 days and one follow up phone call from me to him later I've still not received his estimate. DJ, if you don't want our project please just say so. Or at least reach out to me that you're behind and when you'll get it to me. No communication from you is not cool.
Reply to Bob Jenkins:
I did not initially contact DJ through Yelp. I called directly and set an appointment by phone. DJ came to my home on March 4th. Today is March 25th and still no estimate from DJ. I reached out to him last week and he didn't even seem to remember me. In 21 days he has not called, texted or emailed me. Which IMO is too long. I will not be emailing DJ as you requested. If he is this unresponsive over a quote I'd hate to see how things would go in the middle of my project. I'm moving on.

I'm writing this review as Bob and his team are finishing my patio roof extension/renovation. From start to finish, it has been nothing but top-notch.
From initial quote, to explaining additional cost (which was very reasonable) that needed to be included. Bob and his partner have been very timely and courteous with all aspects of the project. I couldn't be happier with end result, and they provided me with other sub's to have more work done in the future. His price for the job was exceptionally reasonable, and beat quite a few others. The workmanship has been outstanding.
So don't just give lip service to helping Vets, but actually do the right thing and hire them. You won't be disappointed.

I had given VETSBuilt a one star review previously for not contacting me when I ask for a quote. I am retracting that review and apologizing to VETSBuilt for not seeing their response via email through Yelp. They also tried calling me and I did not answer because I didn't recognize the phone number with an out of area Area Code. They also left me a voice mail that I did not see till later.
So since they have contacted me with an explanation and it was within 24 hours so I am giving them 4 stars. We worked things out and DJ was very courteous on the phone. They are now coming out tomorrow to give us our quote and we are happy.

DJ and Bob are a real class act. I have never met a crew that goes out of third way to help you in your time if need.
We (pre-Vetsbuilt) made an innocent mistake of hiring a design builder whom we found out after they walked off the job that they were also not licensed to be doing any of the work performed. Lesson learned.
Vetsbuilt stepped up, making everything a breeze from filing the correct permits to making sure all the existing work has been brought up to code and removing work that was just way to wrong to even correct. DJ and Bob are even making sure to keep the inspectors informed about regulations that have saved us a lot of money.
Another big advantage is they are willing join you in off site meetings with suppliers and this keeps you from having unanswered questions and surprises. No more of that oh I thought we talked about that kindest of B/S on the job site.
Vetsbuilt, always seems ready to tackle your junk and their subcontractors are on standby ready to tackle the job the next day! I am amazed about the speed at witch these guys work, they show up on site ready to work at 6 am and are busy all day. They aren't the kind that claim they been at Home DEPO all morning getting supply's and show at at 11 to unpack and take a lunch break.
These guys are straight forward, you get a real detailed contract that clearly states costs and when the payments are due. They are also a company that you can trust and this is hard to find. When you pay your invoice you know they will be there to fulfill it and not just take your money and run!
We are proud to be supporting this crew and I wouldn't be afraid to use this guys on any project big or small.

I hired Bob and his team to install an aerial rig point in my house. I am an aerialist, and I wanted to be able to practice my art at home. When I first started looking around for a contractor to do the job, I quickly realized that most contractors would raise an eyebrow and tell me they didn't even know what I was talking about, let alone how to get it done. Bob was not like the others! Rather than shying away from the challenge of the unfamiliar, he met with me in person and we thoroughly went over my needs. He asked the hard questions, and made it clear that his upmost concern was my safety. He put a lot of thought into the mechanics of my rig point (which for safety needs to be able to support 2,500 lbs dead weight!), and devised a very safe and sturdy apparatus. I am very happy with Bob's work and with my new rig point! Also, bob and his team were incredibly nice, friendly, and clean. They swept up after themselves before they left, and bob checked in with me the next day to make sure my apparatus was working well. With Bob's permission, I am definitely going to refer my aerialist friends to him! He understands the safety needs of an aerialist, and does a fantastic job. I am so grateful to have found a contractor who not only wasn't afraid of a ""different"" type of project, but who dove in and completed the project to the highest of standards. I highly recommend using Bob for any of your contracting needs!!

I had needed help fixing a hole in my drywall and a few other fixes around the house and reached out to VETSBuit to see if this was something they could help with. In less than an hour, they responded saying that not only they could help but would be happy to do so and provided me a handful of times they could come by in the next few days to do the work.
They were incredibly professional and explained the process to me as they started the job. I was curious as to how this worked as I watched a few YouTube videos thinking I could maybe do this myself, but in the end felt it was best to higher a professional.
I was very pleased with their work, professionalism, and helpfulness with me. I would definitely recommend VETSBuilt to anyone looking for a contractor that goes above and beyond your expectations.

I am a veteran and whenever possible I tried to use companies that are associated with veteran organization or use veterans. I contacted veterans Contracting and DJ came out give us a very fair estimate and we accepted it. Both of our bathrooms and our kitchen cabinets and lighting you were sorely in need of updating. I give them 5 stars. The job was done exactly to our specifications and the end product is fantastic. They are people of their word and you can trust if there's a problem it will be taken care of quickly and properly. I would not hesitate to use them again and I highly recommend them.
