However, they ghosted after that. I never got a quote, nor did they reply to my message following up.

Left me wondering if they would disappear once work started if I had ended up moving forward with them.

Andrei's calming presence and careful coordination of all of the many moving parts involved in any home remodel project are a must-have for anyone looking to get something done properly the first time around. From day one of my bathroom remodel project, Andrei was running the show effectively and efficiently, keeping everything on track, and steering the project toward a successful conclusion. I also wanted to also give a special shout-out to Victor, who carried out the bulk of the labor on my project, and did so with excellent workmanship and attention to detail the whole way through. This is a great team, and one I would be happy to work with again.

His process was straightforward and showcased his 25+ years of experience in building and remodeling. Eric guided us in researching and selecting the trim and other items we wanted to replace or upgrade while he managed all aspects of the project. The scheduling was smooth and efficient, and both he and his subcontractors worked incredibly hard. Eric is truly an expert in home construction and remodeling, and we highly recommend Eric Honea Construction.

We liked his work so much that we asked him to rehab the additional apartment in the building that we were going to rent out. He brought the shabby old apartment into the 21st century and we were able to rent it out almost immediately! He did not add on any additional charges and worked with us to stay under budget. If there was any change in the project or unforeseen repairs he consulted us and assured us he would try to stay under budget and he did! He did all the light fixtures, painted the entire apartment, re-grouted the two bathrooms, updated the closets, installed a couple of new appliances all by himself and on time! I don't think it gets better than this. Headache free and totally worth the money.

They gave great suggestions and showed me past work they have completed to help guide my selections. Their employees were knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, courteous, and professional. The entire project took 5 weeks as it was a major rehab and they delivered the project on time and on budget. I would highly recommend working with them again and will use them again for new windows and doors and a fireplace redo down the road. The project was a bathroom overhaul, new kitchen (appliances, cabinets, granite, lighting), bedroom and flooring. They completely transformed a dark, dated space into a more functional and beautiful unit. I can't believe it is the same unit! If you are considering a project use Hogan Design. They made the process easy, quick and delivered an amazing finished project. A+++

Falling behind on this, I was pushing late Nov to get new insulation installed and panicking as temps dropped daily.

Jim and his team at Independent Remodeling did an amazing job on our first-floor renovation,…read moreexceeding our expectations. From the start, Jim was responsive and easy to work with. He has great ideas and isn't afraid to tell you if something you want to do isn't necessarily worth the expense (which we very much appreciated). They delivered high-quality work that leveraged their knowledge and expertise to ensure our new space was functional and beautiful. Some things you look for in a general contractor and rarely find are the ability to stay close to budget and timelines, and Jim and his team did both of these! Jim does a thorough of a job putting designs/estimates together, and the only change order we had (that wasn't scope creep on our part) was for some poor electrical a previous owner did that Jim couldn't have anticipated. In addition, Jim keeps your project moving. We rarely went two days without someone at the house making progress on our project; there were no extended delays due to materials or labor issues. Jim and his team also excel at problem solving. Every project has hiccups along the way, but every issue is tackled and Jim won't stop until the solution works for you. As an example, we were having trouble matching the color of some new hardwood floors to older, existing floors in the house. He helped us put down 16 stain samples and promised we would keep trying until we got it right (and we finally did!). It was very clear our happiness was extremely important to him. If you are looking for a contractor who is honest, knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, affordable, and fun to work with, Independent Remodeling is who you should work with. It's hard to find a company you would want to use a second time, but Jim will be the first person we call for future projects in our house, and who we will recommend to friends and family if they are looking to complete a project in their home.

When I turned on water when remodeling was done, they actually told me the brown water that initially comes out is from the copper pipes, and I believed them! Well, years later looking at brown water, the whole faucet came off the wall. Added picture. I had to get a plumber to come in, open the wall, put an actual tub pipe in, and have someone fix the wall, plumber come back to attach faucet. He couldn't believe that Independent Remodeling didn't drive 2 min to a store to get the right pipe. They were probably behind schedule and used whatever was in the truck. The amount of things wrong with this bathroom is insane. It's great when you're done and easy to be happy because you have your house back, but if you want long term quality, do not go with this company. When doing the initial walk-through explaining what I wanted, there were no notes taken. I thought that was weird but they are professionals and I figured it's what they do. That was, until plugs ended up in the wrong spot, etc. they did something wrong while installing a very expensive showerhead and fixture, and the solution was to put gum in it which took no time to get brown with mildew. The tiles were not laid properly and are cracking. They did come back a year later to redo it, but they are the same quick job. There's something behind the tile that is not letting water flow to the showerhead, we had all new piping done with them. They also hung a giant mirror with a thin wire. They had to come back after year because it was starting to pull off the frame. They just glued it to the wall. It is now peeling from the wall and is about to fall on someone. So after just a few years I am looking for a handyman to fix all these problems which may include taking down the new tile, so I thought I would share that this probably isn't a good solution if you're looking for a long-term bathroom redo.
