Curtis and Josh Fitzgerald are friendly professionals. Unfortunately, they took almost 7 weeks to get me any numbers and when I finally did get the numbers--they were far over budget. I had to call, email, and pester them several times to get progress on the quote.
To be fair, they were in the middle of hiring a new draftsman to do the drawings, and they use a very premium cabinet line (River Run), but their estimated pricing on labor and the cabinets together was almost twice what I got from IAP Home Improvements and other contractors, and they took an extremely long time to get me a minimal amount of decisional info.
They did call me to clarify some dimensions after the fact, no problem, but they took so long to get me any numbers and even then, the quote was piecewise and hard to read. I wasted a lot of time waiting for them, and in hindsight--I should not have done so.
If this is how a contractor operates before they have my down payment when making a first impression, then I am greatly cautious about how they might delay completion, etc., after they have my money. Not a good risk to me.
For these reasons--while I really like these guys, they are super cool, and they would be great to hike and hunt with--I would not use them for a future project. I used IAP Home Improvements, who did an exceptional job on schedule, cost, and all details. read more
