Mantis Construction Dba Finishing Touches Remodeling

Mantis Construction Dba Finishing Touches Remodeling operates as a plumber in Weatherford, TX. B.J. Hayley leads the crew as a female contractor and takes on plumbing tied to kitchen and bath work plus room additions across Parker County. Local homes from the 1970s often need pipe updates and fixture swaps to handle Texas heat and hard water, and the company steps in to keep systems running during bigger changes like enclosing garages or adding windows. They focus on getting water lines and drains right the first time so additions stay dry and functional without forcing families to move out.

BJ built a new shower for one remodel that turned a dated 1970s layout into something modern, while other jobs included running lines for custom wainscoting ceilings and removing popcorn textures that hid old plumbing access points. Crews also handled tile work around showers and painted after the rough-ins, but some projects showed shortcuts like skipping concrete board under bathroom tile and putting it straight on Sheetrock. That led to tiles dropping off walls within months and mold forming, forcing full tear-outs back to the studs. Painters rushed finishes on tight schedules and left jobs half done, requiring extra trips that stretched simple one-day tasks into weeks.

Homeowners split on results, with some noting BJ listens closely and answers questions without pushback while her painters watch details during paint and trim stages. Others flagged repeated quality shortfalls on waterproofing and scheduling that drove up repair costs later. Speed and price drew mixed notes too, since incomplete work meant repeat visits. These patterns across the feedback explain the overall rating. DIRT Score 2.55 from 12 reviews on Finds.

“Very unpleasant experience all around. The first painter did a very poor job even BJ concurred “it’s not a great paint job”. He wasn't able to finish the job as he was rushing to another job that day nor could he come back for another week to finish the job that was supposed to be done in a day. When I told BJ I wasn’t happy with the first job nor the job not being completed when it should have been she flew off the handle and said she would put a lien on our house. She ended up having to outsource the job a couple days later to a different painter who did a much better job and fixed what the first painter had done but still charged the full amount. We payed with no issue to get her on her way. I went with BJ as she is a woman owned business which I love supporting but she is truly a very unstable individual who I would never do business with again.”

“We used Finishing Touches to remodel our 1970s home and were thrilled with the work they did. BJ built us a new shower, enclosed our garage and added windows, built us custom wainscoting ceilings, and painted our home (and removed popcorn ceilings). It looks like a completely different home! The price was very affordable, the quality exceptional, and the level of communication was the best I've ever received from a contractor. We highly recommend Finishing Touches (and will be calling them back again in the future).”

“Edit - two months ago tile started falling off the bathroom walls. Turns out her crew failed to put concrete board on top of the Sheetrock and instead simply applied the shower tiles straight to the Sheetrock. So, now we’ve got to rip all the tile out and start over from the studs up due to mold and water damage. I’m sorry I recommended her. BJ was wonderful! Her guys worked fast and cleanly. Her crew did excellent work and I am in love with our new shower! She had great ideas and was super helpful.”

“BJ Hayley is a dream to work with. She listened to all of my thoughts and answered every single question with the upmost professionalism and kindness. Her painters are amazing and keep an extremely close eye on every detail. We will sing their praises to everyone we know! Can not wait to use them for the interior painting and anything else I can think up for my next home project! Extremely impressed and satisfied!”

“Finishing Touches did a minor remodel that included hvac replacement; kitchen appliances and counter replacement; and repainting nearly the entire interior with repairs to all walls. The work was done in a timely manner and to my satisfaction. Ms. Patton, the owner and contractor was great to work with.”
