ISW Custom Builders & the owner Brian Podwinski were massive disappointments to work with. We hired ISW to complete a home addition to add a "sport court" / home gym, and they consistently let us down.
I'm a SBO and have worked with hundreds of contractors nationwide for the past 3 decades. I've seen the worst of the worst, and also know how to ID a quality contractor. I don't expect perfection, there will always be hiccups, but it's about how you respond to issues - and Brian is the worst I've ever worked with in terms of overpromising, not following through, hiring bad subs, negligence on critical areas, and being a pathological liar. We wanted our project to work very badly to establish a long term relationship as our regular builders - my company designs home & commercial gyms. Because of that, I gave Brian many chances to make things right, and had constant patience for their issues along the way. There was huge potential for them to build all of our future projects and they lost that chance.
Negligence on the roofwork caused major flooding on all 3 levels, the final grading channeled water towards the addition leading to more flooding in the gym & basement. Plus the dozens of corners they cut to save a few bucks, such as using short pieces of siding instead of consistent lengths and a splicer in the middle - we now have head seams in about 15 spots on a major exterior wall. We're still missing vent covers. Using contractors who had never painted to attempt a 2,000 sq ft project with 20 ft ceilings. Botching our flooring install - b/c they had no experience with carpet. Failing at a poured countertop 3 times. Promising they could build custom cabinets, charging a premium, then producing an amateur result that wouldn't earn a boyscout badge, and now we're stuck with drawers that don't close.
The addition failed inspection 3 times, which forced me to meet with the inspector numerous times and haggle Brian to continue patching holes in the mechanical room etc. to ensure we could finally get our CO. Every single ISW staff member (other than Brian), has quit the company since our project in 2023-24. 7 different people. Find the term "s*** show" in the dictionary and ISW is the definition.
