CBK INC.

Description of Work: Gutted and remodeled a bathroom. This bathroom was originally built over the roof of the carriage entrance to my old Webster home. It hangs over the driveway and presented many challenges. I had it gutted and completely redone, removing the tub and relocating the toilet and shower. CBK was referred to me by the architect I was using in planning a more extensive remodel. It turned out that they did not work well together and when CBK bid the final plans, the bid was double what my budget was. This was after the bathroom was completed so I discontinued work with both the architect and CBK.

Description of Work: Kurt and his crew gutted a bathroom built on a structure that extends over the driveway. They had to replace the posts that held up one end and then gutted the inside to deal with previous problems and rotted wood.

Description of Work: CBK, Inc. did a kitchen remodel, electrical updating and some outdoor structure install and repair for me at my main residence. The kitchen remodel included cabinets, flooring, reworking of the plumbing, ceiling fan install, and other repairs/enhancements. This job also included updating electrical supply to the home - a 1950's home with a need for upgrading of electrical supply. CBK, Inc. also did repair work to my detached garage and built an arbor in my backyard. Additionally, the owner, Kurt Saale, coordinated purchase/install of a new central heating/cooling system and a new water heater. While performing these repairs he also pointed out other minor things that needed repair/updating and provided that work at very little extra cost to me from what was in the original bid. Because I was so happy with CBK's work and professionalism, I also contacted him to do some minor kitchen remodel - moving of some cabinets, new lighting install, ceiling fan repair, and drywall repair, at my country place in Southeast Missouri. Additionally, he did some other repairs/reworking of things throughout this country home. This was a newly built home at the time, but I had run into issues with the original contractor making these desired changes as I was trying to coordinate that long-distance. Kurt was very willing to guide me on all of these changes - sometimes suggesting other changes I had not thought of - then gave me a very fair bid for all of the work - and was able to coordinate his sub-contractors to do the job very quickly despite the distance. Then, this past Spring, I had major storm damage at my country place - had damage to the home exterior and screened in porch and also MANY large trees down throughout my 40 acre property. Was having trouble finding somebody local to do the needed repairs and to cut up the trees that were reliable and within my budget. I contacted CBK and Kurt was very helpful, again despite the distance, and within a week personally came to my country home and made the home repairs himself at a very reasonable cost. Additionally, he offered to bring a crew of his guys down to do clean-up with all of the trees. Within a week of that initial visit for the home repairs, he had his crew down there and had all of the trees in the immediate area of the house all cleaned up. Later this Fall he will bring his crew back down to clean up more of the trees from the remainder of my property. Amazingly, despite the distance the crew had to travel, his price was much more reasonable and the work was very thorough. In comparing the work they did to what many of my neighbors had done by locals, CBK's work far exceeded all of it and was much more competitively priced than any of them. His crew even separated and piled all of the brush for ease in burning, cut all the wood in sizes that can be easily handled in my fireplace, etc. - they went way above and beyond with the service they provided.
