"Once we completed the work the homeowner responded on Angieslist with a gleaming review which was removed by the owner. There were no comments in regard to any dissatisfaction of any items(drywall or paint). After weathering 2 of the coldest winters we have had in years the owners experienced some kind of settling and/or heaving of the foundation of the 30-40 year old addition which encompasses about 1/2 the kitchen. So when the foundation heaved, materials cracked. The tile separation was right where the addition met the existing house, typical when two foundations not properly attached to each other and footings not properly set. After assessing the problem, my recommendation was to fix the foundation prior to any repairs."
John and his crew worked hard, every day for 8 weeks. He responded to every question and every piece of feedback we had, usually within an hour. He charged us exactly what he said he would charge us and the quality of his work is fantastic.
Removed a wall between kitchen and dining room, to create a nice flow to the front room. Removed soffits from around the kitchen ceiling to allow for 42 inch cabinets. The walls were pretty messed up from several layers of wallpaper and wallboard that we removed, so John's guys had to prep all that for paint. They did an amazing job. The walls were so smooth it was like they were brand new. They installed a new double entry door. When the old door was removed there was some bad wood and drywall there so they repaired that too. Once the permits and inspections were done, they really got to work. John helped us order beautiful cabinets and they actually arrived a bit ahead of schedule. That was great. The cabinets were installed in 2 days time which we thought was pretty quick. They looked amazing. Better than we imagined. We elected not to have granite countertops due to the expense so we went with a different style. Once we got the countertops, John was on hand for the installation to make sure everything went perfectly, which it did. The walls were ready for paint (we did the painting). The floor was ready for a new surface (we did that too). They cleaned up everything so nicely. They had their own equipment to clean and haul away the debris. Overall it was a good experience for us, since we had never hired a contractor for anything ever. John helped us rookies get through it. We would certainly hire him again and would recommend him to anyone.
John Novotny has built a fine business with the combination of his own quality work and excellent sub-contractors. These people are concerned about their workmanship, reputations and making sure that the homeowner is satisfied with their work. John (& subs) use quality materials and are attentive to details. John is a very good listener and he provided helpful insights and suggestions for the project. Every remodeling project that we have undertaken has had a few unexpected things arise along the way, John made sure that these worked out to our satisfaction. He is open to questions and communicated in a very responsive manner throughout the project by phone, text & e-mail. This is one of the reasons that we felt that the whole process went very smoothly. Additionally we tend to add work after the initial contract is signed, and John was fair and reasonable in the costs for the change orders that we made. Final details were finished in a timely manner and the work was done professionally from beginning to end!
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOHN NOVOTNY/PRAIRIE HOMES & RESTORATIONS, AND WE WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN FOR FUTURE WORK!
Now, when we enter our front door it's as if we have a new home. We are happy we incorporated John's ideas into our plans. Our home has a new,open floor plan. The remodel is beautiful. We feel safer as well due to the various updates that were done. John was always available to explain what was being done and why and was very receptive to our desires and any changes due to whim or necessity. Any problems that arose were handled promptly and to our satisfaction. The workmanship and quality is outstanding. John, Josh and the rest of the Prairie crew did a great job! We are most pleased! My husband already has another job for them for next year.
Once we signed the contract, he coordinated the architect, presented multiple options to us, and got all permits going with the city. We didn't know everything that was behind the walls but had a pretty good idea based on what was seen in the basement, and what was above. Once we had agreed on the worst possible case, he cut into ceiling to ensure his throughts were correct.
Once the permits were set-up and approved, he tarped off the entire section from ceiling to floor, and got to work. They took down all the drywall, custom cabinets, sink, plumbing, electric, gas, and whole house vacuum, revamped the entire support beam structure, and then relocated all the electric, plumbing, gas, and vacuum through those pillars. they then framed the pillars and finished it with wainscotting. His team then finished up the painting of the walls and ceilings, and completed all the remaining clean-up work that needed to be done.
John took care of every extra detail that we asked for, and we couldn't be more pleased. John is a true professional and his team did excellent work for us.
We will be using Prairie Homes again for any work we have around our house.
John is professional, friendly, timely, and extremely qualified.
