Larsen Company

Phil was hired in Aug. 2010 to tear out and re-do an ugly red brick fireplace.  We had no idea what design we wanted - only that we wanted the red brick and oddly shaped fireplace gone.  He came to our house and helped draw up a design.  We discussed a window seat and curio cabinet and he suggested ideas.  We came up with an idea and he came back (promptly) with a quote.  He came in and completely rebuilt the fireplace in two days.  We had custom built cabinets installed (window seat, bookcase, and curio cabinet) - custom finished with a distressed finish.  Entire living room was painted and ceiling refinished and painted. A back bedroom was turned into my sewing room.  A closet was removed and cabinets were installed around the perimeter of the room for quilting supplies.  I discussed my idea with him for a "design wall" for quilting.  He quickly came up with a fantastic plan and custom built the design wall in the room. Both above jobs were completed in two weeks.  We were so happy with his work that we contracted him to complete our "dream" kitchen.  We discussed plans from mid Aug. to October 1st.  This was the hardest part of the job for us.  We researched what we wanted and what we didn't want and Phil listened carefully and came up with the plans.  He submitted them to an architect and pulled permits and work began on October 5th, 2010.  Six weeks later we have a beautiful kitchen that far surpassed our expectations.  Phil gave us time and attention.  We felt that he truly loves his work and takes pride in what he builds.  We felt important to him.  He cared so much about this job that he even made us a video tape of the experience.  He knew how important this was to us.    One thing we have learned from the jobs we had done here is to:  Definitely hire a General Contractor!  Once our decisions were made, we did not need to do anything.  Phil was like a symphony orchestra conductor - all the subs performed according to his direction and no one left here without completing a quality job.    We can whole-heartedly recommend Larsen Co.

EVERY SINGLE JOB HAS BEEN PERFECT. They are very prompt, very reasonable in their pricing, and do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it. Every experience has been the same. Phil is a very " hands on" owner and he is personally there from start to finish. His sub-contractors have always been professional, timely, and clean up after themselves. I have had a few bad experiences in the past with other remodelers and its nice to know that I now have someone I can count on to perform the task at hand. The Larsen Company has been an excellent experience each and every time I have used them.
