"Needed custom blinds installed on two bedroom windows, and the job was completed right on time and turned out perfect. We will use 3 Day Blinds for all of our future window projects. Process was easy-peasy from start to finish."
"I am satisfied with the job that Home Genius has done here with my windows. The job was very neat, and the new windows look perfect. I am pleased with everything they did!"
"The windows were manufactured earlier than we expected and we were promptly contacted about installation. Although we were told the installation was scheduled for two days, the four man crew that arrived was able to finish in a single day! Each window was installed with the same consistency in quality and efficiency. Furthermore, the crew did an excellent job protecting our floors and furnishings in every room. When it comes to evaluating the installation crew, we couldn't be happier. Regarding price, we probably paid more than we should, but that's on us. We advise getting several other quotes first and then get Castle's quote. This will definitely help in your negotiating. The windows have definitely helped to eliminate draftiness in our home and helped to maintain a consistent temperature."
"I called Competitive Painters because they identified custom cabinet refinishing among their skills. Several companies had terminated discussions when they learned that the cabinets were in the master bathroom. Robert Coulter was not put off by that. He first came to our house to initiate an estimate on 5/6. He reviewed the water overflow damage to the cabinets and took pictures. He also suggested other related work his firm could do in the bathroom to restore the look we wanted. I told him that since I had to replace the toilet in the master bath, I was planning on replacing all 3 in the house with low water flow units. He gave me some good advice on purchasing them and suggested that his firm could install them. We like a clean modern look. and we could see that Robert understood what we wanted for the bathroom. He came back later in the month with a refacing plan that used wood rather than MDF on the faces, matched the paint and utilized the same hinges and hardware preserving the look of the bath. He and his crew were polite, punctual, friendly and efficient and cleaned up after themselves very well. Robert continued to make helpful suggestions throughout the process. They installed two of the new low flow toilets in June but due to the floor scheduling the third had to wait until the first week in July. Robert was very patient about the delay. Since flooring work was already planned [and turned out to be more complex than anticipated ] Robert and his crew were very good about scheduling around the floor work and our needed travel in June. The refacing was beautiful and much more compatible with the bath environment than the previous faces. My wife and I believe it will last much longer now."
"Mega Kitchen and Bath remodeled our bathroom and we couldn?t be happier to have worked with them. Throughout the whole process, from picking out finishes with Ibrahim to demolition and installations, the amount of detail and time put into our project was excellent. The managers and workers were on the job site every day to make sure all details were taken care of. The time line given was followed as promised and they finished the work on time. We are very pleased with the final result and are looking forward to work with them again soon.

"Wilson and his crew are amazing! They fixed an armoire door (antique French, so no hinges) when no one else was able to do so, and restored its veneer and cleaned the glass on the doors which had 200 years of mineral deposits. Next, they reupholstered a barrel chair, doing a beautiful job; it looks better than when I first bought it. Wilson has over 40 years of restoration experience with the Catholic Church in Italy and Ecuador, and it shows. He is also very personable and diligent when informing his customers of their job status. I highly recommend d them."
"I hired this company based on reviews from Angie's list. My experience was a bit different than the A + rating they had. The answered my call for a quote and arrived on time. The communicated in Spanish about everything. We all walked the house together and I pointed out everything that needed painting. We had a discussion about the master bath, the last words I heard George senior tell me was "we can fix this". They quoted me a price of $3400.00 and said if I got everything done at once, he would take $200.00 off. I didn't get other quotes because I just moved in and time was a factor, so I can't really comment on price. During the week, they dropped of a large paint sample thing to make may choices from. They arrived early to start the two-day job, a Friday and a Saturday. They finished the job on Saturday, as promised. My master bath was not painted, the wood on the steps was not painted, they removed all the drapery hardware and it was tossed out apparently, they took a blind down in the master bedroom and I had to remind many times for them to fix it, they did with crazy glue. The walls and ceiling are beautiful but the trim is horrible. I am still painting over spots that were missed or the paint was wiped off when they cleaned the floors. There was a quarter sized drop of paint on my maple dining room table. There was a large spot of white trim paint on the colored wall in the hall, but worst of all I continue to clean small spots and areas where there is white paint on the oak floors. They did do me one favor and lift a TV back up above the fireplace that had been taken down for painting. They did leave all the extra paint in the basement, one bucket not closed and has a paint roller floating in it. The worst thing was them teasing my dogs and getting them agitated and pushing each other towards them and laughing. Overall, I don't think I had an "A" experience. Unfortunately I would not recommend them or use them again. "
"Excellent! Worked with me as I was having surgery and needed to delay the order. Sent swatches per my request quickly. Good to work with. A really good deal for the money! "
