Take2 Custom Remodeling

Take2 Custom Remodeling is very professional and prompt. They were great with communicating with us and keep us up to date on the project. Take2 Custom Remodeling did a great with problem solving.

Paul Miller, owner of Take 2 Custom Remodeling, completely remodeled our bathroom.  Everything was replaced including bathtub, toilet, vanity with sink and marble top, walls, floor, tile in shower/tub area, medicine cabinet, sconces, crown molding at ceiling and floor trim.  All the faucets were replaced and the room was painted.  We also had Paul repair a large crack down the center of our great room, and it is now invisible.  The ceiling was repainted along with some of the walls, 9 doors and also the woodwork.  Four pendant lights were installed over the bar in the kitchen.
I couldn't believe how little dust was produced during this project.  He and his men were on time every day and he immediately addressed all our concerns. I am so happy with the way it all turned out and we would definitely hire Take 2
in the future.  Thanks Take 2!

Take2 Custom remodeling exceeded my expectations, and was very helpful in working with what I wanted / needed for the remodeling process. Went above and Beyond in some of the design fases, and remodeling projects.  Oversaw everything from start to finish. and there are more projects needed to be done to complete the remodeling in my home. I will definitely have Take2 come back, not only was organized, but detail oriented, and ensured that I was satisfied with the outcome, also cleaned up any mess created by the remodeling. I truly appreciated the efficiency, and honestly. He anticipated that something would go wrong although he wasn't sure what , aka needing to rewire the house due to a lack of conduit. He was upfront about anytime you tare a wall out and gut something your bound to find something you didn't expect. Thank you Take2!!
Below are a list of things we had done:
Doors hung
Trim and Base board tacked up Trim and baseboards painted
opening in stairway wall redone (to a more modern look) 
Laundry room put in (previously did not have a designated spot for Laundry so washer and dryer were in the garage)

Paul Miller of Take2 Custom Remodeling exceeded all of our expectations. From the start of the project, through completion; Paul provided us excellent service at every step of our kitchen remodeling project. Paul worked with us tirelessly; from preparing estimates and revised drawings, to material selections for our project. We had a specific budget set to complete this project and Paul worked with us to ensure all of the improvements we desired were included and within our allotted budget!
    Once we agreed on the scope and price of the project, Paul proposed a schedule and completed it to on time. We had hoped to have the project completed prior to a family gathering, and Paul was able to make that happen! During the construction, when our kitchen was unusable, Paul arranged to set-up a make-shift kitchenette in our family room to use.
     We really love the work that Paul performed in our kitchen. The craftsmanship and attention to details was excellent. All of our family and friends have given us outstanding compliments on the look of our new kitchen. I would certainly recommend Paul Miller from Take2 Custom Remodeling to anyone considering a remodeling project!

I contracted Paul Miller (owner of Take2 Remodeling) to remodel my kitchen and build a small walk in closet in the attic bedroom consisting of putting up 2 drywalls, a door and some basic metal shelves from Home Depot. I signed an agreement covering both jobs, gave a $500 deposit and things seemed to start well. I asked that the closet be done first since the kitchen work was a few months down the road. Paul agreed and started the work on the closet for which I then paid him $1200 to do. That is in addition to the $500 deposit.
It took him a week to get it done and then he came back a couple weeks later to finish up (after allowing me time to paint). Things were still going ok. The day he came back he merely installed the trim and to my amazement he snuck out while I was on the phone without saying goodbye and the job was unfinished (and he left a mess)! I immediately called to see where he was and he acted like he didn't even realize that he left saying something else came up and “before he knew it he was on the highway” .....what???
One of the shelves he installed fell down 2 days after he hung it because it wasn’t attached to a stud. This was hung on the wall he put up too. So he re-hung that shelf in a stud but left the large holes in the wall from where it fell down. For the light, he installed a square fluorescent light in the ceiling in place of the previous round light - which was fine however, he didn’t bother to patch the old round circle in the ceiling so now that there’s a square light you can see up into the ceiling because it was never patched and finished. Lastly, he installed new baseboard trim (which I also painted) and must have run out because there's one wall left without any trim at all. So he left without saying goodbye and I'm stuck with a hole in the ceiling, a few holes in the wall and missing trim on the floor. That's not what a $1700 closet sounds like to me!
I was completely shocked that he left without abruptly and that day he left me a long message apologizing and promising to come back – saying how out of character it was of him. I am here to say that is totally his character and here’s why - it’s now been three months, I have called and emailed him numerous times, and he's promised to come back to finish on at least 3 separate occasions - all of which he canceled at the last minute. I finally gave him 30 days to finish and that didn't happen either. So needless to say I'm not using him for the kitchen. I believe that how you do anything is how you do everything and anyone who sneaks out on a unfinished job only to never come back again is definitely NOT gutting my kitchen.

Overall everything went very well!  The price was extremely fair, and the quality of work was very good.  Mr. Paul conducted himself very professionally.

Guided us in choosing countertops, etc. gave guidance but followed our wishes. Respected our budget and worked around our schedule needs.
