We were grossly disappointed at how our home renovation worked out. We hired John Mistler to act as general contractor of our total renovation. I would be hard pressed to name something that actually went well in working with this man. John Mistler proved to be incredibly disorganized. He scheduled the cabinets to be installed before the flooring was put in despite the fact that we paid extra to have the cabinets upgraded to a taller height. He had sheet rock put up before mechanical inspection was done so it had to be removed. John Mistler showed a total disregard for our budget. He was continually pointing us to highest priced ineffective solution. He made decisions independent of us. Though not discussed or in the contract, it appeared in our bills that he was charging us for his own time to oversee the project in addition to the 20% he was getting on all workers. We measured and ordered a bathtub only to find that he had billed us for 2 hours of his own time to measure for the bath tub. John Mistler appeared to be unaware of the building codes. He said switching toilets from next to the wall to next to the bath tubs would not be an issue; cabinet man said otherwise; He said putting plumbing on exterior walls in shower was fine; plumbing codes said otherwise and we had to build an additional wall and redesign shower after the fact. He told us we could have a marble shower bench; marble fabricator said absolutely not. To each of these he just acted surprised while we were left to pay more. John Mistler's website says he is a TN licensed HVAC contractor. After we failed code for HVAC, the code profession had to educate this contractor on the proper way to do things. John Mister paid no attention to detail. He had his buddy painting our house for 5 straight months for 6-7 days a week, painting with a brush. Despite my husband begging to have the house sprayed. The painting went on while trim was being cut in adjoining rooms. Our walls are littered with saw dust debris and brush bristles. There are several areas where one coat was painted and others where six coats were painted due to lack of organization. Paint trays were left out around the house. To these questions and complaints, we were told we were too critical. It's a million dollar home. Too critical?? John Mistler's gross lack of professionalism was disappointing at best. Near the end of the project, his wife who has absolutely nothing to do with this project and does not work with his business called to demand that we be kinder to her husband. After laying into us, she begged us to keep secret that she had called. John Mistler made several sexual innuendoes as if we were his beer buddies. I was pregnant. It was disgusting. We cannot recommend this man for anything. ...read more

I hired Aperture Construction for my tenant build out. It was the worst decision I have ever made and nearly cost me my business. The 30 day project ended up taking six months. The work was very sloppy. When I expressed concerns about the unprofessional workmanship, they told me I was being picky and that my pickiness was the reason for the delays, which was so far from the truth. After the project was finally finished and paid for, I started getting phone calls from multiple subcontractors who wanted to know where their money was. One of them filed a lien against the property. I was almost evicted because of the lien and had to hire an expensive lawyer to deal with the situation. I am still cleaning up messy work and paying legal fees today. ...read more
