Priority One Construction

Joe Meehling and team came out to do a major renovation on the "bump out" of our house. We knew we needed new floors and insulation under the floors. Joe came out, gave us a great quote for the job and we scheduled the work. Along the way Joe and his crew were able to deal with numerous problems from the previous construction of the bump out, including floor joist work, and water damage that resulted in the rebuilding of a wall. Each time he identified a new problem he also identified a solution that was cost effective. He took pictures of each step of the project to keep us in the loop and made sure we understood where things stood. We love our new floors will definitely call on them again for any future updates to the house.

I hired Joe Meehling and Priority One Construction to remodel my master bathroom. This was a major remodel, they closed off one of the doors to the bathroom, expanded the shower, tiled the shower, the shower floor and the bathroom floor, installed a new vanity, replaced the toilet, installed a new storage cabinet, light fixtures, mirror and faucets. They did an amazing job and I ended up with a beautiful, high-class bathroom. Joe and his crew did a great job with the tile, he gave me suggestions to keep the job on budget and came up with a shower design that is just beautiful and even included a little shelf for my shampoo and other products. Even though the bathroom wasn’t enlarged, it looks bigger and I just love the large shower. Priority One was always on time, gave me a great price, dealt with the issues of an older home and kept me informed of any issues. He always asked me when something was in question and made sure I was satisfied with the project. He definitely went above and beyond what was required on our contract. I was very impressed with his professionalism and the high quality work. I would definitely recommend Priority One for any remodel job.

I recently discovered that my deck was pulling away from my townhouse and pulling my basement wall out with it. Joe Meehling, the owner of Priority One Construction, was able to come out and take a look. My deck and wall issue was more serious than I was able to describe to him over the phone. He made my project a priority, rearranged his schedule, pulled some of his workers off another job and started working the next day to stabilize my deck and wall in order to get me through the winter without some bigger disaster happening. After one week, my basement wall is back to vertical, and the deck is stable. Joe was very attentive to making that happen. He met with my insurance adjuster and has offered to come back out to help me meet with the structural engineer that the insurance company is sending out later this month. I am very happy with the customer service Joe provided and have told him that I will definitely use Priority One to build my new deck next Spring.

Joe Meehlng and Priority One Construction renovated my kitchen and I'm just amazed at the awesome job they did. Joe and his crew were very professional and did an amazing job building me a new kitchen. I had Priority One take out a wall to open up the kitchen to the dining room and they removed everything from the old kitchen and replaced it with a new expensive looking modern kitchen. They put up new cabinets, install granite counter tops, added new lighting, re-tiled the ceramic floor, added a tiled back splash, replaced the window, put in an under-mount sink, added a bar level counter top and installed new appliances. Everything turned out beautiful. Joe worked with me to pick out a kitchen layout that was much better than my previous one and met my needs and even allowed me to make a couple adjustments as needed. He worked with me to pick out a tile for the back splash to compliment my new counter tops and came up with a design that I just love. He was very mindful of my budget and gave me suggestions to help me to stay in budget and yet I still feel like I have a high quality kitchen. Joe Meehling and Priority One Construction were very professional and a company you can trust to do a great job at an honest price.

Stay away from this nightmare

Joe Meehling had his crew worked on adding a shower to our bathroom. After he took several thousand dollars from us, we noticed the discoloration of the grout in the entire shower floor, unevenness and stagnant water not draining properly sitting on the floor for hours. We have since also noticed a very expensive deeply scratched threshold on several places and several cracked tiles along the walls. We requested Priority One Joe Meehling to come out to take a look and fix it. We expressed our dissatisfaction of the careless worked done on the shower floor mosaic. He was very dismissive and audaciously insisted that he was doing us a favor by paying out of his pocket for a small tile insert which was done incorrectly to begin with. Joe Meehling doesn't care to repair the damage he has done. He failed to do the job well as he promised, while the lack of communication with his crew due to him not being on the job site and while rushing in and out from other jobs left consistent workarounds and his main tile installer confused on how to proceed several times. Once you step inside the shower the dips in the floor and sharp edges from the tile can be felt. Again, once we noticed the issues just a few days later, I clearly explained our dissatisfaction with the floor and insisted that he repair it. We have had professional contractors provide us quotes on the repairs and its not just a couple of hundred dollars but a couple of thousand which very clearly explains why Joe Meehling has been so dismissive to repair the shower floor. He still to has not made an attempt to remedy the situation. Please ensure you speak with reputable companies and speak with other customers prior to hiring a contractor. This has been a nightmare. Stay away from Priority One Construction and Joe Meehling.
