"Gorgeous work!! Friendly and confident workers. We are SUPER happy with our new bathtub and shower wall. We loved our sales rep, and the installer was great too. They were both very understanding of our hectic home with three kiddos ?? we only had a shower stall in our main bathroom before the install, so we are really enjoying the deep soaker bathtub with kids! A lot less splashing on the floor. So thankful for all of the hard work put into this for us!!"
"George with Independence Plumbing and Bath exceeded my expectations. I had a tub and shower remodel that was not only finished earlier than quoted, but completed with such quality and at a great price. George is punctual, has great communication, and definitely knows what he?s doing and does it with care and professionalism. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who needs any bathroom repairs or remodels."
"Love the shower and the installer did a nice job and was very professional. Only two things that I would like to bring up. The salesman told me that the financing would be billed after 3 months deferred but I received a bill right away from Aqua. Also I called about the door going into the bathroom not shutting after the installation was done and your service Mgr was very short with me. He told me that I was calling his cell phone and that it was a Saturday. I am sorry but if I just spent almost 18k on a service he should be a little more professional."
"I am happy with the job that was done. They did a full basement remodel. Added a full bathroom to my first floor. Put new flooring down on the first floor and turned a half bath into a closet."
"We had all our windows replaced. Out of 14 windows the had to come back and replace one screen. They were great and when I called about the screen they had a great tech out here to replace it as soon as it was remade. Everyone we felt with in the company has been great and with Covid they did it as quickly as they could."
"Yes, they did an excellent job. The only hitch was in a purchased faucet handle for the shower. It was missing screws, so someone had to come back two days later to install the handle. Otherwise, quick and beautiful job completed in one day."
"They did a great job on my vinyl flooring and kitchen counter top and backsplash. They also updated bathroom plumbing and replaced subfloor before doing the flooring. Everything looks fantastic and I would use them again."
"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"
"This experienced father-and-son duo completed a nearly complete bathroom remodel and did a wonderful job. The project was a challenge, requiring the removal and replacement of the drywall on three walls before installation of a new tub and surround, toilet, floor covering, and baseboards while working around the existing vanity. The investment was very reasonable, and they were a pleasure to have in my home. Highly recommend."
