Overall this has been a really fantastic process. We have built and rehabbed many homes, but this was the 1st time we weren't at the job daily making sure everything was going correctly. We actually stayed away a lot.
During this major rehab, not only were we not here daily, but we also allowed assistance from Cyndi, Neal's designer, which was a wonderful experience.
As far as Cyndi goes, I showed her what I wanted from all of my saved pictures, ideas of my dream kitchen in my head, and then she would go pick multiple items and I would choose from those. She did this with the flooring, counters, backsplash, cabinetry door styles, etc. Many times my vision might not have been her vision, but she went through it with me, listened and we ended up exactly where we wanted to be. I decided I would do the lighting myself because I enjoy that especially.
Not only did Cyndi make this big rehab an easy process, but she made it nice for us and she's a pleasure to work with.
I would say all of the guys did a really nice job inside, but we would be remiss if we didn't give a special shout out to Troy, who always seemed to go the extra mile and added many special touches all around. His attention to detail and his work is extraordinary. He truly understands it's the devil in the details and it's the little things that mean a lot. We feel the job would not have run nearly as smoothly if it wasn't for his overall managerial skills, his talent as a carpenter and his determination on delivering a superior product.
Obviously we also enjoyed Chuck. He would always answer any questions always tried to be helpful, and was very attentive.
Like I said, we liked all of the guys on the job, but we want to mention Ajax, who is very talented at his job, a true craftsman and also goes the extra mile.
Although the job was finished a few days late and we do feel that could've been avoided, we are still extremely thrilled with the work that Neal's did and the quality of trades that they hired. They are worth the money.
I think the most important question to ask whenever you do anything is, would you use them again? That's certainly a tell all.
Absolutely yes, we would use Neal's again. read more
