John came out within hours of being contacted, thoroughly inspected our problem (pipe replacement under the basement floor), gave me an estimate on the spot, and said he could start first thing the following morning (Friday). He said the job could take a little more than one day, but would finish on Saturday morning if needed. He and one other person finished the job on Friday, cleaned up as much as possible (they had to repour cement and couldn't do a thorough job near that area because it was still wet), and told us to call if we had any questions or had any issues (including with the repoured cement). It's been about one month and there's not a hint of any problem. The total cost was less than half of what other companies would have charged.

My only complaints - I wish they would have worn masks when coming into my house. Also, they were a little unorganized - we were given a window of 8-10am and they showed up at 1:30... and then couldn't find their tools and had to come back the following day! Not a big deal since I'm working from home but would have been frustrating in normal times.

We engaged Nicholas Womack to install our kitchen and kitchen island…read more The install was not an easy one. It's our first home. So our first kitchen. And we went in blind. Bought some cabinets from Menards and boy was it hard to install. But Nicholas was a joy to work with. He didn't rush and scrimp on quality. He made sure to take his time and ensure the cuts and measurements were correct. And he is very honest as well. What was supposed to be a 2 day install, he was upfront, and immediately told us he needed more time. Which we are glad he told us. So we extended the project for another day. Overall, happy that we worked with Nicholas. He even gave us a discount. Despite the extension.

I recently used Womack Home Improvements for a pretty big job: completely remodeling our main…read moreupstairs bathroom and building a new full bathroom from scratch in the finished basement. Nick handled the whole thing himself, and honestly, it was one of the best contractor experiences we've had. Nick's straightforward and easy to talk to--he showed up when he said he would, kept me in the loop every step, and never once tried to upsell me on stuff I didn't need. For example, when we were picking out fixtures for the upstairs bath, he pointed out a couple of more expensive options that looked flashy but wouldn't hold up as well in our hard water, then suggested solid mid-range ones that were better quality for the price. Same thing with the basement: I was worried about moisture issues down there, and he recommended adding a good exhaust fan and specific waterproofing under the tile without pushing a full waterproof membrane that would've doubled the cost unnecessarily. He just gave honest pros and cons so we could decide. The work itself is insane. In the upstairs bathroom, he tore out the old awkward layout and reconfigured it so the shower feels spacious now instead of cramped--he tiled the shower floor with these little hexagonal tiles and there's not a single uneven edge or lip anywhere--you can run your hand over it and it feels like one solid piece. He built a recessed niche that's actually deep enough for full-size bottles (most contractors make them too shallow and you're constantly knocking stuff over). Down in the basement he basically turned a blank corner into a full bath without tearing the place apart. The walk-in shower has a little built-in bench and a handheld wand he mounted exactly where I use it every day. The floor tile he picked has just enough texture that it doesn't feel like an ice rink when it's wet, but still looks clean and modern. He even threw in a moisture barrier and mold-resistant board behind the drywall even though I never asked--he just said "I always do it this way so you don't have problems later." He cleaned up meticulously after each day (no drywall dust tracked through the house), and when a small delay came up with a delayed vanity delivery, he communicated right away and adjusted the schedule without drama. Nick works completely solo, shows up every single morning at 8:00 sharp, sweeps up before he leaves, and answers his phone when you call. The guy is just rock-solid honest and genuinely nice to be around. If you need real work done right the first time and you live in the St. Louis area, call Nick. I already have him booked for the kitchen next spring. Highly recommend.

I hired Adams to install 6 foundation stabilizing piers…read more Over all I thought the crew and staff were kind and prompt. I had also used Adams months earlier for interior foundation crack repair unrelated to this piering job. I was very satisfied with that work. 1. Make sure that piers aren't relocated without approval of their foundation engineer. One of my piers was to be installed under my gas meter. The crew understandably did not want to dig there. We had the pier moved and an extra pier installed from the basement interior (behind the gas meter). An unexpected but necessary extra expense. 2. If your sewer line exists near where the piers are being installed, the Adam's crew may not expose it during their excavation. The utilities marked where the water line entered the foundation, but we only knew that the sewer line was nearby within +/- 4 feet. I paid a licensed plumber to come and locate the sewer line and moved one pier a little to make sure it did not cause any  damage. Another unexpected expense, but worth the peace of mind. 3. The building permit will probably have attached installation instructions from the piering manufacturer. They will define recommended pier spacing, foundation preparation and grouting requirements. Interesting reading for you DIY enthusiasts.

As I write this, we have been engaged in trying to get completed countertops since the install date of August 10 2023. I will detail below our experience which I hope you will read before making a decision on a countertop fabricator should you find yourself in that position. We worked with them through a designer, which has complicated our ability to get what we consider to be adequate resolution. TLDR; Metro's installer stole from our house, installed faulty product poorly and blamed it on other companies. They refused to make it right. We have waited 2.5 months to get a complete countertop job and it's not done well. Don't use them! 1. We ordered and were quoted for a particular quartz from MSI. No one from Metro came to provide samples to ensure we were getting what we ordered. Unbeknownst to us, they swapped out the material to a similar product from Daltile. 2. Templating for the countertop was smooth and professional. 3. First install day the crew shows up, no one introduces themselves. They begin to bring in their equipment and the island and hit our freshly installed cabinets with the island top without so much as an apology. They set the island incorrectly and I ask them to move it, they did once and it was still off (and crooked). I asked to have it moved again and the foreman of the crew tells the others that they "don't have time to be moving it around, they still have to install the rest, template backsplash and get to another job". At this, I drop it and figure I'll get it corrected later. The foreman does not have tools to adjust the vacuum machine for the seams so they have to borrow mine--that's ok with me. The foreman then proceeds to walk into my garage and take my tape measure. I notice it's missing because I am also doing a project, I see them using one that looks just like it so I check the camera on my garage and sure enough, I see him walk in and take it. They have borrowed one tool and while I don't like that he didn't ask, I figure he is borrowing it. They start wrapping up and I see them walk out with it, so I ask if they took it. They all deny and as a special treat I have provided the video of the foreman attempting to prove to me that he doesn't have it. I mentioned camera to one of them after I asked initially so I assume someone pointed that out and magically it's found. 4. I complain to the design company about my experience and say I don't want the thief back in my house. About a week later, when they come back to install the backsplash, I am told I will be meeting with the sales guy and the manager of the installers. They are due early and the first to arrive at my house is the thief! I had to kick this man off of my property, which is completely inexcusable. During the visit, they acknowledged the issues of the previous install and our designer points out some flaws in the surface of the island. 5. Another install crew comes to do the backsplash, this time they are great. The problem was that the backsplash was not templated well and it has multiple gaps and has to be installed off center. 6. I call and complain again, designer has me talk to them directly. I ask the sales guy to correct the gaps and replace the flawed island. He assures me it will be done and install manager comes out again to have a look. Blames it on Daltile and the cabinet installer. Leaves and then crickets. I text, no response. I finally had to call the sales guys boss who tells me she will look into it. She calls back and they have submitted a claim to daltile which was rejected. I suggest a fix for the backsplash that would not require replacing the whole thing and she asks me to send a quote. She calls me back to say the the owner will not pay to fix the backsplash and is graciously going to replace the island. 7. Installers show up with a new island and it has scratches on the surface which are clearly from fabrication. I send them back with both islands and look for a new company. 8. Today is 10/27 and we are getting an island from a different manufacturer installed by a different company. We had to choose it because no one stocks the quartz they swapped out. Great.
