We hired Joe because of the multiple contractors we talked with, Joe Mikhaylov was the first person who explained that we could save thousands of dollars if we adjusted our plans to something a little different. That’s when we realized that his goal was to help us get the workshop we were dreaming of. From day one, Joe explained each step of the process, including how billing would work, and then we got exactly what he said to expect. He was flexible and patient when we asked for things. Joe was more communicative than any contractor I have worked with, updating us daily when necessary, so that we were never surprised when something did or did not happen at the site. Joe always assumed that I was intelligent enough and had researched enough to know what I was talking about, and he was very respectful when answering the many questions I had. As a woman, that is important to me. Joe’s coordination with the other crews - to pour concrete, to drill and place conduit, to install electricity - was nearly seamless, and when there was a hiccup with scheduling (as often happens), he told us immediately and asked what solution worked best for us. In the beginning, many wheelbarrow loads of river rock were in the way, so they kindly hauled all of it, load by load, across the yard to the RV parking area so it was not wasted. Most of all we appreciated his laser focus on quality and details, again - like no contractor I have worked with. Joe and his crew addressed each item with care, small or large, like they were working on their own property. Joe went out of his way to build the most solid, moisture-proof shop he could imagine, and then joked that the trees in the area would grow old and die before this shop ever comes down! His crew cleaned up every single day. They put all the dirt and gravel back where they could, repaired some irrigation line accidentally cut, hauled off the bushes they had to trim, and left the site spotless. The total charge would have been exactly what he quoted to begin with, but we asked for multiple upgrades, which he graciously accommodated. For the fair price, the excellent communication, the high quality work, I will recommend that you try to hire Development Contracting if you can. I’m reluctant to work with any other contractor, now that I know what I’ll get when I work with Joe.
