It went well. The remodel required an engineer assessment before it began, at their insistence. His team executed the repairs per engineer specifications. They returned once or twice to clean up minor issues… with a smile. Good leadership. Good crew.

"Two of them came out. There was a long list and we were happy to pay more, but I was not pleased when I got home. I wanted the caulking in the shower redone and they did not get to that. There is a gate in a storage thing out in the side yard and the door needed patching. I just did not like coming home. I felt like they rushed and just did not get it all done or even attempted to get it done. The price was not the issue. I just wanted those things done. With two of them here, I felt like they could have done more."

"I'm very pleased with his remodel of my kitchen. He even met me at Home Depot and picked up the counter tops for me. He went up and above the call of duty to see that the job was completed to my satisfaction. Home Advisor should be proud to have him on board. He said the job would take 3 days, but completed in 2.5 days. This entailed tearing out the old counter tops, sink, range top and vent hood and replacing with all new appliances and sink plus laying ceramic tile on the back splashes. Great job!!"

"Amanda was really very good! At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it. It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about. I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!
