Get matched with top contractors in Columbus, WI

"Everything went well. Workers were professional and they got the job done in a timely manner. Would definitely hire again!"

"Very smoothly. The contractors where very personable."

"They did a fine job, however, getting in contact with them was incredibly frustrating.  When we finally did get them, they would say, "We called you," but if they did, they did not leave a message.  My husband gave them our house phone, cell phone, email address, etc. and still it was very hard to get a hold of them.

|Another thing that was nerve wracking for me was that they showed up with other people and wandered around our farm a couple of times, taking pictures.  And they brought their dog who would bark and made our dogs bark, too -- plus they hooked her/him to the pasture fence a few times which made my animals nervous.



|



|They were very friendly and worked well when they were working.  Once they started the job, they finished it in a timely manner.  However, because it was so difficult to contact them, they lost out on another job that we had.  They wanted to do the whole job (we would have liked them to do the brickwork) and gave us a quote for everything -- however, we wanted to deal with the contractor we'd already started working with -- he said that he would subcontract with them so they could do the brickwork (this is before we had really tried to work with A O Handy).  After trying to contact them numerous times, and some of the other unease about their wandering around the farm, we decided to go with a subcontractor that the contractor knew.

|As far as using them in the future -- if we had a small job, my husband would consider them, he really liked their work -- as long as it wasn't something that had to be done in a timely manner since we wouldn't know how long it would take them to get back to us.  My husband flat out said, "Please leave a message, so that I know that you called and when you plan to be here" and still they didn't.

|I don't know what the cost of the service was -- I'll have to ask my husband, who is not available this week."

"Did a good job at a reasonable price. Would hire again."

"I would totally recommend this company! Ariel went above and beyond for me when replacing my roof and gutters! Ariel would call me and let me know he was on the way or if he was running even 5 minutes behind. My house looks great and I will be using them again come spring to start replacing some of my windows. Thank you Ariel! Your crew was great, too."

"There were conflicting stories between my property manager and Fireside. My property manager quoted me one price. The bill was twice as expensive. Ultimately, Fireside worked with me and I was happy."

"It went spectacularly. Not only was the work done exceptionally well, all of the inevitable "issues" that one runs into when renovating an old house was dealt with by Kitchen and Bath Solutions during the course of the project. When it became clear that I needed some unanticipated electrical work, framing work, and plumbing work to do the renovation that wasn't in the initial project description, Kitchen and Bath Solutions was not only able to identify the solutions, but also able to take care of making it happen in a way that minimized the impact on the project timeline. All at an excellent price. I was so happy with their work that I engaged them to install new hardwood floors throughout the house after they were done with the first job. Again, they did it rapidly, at an excellent price, and with great results. These folks transformed my mother's house. I can't say enough about Alberto, Elle, and the rest of the crew at kitchen and bath solutions. Not only do they help guide you through decisions, do excellent work, deal efficiently with unexpected "glitches", and offer a fair price: They also are the kind of people that you enjoy having in your house. This is critically important in deciding who to hire for a job of this scale, as it is inevitable that you will be needing to share your space with the contractors as the work is being done. As an example, my mother was living in the house for the ENTIRE time the renovations were happening. The Kitchen and Bath Solutions crew not only came in on weekends and worked around my mother's needs to make the disruption to my mother's life as short as possible, but they also helped her out with the other "little things" that she needed while they were transforming the house: They treated my mother like she was their mother. It was super valuable to know that you have people that you trust and like when you have to share your living space as much as you have to when doing a renovation on this scale. In summary: I highly recomend Kitchen and Bath Solutions based on the quality of their work, the fairness of their price, and the rapid pace at which they make the project happen: no matter what complications arise. I also recommend them highly because of the people they are: you can trust them completely and this removes a lot of the stress that accompanies renovation projects like this. I feel now like they are part of my extended family, I'm already thinking of the next project I would like them to help me on and I wouldn't go anywhere else."

"very well, they aloways do a great job and we are very happy with the service"

"They responded quickly to my request for quote and were very flexible with their schedule. Fair price and pleasant to work with. Highly recommended."

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design!
