We have been very pleased with the work that Kalfas Home Improvement has done for us. They have been very good about fixing little things that we were unhappy with and doing little extra things to make us feel very good about the project. We would gladly use Kalfas Home Improvement again in the future.

We were very satisfied with the quality of their work. Things went generally very good, when we did have a question or were not satisfied with some aspect of the job, it was given immediate attention. Phone calls were returned promptly and workmen showed up as expected. The double pocket doors we speced were not ordered and unfortunately had to be replaced and this was after they were stained and hung and had the hardware installed. But bob realized it was their error and he replaced them without any hustle. He did try to make the ones they supplied work, but when we were not satisfied he took care of the situation without any problem. We found them to be good problem solvers. Their workmen were pleasant and polite.
Description of Work: Replacement of bedroom and bathroom doors. Installation of double pocket doors. Painting and staining of all doors. Touch-up staining of existing windows. Shower replacement. Electrical work, including channeling of concrete floor for installation of electrical cables for computer hook-ups. Replacement of thresholds after new carpeting was installed. (They did not do the carpet.) Installation of locks for pocket doors. Painting for 5 rooms, including ceilings.
