Trace Brash Construction

My wife and I purchased our home in March 2013. As with many homes in NEPO, it was a recently renovated home from the ‘20s, but incomplete. The garage needed a new bottom sill plate, which seemed like the perfect project to «test» a contractor on, so I called multiple contractors for a bid, including Trace. Trace was quick to respond to our request, provided a professional quote with different options for how to approach the work. We selected him over others as his quote was more reasonable (by 20%), his quote more detailed (which demonstrated his knowledge/​experience) and his lead time was shorter. His team (Tim and Jose), performed the work during the super cold-​spell we had in January and completed the work on time and on budget. My garage is fixed and there hasn’t been any issues with the work.
With the garage project completed, we felt confident in Trace’s approach and team to contract with them to finish our basement. This being a larger project, I spent months deliberating on multiple designs with varying materials. Trace was very accommodating of our «flip-​flopping» nature, providing multiple quotes for each of the options. Once my wife and I settled on the design/​materials, Trace’s team was quick to spring into action. During the project, there were a few small, unexpected increases in project scope related foundation sealing, but these were few and limited. As with the garage, the project was completed on time and on budget. We now have a wonderful, thermally controlled, «finished storage» media/​play room.

Can’t trust a contractor who drives like a maniac. Cut us off and nearly caused us to rear end his stupid ass, because he decided to speed through dense traffic. If you’re that irresponsible driving around school buses, I’m not going to trust you on my home. Which is ironic, because we were having a discussion in the car about how hard it is to find a good contractor, because we have a lot of work coming up on our home and a rental property. Screw you guys.

Exceptional work! Dedicated workers! Professional!
Tim, Trace’s right hand man, is amazing! He can fix any problem.
He’s honest, reliable and skilled! Highly recommend!
