TBS Construction, LLC

We had a great experience working with TBS Construction for an exterior remodel of our lake house. From start to finish, Jay and his team were professional, reliable, and skilled. Foreman Mike was fantastic! They listened to our ideas and provided their own suggestions to enhance the project. The quality of their workmanship exceeded our expectations, and the attention to detail was impressive. TBS completed the remodel within the agreed-upon timeframe and budget. We’re extremely satisfied with the final result, and our home now looks stunning. We highly recommend TBS Construction for any remodeling project!

Completed the work in a timely manner and did an excellent job. Would highly recommend them for future projects.

Jay and the TBS team did a kitchen and bath remodel at our house on SML. We floundered our way through several contractors, budget, designs and yet TBS was the team who waited patiently, worked diligently on the budget and design, and ultimately won the job. Their execution was excellent and professional. We’re very pleased with the total project and recommend TBS to anyone needed a remodel,partner.

Contracted TBS to add a third bay to our existing 2 car garage. This is the best building contractor I have hired. They have a well organized, experienced staff. They assigned specific people who were responsible for each phase of the project (design, estimating/proposal, procurement/material coordination, project manager, lead site carpenter and etc.). All these folks were very good at executing their roles and were readily available for email, phone or in person communication. Project pricing was very competitive and they closely met the promised schedule. The quality of the final product was also top notch.

Project: Renovate Sunroom from 19' L x 10' W to 34' L x 14' W Timeframe: Dec 2020 - Aug 2021, about 9 months. Objectives: • Add more living space with more windows to enhance view. • Replace dilapidated windows with rotten wood casements to Pella High Efficiency windows with built-in screens and shades. • Replace 1979 sliding glass doors with Pella High Efficiency sliding glass doors. • Add Mitsubishi Mini Split ductless HVAC wall-mounted unit to heat & cool expanded living area. • Replace tubular steel posts with stone-veneer columns. • Build small retaining wall to match stone-veneer columns and to secure lower deck gravel. • Replace upper and lower wood decks with zero-maintenance Trex decking. • Replace upper deck wood stairs with zero-maintenance Trex decking. • Replace upper and lower wood railings with Fortress Cable-V railing (black with vertical stainless-steel cables). • Re-grade landscape adjacent to lower deck so that rainwater flows away from house. • Add catch basin and drainpipe at end of driveway to divert rainwater away from house. • Add buried 4" drainpipe to carry gutter water away from lawn and into rock basin in nature areas. After meeting with TBS Construction President, Jay Gauldin, and his estimator in 2020 late summer, it was TBS's quote that was accepted out of three obtained. Jay impressed us with his focus on building customer relationships and the 17 years of experience that TBS had. All design and build objectives were met. The emphasis on customer relationships was carried on throughout the build with attentive early Project Coordination by Barry Bedwell and admirable Project Management by Deepraj Kahn. Particularly impressive was the ability to stay on budget after having to set the columns back 3' due to interference with the septic tank. Roof trusses and column footers had to be re-designed and new drawings had to be signed off. Also impressive was the ability to hold to the quote despite a COVID impacted 2021 that stifled material availability and raised material prices. Definitely a happy and satisfied customer. Two thumbs up to Jay and his TBS Team.

When I decided to do some extensive renovations on my home, I worked with 4 different contractors on the initial quoting. Although TBS was not the Lowest price, I was sold on them due to previous customer reviews and attention to detail in the quoting process. From the initial introductions to my team and throughout the 2.5 month project, I felt very comfortable with every TBS associate and all sub-contractors. Having experience in construction, it is expected to encounter a surprise or two on projects, new or old. While we had a few “hiccups” on my project, each time I heard “we’ve got this”, and they did. What I appreciate the most about TBS is their customer focus and commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this business and would hire them again for future Reno’s or new construction.

We updated our lake home with TBS including new flooring, bathroom remodel and kitchen update. We ran into several issues with product delays outside of TBS' control but they were so accommodating in working with us to make sure we didn't lose the summer to construction and figuring out how to complete the work while we still made use of the home. Their communication was great, they stuck to their original bid outside of changes I approved and they bill as work is completed in a straight forward way. I appreciate the partnership the team provided throughout the project.

Jay and his crew worked on a basement remodel and did a fantastic job from start to finish. They came out and provided an accurate quote including diagrams and a detailed description of the work to be completed. The TBS team worked quickly and finished the project within our budget and on time. Highly recommended.

Jay, Barry and Brandon were excellent partners during my condo project. The work was done on time, any small concerns were immediately rectified, and I love the final outcome!! Brandon was exceptional at communicating with me each week to keep me aware of progress. Thanks TBS for the great work!

TBS was our builder for a sunroom/basement addition, basement remodel, and new deck. The initial contract process went smoothly and they were open to negotiations to meet my needs and budget. TBS’ price point was very comparable to other companies of their size. The contractors assigned to my project were always professional, careful, and did their best to minimize disruption since we were still living in the house. One thing that was much appreciated (though expected) was the respect all employees of TBS afforded to my wife throughout the process, especially since we have worked with other companies that were condescending towards women in the past. The payment process was a perk for me, since we were billed only for the work completed during the month and did not have to pre-pay. Not only did this make budgeting easier but it was very easy to correlate the work that was going on with what we were paying for. In addition, any problems we had were either resolved immediately or an acceptable solution was found. The work did take a bit longer than was originally scoped, but based on others’ experience in home renovation we went into the project with realistic expectations and ultimately the work was completed within the timeframe I thought it would be. Overall I recommend TBS, and will most likely use them for our next project in a few years.

My name is Bill Sibbick, 3 years ago I was President of Chatmoss CC in Martinsville, Va. While president I started a Capital Expenditure project. One of the major projects was replacing 10 outside doorways and a huge bay window on the front of the club. This job entailed removing and replacing doors, hardware (including emergency exit hardware) side lights and a very large Bay window. Jay's group was awesome to work with. The communication was excellent from the very start. I touched base with them during the project and they always updated as to what was going to be done next and what the time frame would be. The supervisor and all the workers were extremely conscientious in every facet of the job. I would highly recommend TBS for any construction needs. They were very professional and their quality of work was outstanding.

TBS did a wonderful job. We couldn’t be happier with the results of our attic renovation. They’ve added a whole floor of living space to our home. People say “quality only hurts once” but in this case quality was the best option from the beginning. We received quotes from 3 different contractors. We almost didn’t select TBS because it took them longer to provide a quote but when their quote came in it was among the best in price as well as timeline. The ultimate deciding factor that made us choose TBS for this project was their knowledge and foresight. TBS recognized the structural improvements that would be needed to support turning the attic into livable space. The project went smoothly for the most part with the typical bumps along the way. The project completed on-time and on-budget. I could stop there and say that’s all that matters but really, it’s not. Anytime you take on a project of this size, things will go wrong. It’s WHEN things go wrong that you will know whether you have chosen the right contractor. TBS had the same response every time the was a problem. They simply said, “We’ll take care of it” and then proceeded to do so. When it comes to hiring a contractor, character means everything. We are very glad we found TBS. One last note. We have an old house that creaks as you use the stairs and walk down the halls. We learned to tip toe like ninjas on steppingstones to avoid the waking the baby when we went past her room. Our house still squeaks and creaks everywhere … except for where TBS built.
