Adrian Smith remodeled my downstairs, and I would like to give him my highest recommendation!
My experience with Adrian from day one was excellent. My primary goal was to take down two walls between my kitchen and living room. I met with another contractor who told me that I would need to install a steel beam to do so. That contractor quoted me $19,000 to purchase and install the beam, which would have also included going through an exterior wall to get the beam into the house. On top of that, the contractor told me that I needed to hire a structural engineer to draw up the plans which would have been another $4,000.
However, after reviewing the original plans and scoping the ceiling above the existing walls, Adrian determined that the walls were not structural and no beam or engineer was necessary. The walls were taken down in under a day with no unneeded damage to the exterior of my house or need for a structural engineer at all. Having this extra money in my budget allowed me to do much more than I ever set out to do.
On top of removing the walls, Adrian and his team did incredible work moving and installing plumbing and electric, installing marble countertops, cabinets, backsplash, lights and hardwood floors, as well as resurfacing walls and painting throughout the house. When he and his crew left each day, they cleaned up and kept the house livable which was particularly important to us since we were living upstairs throughout the whole process. I also want to mention that Adrian has great carpentry skills. I had a specific vanity that I wanted in my half bath that didn't quite fit. Adrian was able to modify in a way that made it fit perfectly in the space.
I think what impressed me most beyond the quality of his workmanship was Adrian's work ethic. He is honest and good natured. He was patient with me when I had trouble making decisions and his advice was always sound. He always showed up on the days and times he said he would, and his management of the process was seamless. He easily interpreted my vision and presented me with good ideas and suggestions that I had never even thought about. He was always easy to reach and very responsive to all of my emails, phone calls, and texts.
On top of all this, Adrian is just a really great person, a family man with good values. I always felt that he had my best interest at heart and that I was in good hands throughout the process.
I couldn't be happier with my remodel. I am proud to have people over and show it off. If you are looking for an honest, skilled, experienced, hardworking contractor with excellent project management skills, I encourage you to reach out to Adrian! read more
