Nice Guy Remodeling (The Nice Guy)

Mark Holmberg lives up to his name "Nice Guy Remodeling." He was always punctual and respectful. He kept the workplace clean. He gave us a good idea of the timeline for the project. The price was fair, and he did excellent work. We had used him on a bathroom installation a couple of years earlier, and were happy with that work too. We plan to use him again in our new house. For the actual work, first there was a day of demolition, ripping out the old cabinets, and lath and plaster walls and ceiling. Then Mark set up a temporary kitchen in our dining room for us to use during the project. He had a small sink that he installed for our use until the new sink was installed. That was nice because between the grill outside, and the microwave we set up in the dining room, we could eat a few meals at home, thus saving us money. Once the demolition was complete, we were able to see up into the rafters of the ceiling to the pitch of the roof, and we wondered if we ought to vault the ceiling, even though it wasn't part of the original bid. When we approached Mark about adding this to our bid, he was happy to accommodate this request, even though it was going to add an additional week to the project. Mark had to do a lot of extra jiggering to make our cabinets fit into the space and also to make our floor level. It was an old house and everything was out of square. But you'd never be able to tell based on the finished product. From the exterior, the new cedar siding was painted, and you can't tell that the doors or windows were ever in different locations. He really did an excellent job making the new kitchen and doors/windows look like they were always part of the house (though much nicer than the rest, to be honest). The total time was about 5 weeks, start to finish. The transformation was incredible.
