"Pros: Very prompt. Took care to protect carpet and furniture. Thorough and friendly. Made recommendations for approximately $800 of repair work. Cons: Service person took pieces of concrete off the chimney cap to show me the cap was crumbling (I would have preferred he just tell me). Decided not to reuse service only because of my feelings about the chimney cap. He did a great job cleaning the chimney.

Our custom fireplace door is now the centerpiece of our main living room. We were so pleased with the door, within a month we ordered a 2nd door for our bedroom fireplace. Thank you Danny"

"With their help and suggestions, I managed to maximize the space in my kitchen so that I have more counter and cabinet space, without moving any walls. They said they would finish in 4 weeks and they did! I got many helpful suggestions from the designer who knew better what I needed than I did. I love the "Strawberry blond" cabinets and matching granite, and I love my extra deep stainless steel sink. All the cabinetry works perfectly and looks looks perfect as well. I got lazy Susan cabinets to utilize my corner space. All my drawers slide out smoothly. The men who came to my house were professional and pleasant.They arrived on time and were willing to work with my schedule. I would highly recommend their service, and if you saw my kitchen, you would too! "
