Jim is pretty much a one man show in terms of design, proposals, invoicing, etc. He does not have a show room so we had some initial concerns about material selection and coordination. We were novices at this process and did not want to spend thousands of dollars on a complete kitchen remodel and have it look like a hodgepodge of new materials. Jim reassured us he would help us along the way and said no one had been disappointed in theirremodel job up to this point. The project was a go. Right before demolition was to begin, we discovered termite damage in the basement joists under the kitchen and damage to the subflooring. Jim offered to contact an engineering firm to conduct a structural assessment of the damage (for an additional fee) before work began on the kitchen. Based on the assessment, Jim provided us with a proposal to repair the damage since he preferred that his crew do the work. Due to liability issues, the exterminating company?s policy is that they do the work. Initially, there was some confusion about the cost of the repairs but we worked it out and were successful in having the exterminating company grant permission to have Jim do the work. This process resulted in a brief delay of the project. Once the project began, things moved along smoothly. We met with Jim and Marty DeRocco, the Project Manager to review the work schedule and to begin cabinet selection. Jim and Marty were very helpful in guiding us through the maze of material selection. As novices, the process was overwhelming at times and challenging based on the fact that I am traveling out of town half of each month. Jim and Marty were very responsive to suggestions and questions; they were available by phone, text or e-mail, days, evenings and weekends. Jim even worked during his vacation. Both are great communicators and very effective at keeping things on schedule. As work progressed, we decided on a number of upgrades such as spray foam insulation in three exterior walls rather than standard fiberglass, additional insulation outside the scope of the original plan, a new radiator, higher quality Lazy Susan, additional lighting, luxury vinyl flooring (purchased and installed separately), etc. Some of these upgrades seemed rather expensive but again, that could be the prevailing rate. Jim or Marty always informed of the additional costs in advance so we could decide how we wanted them to proceed. Cabinets were our major expense; they turned out beautifully. They are high quality and the stain and glaze we selected looksvery nice. The panels on the Lazy Susan were mismatched but that was corrected immediately. There were challenges throughout the job because nothing in our house is square or level. Overall, the subcontractors were very good, especially the plumbers and electricians. They were conscientious about minimizing dust and dirt and cleaning up at the end of the day. The painting was not part of the original project so we asked that it be added. We wanted the entire wall painted prior to the installation of the cabinets. I?m not sure if it was a scheduling problem or standard operating procedure, but the cabinets were installed first and the painters cut out around the cabinets. Perhaps in a newer house, this works well but in our house, it did not. You could see the white drywall behind the cabinets. My husband did a lot of touching up to correct this problem but in a few places, the white drywall is still visible. In defense of Jim & Marty, we could have called the painters back but we decided it wasn?t worth it at that point. If I were to do it over again, I would insist the walls be painted before installing the cabinets. When the granite countertop was delivered, the granite supplier wanted to install it in a way that was unacceptable to my husband. It wasn?t a major problem; he just didn?t like where the seam was located. The installer said, ?We always install it that way?. Marty intervened and said, ?He?s the customer; install it the way he wants.? This is how Marty consistently approached the job. We decided to purchase luxury vinyl tile instead of going with wood, ceramic or sheet vinyl for the floor. It is beautiful flooring that gives the appearance of stone, requires grouting and specialized skills for proper installation. Jim and Marty were very accommodating in permitting us to negotiate with the flooring company to have them do the installation rather than use their subcontractors. Unfortunately, the flooring company ordered the wrong tiles and had to reorder them, delaying the completion of the project by about two weeks. Marty was able to reschedule his people without a problem. A word of caution to the inexperienced?.when we went to select our granite countertops, the salesperson left us with the impression that we had to purchase our sink and faucet from them as part of a package deal. Their selection was very limited. Perhaps it was our inexperience but we ended up settling for something that is very nice; however, it is not what we would have purchased had we gone to a kitchen showroom where the selection would have been much greater. The only other area of frustration for me was the format used for invoicing. I prefer detail and the invoices were lacking that. I like to see line items of all costs, material and labor. This way, I know, for example, exactly how much the cabinets are costing and how much I am paying to install them. I like to see all known costs for things such as dumpster fees, permits, and anything that is to be ?scoped and quoted separately? in advance of the project start. I like to track the budgeted costs with actuals, knowing full well that some of these numbers will change. There were several mistakes on the invoices and it took a while to figure them out. Once it was brought to Jim?s attention, it was corrected immediately. In defense of Jim, as I stated earlier, he is a one man show and doesn?t have a staff of clerks to do this kind of labor intensive work. At no time did I question Jim?s integrity; they were honest mistakes. Bottom line is Jim and Marty are two of the finest people I?ve dealt with as contractors. They pride themselves in quality work; they are very customer service oriented, personable, and professional. They communicated effectively, kept the job on schedule and followed up to ensure we were completely satisfied. They are expensive but I guess the old adage of ?You get what you pay for? is true in this case. I think if you were to walk through the kitchen door, you would say ?Wow!? I still don?t know how all the design features, colors and textures came together, but they did. The flow and efficiency of the kitchen is greatly improved. I would definitely use JRL Design again because, as they say on HGTV, our kitchen went from ?crappy to happy "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/pa/oreland/chr-home-services%2C-inc-reviews-303009.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"LaffCo.

I work full time at home and especially appreciated this. They thoroughly cleaned my home - kitchen area, interior cabinets and drawers, hallway, and garage - after the demolition and the painting was complete.

My experience with Matt and Alex at Ancient Art Stone began with a warm welcome and discussing what I had in mind. They let me walk the showroom, granite and marble yard, they have a huge variety/selection after about 35 mins of looking at all the different colors, patterns and types I narrowed down my choices. Matt suggested I take samples of the three colors I liked home to see how it would look in my house and in the light. I live within a 20 min drive so I could see the sample in my house and return it the same day.
Once we figured out the quartz type and color, then we moved to the granite island and determined type as well. Matt set up a measurement appointment, the technician was on time and I was running 10 mins behind. He waited for me instead of leaving and making me reschedule. It was nice to have that level of customer service.
With the measurements done Matt called me within a day and ask me to come in and pick my slab of granite. He had two slabs of "Titanium" for me to pick from. The Slab Cutters had pulled out the slabs and were waiting for me so we could go over where on the slab would be the best part. They used their expertise to guide me to the best part of the slab and how it would look with the countertop.
The installation was perfect and the quick. They gave us instructions on what products to use and gave us a starter set of cleaner and sealer. I'll be going back to Ancient Art Stone for future work. They not only have an enormous selection of granite, marble and quartz they carry porcelain tiles, large, small and trims. Great people and a great company to do business with they made me feel I was just as important as some of the more larger and more expensive jobs.

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines.
Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
