Wei Ming Construction

I belong to a small 8-​unit town home condo homeowners association. And am actively involved in finding the right contractor when problems arise requiring services for specific jobs. And before I was aware of Unilocal!,I relied on other means of research like Diamond Certified, Good Service Guide, Consumer Checkbook, Value Star, BBB, even E.C.H.O. list of recommended contractors. (Hint: A tip to all readers researching). And later on Angie’s List.
Anyway our HOA, being 16 years old at the time back in 2005, found out our cantilever balconies (2^nd story) support beams were getting dry rot. These beams went into the ceiling, but unexposed behind the drywall.
Our HOA did not know. We had leakage problems in those areas during heavy rains going into the living room below in the sliding glass door area. The ceilings showed drywall water damage. So I did as much research and came across Wei Ming Construction. Vinsen Wu, the owner and head contractor, assessed the damage. It was bad flashing by the original developer which led to the water trailing into the homes. And the 7-​year period of warranty with condo developer was well over and the developer retired and might have passed away.
The worked required replacement of all balconies. Our HOA is on a budget and this was an expensive project. Vinsen gave us all options and related costs. We ended up having to go with outside post-​supported new balconies. And he recommended an architect who came up with an aesthetically pleasing design. They worked well together and expediently pushed the required permits through the City’s red tape. As well as the balconies replacement, Vinsen also changed the damaged ceiling drywall of about half the condo units affected.
Vinsen’s crew did a quality job with the balconies and the ceilings. It took awhile, but worth the wait. He had to demolish the old, haul away, and build new balconies for all units. Everyone was pleased. And the ceilings looked like nothing ever happened. He used Trex decking for the floor boards which are made from recycled plastic bags. He helped us select a great color. I had my lower level deck platform done at the same time to match. Vinsen did that for me for really cheap at the same time. Vinsen did extras he didn’t charge like personal outlet problems I had. And he replaced everyone’s front screen doors and home entry door light fixtures.
Now fast forward to April 2011. We officially decided on Vinsen’s company to handle our general contractor needs. He’s come to assist with repairs and drywall on minor to moderate jobs. This time he had to replace the flashing of a lower window. And he also determined the damage was caused by an aging window unit just above. He even felt the damaged «now soft» wood panel exterior. He had to replace those boards, repair the damage behind, repaint the exterior boards. It wasn’t a quick small job. But he did it in one day. And for a very reasonable price.
Vinsen’s English is limited. But we live in such a diverse City and area, it just takes patience with communication. Which I had no problem.
All I can say is that our HOA is very pleased with the quality workmanship of Wei Ming Construction, Vinsen’s general knowledge and length of experience in his business, his competitive pricing, his reliability with our SOS calls, and his pleasantness to work with.
I highly recommend Wei Ming Construction to handle individual homeowner and small to moderate-​size condo association general contractor needs. Vinsen is our go-​to guy. He does not have a web site and, not having any prior Unilocal!reviews nor know about Unilocal!,even not yet understand why he’s getting referrals from my blog. But I can vouch for his company’s credibility.
