On October 31st, 2012, my husband and I purchased a fixer upper in the Metro-Detroit area. We had…read moreour hands full, but we managed to get half of the house fully completed by 2014. Then, disaster struck... In August 2014, the lower half of our bi-level was flooded with sewage back-up from heavy rains. The rooms that had been fully completed (Family, Kitchen & Dining Rooms) were harmed in the flood and at that point my husband and I decided to take a break from fixing up the house. To get away from it all, we planned to take a trip to relax and clear our heads to prepare for another 2 years of home repair. Right before we had left for our trip our hot water heater exploded and the bathroom upstairs started leaking.
Right at this point, we were beyond frustrated and in over our heads... we needed help. After researching and calling multiple contractors and handy-men, we finally came across a company we could trust.
Northwest Construction, a family owned business, peaked my interest due to their amazing reviews and their portfolio. Terry - Roofing & Siding, one of the owners, was the first person we had met. He was very professional and took the time to give us details about what needed to be done, and how much it would cost. His team of professionals, including Aaron - Windows, and Ron Bozzi - Bathrooms also came out to the house to talk about options and how I could stay within my budget. It was amazing that I was involved every step of the way.
So, it was clear that my whole house needed some tlc, but what needed to be done first was the leaking bathroom, roof and windows.
They first came out to remove my leaking chimney and shingle my roof. It only took them a couple of days, and it looks absolutely amazing. They used excellent quality shingles, and installed new vents. Terry's roofing and siding team got the job done and did a wonderful job.
Next, they installed Anderson windows for an excellent price. Our old windows emitted heat in the summer and cold during the winter, and it was extremely uncomfortable. It was so bad that we had to put duct tape around the edges and trash bags over the glass. So, when they installed the new ones, I was in heaven. Aaron, the window guru, was very helpful and honest, unlike Wall-Side windows who wanted to charge us an arm and a leg.
Last, and this was the BIG project, was the bathroom. I hated this bathroom. It had disgusting pea green tile from the 70s, and leaks from the shower and, eww, the toilet. My husband and I had stripped the whole bathroom including expanding it to make it larger and more comfortable for a family. Ron Bozzi, and his side-kick Chris, came to our rescue and spent time helping us choose the best options for the bathroom while sticking to the budget. We gave Ron no easy task. The bathroom needed updates from its 70s wiring to uneven studs. Ron, however, fixed it all. I love it when a contractor takes the time to fix the problem and not cover it up. There was nothing Ron couldn't handle. In the end, the bathroom looks amazing and I couldn't be happier.
Terry and his team made me very happy. I plan on hiring them for more projects in the future. They treat you like family, and respect your needs and wants for your house. I so glad I went with Northwest Construction.
