Focalpoint Renovations

It went great! he was very responsive to our questions and respectful of the process of getting multiple bids and trying to be fair as possible. We were impressed with his thorough estimate and recommendations on how to avoid ice damns in the future. We had him repair 4 ceilings and 3 other areas that needed drywall and trim. He does quality work and really took the time to make sure our house clean each time before he left. We plan on using him for some other upcoming projects too. It is nice to find a solid, trustworthy carpenter that actually calls you back these days!

All carpentry work was done very skillfully. The work area was cleaned up every day, at the completion of work. We had some frustration with scheduling communication. Some cracks appeared in the caulked seams, a couple of months later, but he sent someone to repair them. We asked for an estimate for an additional project, but he hasn't gotten back with us.

It was a great experience. Very professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Focalpoint Renovations.

Contacted Daniel after reading some of the reviews for Focalpoint Renovations on Angie's List. We had already talked to a few contractors before checking out Angie's List that was recommended by a friend. So Glad we did! Daniel made us feel very comfortable in our choice of Focalpoint Renovations. Redoing our kitchen was a huge undertaking and something that we had been contemplating for some time. Through the whole process (which was about 12 weeks) we were able to live in our house while the crew worked around us without much disruption to our busy lives. The work was completed ahead of time and right on budget (although I do believe that there probably should have been some additional fees). Daniel and his crew were on time, on budget and very professional. He is a true master of his craft! I wish there was some way to post pictures of this job; that is the only way to fully appreciate the attention to detail. THANK YOU AGAIN ANGIE'S LIST!!!!!

Everything started well, Daniel came early with help, worked all day and the pricing seemed OK. However after a week, there were some issues with the weather, then he didn't show up and gave an excuse that his son was sick for a week. After that, he would show up sporadically and by himself, saying he had to make up other projects also. He would give excuses of the rain even though it didn't rain and the forcast called for a 30% chance of rain in the afternoon. He would then show up for half a day once or twice a week. One week, he did not show and said he was on vacation. After 2 1/2 months, he finally finished the deck after we had to threaten to finish the job ourselves and not pay him for the completion of the job. It was initially supposed to take 2 weeks, and although there has been a lot of rain, he has made no special effort to make the work up. Additionally, we have called him numerous times and he has never answered or responded. He will respond to emails, usually giving excuses. Also, there was no trim included in the estimate, so this was not done. He said he left it off because of the additional cost, though I have yet to see a composite deck without the trim. I decided to give him a second chance and scheduled him to finish the trim. After another couple of weeks, he came by with a contract and said it would only take half a day, and he may even stop by on Sunday to work on it. 4 weeks later, and several more excuses including his staff being sick, and a day he had to take to get his cell phone fixed (supposedly the day he was scheduled to stop by), he still did not show up. Finally, I had to cancel the contract and finish this myself. The work that was done was done well, but taking 4 months to finish a deck (and not even finishing it) that was supposed to take 2 weeks was ridiculous, and I cannot recommend him for any other jobs.

Daniel is extremely knowledgeable, a gentleman, and a consummate professional... His crew was equally professional, courteous, and did outstanding work. I will not only recommend Focalpoint Renovations to ANYONE who needs work done on their home or business, but I am planning on having additional work done on my home and can't imagine going to anyone else to get it done. Their quality of work is impeccable and they performed a 5 day job in just 3 days... They took pictures throughout the process do document the existing damage they were repairing / replacing, AND explained their quote to my insurance adjuster nearly doubling the amount that my insurance company would agree to cover (in the terms of thousands of dollars)... Thank you so much, Daniel! I'm looking forward to the next project!

Our complete kitchen renovation was stalled after the cabinets were installed the granite countertop and all other work complete except for the back splash. Since we were expecting guests staying with us over the July 4th week, we wanted the job completed before they arrived. We had the tile and was waiting for our original contractor who informed us on Wed. June 20th, that he would not be able to install it until later in July. On Friday, June 22nd I turned to Angies List and found Daniel at FOCALPOINT RENOVATIONS. After explaining our problem, he agreed to look at the job on Sunday morning at 9AM. On Sunday morning at exactly 9AM, Daniel arrived, gave us a very reasonable price and agreed to meet our deadline. He would start the job on Wednesday and finish up on Thursday. At 8AM on Wednesday he arrived along with a helper, prepared the area in a very professional manner, proctecting the carpet etc. and began the job. From the outset it was obvious that Daniel was a true professional at what he does, the quality of his work was exceptional. They returned the following morning and finished up the job, did a really great job of cleaning up, honored the original price as quoted and finished to our tight time schedule. Everything about this experience was as good as it gets. I would definately recommend FOCALPOINT RENOVATIONS to all.
