Came and did the work relatively quick and efficient.. it would have been done sooner but the weather was not participating... But we did not have a problem with them coming back. They were extremely thorough and courteous and attention to detail was phenomenal... If we had questions they were relatively quick to get back to us with answers... I highly recommend this company.

"We purchased an older home and after living in it for a couple of months discovered a few issues in the attic and on the outside of the house that needed to be addressed. We also wanted to add additional interior lighting in three bedrooms and replace light fixtures on the outside of the home. Jeremy, from Grandview Construction, professionally addressed all our concerns regarding the necessary repairs to the house. He gave us an honest opinion on what needed to be handled and what steps needed to be taken to correct the issues. Because of Jeremyâ s home construction knowledge and carpentry skills, we were able to address the issues with the house along with making the improvements we were looking for at the same time. After working with Grandview Construction, on our house, I can say with full confidence that I would recommend their services. Grandview showed honesty, integrity, and professionalism in their work. Plus, the improvements they completed to our house turned out fantastic."

"The crew showed up when they said they were very neat in their cleanup and the work quality was very good."

"COS did great at scheduling and confirming the April 17 meeting for an initial design.   All personnel were on time throughout.  My instructions to the designer, Tom Mayfield, were to give me cabinets for $1,000 for the items I then had in a wire bookcase and plastic boxes and bins on the floor of the laundry room, and if space were left over to build in room for large bags like sports bags.  I told Tom that I could not read an architectural sketch, so that I was relying on his design.  He told me that his design, which was to use the whole wall, would offer a lot more space than I currently had in my wire bookcase, and that there would be room left over for a hanging closet.  We spent way too much time with him trying to explain to me his drawing, because I can't visualize widths, angles and directions of doors from architectural drawings.  I decided to trust him since I had explained my priorities and what I wanted and since COS had such great reviews.  I then faced a few surprises when it came time to sign.  The price was well over the budget I had provided, included 3 doors of the design we had discussed and a fourth flat panel, and included no backing (shelves were flush against the wall, which in fact worked out but I find it inappropriate to be told at the end to initial that backing would cost more when we had always discussed "cabinets").   When built on May 7, the system was very nice, solid and well made by installer John Lyons who was very pleasant and also did a great job of keeping the area clean), but Tom's design was poor.  Over one quarter of the space was wasted with a hanging closet accessible only through an 8" wide opening the user would have to reach through standing at an awkward, diagonal angle.  One quarter of the remaining space was wasted through narrow shoe shelves, wide enough for only 3 shoes at a time, to create the 8" access (my husband's muscular arm is as wide as the amount of access given to get into a 22" wide, floor-length hanging closet!).  The bottom portion of the other half also wasted space.  After an unhappy meeting with Tom and various emails and calls expressing my disappointment and explaining the problems, COS was very helpful about removing the useless design features and substituting conventional shelves in the unacceptable half.  The replacement install on June 8 finally gave me the space I had expected and is very satisfactory.  My lessons learned were (1) I had read about and hoped for a good organizer being able to design shelving to hold things in a logical way and maximize use of the space.  Either that hope was a waste of time, money and effort, or I did not get a good design.  The replacement shelves installed June 8 (the full width of the space, straight all the way across, like a bookcase) were far more efficient and generated far more useable space than Tom's fancy attempt at different widths and sizes.  (2) my m.o. has been that if a provider gets as good reviews as COS had that I may not get multiple estimates and seek designs from multiple companies.  Given that I am paying $2,000 when I told Tom I hoped to spend $1,000 (and truly expected beforehand to pay $1400), this did not serve me well, and I definitely would recommend getting another estimate besides COS. (3)  if I can't understand the plans, don't do it--simpler is better.  Be cautious trusting the "designer."  (4) if I get hit with surprises in price when it is time to sign, next time, I hope I will walk away.  At the time I felt like I had invested too much time (I work) to go through the same process with someone else, but the last minute surprises in price were obnoxious and probably a warning sign that the design hadn't been well thought out.    With the replacements, the system is very nice and well-made, give me the space I had wanted, and should add value to the house, but I would definitely get multiple estimates and go with a straightforward design next time.
