Thank you Bishop Construction Services! It turned out beautifully! So, rewind 6 months ago … our older stilted, 2-story canal home (for future retirement) right off Lemon Bay needed repairs, some extra TLC, and updating! Support beams from ground to 2nd level deck had to be replaced; old deck and staircase replaced with Trex decking; new aluminum screen room and handrails; new shingle roof; 2 walls of built-in, floor-to-ceiling, shelving in one guest room were removed; fireplace hearth built with stone work; kitchen was gutted; 2 walls removed to open kitchen to front entryway and to living area; carpet in 3 rooms removed; complete ½ bath added; guest bath gutted; ceramic tile floors installed throughout; AND, a 3-stop circular (PVE) elevator was installed in the center of the entryway. HUGE project and costly! We had no idea who to hire, not being familiar with Englewood or Charlotte County. Our Realtor gave us some suggestions and we moved forward with Bishop Construction.
When Michael Bishop, Owner, and Mark Mercer, Project Manager, first met with us, they listened to all our many ideas, we listened to their feedback, and they did their very best to execute our vision. Both are hard-working, honest, trustworthy gentlemen and a pleasure to work with. (Michael even had to tarp the roof on a rainy Sunday morning during the holidays when the roofers weren’t quite finished.) They have been professional, timely, skillful, knowledgeable, made appropriate recommendations for, and coordinated with, various sub-contractors for demolition, custom kitchen cabinets, propane gas installation and hook-up for new gas cooktop, Cambria quartz countertops, aluminum screen room and deck handrails, tile flooring, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and elevator specialists, streamlining the entire process to our complete satisfaction. The subs were efficient, courteous, and performed quality work.
Of course, no project of this size goes without a few hiccups or surprises. And, Michael’s ability to effectively communicate with us in problem-solving made for a great outcome! It was easy working with Michael and his team!
