I had seen a retractable deck cover with a permanent frame at the home and garden show. I had…read morereached out to the local rep asking for information and she sent me a link to an online catalog. Long story short, she was NOT helpful in any way - merely an order taker. I couldn't make heads or tail of their website - but I knew exactly what I wanted. I looked elsewhere for a vendor to no avail. Even if I had ordered with the online company, I would have had to install myself or find an installer. So I turned to Yelp . . . I have had MUCH success with Yelp finding excellent service and skilled providers. I entered the details of what I wanted and submitted the project for response. I got maybe 4 companies contacting me - one being Eric Call Contracting. This company asked to schedule some time to talk - and so we did. All the other responses merely asked if I HAD the deck covering as they just wanted to install it. None would entertain the idea of helping me source the deck cover. Eric and Angie showed up when they said they would and we began to talk. I explained what I wanted, showed the brochure from the home and garden show, showed them our deck - and they went to work. Eric tried to work with the awning company I had wanted to buy from - but he got nowhere despite being more persistent than me. Eric still understood what I wanted - a permanent frame that would attach to and extend up from the deck with canvas runners that we would open and pull shut and remove in the winter. We would also be able to replace the runners should they get damaged. Eric drew up a design and shared it with me - along with possible runners he found on Amazon. We had a lot of back and forth and they were great keeping in touch. I finally decided to go with them despite having no other bids for comparison. Clearly no one else wanted to do the work needed to get me the deck covering I wanted. I signed on the dotted line and cut a check to get the project started. Again, Eric and Angie did a great job of communicating with me and providing updates. Although working through Yelp does provide some financial protection, I was still nervous going with the first company I contacted. But they definitely earned my trust - the materials showed as promised. And work began as promised, and before I knew it, my vision of a deck covering had materialized! Our deck is on the back/south side of the house. There are no trees or shading so we fight to keep the house cool on sunny days. We had recently replaced a large, rust painted deck with a smaller light treated wood deck. Now with this covering, we are already enjoying not having to turn on the A/C as much, leaving the back door open for a breeze, and actually being able to sit on our deck when the sun is hot. We've also been able to pull the runners closed when a windy storm hit. And in the winter, I'll take the runners down to protect them and allow full sun in the cold temperatures. I cannot say enough about how I appreciated the work this company did. I highly recommend you contact them when you have a project.

They were accepting, even encouraging, of evolving the project and change orders along the way. They arranged for the trades to additional small changes beyond the project while those trades were in our house.

I recommend ECC without hesitation.

While the team finished on schedule, the final result revealed some craftsmanship challenges. The project's core functionality meets our expectations. However, in our opinion, certain details fall short of what we would consider more commonly-used construction practices. Key observations follow. 1. The deck planks on the landing are installed parallel to the support joists. This necessitated the addition of blocking between the joists. The blocking was added after the deck planks were secured to the landing frame. In addition, the decking appears to be fastened only to the landing's frame, without direct attachment to the joists or blocking. 2. The newly-constructed landing appears to have been designed without sufficient attention to detail, in our opinion. The shape of the landing necessitated the placement of an additional railing post adjacent to an existing post on the landing to properly secure the bottom section staircase railing. 3. The two new posts on the new landing are slightly different in size than the original posts, and their caps do not match the existing post caps. The contractor mentioned these items to us after they were already installed on the stairway, and he told us that they would not affect functionality. With attention to the observations above, this would easily be a five star project.

They ran into an issue with the floor being significantly out of level, but quickly adapted and got it flat before moving forward. Their team even upgraded our flooring from LVP to tile to ensure long-term durability, which we really appreciated. While we were involved in the design process, the Proper Renovations team helped bring everything together with their expertise, making smart recommendations along the way. Their communication, design support, and work ethic kept the project on schedule and on point. They also went the extra mile by fixing cracking drywall in the garage--something that could have become a red flag during inspection when it's time to sell. Overall, 10/10--we highly recommend Proper Renovations!

We love our new kitchen! Jianshen's team was recommended by a friend and when he arrived to talk…read morethrough options we immediately felt like we were in great hands compared to the others we had talked to. He was patient and explained all of our options in detail to help us make the best decision, rather than guessing what we want. This helped us to find the right balance of value, saving money, and spending more on customizations only where we needed it. Everything moved quickly once we started and they stayed very close to the predicted schedule. Sometimes our house had unwanted surprises for them, and they were able to re-route pipes and electrical or modify the cabinet sizing on-site to make everything work in our space. When they made mistakes they were quick to take responsibility and fix it before proceeding. We've heard so many other horror stories from friends doing remodeling and we were lucky to find Cai Cabinetry. Jianshen takes ownership for his team's work and will personally fix anything until you think it's perfect. If he doesn't know how, he finds someone who does. Watch our before & after video below to see the results! P.S. They have a new showroom near downtown now, which is easier to get to for a meeting and looking at options.

From start to finish, Jianshen and team exceeded our expectations. First, we received multiple 3D renderings reflecting possible configurations. Then we were able to go back and forth with the team to customize as needed. Our space is a bit weird (uneven walls and floors, small space, awkward location of pipes and windows). This project required incredible attention to detail, and Jianshen and team delivered it, visiting our house multiple times to make sure the measurements were right. When it came time for installation, his team was highly skilled and able to make on-the-spot customizations with us to make everything fit perfectly and exactly how we had wanted it. I think what I really want to convey here is not only the fact that the work was done at the highest level of quality and attention to detail, but it was also a pleasure to work with Jianshen and team. Jianshen has a positive, can-do attitude. If you have a unique idea, you can bring it to him and he will likely find a way (and also give you all the details on what the solution will entail). For example, we wanted to restore our 1890s butler pantry - he figured out how to restore some of the original fittings so that the 125+ year old things work like new. We had done a lot of research and consulted multiple experts on this - only Jianshen figured out how to make it work! Jianshen is also incredibly knowledgeable about renovations in general, and we have asked his advice on multiple things beyond cabinets. He is very responsive in communication and hard working. It's hard to find a contractor like that. We would definitely work with him again, and would recommend him to anyone in the area looking to do some remodeling.

From the first time we met with Mark Kresge to hash out a kitchen design to the last day that Andy (project manager) came by to tweak an outlet, we were exceedingly pleased with this company. Mark was always helpful in getting us what we wanted without sacrificing budget and functionality. His design for our home and advice along the way was extraordinary. Andy, who was in our home day in and day out, was the consummate professional. Our "female only" home felt completely at ease with him, and he was the epitome of professionalism. If we ever do a project again, which we certainly will, we will demand that Andy leads the project. It was so refreshing to be able to relax and know that "Andy will handle it." My wife and I are busy professionals. We felt complete secure in allowing Andy to handle the subcontractors and little decisions that needed to be made along the way. Any time we decided to add something else onto the project, Andy's only response was "not a problem." And it truly wasn't. I really can't recommend this company enough. We will always go to them first with any project we desire.
