Josh and his team are a absolute dream to work with. From start to finish you can expect a level of…read moreprofessionalism that is hard to find. He finishes on time (or early) and communicates every step of the way. His work is impeccable and all of his subcontractors exceeded my expectations. I have hired them repeatedly and have no intention of stopping. Josh and I went over a list of things that my previous contractor had convinced me were necessary, and he declared most of them were not and gave me cheaper alternatives to fixing issues. As he worked, he was able to call out things that would need fixed and give me timelines on what might happen and when so I could prioritize when to do which projects. (Don't worry previous, horrible contractor is out of business.) I am disabled and wanted my bathroom to be safe, but not to look institutional. Josh had me work on the aesthetics with Alissa, who I now call the color whisperer, and she helped me achieve something far better than my imagination could ever dream. BUT THEN... once the bathroom was framed out, Josh, Brandon, the funniest plumber on the planet, and I met in the space and they literally had me sit on the shower bench and marked the reach of my tiny t-rex arms so that every grab bar and the hand held shower head would be in easy reach and give me the SAFEST bathroom in existence. Additional special shout outs to Clint, Josh's right hand man, and Kirby, the cabinet maker who is responsible for the vanity and my beautiful built in closet.

Josh and his team at 8 Inch Nails did a major kitchen/family room remodel for us in 2016 and did a wonderful job and they did not disappoint this time. The project was a complete gut and replacement of the existing bath. His designer did a great job helping us with layout and finishes and everything turned out just the way we invisioned. Josh gave reasonable expectations on schedule and budget and followed through. He's a great communicator, always responding to e-mails, text messages, and phone calls. His subs were always easy to work with and showed up when scheduled. Our project turned out great!! We'll definitely use him on future projects.

This review is strictly for my Yelp communication with Mighty Fab when I inquired about purchasing…read morea sheet of 18-guage stainless steel or getting it cut to size if I provided the stock. Jim responded pretty much immediately with not only a thoughtful, friendly, and great explanation of what his capabilities are, but lots of suggestions of other reputable businesses to try since he couldn't quite do what I wanted. Jim continued to respond promptly and provide lots of great support and suggestions based on my responses. I particularly appreciated Jim's honesty and being so transparent and up-front about the results if he were to do the job with his equipment. Although Jim didn't have the capability to perform what I wanted, I was able to get the job done through following his recommendations. I'd definitely recommend contacting Mighty Fab if you need any metal work done, and I'll definitely keep Mighty Fab in mind for future needs.

I was having a hell of a time trying to find a metal liner for my firepit. The mass-produced…read moreliners online just didn't look great *or strong* and I couldn't find anything that was a good fit. I'm so glad I found Jim & Mighty Fab. He definitely went above and beyond for my small project. He came over for the estimate as promised and gave me a download on what he recommended for my project and we worked together on the details before landing on a final plan. He kept me updated along the build process and the liner turned out pretty sweet with a beautiful custom fit. Worth noting when comparing this custom liner vs the mass produced stuff online- Jim can create a welded one-piece unit that is structural vs. most online stuff is multiple pieces bolted together. Also, check out the seamless top lip- beautiful work! I don't think you'll find a more meticulous fabricator in town - Jim gets it done! Also, it's great to support a small business and an overall really nice guy. Thanks again for the great work Jim - very much appreciated!

We are very new to the process of doing renovations - for a long time we lived with what had been…read moredone to our house before we moved in - partly because it was in good shape, and partly because we had heard horror stories about the way things could go wrong with contractors. Finally arriving at a place in our lives to be able to do some things we've always wanted to do, I collected estimates for a bathroom remodel. Mike was the only one to come out to the house and look over the entire picture when he heard that there were some unknown plumbing issues. Another estimate was from a firm with many good reviews, but which was more of a cookie cutter approach to remodels - limited selections and clear limits on the work that they would do, versus requiring us to get other contractor assistance to complete. A third was not in a competitive position, although again, they had strong reviews. After our initial discussions, I asked for a confirmation / update to their original estimates, using a sort of modified set of use cases - describing our intended uses for the bathroom and what constituted a successful remodel from that viewpoint. Two of the three responded there - one hopeful that they would be able to meet our criteria - and Mike, who not only responded how he would deal with the specifics, but also updated the estimate to reflect the additional work to ensure our success. His flexibility and speed of answering both convinced us to go with Tortoise. We're very glad we did. For one thing, our house is almost 100 years old - lath and plaster walls and everything that goes with that. It requires a contractor with experience working with these places, and Mike has that. Mike was confident we could get what we were looking for done, and he and his team came through in a big way. Also, realizing he was dealing with newbies, he was good about providing reminders once we were on the schedule about finding our materials and getting them ordered to coincide with the scheduled start date of our project. Ultimately we got help from a designer Mike recommended - Galen - who was invaluable both as a consultant on the materials and as a translator between the timing requirements Mike and his team had, and the decisions we needed to make. We ended up adding a few small finishing touches that weren't part of the original estimate, including a significantly upgraded lighting set up, fan control and medicine cabinet, molding around the ceiling - small things that made a big difference in how the finished product looks. The holes that had to be made to address the plumbing issue were also cleaned up and we were still able to keep to the estimate, as some of the materials we chose represented savings over the original estimate. Adam was our primary lead, was consistently positive and upbeat and kept us well informed of what was going on and what to expect - and while we met Anthony, Tyler, Cam and Nate, we never had to know who was doing what or when. Everything was managed smoothly. We have other projects planned in the future - and we will be working with Tortoise again.

He was very meticulous in the way he removed and replaced each siding without damaging the good ones. In addition, Roman and his team were prompt, professional and clean.

I couldn't be more pleased with the work Brendan did converting my decrepit back-of-the-garage…read morespace into a beautiful, functional laundry/pantry/workroom. He built, replaced, and insulated walls; added doors and a window; mounted floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets; and handled all the trim and molding. Nothing was out of scope, and whenever an issue arose, we discussed it and moved forward as a creative team. He and his assistant also tackled a handful of small household jobs that had been nagging me--replacing the floor of the kitchen sink, adjusting the door to accommodate pull-out bins, and reviving a sagging garden gate I'd been quoted $3,000 to replace. As others have noted, Brendan is communicative, helpful, and upbeat. He is highly skilled and completed everything on budget. That's practically unheard of in a remodeling project. Oh, and for women homeowners: it's refreshing to work with a contractor who treats you with friendly respect and collaboration. If you have a project in mind, reach out! You'll feel lucky to have gotten on his schedule.

For example, we have a very active Malinois mix who frequently bounces off the screen door to be let in, scratching the existing Plexiglass. After considering heavy duty screening to prevent damage to the Plexiglass (vetoed because it would obstruct the view out), Roger came up with covering the existing Plexiglass with another sheet so it could be more easily replaced when we decide to sell the house. He replaced the door hinges, refinished all of the scratched wood & the screen door looks & works wonderfully. Roger is a bit OCD about the quality of his work & I'm very thankful that he is. My husband & I were both amazed at what Roger charged for the quality & amount of work he did. We will definitely be calling him when we need more work done!
