What Our Customers Say About Us
EXCELLENT Based on 50 reviews Posted on Google MichelleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently put our house on the market and needed to finish a bathroom in our basement. I reached out to Blake with Creative Construction Solutions to see if he could help me. Unfortunately we were under a time crunch and needed it done right away and he wasn't able to help me with the bathroom. But he went above and beyond to get me the names of some of his contacts who may be able to help, even the name of a competitor. I was impressed with his timeliness, his willingness to help, and the integrity that he has as a contractor to even send me to a competitor. If I hadn't moved out of state I would definitely contact Blake and Creative Construction Solutions again to finish my basement.Posted on Google BasselTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Blake was phenomenal. Easy to work with. Super responsive communication. Very flexible. Clearly cares about the project and work done. Very reasonably priced.
