Karen at the Bath and Kitchen showroom was an absolute dream to work with. Time and time again she…read morewent over and above what was required of her, making my kitchen and bath remodel a seamless project. To complicate things, I live out of state and was remodeling two bathrooms and a kitchen, and they were complete gut-jobs. She was calm, professional and helpful every step of the way, and her expertise and guidance were invaluable. She has a great sense of style and helped me choose countertops my husband and I love! I can't recommend her enough. She will make your very stressful renovation a 'walk in the park.'

We worked with Karen and she was extremely helpful. Unfortunately she was not with the company for…read morethe entire duration of our kitchen remodel. By the time we installed our cabinets, she had left the company. Her replacements were not as helpful as she had been. We chose slow-close upper cabinets, including corner cabinets. When they arrived we noticed we only had slow-close hinges for one of our corner cabinets (we ordered two). When we contacted them for another set of slow-close hardware, they claimed corner cabinets do not come with the slow-close option. That didn't make sense considering we already had one slow-close corner cabinet installed. After a month of dealing with them, we were finally sent the correct hardware for the second corner cabinet, but it arrived looking dingy and used. That's when we were told that the warehouse they used doesn't actually keep those cabinets in stock and basically told we should feel lucky for the hardware we did receive. We cleaned it up a bit and since it's on the inside, it's not noticeable, but we definitely won't use this company again. We wish we still had Karen's contact information because we are getting ready to tackle the remodel of two bathrooms.

Worked with Patrick on a remodel job in Antioch. Gave him the price for the repair, he agreed and…read morewe did the work. All was fine until he decided not to pay the invoice. This has been going on for over 5 months. When he did accept a phone call he said he was in a bit of a bind and would make an effort to get the bill paid.

Patrick and Chris were recommended to us by Rob (owner of High Caliber Electric), as we need some…read morecarpentry work done on a house that we had just purchased. The scope of the project grew as we realized that we needed more things done in the house before we could move in, which included: installing several interior and exterior doors, removing and reinstalling a built-in set of drawers, installing and fixing flooring, removing a built-in wet bar in the basement, doing some work in a bathroom so we could put in a new vanity and bathtub, removing a wall between two rooms so one could be turned into a walk-in closet, making a small alcove into a closet, stripping down a door to be refinished, making shelf supports for our long pantry shelves so they don't bow from the weight, and helping fix a basement leak that was due to the prior owner not properly fastening his deck to the foundation. I am sure there some things I am forgetting, but the bottom line is that Patrick and Chris were always up to doing what we needed done. They were on time, professional, friendly and easy to work with. Patrick was great about providing quotes for all of the work, and had very reasonable prices. In addition, when I needed a contractor for something that he couldn't do, he knew someone in the area he could recommend, and those recommendations (of which there were several for: roofing, plumbing and tile work) worked out great. My wife and I appreciate the great work that Patrick and Chris did, and would highly recommend them for any type of construction project - whether it's big or small.

DreamMaker of Southern Lakes is fantastic. A++. We wanted to remodel a bathroom. The entire…read moreprocess was painless. We worked with Mary on our design. Once that was completed and agreed to, we worked with Andrew, the installer. These two are beyond professional. Andrew would show up each day at the agreed upon time. Not early, not late...exactly on time. He was polite and very neat. This was a bathroom on the second floor and there was no mess anywhere. Floors were covered. Carpet was protected. Work proceeded quickly. After the first day, Mary followed up to make sure there were no issues that we were concerned about. She did the follow-up a few more times over our project just to make sure we were happy. When necessary, other DreamMaker employees would help Andrew with the heavier objects. Riley and Jay were very nice, personable and professional. Their plumbing sub was again very good and he did some upgrades to make sure our plumbing was protected from freezing. No extra charge...they just make sure everything is done right. We are so happy with how the process went that we are working with Mary on remodeling our kitchen. The biggest positive with DreamMaker is they do 90+% of the work with their own employees, so we did not have to deal with a bunch of different subs. No tiling sub. No electrical sub. No painting sub. That makes the whole process very easy and smooth! Jack & Gayle G Burlington

I am NOT RECOMMENDING DrSawdust…read more. Please see below for the email I sent to this business and the attached screenshots... Drsawdust, We had a contract for which you charged me 19k for the work in my basement. The work was not done right and I reported to you via text (March 24) & email (April 4) with evidence from pictures showing the issues, and you promised to return this morning April 8 to repair and complete the work. However, you pretty much came this morning to harass me in my home - when I was showing you the issues with your work in the basement and you (especially Frank) kept saying you did "free work" for me and continued yelling after I asked you to stop saying that since I paid you in full for the agreed contract you provided for the work. Your behavior in my home this morning was very rude and disrespectful, and good thing I have it all on my home video cameras. At this point, I am demanding you return to complete the unfinished painting, drywall, and other work in my basement you were fully paid for - and without Frank this time, because i don't feel safe having Frank coming around my house disrespecting and harassing me. Otherwise, as stated on my previous email I will escalation this issue not limited to but including disputing those charges with my credit card companies for the uncompleted work, and will publish my negative experience on reviews of your business online via various social media platforms. And you have 24 hours to let me know what you want to do, that is which option you prefer, before I take any action(s). Very Respectfully Dr. Ogbomeh
