I know I've been a bit quiet on the Yelp front lately, but that's because I've had a big project underway at home. Had it not been for Yelp, I wouldn't have found Jake and Bobbie. I have lived in my condo for many years and decided this was the year for some renovations. I've done very small break/fix improvements over the years, but had never done anything this large. The process overall is daunting, so you want to find someone you know you can trust and will work through the process with you. This is what I found with Jake and Bobbie. I did my research and looked at various options - deciding that Jake and Bobbie would be the right fit for my primary bath and full downstairs (including kitchen, dining, living and half bathroom) renovations. This is an investment of time on you and your contractors' parts - there are more decisions than any blog you read will lead you to believe. Jake and Bobbie allowed me to focus on the decisions in phases - and Bobbie's design with layers approach meant I could truly think through my choices and have them guide the options for the next 'layer.' Jake brings experience and know-how - and is creative at problem solving within a budget. Any project this size and scale will have items that are unpredictable; however, Jake was clear about changes and my options (including price fluctuations) throughout the process. He managed all the sub contractors directly - but did the majority of the work himself. He was on time each day with both his arrivals and departure times (I worked from home the whole project duration) and gave me a progress report at the end of each day - letting me know what to expect for the next few days. Jake and Bobbie answered my questions before, during and after the work has been complete. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others - they are focused on client service and your utmost satisfaction...so much so, that you are their primary project when work is actively underway. read more
