Very patient and CREATIVE
The people at Taurus have the greatest patience and creativity! We visited with two other companies but chose Taurus because we felt like they cared more about helping us figure out what we wanted-getting exactly what WE wanted. They didn't mind us changing our minds, they just wanted us to get exactly what we wanted and we NEVER felt presured to hurry up and pick things out!! They were wonderful all the way through the project!
Pros:creative, patient, great customer service, great communication throughout the project, workers who care about the quality of their work

Quality Work at a Fair Price
We recently contracted with AAA Taurus for a small remodeling project (tear out and replace storage closets) in an area of our church. The Manager, Ordean Ibsen, was excellent to work with, and knowing that we had a limited budget, was able to make several suggestions to reduce our costs while still meeting our needs.
Pros:Willing to work on options depending on costs and needs. Willing to coordinate work with other contractors (such as changes in the heating system which affected the new cabinet install).
Cons:None.

Great contractor - i highly recommend them
Highly recommend Taurus construction and found Ordean, the owner, to have high integrity and great professionalism. My husband and I contracted Taurus construction to remodel an unusable garage and large back area (about 300 sqft) into a new familly room, 3/4 bath, laundry room and new bedroom in our Park Hill home in Spring of 2008. we solicited several bids, and Taurus construction was very competitive. we selected Taurus construction, because frankly, Ordean the owner showed up at the bid, was very professional, gave us a detailed quote, and was hands on during the bid process (even crawling under the house during the bid visit to see if what we had in mind would work!). He spent as much time as needed answer our 1000 questions and listened to our ideas during this bid. his team did an excellent job, staying on time and on budget. when they encountered unexpected things, they immediately called us, and were very fair and flexible in how we jointly addressed them. They worked very well with the Denver permit dept, making sure each stage was signed off before moving to the next stage. I gave them a 4 in quality because there were a few things that needed follow-up, but Ordean was very responsive and took corrective action promptly that was to our satisfaction. we would work with Ordean hands down for future work.
Pros:-- never felt he was trying to bid low, and then increase his price as the job progressed. he gave us a fixed price bid based on scope of work we asked him to do. he was upfront with his bid and was very fair when unexpected things came up. -- he is a very knowledgeable owner, and has a wide network as a general contractor, to get the right folks in the door at the right time as the job progressed -- was on time and on budget -- was very responsive to follow-up concerns, even when we called him 8 months after the work completion -- always one call away if we needed to talk to him directly. Having direct access to the owner is a plus!! -- worked well with the Denver permit dept and followed protocol, rules, regulations and standards
Cons:-- his assigned day to day project manager was a bit underqualified, but at the end of the day, i don't think it affected the outcome of the work. i felt very comfortable escalating anything directly to Ordean and he took corrective action promptly. he even solicited feedback after the job was done, which tells me his is continuously looking to improve his family-owned business. great guy, great general contractor.
