After receiving bids from 3 builders to remodel our kitchen, we selected Ideal Builders. Mairtin was the only builder to offer design suggestions/modifications when our design drawings and plans exceeded our budget. He had a deep appreciation and understanding of the architectural details of our turn of the century home, and his suggestions preserved that charm while serving our modern needs.
During construction, Mairtin was easy to work with and whenever we had new ideas, he was open to discussing them and incorporating them into the project. In one instance, when the entrance into the kitchen was finished to spec (framed and drywall), it felt too wide and too low. I was reluctant to raise this with Mairtin because it would have meant reframing the entrance and remudding the drywall. Nevertheless, when I couldn't stand it and I asked him about redoing the entrance, he didn't hesitate to say yes. He just wanted me to be happy. Indeed, his mantra is, "Don't worry, we'll make it work."
Our remodel project included adding a new powder room to the kitchen and building new stairs and landings from the dining room to the garden. There were a lot of moving parts, from concrete work and steel railings to rebuilding crown molding and matching wood stain. Mairtin supervised plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, and welders. Through it all, we had NO change orders, and the project came in on budget.
We are very pleased with the quality of the work, and we've received glowing compliments from everyone who visits our home. We highly recommend Ideal Builders for your project. read more
