"Eli and his crew were wonderful to deal with. They took our job of repairing part of our porch structure, tearing out an existing deck, and building a new deck with a different design. They explained what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. They answered my many, many concerns and questions. Eli was very patient with me. They worked around my flower beds, my dogs, my grandkids, the heat and the rain. The work they did to save our porch and build a new deck was flawless. I would definitely recommend this company. It was a pleasure to do business with this company. (My husband and I would give them more stars if possible)"

"The job was done to our satisfaction. It looks really nice. The contractor was easy to work with. We would use them again. All debris were hauled away and the work area was cleaned up."

"I don't know where to start. I wish all carpenters were like Daniel Garcia. I must admit I had reservations trusting estimates after my last experience with the contractor that stained my deck a couple years ago. Daniel took time to explain to me the areas that needed extra care and how he could fix what the other company did wrong. He wasn't pushy and understanding my prior experience, he confirmed my comfort throughout each step of his process. Although it took more time and work, Daniel and his team took their time to sand the whole deck to ensure they did a great job, were proud of their work, and would have a satisfied costumer. Not only are we satisfied, my deck looks even better than we were expecting. I will definitely hire Daniel again, and please trust his expertise, he knows what he's doing. 10 🌟's if the rating was possible!!!"

"Owner was extremely professional and competent and treated us with utmost courtesy at all times. His skill and craftsmanship is first rate."

"Garman Painting Custom Decorating painted my home and I was very pleased with this company's work and professionalism. They advised me on the best paint to use so that the work will last a long time. I've done work with Garman Painting several times in the past."

"We gave Frank and his team (Rob worked the entire time so far as well) a million things to do and they did a fantastic job on everything. They're finishing some flooring they recommended also (so far, un.be.lievable!). I cannot recommend Frank highly enough. Great guy, honest, reliable and I will be hiring him for many years to come on pretty much EVERY need we have for fixes on the house!"

"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.
