We had Kring's handle two major, important upgrades to our home, one of which was a very tricked out installation of a heavy sliding glass shower and completely retiled shower area (required bathtub removal, old tile removal, etc) that hit the five figure level, not surprising for the amount of work required. The other was the removal and recarpeting of our stairs in a 100 yr. + old house that had a landing half way and reverses directions.
How'd they do? We're working with them to have Caesarstone kitchen countertops installed which will require removal of concrete countertops we've had maybe 15-18 years that just didn't quite work out as well as hoped. So, yes, another vote with our wallet. This won't be inexpensive, but that's not what we're looking for. We're looking for fantastic quality and improvement of an important living space we use multiple times daily.
The shower is a magnificent bit of work, one I'd argue improved the value of our home, assuming we ever move. I don't. It's luxurious, and I never fail to enjoy and marvel at the work after quite a number of years past its completion. It's the kind of improvement where you're happy every time you use it that you undertook the time and expense. Going from the typical tub with plastic curtains to this, the difference between blah and luxury.
The stairs recarpeting was a much smaller project but was also a significant improvement. And although old wood floors squeak in old houses (we know how to stop that, but it's work), the recarpeting and padding they added made the stairs almost completely quiet and free of that noise. Two thumbs up for that.
As with many firms, they may employ subcontractors, and my recommendation is you shouldn't automatically assume you can stand back and do nothing. We had a minor issue on our shower with one during installation. Kring's stepped in after we pointed to a concern and they saw it completed to our total satisfaction.
Their showroom has tons of samples and more, and an individual assigned to your project, of course. We're looking forward to this new work with them and can't recommend them highly enough. read more
