Ponce Design Build

It took a little longer to get started than we expected (few months from first contact to starting work) and a little longer for the actual project (about 5 weeks) than we expected, but we were first time renovators and really had no idea how much work would be involved. I was a little skeptical of how this would all turn out, but was extremely happy and pleasantly surprised at how nice everything looked. Gregorio is one of the hardest-working people I have ever encountered and Barbaro was very diligent in communicating their daily progress. They cleaned up as neatly as could be expected each day after finishing. The only variation from the contract price to what we actually paid was due to a minor issue with the subflooring that could not have been anticipated.

They did a really good job, he stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process. I previously interviewed several contractors and he was one of the only ones to put everything in writing. He was absolutely awesome.

In the beginning, we had a extremely rough start. One of the project managers, John, came out to our house and gave us a quote on all of the work we wanted completed. He gave us a quote only to call us 2 weeks later and tell us that it would cost more. We were extremely upset. We contacted the owner, Barbaro, directly and he took over the job and handled everything perfectly. We ended up staying on budget and they even finished all of the work a day early. We were extremely pleased with the outcome and everything looks fantastic.

The experience was pleasant from beginning to end. Barbaro, the owner, was professional and knowledgeable. He was responsive to requests and accommodating of the needs of a family home. The workers were also friendly and responsible. The workspace was cleaned daily. Schedules were kept and changes were incorporated easily. The resulting renovations look good and work well. I wholeheartedly recommend Adapted Living Spaces.

It was a good experience. They did a good job on the remodel. They were nice to work with. I would consider using them again.

I didn't hire them, they just came in and did an estimate. We had a flood upstairs and it ruined some floors upstairs, downstairs, and the walls. We needed it redone. So, we got him to do an estimate on everything. We are going to replace all the floor into the house. Do the carpet and do laminate. It was quite a lot of work. There are different rooms being done, but we didn't end up with them because they were just confused with the estimates was being done. If we ask a laminate they give us a price on carpet. Their pricing is kind of high compared to the other estimates we've had. They were really nice when they came out. One thing that stuck in my head was the price on moving and resetting furniture per room. I have seen through the estimate that the prices were on the top end of most peoples prices and then there was a reset fee, some rooms were a 120 bucks or a little more and I thought that was really ridiculous. Their responsiveness was fine.

The company did exactly what they agreed to do in a timely and professional manner.

Barbaro and his team did a great job. They were professional and conscientious. We had no problem trusting them to be in our home while we were at work. They were even willing to work over two weekends to complete the job on time. I would definitely use them for another home improvement project.

The service was very good overall. It’s now a wheel-chair accessible bathroom, which the company owner had a lot of knowledge about.

The experience went well. They were friendly, on time, and very helpful. They listened to our needs and were pretty flexible with what we wanted done. Their price was comparable to others. We just ended up not going through with the project.

Sent e-mail and left v-mail briefly describing the scope and scale of the project. No responses to either.

Not good? I appreciate the subsequent follow up.

We love this company!!! As Adapted Living Spaces did not do small jobs the owner gave us the name of his cabinet builder and told us to go directly to him, which we did. Adapted Living Spaces, however, continued to oversee the project. Their associate was personable and professional and was here to oversee the actual work. The work was done by the company GORDON CUSTOM CABINETRY, INC. located in Buford, Georgia. This company could not have been greater. The owner, Bryan Gordon was professional, gave us good advice and the cabinets were designed, created and installed by his associates. The price was reasonable. We are delighted with the results. We would recommend Adapted Living Spaces and Gordon Custom Cabinetry to anyone The price also .included a 10% Angie's List discount as they had advertised. I did not even have to ask for it, they just included it. How great is that!

My husband and I needed to rebuild our sunroom which was barely insulated and had a serious water leak. In the winter the room was very cold and in the summer extremely hot which caused our energy bills to be very high. I contacted Adapted Living Spaces for an estimate. There was a slight delay in getting the estimate due to fault of the Sales Person, however once the owner (Barbaro) was made aware of the incident, it was quickly resolved. The estimate and contract was drafted quickly, with minor negotiations on the contract, we had a start date. Every day from May 24 - June 14, Adapted Living Spaces showed up on time, was very professional, worked diligently, and left the work area very neat. Barbaro consistently kept my husband and I up to date on the schedule of events for the week in advance either by email or a simple phone call. There were no surprises. Since we were remodeling an older home, we ran into surprises, which were quickly resolved with Barbaro's experience. As mentioned above, our project entailed of breaking down the existing breakfast room, rebuilding the frame, installing three windows, an LVL Support Beam to secure our roof, adding insulation, sheet rock and painting the interior. ALS installed floating hardwood floors throughout the breakfast room, kitchen, and den area. The exterior of the room has a stucco finish with a new roof and gutters. THE ROOM IS BEAUTIFUL! My house is cooler, and we are truly enjoying the room. Thank you ALS for a job well done. A.S.

We were quite pleased with the work done by Adapted Living Spaces. This company has a special interest and expertise in remodeling to provide handicap access, but they also do general contracting work such as this. A very important aspect to us was the integrity and reliability of the contractor, and Barbaro Ponce met and even exceeded our expectations in that regard. He provided a detailed estimate of the project and was very willing to work with us in making modifications and adjustments as needed. We were concerned about the possibility of having work start with demolition of several areas only to have the crew disappear for days or weeks at a time. Barbaro assured us that he never worked that way, and he proved to be a man of his word. He provided a firm start date, which he met, and from that point forward not only was his work crew on hand every day, but Barbaro himself was usually present during much of the day to address any issues and to assure that all went well. He kept us well-informed of progress and any potential concerns, and even provided verbally or by email the time at which he expected to arrive for the next days work. Barbaro's crew were skilled and efficient workers, and his subcontractors including electricians and plumbers were similarly reliable and excellent people to work with. The site was carefully cleaned at the end of each days work. This project was completed ahead of schedule. On the final walkthrough, we raised only a very few, minor issues that Barbara immediately addressed. We enjoyed working with Barbaro and his company, and we are very pleased with the work that was done. We would certainly recommend him for any sort of contracting work such as this.

The job went perfect! Barbaro and his crew showed up exactly as scheduled, finished the job on time and on budget. It looks great! From the the very onset of the project I was impressed. This started with Barbaro showing up quickly and on time for the initial estimate. I can't tell you how many other contractors that I had contacted that showed up late for the initial appointment or did not show up at all. It was very frustrating. Then I contacted Barbaro and things went very smoothly. His initial professionalism, promptness and attention to detail when we were scoping out the details of the job were what sold me on his company. He is also a pleasure to talk with. Very courteous and friendly. All in all everything turned out exactly how I wanted it, right down to the very last detail. Oh, and Excellent tile work!!

It was great. They were very upfront about how long everything would take. They were very diligent about their clean up and doing everything so there wasn’t grout everywhere. Everyone he brought to work was very good at their job. He only used top notch people and he watched over them to make sure they paid attention to detail.

Overall positive.Barbero was 100% accessible during the whole project.

They were great and I really liked them. They were responsive and punctual. They got to me with the quote when they said that would. The quote was thorough and detailed.

I called Barbaro Ponce in for an estimate, which he gave. He outlined the phases of the job and did all that he promised as far as emailing me a timely and fair estimate of costs, labor, time, etc. In the end, I had to cancel the set work date because of difficulty on my end. I thoroughly intend to recall him in the next month or so to re-schedule.

Follow up work done report: Removal of existing tile in foyer, hall and kitchen, and installation of new tile in the same areas. The job took a total of two weeks, due to only one tile craftsman performing all the demolition and new tiling work, but it was very well done.

The project was seasonably priced. Work was done on time. The quality of work was outstanding! Workers were polite, hard working & paid attention to detail. Came on time and worked until work was completed. Eager to please customer.

The contractor was excellent and very helpful and informative when other contractors had not been. The only problem was that the loan fell through, so we have to wait do it for a few more months.

Mr. Ponce was the only Angie's List contractor that answered my email. I made an appointment for him to give me an estimate on installing prefinished hardwood flooring in two bedrooms. He was on time and friendly, the estimate was provided as well as completion time. I hired him immediately. The job was completed on time and with outstanding quality! I will definitely keep his number handy for my next project which will be my basement.

All went as planned and expected with a few minor changes along the way which also is to be expected with a major remodel.
