"Dan and his assistant arrived on time and they were both clean cut and friendly. He brought several samples of a wonderful grout recoloring product he uses (sticks to the grout, but not to the tile) and applied my color choice on a test tile so I could be sure of the look before starting. Dan was very meticulous during the job, going over everything twice to be sure nothing was missed. Whenever I requested something while they were working, he couldn't have been more accommodating. The end result was a wonderful improvement! I am so happy with the new look of the tile and highly recommend Victory Cleaning Systems. I would not hesitate to use this company again as Dan is a nice guy who is very customer service oriented and his and his staffs' work is high quality. His company offers many different types cleaning/restoration services and I'm sure he would do a great job with any of them."
"This review is a long time coming, but it does give me perspective since we have been living with these changes for a while now.The first project was started in late 2013 and finished in January 2014. It consisted of moving the laundry room to the second floor of our home. The master bedroom is adjoined to the fourth bedroom where we decided to enlarge that room's closet for our washer and dryer, closer to all our bedrooms. The original laundry room was converted to a pantry. The other part of this project was enlarging our master bedroom walk-in closet. It was very narrow and divided into two areas by a wall and door. Young Remodeling managed the project well and had excellent contractors. They provided excellent quality workmanship in all aspects of the project including extending hardwood flooring into the pantry, tiling the new laundry room floor, installing bi-fold doors, refinishing the ceilings and painting the walls and trim, building the pantry shelves, rerouting electrical and water services to the new laundry location and more. Total cost was about $25,000. The second project was the kitchen remodel. This project was suppose to start in August 2014, the cabinetry had been received and they were ready to start demolition when a medical issue arose that meant we had to postpone the project. Young was very gracious to hold our new cabinetry in storage until we could restart the project in April, 2015. We had a new kitchen by the end of May. The project consisted of a radically different layout. We worked with Young's designer to come up with a great plan.They provided lots of drawings and paid attention to details to optimize our new kitchen. All of the cabinets were replaced and Young installed all of our new appliances. They re-stained the hardwood floor that extends into our family room. They rewired the kitchen and moved the canned light fixtures to better meet the needs of the new layout and installed our new pendant light fixtures over our new island. They refinished our ceiling, painted and the trim and walls. They figured out the best way to vent the new cook top from it's new location.They installed the new granite counter tops, the new exterior door and a large window. In the family room, in addition to re-staining the hardwood floor, they painted the walls and trim, refinished the ceiling and replace our original wood mantle with a stone mantle. The quality of their work was again outstanding. Both Jenny in the office and Rex in the field were very easy to work with. Rex came back recently(September) and fixed a cabinet problem and converted our pantry shelves from adjustable to fixed, for heavier loading at no charge! Total cost was about $60,000. This did not include the new appliances, window, sink and faucet or pendant light fixtures. So, now over a 1 1/2 years from the first project and 4 months since the kitchen remodel... we love it all and wouldn't change a thing! We are now working on a list of changes we want to make in other parts of or house and Young Remodeling will be our first choice.
"They were very professional and nice. I kind of felt double-teamed - two guys showed up in two separate trucks. They wanted to put 13 piers around my house to fix the problem. The price for a pier is not a bad thing but it seemed an awfully extreme fix for what I had asked them to come out for. I?ve gotten their calls weekly possibly from the guy wanting to know if we had made any decisions yet on what we were going to do. I think they are a harder sell maybe than the other ones I talked to. We have had a couple of people tell us that there is no way we need that extensive work done, so I would probably not consider using them."
"We were satisfied with the work although it took much longer than anticipated. There were glitches along the way which delayed final installation of the cabinets. Several times there were imperfections in the cabinet doors that had to be sent back to the manufacturer for replacement. The manufacturer always replaced the doors with no questions asked. A plumbing connection caused a water leak in my basement that took over a week to fix. The leak needed to be repaired, the carpet dried out, the pad replaced and the drywall replaced in one area of the downstairs family room directly under the kitchen sink. The 7-10 day project ended up taking well over two months. Company management was very good until they received their payments, then we never saw them again. They never once called for feedback on how the job went. "

"I had someone else try to fix it a few days ago but he couldn't fix it. I called Jeff and he came right out. He had to run up to the department store for one little part. He had it fixed in less than 30 minutes."
"It was very nice. They put in a tile shower and it was so beautiful. They removed the marble top and put in a granite, and also they did the floor with tile, It was much up to date bathroom and they also painted it. They did a great job."
"My husband and I are big DIYers, but when it came to the exterior finish of our home, we just didn't have the time or expertise to do it correctly ourselves. We spent a lot of time and energy working on the interior of the house, but we didn't really pay any attention to the exterior. We started looking at the siding this fall and realized that it was in pretty bad shape. We have board & batten siding, very typical for our area, and we had 8 sheets that needed to be replaced and several more that needed some minor repair. We also had rotted batten boards everywhere (not sure of the total count that was replaced). I contacted Castle Rock to set up an appointment for an estimate and Jim called me right back and made an appointment for the next day. Jim was very professional and experienced, and gave me a great quote on repainting the house. The work went smoothly, and the crew that came out to complete the repairs and the painting were courteous and professional. They cleaned up when the work was done and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!! I will certainly call them next time i need work done!! "
"He did the work, then the concrete developed chotes, I called him, he came out, and he told me that they would be back to do some touch-up work. I have called him over 5 times and he tells me that they will come out to fix the problem. It has been over 7 months of consistent contact and they still have not fixed the problem.
After my complaint, John sent someone to repair the defect and it is repaired to the best of their ability and as well as could be expected."
"I had gutter failure from huge storm in KC area last weekend, which caused water to pool in front of a basement window well and led to my basement flooding. I tried calling many other gutter companies, but they all were 2-3 weeks or 2-3 months booked out. the owner of 5 Star construction came out to give a bid, and immediately said that he would take one of is crews off another project to immediately address put up the new gutters so as to avoid further flooding into my basement. He said my situation was way more urgent than his other customers. He had a crew out the very next day to put up the new 6" gutters with splash guards, and addressing some of the other minor siding repairs."
The cost to repair a stone countertop typically ranges from $200 to $800. The final price depends on several factors, including the type and severity of the damage, the type of stone, and labor costs. Minor issues like small cracks, chips, or scratches are on the lower end of the cost spectrum, while more significant damage that requires resurfacing, refinishing, resealing, or custom color matching will be more expensive.
Quartz countertops are relatively expensive, but they’re a very popular option because of their durability and attractive design. Some manufacturers also offer lifetime guarantees for their products. Even though they’re expensive, they could wind up being a one-time purchase.
Marble is a porous natural stone that needs sealant to minimize staining. Leaving this type of countertop material sealant-free means any liquids left on the surface will quickly absorb into the stone, discoloring it and dulling the sheen. Dark or acidic liquids, like red wine, coffee, and lemon, are the worst culprits.
Yes, you can generally put hot pans directly on a granite countertop without worrying about cracking, as it is a durable, heat-resistant stone that can withstand high temperatures. However, it is still highly recommended to use a trivet or hot pad as a precaution. Prolonged or repeated exposure to high heat can potentially cause discoloration or damage the countertop's sealant, making it more susceptible to staining. Additionally, the heat from a pan can transfer to the granite, creating a burn hazard for anyone who touches the surface shortly after.
It typically costs $1.25 to $4 per linear foot to repair a granite countertop seam, though the costs will vary depending on whether you do it yourself or hire a pro. The costs will also depend on the extent of the seam and whether your countertops have any additional issues. Granite countertop repairs cost$200 to $1,200, depending on the problem.
