Most of what I found online felt more like random handymen, and several only took cash, which made things feel a little off. I ended up being referred to Paul by another locksmith who didn't cover my area, and I'm so glad I followed through. Paul was quick to respond, had reasonable rates (especially for same-day service), showed up exactly when he said he would, and knocked the job out fast and efficiently. No drama, no sketchiness, just honest, professional work. Highly recommend Paul if you want someone dependable, fair, and above board. I'll definitely be keeping his info for the future!

Had to remodel our bathroom in our house - and we only have a single bathroom. So, I spent a decent…read moreamount of time looking at vanities, toilets, bathtubs, fixtures, etc. across different stores and online. Wound up stumbling into Fox Home Center while checking out different places. Honestly, Fox Home Center is probably not the best place to go if you are looking for the cheapest option. But, if you want quality items and, at least from what I experienced, a near "one stop shop" with good customer service, I would recommend Fox Home Center. Mark was great to work with. He answered all my questions and was honest with me. The vanity I originally wanted, he explained, would not arrive in time for our project. So, he helped me find a great alternative. We wound up buying a "display" mirror for a significant discount and we love it. Mark made sure the display was not damaged (a real challenge as this was a big mirror) with shipping. Something that made me trust Mark- to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off, on my own, I went to manufacturer (Moen) website. Turns out Mark was offering me the Moen "sale price", the lowest price that Moen would give if you worked with them directly. That made me feel pretty good, as I had not even asked Mark to give me a discount. When I asked to ship all this stuff to my house, there was no problem or fee. He kept it all together for me at the store as each time arrived, making it easy to keep it together. All items arrived and installed as described. To really top off the good customer service - the Toliet we ordered wouldn't fit (not Mark fault, because Contractors didn't measure until end of project). But, Mark took the Toliet back without hesitation and gave me a full refund. I plan on purchasing from them again in the future, and I am happy to support a local business.

Pretty good service. Installation was smooth, we went from older liftmaster to a newer liftmaster…read more I also appreciated that they lubricated the rails and the door is quieter now. A couple issues did occur. The installer didn't take the lightbulb from the old liftmaster unit and add it to the new one, they just threw the old one out with the perfectly good light bulb in it and didn't install the bulb in the new unit. I had to go in the trash to get the lightbulb from the old unit after the installer left. Also, the garage door opened and closed from inside the garage but from the alley, the remotes would not close the garage. Only open it. I messaged Mohamed and demonstrated the issue over facetime. Eventually, he stopped replying to my messages and didn't provide a timeframe for sending somebody back out to look at it. I took matters into my own hands and deleted and reprogrammed the remotes myself several times until the garage door remotes worked as they should. I would have preferred that these issues were addressed on the first visit but in the end, the garage door is working again.

We learned that the old windows were not even windows by today's standards, they were just huge panes of glass that gave no insulation. He measured the windows so quickly (like 2 minutes) that I wondered if the windows world 3 actually fit (they did!). The price was extremely reasonable; we had intended to get three estimates but my mom and I both lined Kris so much we decided to go with him right away. I chose a day for installation when Kris was going to be out of town on vacation so he let me decide if we wait to wait until he got back or if we wanted him to send his right hand man Daniel. We went with Daniel who showed up right on time on a cold morning. I thought removing the old badly cracked panes of glass would be very difficult. I was right but they got the old ones out quickly and the new ones in so fast and they finished about 30 minutes before their estimate. They only removed one window at a time and our house never got cold on a 33 degree day This was one of the best customer experiences for a project I have ever had. I chose EV Windows after asking CharGBT to find me a great window company with very good reviews and I'm so glad I did. I do not have one negative thing to say. I most strongly recommend Kris and his team.

Their care and attention to detail stood out. They were incredibly respectful of the surrounding furniture, walls, and floors, and the cleanup was so thorough that the only sign they had been there were the beautiful new windows. I would strongly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking to replace their windows at a competitive price.

Luke and his team were timely, professional and their quality of work was impeccable - they are just overall great to work with for shorter or longer-term projects. As we think about future needs, Venetian Designs will 100% be our go-to team. We had a laundry lists of project "asks" for Luke and his team: paint our entire house (three floors), install new base boarding and trim throughout the house (inclusive of our old wooden windows), paint our kitchen cabinets, create built-in shelving and cabinets for our living room, install recessed lighting throughout our home, install new doors throughout the home, gut and completely remodel 2.5 bathrooms, add wainscoting as accents, sand and re-stain our staircases and re-do the aesthetics and tiling around our fireplace, finish unfinished closet space to turn into a wine cellar, finish another unfinished area of our basement including adding ceiling tiles (to name a few). One of the many things we truly appreciated in working with Luke and his team was their willingness to expand their typical work expertise beyond painting, which by the way, is picture perfect as they really know how to pay attention to all the small details...my wife and I still joke that we can get lost in the deep blue on one of the walls. What I can't stress enough is how great of a project manager Luke is. He is open about other jobs that his team may have, but will always make you feel like you're his priority. He's always responsive and doesn't "ghost" his customers. In terms of project planning, Luke did a thorough job thinking through our master shower remodel which included stripping down an older tub and shower and turning the space into a 6 foot long shower. This is the type of contractor you want to partner with you and what separated Luke from the other contractors we evaluated early in the remodel decision. Again, what really sets Venetian Designs apart is their abilities to project plan, to provide guidance on whether or not something is structurally possible or aesthetically makes sense and to be proactive in communication around timelines, cost, materials needed, etc. He was truly transparent about what could be done within our budget and provided great ideas for alternative ways to achieve the look that we wanted. These were such refreshing qualities and my wife and I were low stress throughout the entire project. Please enjoy some of the before and after pictures of our home below. Please note that Luke did not install our hardwood floors, but recommended an awesome flooring guy for us who we would also recommend to others (@Flooring by Krystian). Please feel to message me directly if you would like more details on our experience with Venetian Designs. Many thanks to Luke again for making our first home perfect!!!

We originally started looking for a contractor that could handle a laundry list of mostly cosmetic…read moreprojects such as patching and painting in the house we'd just purchased that were either left undone or were done at a substandard level by the contractor that renovated the house before we purchased it. After putting out a request through the Yelp search service, O's was one of several that contacted us seeking to provide an estimate for the work. Out of all the contractors that came by to give an estimate, O's was the only one that provided straightforward pricing without playing games like increasing the overall price to make up for projects we decided not to take on just yet, and they also provided an honest assessment of what kinds of materials we'd need to get things to look the way we wanted them to. Luis provided the initial estimate, and was courteous, knowledgeable, and easy to work with from the first time we met him, all the way through the completion of the project. He took time to listen to what we wanted, and provided sound advice on how to get there, instead of just telling us how something had to be done and not considering what we wanted the finished result to look like. He took time to listen to us regarding everything from the big picture of how to get the project from start to completion, to the smallest detail of paint and design, and he continually made sure each piece was done to our complete satisfaction. I can't say enough good things about his project management and how thankful we are to have had him working with us on this. Whenever anything came up, he was always a text or a phone call away, and it was taken care of just like that. I also can't say enough good things about the crews that came to do the work. Every single one of them was friendly, courteous, respectful of our home and our needs while they were working, and most importantly, incredibly skilled in their work. Their skill and attention to detail were phenomenal, and they always took care to make sure everything was done perfectly. I'm sure I told each of them over and over how their work made the house look the way it should have from the beginning, and if we'd had our choice, they would have been the ones to do the work originally. They also took time to do a thorough cleanup at the end of each day, and were happy to check in with us and keep us posted on their progress, as well as making sure we were satisfied with the way things were looking each step of the way. Every single one of them were true professionals in every sense of the word, and their work is second to none. The interior spaces finally look the way we'd envisioned them from the beginning, and they took time to fix all of the issues left by the original contractor down to the smallest detail. Looking now at their truly superior work, I can safely say there's no comparison between the way the house looked before and how it looks now. I also can't thank them enough for everything they did. In the middle of the project, our basement got flooded by the storms in July 2023. The mostly cosmetic project that we'd originally hired O's to do before now became a complete basement renovation, including the replacement of drywall, studs, insulation, the pouring of new concrete, laying of tile, and then painting and decorating the entire basement essentially from scratch. O's team handled this unplanned second phase of our project just as well as they'd handled the first, with Luis providing his stellar project management and each member of the team providing their superior level of workmanship once again. We now have a fully functional finished basement once again, and honestly, one that far exceeds the previous version we had as well. All of this is thanks to the team at O's, who we couldn't possibly have done this without, nor would I trust anyone else to work on our house after having experienced the quality of work we got by hiring O's. In addition to all of this, they made sure to stay within our budget and still managed to give us the home we'd dreamed of all along. We're also already planning our next project with them, and wouldn't even think of going to anyone else. TL;DR: if you need to hire someone to fix literally anything in your home, hire O's. It'll be done right the first time, no matter what condition it's in when they arrive, from faulty to flooded. Their work is what all contractors should aspire to.
