Eric & I met regularly to go over what I hoped for, what would be required, and what might make it better. His attention to detail and great desire to make it look like it had always been part of the house was greatly appreciated. From the outside, it looks like it's always been there, and the house was built in 1922. I was always welcome to see what was going on and give my input. The whole process was smooth, and I learned a lot from Eric about what goes into this kind of a creation.
Description of Work: Eric created a bedroom in an attic space that spanned the full width of the house, including 2 dormers, 2 closets, custom-made bedboard under the overhang, flipping the staircase around, installing a glass block window between this room and the back room (an airplane bungalow), and painting. The work was done beautifully, professionally and beyond my initial hopes for this room.

I' ve used Eric Gentry Home Remodeling for five separate remodeling projects: a complete remodel of my kitchen and bath, the creation of a front porch, updating a bedroom, and the expansion of my studio space by bumping out an existing bedroom. I have been thrilled with the creativity, craftsmanship and respect that Eric's team has brought to everything they've done. My home is in the Old Leawood Historic District, where attention to detail is written into the regulations of the Homes Association. Eric has a gift for creating spaces that look like they've always been there, and my neighbors have noticed. His company has done kitchen, bath and basement remodels for several other homes in my neighborhood. I've been impressed by Eric's uncompromising attention to detail: the most delightful and beautiful touches in my home were his suggestions. EGHR has tackled several projects in my home that others have told me were impossible. One of the smaller projects he did for me, creating a tiny front porch, was the most dramatic. Rather than creating a new face for the porch, which would have been the easiest and quickest way to proceed, he directed his carpenters to cut off the existing decorative gable, move it forward four feet, and support the new structure with a post that he hand-finished to look exactly like the old wood. My brand new porch looks as if it's always been there, because the face of the house remains unchanged. I would not be tackling my current project, the expansion of my studio space, with another remodeler. Because of the specific requirements of the room, and the unusual construction techniques involved, EGHR had to do an extensive amount of research before work could even begin. Eric has been very discriminating about the craftspeople he's brought in on the job and great about communicating with me. His bids, proposals and change policies are easily understood, he's always accessible when I have questions, and he's very clear about letting me know what is going to happen each day. The best professional compliment one can give is repeat business, so it's obvious I'm happy with Eric Gentry Home Remodeling. I can recommend them without reservation.

Description of Work: Eric was referred to me by a friend. Eric had just completed turning her attic space into a gorgeous master bedroom. I needed some 2nd opinion and advice on a room addition that was being put on my house. I was having many problems with the company I hired and was impressed with the quality of work Eric had done for my friend and her rave referral. Eric took his time to periodically check on the progress of my construction and helped me understand codes, materials, contracts, change orders, and my consumer rights. He pointed out problems and encouraged me to demand the work be done to the contract and my satisfaction. He was invaluable to me during these 6 months. He has a true respect for quality work and materials and we shared our love of old homes and artistic design. I plan to hire him on my next major remodeling job....my living room!
