They did a great job. We have had very [positive experiences and I would highly recommend them to others.

Great! Mark, Greg, and staff were great to work with, extremely professional. The quality of their framing and trim work was excellent. There attention to detail and accuracy does lead to a slightly longer process. They won't measure for the cabinets, which were custom built, until the framing is done, and won't measure for counter tops until the cabinets are in. It is worth it. When you're spending $100,000 on a kitchen, you want it done right.

Outstanding job. We got a very high quality kitchen. They were also about 10% below the other bid that we got. Marty, Mark, Greg, and their staff were professional, communicated very well, and did outstanding work. Only two two minor critiques. The project took longer than we ideally had hoped, 12 weeks versus 8. However, they gave us the 12 week schedule upfront and met it. Also, at one point, we were trying to cut back on costs, and they suggested using an alternative cabinet maker than they had originally recommended, who would charge a little less, which we did. We have a couple minor issues with the cabinets (minor cosmetic things that only the owner would notice). With the higher cost maker, we may have avoided the issues, but that was out choice. Great customer service. They contacted us a few times after completion to see if anything need to be adjusted, and they sent the painter back after 6 months to do some touch ups at no cost. He touched up minor dings that we did.

We worked with an architect and Terra Firma was a recommendation. They were helpful from the beginning and we couldn't be happier about the estimate, write-ups, timing estimation, work done, how they dealt with subs, guaranteeing of work afterwards, etc. I could go on and on, but they are craftsman and care deeply about the work being done and giving you the best. 
We love doing work ourselves, but this was far and above our capacity for time and expertise. It was our first work with a general contractor and we were especially happy. It was nice to have a dedicated lead carpenter / project manager to entrust with our home while we were way. They worked with us and communicated to drive the project completion, but also to our liking.
 The only knock would be that to make sure you are clear if you are working with an architect of any additional things you might want to include in a proposal with Terra Firma to make sure it isn't glossed over. We managed most of our project, but it is easy to look at the nice drawings and write-up from the architect, even when we made changes post drawings. A few things that happened in conversations didn't get recorded, but they were resolved. We will work with them again.
