"Out bid by local competitors"

"I CONTACTED FREDRICK KLEIN, THE OWNER OF KLEIN AND SONS CONSTRUCTION- THROUGH A REFERRAL.  A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY RECOMMENDED HIM.  I TOLD MR. KLEIN, THAT I HAD WANTED TO REPLACE WINDOWS IN MY 90+ YEAR OLD HOME- FOR MANY YEARS, AND HAD FINALLY DECIDED WHAT TYPE OF WINDOW I WANTED.  I ASKED HIM TO COME OUT, AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IT WOULD ENTAIL.
THE HOME HAD HAD PREVIOUS WATER DAMAGE ISSUES, AND I THOUGHT THAT SOME OF THE REASON FOR THAT- WAS THE BADLY DETERIORATED CONDITION OF THE EXISTING WOODEN WINDOWS.   MR. KLEIN CAME OUT, INSPECTED EACH ROOM, AND AGREED.  HE WAS EASY GOING.  WHEN ASKED QUESTIONS (AND I ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS), HE WAS TO THE POINT WITH EVERY ANSWER.  HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND RESPECTFUL.
I HAD TALKED TO SEVERAL COMPANIES, PRIOR TO SPEAKING WITH MR. KLEIN- AND HAD GOTTEN ROUGH ESTIMATES FOR THIS WINDOW REPLACEMENT JOB.  I WAS REPLACING 20+ WINDOWS- AND EACH COMPANY THAT I SPOKE WITH- GAVE VERY HIGH ESTIMATES FOR BOTH THE WINDOWS AND THE LABOR COSTS.  KLEIN AND SONS CONSTRUCTION DID NOT. 
MR. KLEIN BROKE DOWN THE COST OF MATERIALS, LABOR AND NOTED OTHER ISSUES THAT WE MAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH, IN HIS BID FOR SERVICE.  THE AMOUNT HE LISTED, FOR THE COST OF THE WINDOWS (LOW E- ARGON GAS FILLED) WAS VERY COMPETITIVE.  HIS LABOR COSTS WERE MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE THAN HIS COMPETITION.  BECAUSE OF HIS 'NO NONSENSE' DEMEANOR- AND HIS MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, I IMMEDIATELY HIRED HIM!
I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.  HIS CREW WAS DILIGENT IN GETTING THE JOB DONE.  THEY KNEW WHAT TO DO- AND DID THEIR JOB WELL.  EVERYONE THAT I CAME INTO CONTACT WITH- WAS RESPECTFUL AND HARD WORKING. 
THE ONLY ISSUES THAT IMPACTED THIS JOB NEGATIVELY- WERE NOT THE FAULT OF KLEIN AND SONS CONSTRUCTION.
 THERE WAS SPORATIC  RAIN, THROUGHOUT THE JOB- THAT DELAYED THE INSTALLATION OF A FEW WINDOWS.  THAT WAS TO BE EXPECTED, BECAUSE WE ARE IN AN AREA THAT REGULARLY DEALS WITH THAT ISSUE. 
THE OTHER ISSUE, INVOLVED THE WINDOW DISTRIBUTOR, THAT THIS COMPANY WAS USING.  THE WINDOW COMPANY, TWICE, SHIPPED THE WRONG SIZED WINDOWS.  MR. KLEIN DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM PROFESSIONALLY- AND SWIFTLY.  HE APOLOGIZED MANY TIMES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND DELAY THAT THIS CAUSED.  THE JOB ACTUALLY TOOK VERY LITTLE TIME, I FELT- SO THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE FOR ME. 
I RESPECTED THE FACT THAT HE TOOK FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE- EVEN THOUGH WE BOTH KNEW IT WAS NOT HIS FAULT.  (NOTE:  HE NOW USES A DIFFERENT WINDOW DISTRIBUTOR).
ON A SPECIAL NOTE-  ONE OF THE WINDOWS THAT I HAD REPLACED, NEEDED SPECIAL FRAMING DONE, ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOME.  HIS SON DID THE HANDY WORK- AND IT LOOKED INCREDIBLE.  I WAS VERY PLEASED!
I EXPECT, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I WILL BE HIRING KLEIN AND SONS CONSTRUCTION, TO DO OTHER WORK WITHIN MY HOME.  BECAUSE- WHEN YOU FIND A CONTRACTOR THAT DOES WHAT IT SAYS-  HAS THIS DEGREE OF PROFESSIONALISM- AND GIVE AN HONEST PRICE....YOU STICK WITH THEM!!"

"Very good job, easy to deal with. No pressure for adding unnecessary work, cheaper than other estimates"

"Great.  I had this work done just over a year ago (should have submitted review sooner).
Estimate.  Charlie examined bathroom, had plenty of samples of options to review, and provided firm fixed quote.  There were some material issues that I'll note below.  At no time did the final cost change.
Timeline.  Installation began about a month or so after I accepted the quote and paid half down for material.  I think Charile was ready in about 2 weeks, but I had business travel.  Working together to find a common acceptable period for installation was easy.
Installation.  The first day Charlie showed up with a crew of 4 to take care of the electrical work (did have another ceiling fan installed) and demolition.  Following that, there were 2 full time workers on site.  They worked long hours, well over 8 hour days.  Normall, the job would have taken about a week.  I'll give more detail on the one issue below that drew the task out longer.  The guys were good about taking care not to impact the rest of the house (carpet, etc.).  After install, they did a good job cleaning up.
During the install, there were a few minor options ... how to frame the door, orientation of tile, the color of the tile, etc.  The crew provided options and good advice (I'm no kind of interior decorator).  The part of the service was excellent.
Quality.  I have done basic carpentry and electrical work.  I believe the quality of the work to be good to excellent, both what you see and what was done "behind the dry wall."  The work that you can see is excellent.
Material.  I was a little worried about the material used for the walls as opposed to tile.  I'm pleased to say I'm more than happy with the "acrylic" (I think that's correct) walls as well as base and door.
Only issue.  The base received was not the correct one.  The second base received had a quality issue.  They guys pointed this out to me.  I'm sure it cost them money out of their pocket / profit to spend the extra time on site.  My take away from this was the guys were MY quality advocates and did what was necessary to ensure the highest quality product was used and the job was done right the first time!  Things happen.  The question is how well does your contractor support you.  While I wasn't crazy about the delay (about 3 days, not major for me).  I was thrilled the issue was immediately brought to my attention and resolved even though it took extra effort on their part.
Overall job outcome.  I feel what was quoted was provided.  Very satisfied.
1 year review ... I remain satisfied.  I have had zero issues.  Other than the glass doors (which are famous for requiring cleaning when used for bath doors - this was noted before installation).  Is the biggest maintenance job.  Caring for the bath itself has required average to minimal effort.
Give Dream Bath / Charlie a call before you have your bathroom remodeled!

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design!

"Purchased coupon on August 11, 2011.  Because I was remodeling my kitchen myself after work and weekends, I didn't have time to deal with the creating the room drafts, plans, layouts or measurements she required.  I did contact Jill and explain the situation and she was very understanding.  She said because I contacted her, not to worry about the deadline.  I remained in contact with her over the next few years (that's how long it took me) and when I was ready around the start of 2014, she worked hard to provide her new design.
A true professional and great person to work with.  The design was spot on and my wife and i were very impressed.  Thank you Jill.
