We approached Ryan to make a walnut trestle table for our dining room, and it is freaking gorgeous. He was professional, collaborative with regards to design, and was able to stick to a reasonable schedule despite the madness of a global pandemic. I can't wait to watch our daughter slowly destroy it over the next 20 years. All hail the Prince of Planing! The sultan of Sanding! The Justiciar or Joinery!

Not only did the build out take forever (7 months), but since picking up my van on my first/second use, I have had roof leaks because they didn't install the "C" gaskets right for the AC unit, I experienced multiple leaks in the pressurized plumbing system (see pictures below) which caused wood damage to the cabinetry due to poor PEX seals, I still have no relief from the misbehaving (and Rydawell recommended) Ecoflow electrical system, I discovered they failed to insulate the sliding door, they actually plumbed the gray water lines into the BOTTOM of the gray water tank using the same penetration point as the drain (this caused water to back up into the shower pan when using the sinks (not to mention it would fail completely in freezing weather) and I discovered that the Rixen heating system was installed against manufacturer recommendations (to name just some of the issues). This has caused me thousands of dollars to get repaired (so far) at another (competent) van builder. While his hourly rate may seem cheaper, it takes him much longer to accomplish work items. As an example, his quote to install a 2nd battery (which he was supposed to have left room for) was twice as long as I was able to get it done elsewhere by professional van builders.

We wanted 2 custom projects for our home- to build a glass awning over our patio and to get outdoor…read morecustom gates built that would serve several functional requirements, as well as match the aesthetics and design of the new hardscape/landscape we were planning for the front, side and back yards in our home in Mercer Island. To find the right company to work with, we spent a good amount of time doing our research. First online, and then after shortlisting a few companies to talk with, we picked NGroupArt to work with. We had spent quite some time speaking with both Mike (project manager) as well as Elnur (architect and designer) to help them understand what we are looking for. Both Mike and Elnur worked very closely with us through the entire design process, which took quite a few iterations both because our design thought process evolved (as we were simultaneously converging on our landscape design, and the gate needed to match), as well as because our requirements and the dimensions of the driveway and the curbside (we are on a curved cul-de-sac) were tricky to make work and there were lots of design decisions that needed to be made. Elnur and Mike were absolutely amazing to work with. Rarely have we worked with a team that is so detail oriented, while being very thoughtful in their suggestions and patient through the entire process. And when the results came in! WOW! It was exactly what we had envisioned...only better! Below are some pictures that tell the story better! We have been recommending Mike and Elnur to all our friends who need gates, railings, or for that matter awnings also (see our other review for NGroupArt for the gorgeous awning they custom designed and engineered for our home).

He really takes pride in his work and the end result really showed. He was very detail-oriented which was perfect for me because I'm so picky. The end result was BEAUTIFUL! He is also an honest person and fair person and that was reflected in his pricing and how he interacts with people. My six year old would not leave him alone and he was so kind and patient with him. Instead of doing the bare minimum, he does the opposite. I felt like he went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the result. I HIGHLY recommend him as a carpenter, painter, or any type of handyman.

We had excellent communication via email and phone, he was on-time, careful throughout installation, and cleaned up better than I ever could! John's also just a nice, friendly guy to have around your house - he's very considerate and even asked me when my son napped so he could get the noisier work out of the way before nap time! He also bought my son a book so he could put something on the new shelves when they were done. Could he be any nicer? And our bookshelves are perfect!!! I would recommend John 1000%.

John was building her a TV stand and some built-ins. The table was so unique, with wood grains going in different directions on the drawers, and finishing it in several stain colors. It was a work of art. The built-ins are fabulous, and the craftsmanship is old school. John kept asking us questions, to make sure he was interpreting my sister's needs accurately. John Evans was professional, on time, and a clean worker!

One of the two steps was defective: shorter in height than the other, anti-slip grooves that were placed to match original steps were not parallel and evenly spaced. This is a common traditional design/functional feature of the tread. The bottom step lacks a full riser height and will result in a gap between that step and the patio. We knew the step was odd looking but when our landscape designer saw it, he advised us it was poorly done and needed to be redone before the landscape work could be completed. We contacted Dave explaining the problem, asking him to redo the step or refund the cost of that portion of the project. He said he would be by to demolish and redo the step. On the day of the scheduled redo, he was a no show with no message from him. My husband text messaged and called him with no response, he attempted to reach Dave several times. This man does not keep his word. This no-show ghosting is nothing new, as another reviewer indicated he had the same experience, missed appointments TNT Concrete makes with its customers. There is a history on their part as being no shows on days they have committed to work. We now are paying another contractor to have the step replaced, an extra expense we should not have if Dave had taken responsibility and replaced the step or refunded the cost. This is no way to treat customers. I do not recommend this business.
