Top questions to ask before hiring a design build firm

A professional will assist you with scope and estimates, but having a clear idea of what you want to accomplish will help communication.

Do you want professionals to do everything, or do you have the time and skill to do some of the work?

Many projects such as have a DIY component, such as painting or cleanup.

First and foremost, protect yourself and make sure the contractor and any sub-contractors are licensed, bonded and insured.

This company is an absolute joke! The people who work there from the management to the labor workers do not care for the project nor their customers. The project managers are never around, the president never answers calls nor emails.... They tell you one...

Initially impressed before I was signed on as a client. Once signed on as a client, poor responsiveness and lack of communication.

Scroll through the reviews here and you'll see the positive ones were left by the owner himself, Keith Venturi. This does not not surprise me or my co-workers, since he did some work on our office. Very sloppy work.

My family had a TERRIBLE experience with VP Construction and the owner, Keith Venturi. He outright lied to my elderly aunt and ripped her off. Who does that? Keith Venturi, that's who! AVOID this scum.
