"My job required many different kinds of work so it was necessary to go with a full service contracting company. I admit to being a little nervous working with a large company versus small but it worked out beautifully. Ken coordinated everything and keep me well informed. Everyone was kind, courteous, and left my home clean. All jobs were done well and completely to my satisfaction. Shortages of building supplies was a bit of an issue but everything got accomplished and in some instances better than my original plan. My complements and thanks to all those at Mr. Contractor who were involved with my project. I will recommend Mr. Contractor without hesitation."
"I can’t say enough good things about this company. We hired them to do a kitchen renovation. Both Mitch and Bob did an outstanding job in every aspect. They they were very knowledgeable and quick to resolve any issues that arose unexpectedly. They paid great attention to detail didn’t rush through any of the projects and still finished in a timely manner. They both showed up every day on time and they responded to any phone calls or questions in a timely manner. We have hired many contractors over the years and I honestly can say I would not recommend any of them to my friends or family. However, in this case I would be very happy to recommend both Mitch and Bob to any of my friends or family. It gives me piece of mind to know that on my future projects I won’t have to search for a contractor. I’ll know exactly where to go. 5stars"

"We are delighted with the work Total Home Solution performed on our house. They installed an in-law suite in our basement, complete with bathroom, full kitchen, bedroom, office, and remodeled laundry area. When meeting with contractors for estimates, Tom seemed the most clued in to the needs of older adults, and even made points I had never thought of despite my being a nurse. He was very careful to keep everything within the original budgeted estimate as much as possible, which allowed us to expand the project as we went along in the process. We chose to do the painting ourselves to save money, and they left us with extra spackle, a sander, and paint fan, even though they didn't have to. I also have to extend my thanks to the lead on the project, Chris. I could hear them working from upstairs, and one of the subcontractors was a little, shall we say, salty. Chris remained totally professional, and got all the workers to come together to get the job done right. Lastly, but most important of all, was his humanity and kindness. My father passed away unexpectedly the week before construction was to begin, and the funeral was out of town. As part of our contract, we were supposed to have all furniture and personal belongings removed from the construction area prior to work beginning. We got home after midnight the night before, and Chris and his team arrived at 7am. We had not moved any items, and even though we broke the terms of the contract, Chris stepped up and moved everything himself. He was so kind, and did everything he could so we would not have to worry about anything during a difficult time. He was also very responsive throughout the project, and even immediately answered emails I sent 9:30 at night the day after he got married! We had such a wonderful experience I would highly recommend Tom and Chris to anyone looking to do work on their home, and will call on them for any future home renovation needs. *Note: I did give them a "B" for responsiveness because they were a little slow in the beginning, but as per other reviews, they had some people out and were running short staffed in November/December. We chose to begin the project after the New Year and it was smooth sailing after that. "
"Was able to meet me and my wife’s needs on a small bathroom remodel. Work was great. I would highly recommend for all projects as I used him several other times for numerous projects around the house."
"Rafael did a wonderful job remodeling two bathrooms, installing hardwood flooring, and making various updates to an older condo. He was great to work with and we are very happy with the outcome of his hard work."
"From the first phone call to the end of the construction project they were professional and kind. Matthew not only knew how to help with what we wanted but was quick to have an estimate and began when we needed them. They're estimate was resonable and very appropriate for the job. When they found out our old shower fan wasn't even hooked up to the outside, they fixed that with no problem. Would we have them do more construction work for us, absolutely. Thank you MNB Renovations."

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits.
You don’t have to commit to a complete home renovation to age in place comfortably—those can get pricey. Instead, focus on a few impactful changes. Consider adding a stair lift or installing ramps to eliminate barriers. Upgrading to non-slip flooring can prevent falls while adding brighter lighting can improve visibility throughout your home. These thoughtful updates can make your home much easier to navigate and enhance your comfort and safety without the stress and cost of a complete overhaul.
A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.
New constructions, renovations, and interior layouts benefit from expert drafting.
