Mike Wood Builders and ReBath
Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Birthday!
This month we have two great employees with birthdays on the same day! Happy birthday to Micah and Dakota!

TIGHTWAD TIP: 

TRI-COUNTY EMC's website gave a good money saving household tip we actually use ourselves:

 

Consider compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) as replacements for incandescent bulbs. CFLs use about 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs to produce the same amount of light. CFLs also last ten to thirteen times longer than typical incandescent bulbs and contribute significantly less heat to the home. A wide variety of shapes, sizes, and wattages of CFLs are now available.

We hope your Valentine's Day is filled with warm memories spent with those you love. We thank you for spending some time out of your busy day with us. This month we have a great testimonial from one of our past clients that we think you will find interesting!

Testimonial 
Tony & Doris' Home
When you are considering updating your home it is always nice to find someone else in the area who's gone through the same process. This month's featured customer is Tony Thompson. Tony and his wife, Doris, had Mike Wood Builders build them a new home in Ivey, Georgia.

We asked Mr. Thompson if he would answer some questions about his project. Here is the conversation we had with him.

 

MWB: Would you recommend Mike Wood Builders?

 

Tony:"YES...ANY of your potential customers are welcome to come and take a tour of our home and let me show them WHY they should go with Mike Wood Builders. Any half way carpenter can do a decent job but sometimes you get what you pay for. It was the little things. ie.. Eric hand built our Mantel even though I asked him 100 times , whatcha doin with that? Just his tolerance of ME was enough ( insert laughter here).. He also hand built our staircase. Dakota and all the guys did a great job. Even Barak's caulking on the outside was great. Really too many things to list. Mike told us up front that he would not be the cheapest builder, however he was within a "fair" range of others we got prices from. BUT we do feel that we would NOT have gotten the "QUALITY" of service from any of the other builders. I requested ReBath upstairs and I am glad I did.. I really like the look and design even though this was a New Home. So if you need help promoting ReBath, let me know :)."

 

MWB:Was there anyone in particular that worked on your job that you liked and why?

 

Tony:"Where do I begin? Eric did a lot to show us the best layout and how the house would look, not to mention his part in building. Dakota, Wes, Barak, Micah, Willie, and I know I'm leaving out a few names did a GREAT job. Eric was very flexible on some changes we made and again tolerant on ME being the picky one. "

  

MWB: We always tell our clients and potential clients that we aren't perfect and we make mistakes. The important thing and a quality that we think separates us from most is our committment to fix our mistakes and make it right. Which is why we are happy to include Tony's last statement:

  

Tony: "If I had any negative comments it would be about the concrete work. I am , to this day very disappointed in the quality of workmanship in the concrete work. I know getting the right people can be tough but as they know, I'm very opinionated and did not like the fact that the foreman, boss, etc. of that company didn't even want to spend 4 minutes on my job because he had OTHER pressing matters to attend to. BUT Mike Wood Builders did stand by his work and replace a section , turn around pad that had cracked. Mike and Eric stand behind their work and word."
