Get matched with top remodel designers in Kimberly, AL

"House was completed when we found it. Yvette's eye for detail is unmatched. There's are so many little and big touches in our house that she genuinely put so much thought into. It was a highlight to me to walk with her through the house and hear where all these great ideas came from. Anything from the paint color to the fireplace. She's awesome and full of fantastic design ideas. She has stood behind everything she did and helped it's get one item fixed by the supplier. She takes great pride in her work and is genuinely personally invested in the outcome for the buyer."

"This is our second experience with Steve at Walden Home Remodeling. We could not be more pleased with the results. A total kitchen remodel and 3 bathrooms remodeled as well as all LVP flooring downstairs. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve Walden and his entire crew for any major remodeling project. Love it!!"

"My fence installation was completed on 5/9/2024, so this review is 4 months after install. BLUF: Excellent quality work and knowledge. Great communication about project while in-person. Poor communication about coming and going. Unclear communication about costs throughout. Poor customer support after final payment. Will not use again. *The company* below means *Pro Caliber Fence and Deck*. *The owner* below means *Jeremiah Strawderman*. *The crew* below means *employees or hired hands for Pro Caliber Fence and Deck*. Knowledge and Work: - Mostly outstanding! - No other fencing company walked me through what would be best for my situation. - Very pleased with the crew. - A gate was installed incorrectly and needed repairs after 4 months (used different company). Pricing and Costs: - Very pleased with the initial quote. - I believe the cost should have decreased at the end, but I did not argue it because things happened during this project where I know the company lost money (Ill explain below). - Your cost may go up if material cost increases, and your cost will not decrease if they use less materials than quoted. There is no written policy on this. - My initial invoice pricing never changed. The amount of material and labor required during the job turned out to be less than the original quote, and the owner said money would come off of the labor. The total remained unchanged even after reminding the owner. Im okay with it, but its not great practice. - The company bought the wrong fence posts initially. The owner told me this was *on them* as far as cost (plus the correct posts were in the original invoice), but toward the end of the project the owner used it as an excuse for why money did not come off the total. It was a crap excuse, but I took it as meaning he was not going to take any money off and the series of events made me okay with this. Timeliness / Logistics: - Multiple things affected the timeliness of this project that made the company seem like they didnt have their stuff together logistically. - Day 1 was supposed to be post install day. They bought the wrong style of fence posts. The correct style is in my original invoice, but there was an oversight. - The business they bought cedar stringers (two-by-fours) and pickets from had ruined their stringers (two-by-fours) when they arrived to pick up the materials, so they had to repurchase stringers (two-by-fours) from another business. - During install, the air compressor for the companys nail guns died, so they had to buy a new air compressor and new nail guns. - After returning with new nail guns and air compressor, the crew had realized they purchased longer nails than intended and had to leave to buy the correct size nails. - A couple times the crew would leave without a word and come back many hours later. Communication / Customer Support: - Communication was mostly great while on site. Very friendly and willing to explain things. It lacked when off site. - Times for showing up or returning to site were rarely communicated. - When it came to communication about costs, it came across as hand-wavy/unclear/misleading. - At fence completion, the owner said to me, *If you need anything at all, please contact us.* The owners interaction with me does not support this attitude.- We agreed on a metal gate latching system versus a pull-string on my single door which was not installed after my final payment. After 4 weeks of getting a different timeframe that they would be installing the new latch and then didnt show up, there were a couple of fence pickets that could use replacing so I asked the owner if they replaced that sort of thing. The owners response was, *Its wood. Thats not on me,* and lectured me on how I got a deal on pricing and repairs cost them money instead of simply saying *no*. I got another company to complete their job and repairs."

"We replaced the windows in our 1933 home through the services of MadCity Windows. From the initial contact with their sales representative to final installation, the company provided top notch professional work. With the draft from the old windows and the cold of the glass, we are already saving on our energy bills. Our house had old, large windows, so they had to be custom made. As an industrial designer and interior designer, we find our windows to be of excellent quality."

"We have just begun our experience with Big Block Design but we are already feeling confident about our project."

"Very professional and detail oriented. They took my vision and brought it to life. Outstanding communication from start to finish on the remodel. Will definitely be using in the future for any remodeling projects"

"James Smithey and Donavon Lomax did an excellent job would recommend them to everyone , they are very professional. And cleaned up very well afterwards. Looks great"

"While other companies overlooked my inquiry Big Block Designs responded promptly, had great communication and answered all of my questions."

"They did a great job on design layout. they were very professional and efficient."

"Simply drywall job: They worked expeditiously and had the job completed before the agreed upon time. Upon completion the work was inspected by the point of contact Steve, who was very helpful with ideas to complete the room. I would use their services again. I had 2 workers on drywall demo and cleanup, 1 guy on simple frame repair, inactive wasp nest removal. Wasn’t to happy with the bill but I will say with the unexpected item that came up and the time I needed project completed, I preferred to pay vs diy handyman special. If you don’t have time you have money and vice versa. I do believe the finished product will be pleasing once painted and finished completely. I am thankful for the experience and the help that we needed was received."
