Horrible. Quoted a timeline and as of today is 2 months behind. If you, the paying customer, dare ask a question, he either tries to bully you into shutting up or stops working for the day. Clearly took on a project that he can’t manage, and doesn't appear to know how to fix. Rude, and acts like he was never taught to interact with people. Avoid at all costs.

The subs that Steve Carlson hired did an amazing job. The work is beautiful. Working with Steve Carlson, the GC, was a nightmare. From exceeding the statement of work by demolishing my living room and dining room walls and ceilings to the studs without authorizing to bullying us into postdating a change order to cover his actions it's been a terrible roller coaster. This project has been a nightmare. When Mr Carlson does not get the answers he demands he holds the project hostage by walking off the job. He did this twice delaying our project 3 weeks. During the final tantrum, he cancelled final electrical inspection by the city but fully expected to get paid the final amount due. His bullying behavior amplified to the point where I had to call the police to get him to leave the property after 3 vehement requests. I was along in Biloxi at the time. He also failed to tell us that the property was not inhabitable when we were 1 hour from the house after 23 hours of driving from Denver with children. He was well aware we had planned the trip and when we were to arrive. He refused to work with me and consistently went to my husband or the bank to override my decisions. In the end, we were forced to fire him as he refused to schedule the final inspection and get a certificate of occupancy. We are now seeking a new GC to get final inspections and punch list completed. This has been one of the most shockingly unprofessional individuals I've ever worked with. When he says, he takes care of your house like it's his own.... he's not kidding. He really thinks his decisions override the owners....
