Nekole G of Homestead Improvements recently completed two major tasks in our Master Bathroom. She replaced an antiquated tub and surrounding shelf with an Ella’s Bubbles ‘Big4One” Walk-in Tub, the surrounding shelf and adjacent tile floor. Her workmanship was outstanding and the end result is close to perfection. In the second task she replaced old square tile with hexagon tile and repainted the toilet room. Our Master Bathroom has been transformed from an eyesore to a modern masterpiece. Nekole is very knowledgeable and professional. She is also a pleasant to work with. I strongly recommend her for virtually any remodeling task. I also note that she did an excellent job of cutting our cat’s toenails

A friend of mine who had a bathroom remodel completed in her home referred Nekole to my husband and me. This was after Pete Wasilewski, owner of CPC Contractors, walked off the job after four months of incomplete on our ¾ basement bathroom. Nekole showed us where our former contractor performed substandard workmanship and then quickly, and efficiently, performed the demolition work. The remodel was completed by one (1) woman in less time than the three-man team who was previously working on it. Nekole’s performance and temperament are astonishing, we love her passion and pride for her work. I would recommend her to anyone who asks, which is why we are already on her schedule for future work within our home.

Nekole was prompt and professional. She did high qualitiy work and helped us problem solve on a couple issues. Best of all she understands scheduling, she was able to schedule the job and she was correct on how much time it took her to complete the work. I will definitely contact her again.

Nekole was friendly, professional, and cleaned our gutters at a reasonable price. We were satisfied with the work and have also scheduled additional work with her.
Response from Homestead Improvements
"Thank you for the review. Look forward to keeping those gutters cleaned and more work!"

Excellent remodel. Very happy with the quality of work performed. Nekole is very professional; easy to work with, attentive to detail, a true craftsman. I will consider Homestead Improvements for any future projects. Highly recommend.

Finished product is Wonderful! Nekole is interesting to work with. She insists you acquire all materials with heavy doses of her assistance and her professional discounts. The project ended on time and is a showplace, and as a bonus I learned a lot.

Quick caulk work.
Response from Homestead Improvements
"Thanks for the review! Yes most caulking jobs don't take 2 hours, and I usually get knocked on the review because of that. What can I say? I'm am fast at that part, I've been doing this for years! Call when you have more work! :)"

Nekole is a pleasure to work with. Hardworking, gracious, fun to have around. She is very open to homeowners' ideas for cutting costs and has many great suggestions of her own. Our bathroom was transformed in record time (8 days) with a little bit of help from us--we did some demo work and shopping but not much else. Tiles look great! Other tradespeople on her team are also quick workers, very polite. We are already hiring Nekole again! So much of our home needs her expert attention!

I had two sections of fence blow down and one post snap during the March blizzard. I called Nekole the next day and the fence was repaired in a week. I also had her convert one section of fence into a gate. Work went well.

It went great! A few years ago, Nekole redid our upstairs bathroom and did a wonderful job. We had her come back to remodel our family room, the first step in fixing up the rest of the house. We had new paint, floors, recessed lighting in the laundry closet, baseboards, doors and door frames done, as well as all the associated jobs. Once again, Nekole and her crew did a fantastic job. I highly recommend Homestead Improvements; Nekole is an expert and a professional and knows exactly what she's doing, and she has exceptional people working with her. You can't go wrong with Homestead Improvements.

Nekole completed a bathroom remodel for me. I am very pleased with the results! Nekole is very easy to work with, she is professional and listens to what you want and makes sure you are in agreement before she starts any work. She also has good suggestions if you are unsure about something. The tile work is beautiful. The work was completed in a timely manner. She also did a partial remodel on another bathroom replacing the vanity, sink, toilet, and moving a wall cabinet.

Homestead Improvements (owned by Nekole Gudmunson) did a master bathroom remodel for us. It looked poorly done so we got some second opinions. Three general contractors (all tilers), an interior designer, and seven friends (who had all had remodeling work done on their houses) said it was very amateurish (like putting a bull-nose tile in the middle of four regular tiles - see photo below). We hired another general contractor to redo the job. He said that Nekole didn’t use any sealant behind the shower tiles and that the shower seat was improperly sloped. Plus, she cut half way down through one of the floor joist, which our engineer said was definitely a “bad scenario”. Additionally, there was a tear in the rubber liner at the base of the shower – our new contractor estimates it would have started leaking in about 3-4 years. Also, as of March 19, 2019, the three “reviews” at the bottom of her website (by “Liza”, “Rick” and “Sia”) are not hers. They were copied from other websites on the Internet. We do not recommend Nekole’s work to anyone.
Response from Homestead Improvements
"Thank you for taking time to write a review. These help in developing strategies to prevent any future problems. The main task is to have a remodel that you love! There were initial delays that have impacted this job unfortunately. One being damaged tile, two being extensive change orders. This job was handled with the utmost delicacy so you would be happy in the end. (which you both were at the end.). I don't agree with the grading overall. I have some quotes here from you stating: "We've looked over the bathroom and we're mostly thrilled with how it looks!". "And BUT, it's looking terrific and we are pleased with the final choices of tiles/colors/fixtures/etc.!" I have shown pictures of the bathroom to countless people and all agree a B. Now you did mention a list at the end of the job. We went over that list and I knew it wasn't done completely, which is what most of these close up pictures show. You decided you wanted to have someone else finish it and I agreed to that. Furthermore, I asked you both daily how you liked the tile and was met with a positive answer. I always review the tile layout as it is not easily changed. Therefore some of these claims are ??. I adjusted the bill so you had the funds to do that, to make it right. I take great pride in helping customers get a great bathroom. I am sorry you are not pleased, but overall the bathroom looks awesome. The extensive time I took with you both is more than average. I think we went on 2 or 3 shopping trips to get items. Along with extensive conversations about every detail in the bathroom. So overall this just doesn't make any sense. No I also didn't cut a ceiling joist. I have pictures of the joists, ?? I am sorry that it didn't end completely with my work. But I'm satisfied that I adjusted the bill to make it right. Thank you for your business and God Bless."

Nekole is by far the best contractor I have worked with. Her personal attention during my extensive master bathroom remodel made the process as stress-free as possible. She was always patient and helpful, advising me on materials, and meeting me at all tile, granite, flooring, etc stores to coordinate choices together to help realize my desired designs and aesthetic while still keeping costs under control. She focused fully on my project, personally supervised all others such as electricians and plumbers that were brought in, kept me updated and responded to communications immediately. I so enjoyed working with Nekole that this is actually the third job I have hired her for. She also did a full remodel of a basement bathroom and a partial remodel of another bathroom, all with beautiful custom tile work for shower and floor. I would definitely hire Nekole again.

Because of different floor heights (shower basin and bathroom floor), Nekole had to custom make a shower curb that would ensure the water flowed off of the shower door into the shower basin and not out onto the shower floor as before. Her design worked great.
Response from Homestead Improvements
"Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I appreciate the opportunity to fix your shower curb. Please let me know when you are ready for more work!"
