Covenant Creations

I was referred to Andrew through a friend who used him for his kitchen.  He just completed a bathroom/laundry room remodel for us and he was great!  He's one of those guys that knows how to do everything.  He was honest and friendly and respectful.  He showed up every day and worked hard.  He had a partner helping who was just as professional as he was.  I will be recommending them to friends.  Best part was that they completed the job in 2 1/2 weeks!  (His price was probably lower for us than usual, due to special circumstances which I won't go into as they don't apply).

We've used them for a fireplace remodel in the past, and we're very happy with the work they've done.  I would use them again in the future as well as recommend them to others.  I would say the quality of their work is exceptional compared to their competition!

We have had a lot of scheduling issues getting everything taken care of for this job. I have wanted to get everything done and have tried emailing and calling the company multiple times with no response. My last email that explained that my husband and I were going to come out to their office to get everything taken care of. In response to this email they finally called us. They explained they had responded to all of our emails, but I have never received any of them. Even if I did, I asked the company to call me and not respond via email. It has been a nightmare to try and get this service completed.

It was awesome. Andrew, who was the head contractor or project lead manager, was really good. He pretty much explained everything, kept me posted on when individuals would be arriving. His subcontractors were unbelievable, they were just amazing. Overall, it was just a really good experience.

Andy is great to work with and had great ideas. He took our rough ideas and helped us maximize space and create a striking bathroom. We look forward to working with him again on future projects.

I had he original shower/tub combination that came with the house built in 1985.  Water had gotten behind the tiles and the bench seat on the side of the garden tub had caved in when stepped on while hanging blinds on the windows due to rotted wood.  It was discovered there was a much larger area where water had seaped behind the wall tiles also.  I had wanted to take the tub out and replace it with a walk in shower for quite some time so when the special came up on Angie's List I took advantage of it and made the switch out.  Andrew has a nice crew a men who do the work and I had no problem having them in my house while I was at work during the day.  I love my new shower and would definitely recommend Covenant Creations.

Covenent Creations was great to work with. Andrew came and discussed the plan/options and was very helpful with great opinions. We really enjoyed working with him and all his subs were great - pleasant and professional. I was a bit disappointed the cost wasn't closer to the $4999 deal, but he was upfront with me about that during the consultation when I described what I was looking to do, and I felt it was a fair price for Covenent's work. I spent $7800 with Covenent and $8000-9000 on the tile, vanity, toilet, tub and fixtures. 
We encountered alot of issues with timing of materials, so my advice is to (1) have everything ordered before you start and (2) order extra tile! The tile delay was not Covenent's fault as I ordered the tile on my own and not from their recommended vendors, and we ran out - twice, and then the shower door was a disaster - again, also beyond their control. So the project took 3 months which was very long - but Covenent finished everything but the glass enclosure which had to be ordered when everything else was complete. We had to wait a month and a 1/2 just dealing with the glass enclosure being late, wrong or things needing to be fixed, but Covenent was as helpful as they could be and got a discount due to all the delays, which was great. 
Overall I love the finished project and we 're very happy that its done! We would definitely use Covent Creations again for other projects. 

We purchased Angie's List Big Deal for a $4,999 Complete Bathroom Remodel Including Labor & Material July15, 2012 and consulted with Andrew McLain of Covenant Creations early August.  He explained that there would be more cost than Angie?s List Big Deal, due to what we wanted for the bathroom, and later sent us an email of the added costs.  I asked him if I needed to go shop for any materials, and he assured us he would provide whatever is needed and show us samples, to which we agreed.  We agreed to start the job in September, and explained to Andrew that we would need to give our employers at least several weeks? notice before we could schedule our time off to be home for the remodel.  We also informed Andrew at that time that our home is block construction, and showed him a printout of our requests for the bathroom that included the information of the block construction.  He preferred to keep notes on his cell phone and declined the printout, explaining that he would communicate any needed info by email.
Andrew estimated the job to take 50 hours, no more than 2 work weeks, so my husband & I could each take off 1 week from our work to be home for the remodel.  We tried to get a start date for September, but Andrew was unable to let us know in time for us to take the time off of our jobs, so we agreed to start October 22.
There were some unexpected problems that came up during the demo, so that Andrew at that time predicted to us that the project would be finished by the end of the 2nd week.  Several more unexpected issues came up, including due to the block construction, so that the bath/shower combo plans had to change, and that extended the project time to beyond the 2 weeks and into the following month of November.
We appreciate that Andrew was flexible in coming in several Saturdays after the 2 weeks that we were able to take off from our work to complete the project, because the project took longer than expected.  Andrew had very helpful, creative suggestions that I liked as the project progressed.  A couple of our meetings he forgot to bring all the samples of the flooring, cabinet, counter top, and tile, so I wasn?t able to see how all would look together until it was actually installed.  It still all looked great, and was successfully ?guest & grandchild tested" a week after the project finished.
We would use Covenant Creations again. The workmanship was great and Andrew was very accommodating to make things work.  However with some of the problems and delays, we have to give him a temporary ?B?, that we?re sure could be improved to an ?A?. A few of the days during the 2 weeks, we were told that the crew or Andrew would be here 8:00am or 8:30am, and they didn?t come until around noon.  We could have been at our jobs at that time instead of waiting.
The only remaining issues we have at this time, December 2012, is that the cabinets need handles to open them and something gritty was placed in the toilet during the project that damaged the finish.  Andrew has agreed to come in to install handles on the cabinets.

Andrew McLain offered very helpful advice in both the planning and construction stages.  I was pleased with the choices he made in the materials supplied.    He was very diligent in spotting and repairing some of the poor workmanship that had been done before.  He was helpful and accommodating - for example,  after the project was underway I realized that installing the heated towel rail would not be possible for lack of space.  Andrew agreed to install it in an alternate bathroom.  He also undertook several small jobs outside the original bathroom remodel contract  - working them into the original contract cost.
I had a strict time frame for the job, and Andrew  completed everything on time, despite some unexpected problems which occurred.  He was willing to work late hours to meet my schedule.  He was courteous, accommodating and professional, as were the other trades he brought in.
My bathroom looks wonderful.  I am delighted with the work done by Covenant Creations.

Andrew came out ahead of time to assess what was needed. He installed the hardware, the shower pan and supervised the work.
His assistants installed the tile.   The installation was at my convenience.  I love the work they have done and have scheduled them to do a 2nd bathroom.   About two weeks after finishing, I was concerned that some of the caulking had cracked.  They came out and repaired it the same day that I called.  Andrew has been in the bathroom remodeling business for  many years and clearly knows what he is doing.  He has the ability to change an electrical/lighting system and he will do this in my 2nd bathroom as well as installing a bathtub and tile.

We had a tremendous experience working with Andrew for our bathroom remodel. We would highly recommend his services and would not hesitate to contract with him again. His work was of a very high quality. His work site was always left very clean and tidy. He always returned calls promptly. If a minor issues arose (inevitable on a remodel) he made certain things were taken care of to our satisfaction. He offered suggestions to help guide us toward a better final product and even addressed other issues in our house unrelated to the bathroom. Most impressive was his willingness to work to our tight schedule, Andrew went above and beyond to make sure our project was completed in our time frame. Just can't say enough great things about our experience.
Thanks again Andrew !

Estimate went well. I decided I wanted more completed. So instead of just having the shower retiled I had the entire bathroom gutted. The property is old and there had been many previous repairs completed on the bathroom. Multiple layers of flooring and some rotted and missing subflooring that needed to be replaced. During demolition the team was clean and respectful of my home. All demoed materials were removed from the property appropriately. Any potential problems or fixes needed were explained completely to me before the work was continued and completed. Tile was contracted out and the installation took about three days for the shower. Floor tile and wall tile as well as bathroom walls and ceiling paint were completed by Andrew himself. He was always professional and courteous. Andrew is a perfectionist and had many suggestions on color and types of tile to use in my bathroom. When all tile was laid clean up was complete and instructions on when the bathroom could be used were given. All of my questions were answered and I am 100% satisfied with the job!

A very professional job.  From always showing up when expected to finishing on time with very good results. I would highly recommend this company.

Andrew was responsive and fair from the very first meeting. He took time to work with us to plan our remodel and we felt he took as much care of our remodel as he would his own. He and his crew were polite and hard working, and took pains to clean up each evening before they left. It really didn't create a lot of mess or stress to have them in the house. The tiling guys were amazing. The care that they took and the precision with which they tiled our shower was incredible. They always consulted us when problems came up or design issues needed to be addressed.
All in all, we would absolutely use Covenant Creations for any remodel job we have.

Andrew was very prompt with his bid and, once the bid was accepted he started the very next day.  Andrew really listened to what was important to me.  The job he did was very good.  He is very nice and professional, as were his workers.  I really love my new pink bathroom!

it went fine, went just as he said and estimated, and he showed up on time each day. Great job!!!

Fantastic is our final report.  Andrew is a perfectionist when it comes to his work.   We found his company, Covenant Creations,, when we decided to buy a 36 inch Viking gas oven, to replace our 30 inch old oven.  We were not planning to remodel our kitchen, but needed to make more space for the new oven.   I called two other people from Angies list, The first never returned my call.  The 2nd said this project was impossible and claimed I would need all new cabinets and counters. Not sure if I can drop names??
 I then called Covenant Creations from the list.  He came out that afternoon to view the kitchen and said "absolutely, this project could be done and done well".  He gave us such confidence, we hired him right away.  His plan was to rescue all materials to match what we currently had.   He cut the counters, and cupboards and pieced it all together.  Within a couple days the project was done.  This also included an unexpected discovery that our old hood venting system was not correctly installed by the previous owners.  He redid the whole venting system for the oven hood.... correctly.  The cupboards look amazing.  The tile work is flawless.  It is impossible to tell any work had been done.  It all matches perfectly.  He is an absolute perfectionist.  He also redesigned and rebuilt a cabinet that had a broken Lazy Susan.   In the short time we have known him, we have also  hired him for some patio work.  I highly recommend Andrew.  He is prompt, considerate, and full of helpful ideas to make your project work, whatever it might be.  If we ever consider a full kitchen remodel, we will definitely be calling Covenant Creations.

He helped us professionally on not only construction aspects but also design; very detail oriented. He was very easy to work with and very patient (He put a medicine cabinet which we originally didn't plan after he made a dry wall) and understanding with our requests. He even went out of his way to make our requests realized.( He created a small magnetic beautiful tile door on the front of bathtub in order to access the whirlpool motor. He even fixed our storm door for free) We are very happy with our new bathrooms!

I never would have approached a project of this magnitude without the encouragement,excellent prices, and confidence that Andrew gave me. As long as he did the work himself, it was impeccable. He definitely gave me more than I paid for. Be specific and know what you want. As is true with all contractors, get everything in writing. He is the guy you've been looking for.

We liked him a lot. We did not use him because he was not available when we needed him. We will consider using him in the future.

Our experience with Covenant Creations was positive from start to finish. We had shopped around at a few showroom-type businesses before calling Andrew. We were impressed with the detail/thoroughness of his estimate for the work we wanted done and found his pricing to be very competitive. He provided recommendations on where to go for tile and other materials required for the renovation; we went and picked stuff out and then he purchased everything that was needed, so it was easy. All the work was completed on time and on budget. Andrew is very easy to work with and was able to deal with any surprises that came up (such as a broken water shut-off valve). I have a small child at home and he was incredibly conscientious of closing baby gates, and went above-and-beyond by making a point of trying to schedule the more noisy work around her nap schedule. When we had some trouble with the tile shifting after it was laid, he immediately came back and fixed it. It is obvious that he takes pride in his work and is even able to help with design ideas. We would highly recommend Andrew for any work you need done.

The experience with Andrew was professional and very smooth. Andrew provided a fair price quote to remodel my small craftsman bathroom. I explained that I wanted to maintain the look and feel of the 1920s, and he was able to offer suggestions that met this request. Throughout the process, I was able to consult with Andrew regarding my design ideas, and he was very accommodating to changes. He also offered some of his own design suggestions, which I really appreciated. He kept me informed throughout the remodel process and completed the job on time. I absolutely love how the bathroom turned out. It was a painless process --- and maybe even a little fun! Who knew you could say that about remodeling?! I would highly recommend him for his high quality work and professionalism.

We're remodeling our bathroom and needed someone to pour the shower pan. Andrew from Covenent Creations gave us a great estimate, showed up on-time and did a great job. We are planning to use him again when it's time to tile and hang the shower door.

I chose them because their website showed they did quality work. When the owner came to the house he seemed knowledgeable about the work he wanted to do and the quality of work that would be performed.
