    when my wife left a review. "They contacted my husband after writing a review YESTERDAY. The owner contacted him stating basically he was stealing scrap wood that the other owner (Tom) said he could take home. When it was an issue with the owner Derek brought it back to the job site. Saying on the phone to him how he can't even get to work but our roommate at the time was his transportation. He only missed one day of work and then TODAY gets threatened by saying he has lawyers to handle his reviews. What does that mean?. Not sounding very professional but if anything like a bully. What happened to freedom of speech? heard the owner on the phone trying to blame anyone and everyone including our own hardships were going through. By saying things "I guess that's my fault too huh." I told him none of my hardships were his problem. But obviously my husband was discriminated against and overall the owner just wanted to belittle him instead of trying to figure out where the miscommunication was, he lost a hard working valuable employee and made him to be like he was nothing. Wouldn't recommend."

    I had Barefoot Marine build my first dock in 2014 and had them extend my dock in Feb. 2020 . They did an excellent job both times. Very professional and respectful and knowledge of the dock building process far exceeds others. Very competitive pricing and yes i would recommend them.

    Barefoot Marine saved my backyard, literally. My husband and I had never lived on the water before. We had no experience with marine construction. We wanted to replace our bulkhead and build a large covered dock for entertaining with a boatlift. We hired another company to complete this job. Big mistake! At first, we were pleased with the construction. A couple of months later, our bulkhead buckled. The pavers came crashing down and we had an extremely large hole in our backyard between the lot and the dock. The pressure from the bulkhead also caused our brand new dock to curve upward. Our contractor would not fix the problem. You can say, “I would sue him,” but good luck suing someone with no assets that is in prison. The worse part is that the contractor attached the new bulkhead to the old one, so it was compromising the foundation of our property. Where do we go from here? Barefoot Marine to the rescue! Rick Powell understood the duress we were under and was very sympathetic. He saw the gravity of our situation and made it a high priority. He gave us a very competitive price and began repairs immediately. Not only was he able to secure the bulkhead with anchors, but he was also able to remove the curve from the dock. He communicated with us throughout the construction, and his workers moved efficiently and were very professional. Would it have cost more to hire Barefoot for the initial project? Yes. Did not hiring Barefoot end up costing more in the end? Absolutely. Thanks to Barefoot, my family and I feel safe on the dock again. Rick Powell is always available to answer my questions and help me, although he finished the project 2 ½ years ago. To say that I am impressed would be an understatement. Moral of the story: 1. Investigate. Pull the contractor’s license number. If he is working under another contractor’s license, do not hire him. Even if it appears that he is legitimately working for another agency as a subdivision of the company. If you have any questions, contact the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Run the contractor’s name in local county clerk systems. He may have pending criminal charges or a history of scamming. 2. Choose a company with a stellar reputation. “No news is good news” is not true when it comes to hiring a contractor. Look for someone that has great reviews from unbiased sources. An in-depth review with specific details is more likely to come from and actual customer than the contractor’s cousin. 3. Hire Barefoot Marine. If you do not hire Barefoot, hire a company like Barefoot, one that you know is knowledgeable, reliable, and established. There are so many companies that are here today and gone tomorrow. Prior to hiring Barefoot, I knew of Barefoot, but another contractor convinced me that his company was just as good, if not better, and they could complete the job at a low cost. Do not fall for this. The repairs will cost you more in the end.
