"Our inspector, Mike Mele, was wonderful. From start to finish, he not only was very professional and polite, but he did an amazing job of telling us our problems (pretty major) without fear mongering us into upsales. He told us our problem, recommended a solution, gave us a very reasonable price to said solution, and then constructed us a payment plan process that won't hurt our pockets and will ease our stress. Thank you so so much! Im freaking amazed and grateful as hell."

"The installation of the egress window and sump pump was performed in a skilled and professional manner. It's a complex and dirty job that really needs to be done right the first time. While Jordan is not the cheapest, the work done was of the highest quality. After the project was completed, the walls were repaired and everything was meticulously cleaned. Jordan went the extra mile. I would definitely recommend JDS Home Improvement."
"I am very pleased with Earth Friendly Services. They were polite, friendly, and fixed my electrical problems for a reasonable price. I will absolutely call them again! "
"Travis and Chris were a great team and did an amazing job bringing our guest bath out of the 80's and into a beautiful modern space. Travis worked with my husband and me on our design vision and helped us pick out materials to complete the renovation. From there, we made a deposit and scheduled a date. This was a complete bathroom overhaul that required all new fixtures. When they tore up the carpet (yes, carpet) in the bathroom they found that the floor was half the cement foundation and half wood subfloor, which made for an uneven surface not ideal for laying tile. Travis quickly came up with a solution that allowed us to level out the floor and put down the tile we wanted. This delayed the project slightly, but it was well worth it to have a beautiful finished product. Each evening Travis and Chris cleaned up the space as much as possible and were very respectful in our house. I would definitely hire Graham Restoration for our next project and look forward to working with them again! "
"They were great. The accidentally disconnected the dryer hose while putting in the new sink in the laundry room and came back and reattached it at no additional cost. They were polite, professional and their work was A #1. I will definitely have them come back when I need additional work. "
