"As with a lot of homeowners, we were scared stiff about starting a home remodeling project after all of the horror stories we had heard from friends. We were pushed off the edge by a master shower that stopped working and could not be repaired without tearing up the walls. We dove in after reading great reviews about VKB and totally lucked out by getting matched up with Calvin when we walked into the store. From start to finish this has been an amazing experience starting with the design phase, to demolition, construction, and final walk through. Calvin was perfect for us. He first asked us to collect pictures of bathrooms while he took meticulous measurements of our space. He then held our hands through what he called an “organic process” of designing our dream bath. What was really fantastic was when we had to choose tile, he walked us next door to the humongous tile store (where he was previously the store manager!) and smoothly guided us through one of the hardest choices to make with the perfect recommendations. The project was then handed to Al, the construction manager, and again we totally lucked out. I highly recommend this team of Calvin and Al. The construction phase went super smoothly. The workers are extremely clean and respectful. Everyday they lay down clean tarps and cover the carpet they are walking on with sticky plastic sheets. (We have white carpet upstairs and after they were done and a quick vacuum it is absolutely good as new!) Demo day was painless, no dumpster... just hand carried away in a truck. Construction happened pretty much daily from 8-4. We didn’t have to be home when the team was here and we felt absolutely comfortable leaving them home unsupervised. I am an orthopedic surgeon so I’m very precise about measurements. Each night I would sneak into the bathroom and measure everything, and I’m telling you all of the measurements were spot on! Also of note, they taped up two plastic sheet barrier walls between the master bedroom and bath which left the bedroom perfectly clean and livable with zero dust. We slept in our own master bed during the whole master bath remodel. In the end the project took one week longer than expected (this happened over Xmas holiday) and right on budget with no HGTV surprises. Al kept in close touch throughout the project and would text back immediately whenever we texted him with a question. Jose was also incredible during the entire remodel. We absolutely love our new bathroom and we honestly can’t think of any choice that we would change looking back. After this fantastic experience we are already planning our kitchen remodel with VKB next year. I will absolutely insist on my same team of Calvin, Al, and Jose. I have no fear of my next remodeling project"

"I looked to Home Advisor to find a contractor to replace our deck and give us ideas for our screened porch that really needed an uplift. I no sooner put in my contact information when I got a call from Tommy Greist, the owner of Bent Palm Design & Build. He set up a date and time to meet with my husband and I and and gave us ideas we hadn't thought about for our deck and porch project. His website was also very helpful to see other projects he had completed. His price was right so we signed the contract. Tommy's crew started the work a month later and they finished in under 2 weeks. We are very happy with the finished project and would highly recommend Bent Palm Design & Build to anyone looking for a dependable contractor to do any renovation project."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"Howard Shires From American Home Contractors came out to my house today and repaired my roof. He arrived on time and did a great job. I would highly recommend Howard to anyone needing roofing work."

"After meeting with numerous contractors in January 2020; we choose to work with Persky Custom Builders and the owner Josh Persky. They did a fantastic job remodeling my parent's dated kitchen on budget and in the timeframe promised. The whole project start to finish went well and my Mom is thrilled with her new kitchen. I am very impressed with the workmanship, attention to detail, and care put into the job by Josh and crew. When minor hiccups came up, Josh was always calm, candid, addressed issues quickly, even going above and beyond what was required. It was such a pleasure; we'll definitely work with Persky Builders on future projects. If you are looking to improve your home, look no further than Persky Custom Builders"

"I quickly received an estimate on adding insulation to a colonial. The work was scheduled shortly after that. (~1-2 weeks from what I remember). Workers arrived on time and were pleasant. Part of the job included one of the workers climbing through a hole in a ceiling, since there was no access to the attic in that section of the house. That attic section was also the only access to the area above a cathedral ceiling. They spent quite a bit of time making sure that there was insulation between all the beams in the roof above the cathedral ceiling. This insulation makes a huge difference. Initially it was the initial 1965 insulation, ~1 1/2 inch thick and absent in sections. Now it is R44 and was a great investment. It was well worth the cost considering they insulated a large colonial in addition to a section of house that was not easily accessible and took more time than expected. They did not charge more than the estimate."

"We had two companies provide estimates (including Jenny's Design Build). Both had high ratings on Angie's List. The two price quotes were very close so we were comfortable that the prices were where they should be. We decided to go with Jenny's because the other company's offering felt like a cookie cutter implementation whereas Dave at Jenny's had some very creative ideas on what could be done with the space we had. The entire design was customized to our tastes and desires. Dave seemed genuinely interested in doing some creative things in the bathroom.
Once we selected Jenny's we met with each of the preferred vendors. This process was a little ponderous as we had to make appointments and find time to get there and make our choices. The people we met with work with Dave on many projects. They were very helpful, especially the tile consultant we met with. Of course, we went slightly over budget on materials but we got exactly what we wanted. When we were not able to find fixtures that we liked in our price range with the recommended vendor, we told Dave that we wanted to get those things on our own. He had no problem with that approach and simply removed it from the estimate.
The work began on time. The same crew worked the demolition and initial build out of the floor and drywall. The team arrived every day around 7:00 AM and was cleaning up by around 3:00 PM. The site was left in good condition every day. The installation went very smoothly for about 4 weeks (which is exactly the time frame we were quoted).
After the final installation was completed, we provided a punch list of things we wanted fixed before we made final payment. Dave and the team worked it off but ran into a few problems with materials at the end. A part needed to be ordered on main shower handle and some tile touch up had to be done around the custom niche in the shower itself. These delayed the final use of the bathroom by another week or so...as the contract stipulated, final payment wasn't made until all that work was finished.

Throughout the process, Dave was very responsive. Although he didn't make it to the site every day, he was always available by phone or email. We would exchange several emails a week during the installation. Whenever I had a question, Dave responded before the day was out, usually within a few hours. We were extremely happy with the work that was performed and have already begun thinking about the next project we want to do next year. Jenny's Design Build will be at the top of our list when we execute."
