Topp Remodeling & Construction

As of writing this review I’ve been working with Topp Construction for just over 6 months now, planning, prepping, and building a detached garage with an apartment above it. Having renovated 3 houses and worked with many contractors I’d grown to be pretty distrustful of the whole building industry in general. Topp Construction has restored my trust in building contractors again with how well they handled the project I contracted them to complete. They’ve been a pleasure to work with, their workmanship is excellent, and I’ve never presented them a problem they haven’t immediately corrected without pushing back. I highly recommend Topp Construction, and I’ve sent their contact information to as many friends and colleagues as I could. My project has turned out better than I expected, and I’m more than happy I took this project on with Branden (CEO), John (VP), and the rest of the Topp crew. If you need a quality builder to help you remodel or build in the Salt Lake valley Topp is a great choice. Topp gets high marks on 5 key considerations that I’m going to break out in more detail below: Quality, Reliability, Communication, Flexibility, and Value. Every person I’ve had in the garage and the apt has been impressed with the quality and workmanship on display, and I’ve heard, more than a couple times, “whatever you’re paying these guys, it’s worth it.” I’ve also been pleasantly surprised by how little effort has been needed on my end to ensure commitments were kept. If Topp agreed to something it got done and didn’t really require any prodding on my end to ensure it happened.They said they’d do it and then they went and did it. For anyone with a normal adult life of work and family obligations that reliability and dependability is huge. Communication has been generally very good with Topp. I’ve never gone more than a couple days without hearing back from Topp when I have reached out to them about something or other, and their responses have been clear and provided timelines along with good expectation setting. I modeled my entire project out in CAD, rendered everything so I could see it ahead of time, and had a detailed financial plan covering how I wanted to proceed, and I still found things that I wanted changed and added during the project. Just the nature of large projects, and I put a lot of value on having a flexible partner who can help accomplish those changes. I did pay what I consider a lot of money for a total of about 1,300 sq. ft. half of which is finished garage space. However, I think that is more a function of the demand for builders in Utah than anything else, and given the smoothness of the project, and Topp’s ability to meet my change requests the money has been well spent and my vision has been realized. That’s worth a lot when you’re talking about your home and where you hope to spend the next several decades.
