After finding out we currently only have a small project, Darlene never once got up or even fully turned her body away from the computer. Our master shower floor needs to be replaced. Darlene kept trying to dissuade us from any projects, first siting the cost. We explained while we didn't want to necessarily embark on a project at the moment, it wasn't something we could ignore. She then said it would be impossible for us to get a contractor; we already have one. Then she told us we were essentially wasting our time if we didn't have a piece of the wall tiling to bring in for comparison. She did start to become slightly more helpful as we were asking about the different options in material, but still we couldn't shake the feeling she was being dismissive of us. My husband and I are young and definitely new to this process but we are blessed to both be doctors and have the resources to update all our bathrooms, however due to this unpleasant experience we won't be spending any money at this store.

Recently reached out to Darlene at A Step in Stone for a bathroom remodeling project. We started…read morewith a vanity that we bought because we got a great deal for them. We just took one of the vanity drawers to Darlene and asked her to help with the bathroom and shower design. She patiently suggested options and went back and forth with multiple ideas. Also provided us guidance on what wall color would go best with her suggested tiling design. The result turned out to be fabulous. Would go back to her in a heartbeat for our next tiling project. Very creative, helpful, flexible and really friendly. Pictures speak for themselves!

After living in Hopewell for close to 30 years, my wife and I became keenly aware of the fact that…read morethere was extensive exterior repairs required to our home. We recognized the importance of working with a building company that would be able to inspect and diagnose issues related to our cedar shake exterior, trim and fascia, roofing, and painting. After exploring several construction and restoration companies, we decided to go with Baxter Construction given their reputation for top notch, project management and a wide range of expertise in many of the skill sets we would require. We were very impressed with their project management from beginning to end of what turned out to become a 6 month project. In working with Baxter, we were additionally comforted by the dedicated staff carpenters that had been with the company for many years. As the weeks and months progressed, Baxter were able to diagnose problems and perform remediations responsibly. We were kept up to date with frequent progress reports from the project manager, and grew to admire the carpenters who explained the details to us along the way. Given the need for carpentry, roofing and painting, Baxter was able to coordinate the process efficiently. This was a challenge given the numerous Covid related supply chain issues we ware experiencing. In short, we are extremely happy that we went with Baxter and would highly recommend them.

They prepped and painted two rooms, including the baseboards, trim and ceiling. They replaced and painted a set of closet doors and replaced the rickety attic stairs. They also fix the bedroom door where it is now fully functional. The work took two days, but they transformed the two bedrooms. The crew was polite and professional. They worked quickly, quietly and with skill. I could not have asked for better. Mr. Grubb was very responsive to emails and quick to address all our concerns. Thank you for the good work.

Unlike other workers we've dealt with, he arrived when he said he would and completed the job within the timeframe he initially estimated.

We recently had Maurice replace our entire roof and also fix a leak surrounding our chimney which…read morepotentially has caused much wood rot on one side of our entire home. Maurice was the only contractor who was very responsive and came by to give us an estimate. His pricing was very competitive but his customer service was incredible. Maurice and his crew went above and beyond to complete the roofing in one day on our 2,400 sq foot home and worked on a Sunday to complete the chimney leak issue to avoid further damage to our interior wall. Maurice contacted us prior to each visit, explained his work thoroughly, and took such pride and passion in his work. We will refer his company to everyone and we will be using him for all of our homes needs/repairs, from decking, painting, renovations, etc. He is the company you can trust and feel confident that he will go above and beyond to make everything be perfect. Thank you, Maurice and Team!!!

The best decision we made when building our home? Hiring Spyglass Design and working with Bill and…read moreJason. From the first meeting, Bill took time to learn about us, our needs and our aesthetic. He worked with us to create a gorgeous and functional space, and was sensitive to our budget and timeline. I am an avid home cook and baker and love to entertain. He designed a long counter space which invited guests to sit with me while I cooked and prepped, but kept everyone out from underfoot! The first time I had people over, and was holding court alone in my kitchen with everyone hanging on the other side of the counter... it was a beautiful thing. He even incorporated shelves into the design to display my collection of cookbooks and cooking antiques. The kitchen is the star feature of my living space. We also had the pleasure of working with Jason. He is incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. All of the vendors Bill recommended were excellent. They did quality work and were extremely professional. We moved into our house at the end of 2016, and I have been cooking and baking up a storm ever since. I never want to leave this kitchen behind, but if I have to, you can bet I will be calling Spyglass Design to build the next one.

I placed the request through Yelp and got a response right away. Juan scheduled the initial visit promptly and we received the proposal quickly. The bid was within the range we expected and they proposed replacing our gutters which was something we hadn't requested. The gutters were the item that tipped us to choosing this group. We were delighted with the speed with which the job was scheduled. The weather caused a slight delay but they finished quickly and left no mess behind! I liked that we were kept informed on the progress; we regularly received photos and communications especially when sections of the roof were found to be in rough shape. Very pleased with the roof and front porch. Highly recommend
