    They did a great job framing my piece.....Not sure the word "frugal" should be in the shop name. It was pricey.

    Normally, when I get dragged to a fabric or crafting store by my Wife of the 1000 Projects, it's…read moreabsolute torture. While I can't say that my visit to Asheville Cotton was the most fun I've ever had, I was just blown away by the sheer variety of fabrics they had. There are around a dozen tightly-packed aisles, each one with shelves simply jam-packed with different varieties of fabrics, all with different prints. I imagine it would be a quilter's dream. I've got no occasion to be inspecting or looking for fabric of any sort, but I still found myself ooh-ing and aah-ing at the sheer variety offered here. They also sell sewing and embroidery machines. I knew they could be expensive, but did you know that a full-featured sewing and embroidery machine for home use can run $12,000? Neither did I. The employees were very kind and helpful, and let you go about your browsing without tapping you on the shoulder every three minutes to ask if you need help finding something. Unfortunately I can't comment on the relative value of the place, as I have no frame of reference for what fabrics can or should cost. There were also a bunch of awesome quilts hanging around the place, which were part of a voting contest that we got to weigh in on as we checked out. They were taking votes for overall winner, as well as a subset of five quilts made by first-time quilters going for a type of "Rookie" award. It was a fun little way to finish up a shopping excursion I was dreading, but ended up secretly enjoying.

    They've got tons of fabric but not a lot in the way of patterns. I'm old enough to remember when…read morequilt shops had patterns to inspire you. Not so much anymore anywhere.

    I give Edwin Castro, a young man in his 20s, a minus 10, for saying he had a ton of experience…read morerefinishing decks when he was incompetent or lied to me about his professional experience. I would give him a minus 10 for ruining a lovely deck because of his lack of knowledge and deceit claiming he was a pro. When he claimed the job was through, I asked, why are there white streaks and blotches all over the entire deck and handrails? He told me, " It takes 24 hours for it to dry..." I give him a minus 50 for claiming that he stands behind his work, yet walks away with my $1200 without trying to repair the work he botched. Castro claimed, that the entire mess was my fault because I bought the wrong stain and sealer from Home Depot. Our texts prove that I purchased exactly what he told me to. Another $400 was lost on Castro's incompetence. Even if I had purchased the wrong thing, wouldn't you think he would want to return it to Home Depot and get the correct product? The guy had no clue about restaining a deck. And even less of a clue how important it is to have enough integrity to stand behind your word and work. Try to repair the mistakes you make on the job you contracted for. And never intentionally screw your client. Everyone who hires independent contractors - Take a photo of the driver's license. Never pay using cash or a cash app. Check out their contractor's license. And of course, never hire Edwin Castro. A contractor without integrity is a dangerous beast. No telling what he might screw up next time.

    We highly recommend Beyond Basic Home Improvements! Edwin shows up on time and does a great job. He…read moreis a very knowledgeable home improvement professional. He did two jobs for us and we were very pleased with the quantity of his work.
