Hey my last post was taken down. It goes to show that if you tell the truth, it will scare this…read moreguy. So hey, do not go through this company like I did. They will rip you off and not do any work. And then when you take em to small claims they won't pay. Cuz someone is broke and not paying their insurance premiums. I don't know how the truth I spoke on here got taken down but I bet it's because it hit too close to home. Again, use ANY other company unless you want to be swindled out of a crap load of money!!! Wonder why there's only good reviews? The owner flags em so people think this is a good company. It's not. Wish I hadn't gotten mixed up with this place.

Zack and the team at LVL are simply amazing. Our job was extensive- most outfits would say to…read moreextensive. Well the crew from LVL has had our house for two and a half months - it was a transformation from the basement to the roof. It is beautiful. The attention to detail, the quality of the work- it is unbeatable. They put in a new French drain system and properly sealed the entire basement, creating additional living space for our teen girls.They replaced all the uneven floors and made the entire home not only much more functional- but breathtakingly gorgeous. The problem is then the left the house unfinished, never completing it. Six months later- their electrical work caused a house fire. Repeated attempts to rectify the issues failed until the owner of LaVillaLux just stopped talking to us altogether. Not the best way to do business. Really sad at the outcome.

Regis and his team at Master Remodelers did two extensive projects for us. When I first contacted…read morethem, I was unprepared for their requirement of payment for a project proposal. Their comprehensive in-house design and build approach was unlike that of other contractors, and their cooperative communication was instrumental in developing and meeting our expectations. They made understanding us and our house equal priorities. They educated us about the condition of the house, brought in an engineer, and designed projects around improving and reinforcing the house. They found and corrected issues created by the house's original builder. They work well coordinating their work with other contractors. With one exception, there were no call-backs. A minor installation error discovered years later was cheerfully and promptly fixed as a warranty item, a reflection on their commitment to their clients. When it came time to sell the house, the quality of their work was a strong draw for the buyers. It drew a crowd. They exemplify how a great team can accomplish great results!

I just wanted to update my review to reflect the fact that I have been harassed by this company…read moreconstantly over the past two months for writing this review. They originally reached out to me asking to take it down. When I refused to do so because I believe that my review reflects my family's experience, the messages kept on coming. At first, she said I shouldn't leave a bad review because I have never dealt with a death in my family (not true & not sure how that is relevant). Then she accused me of writing my review to punish the company and for no other reason. My response was: "Let's be VERY clear here. I'm not "punishing your company". I'm leaving a review of our experience on a site that is meant to leave reviews of people's experiences with different companies. If all owners tried to bully patrons into only leaving good reviews on Yelp... well there would no longer be a Yelp. I'm leaving honest feedback on how it felt to deal with your company. I'm sorry that you don't agree with our assessment, but it's truly how it felt. I'm very glad that we parted ways when we did so that we could work with someone that was much more pleasant to deal with." And she responded back with: "And you reaffirmed ours that "you're not our customer." Because our customers have class." I just wanted everyone to know how this company operates behind the scenes...

CandS Home Improvements…read more Steve Witchko, CandS's Principal, has worked on several projects at our home. Some have been important, albeit minor in terms of his considerable expertise, while others have been more challenging and required one of his associates to work with him. Steve consistently organized the right staffing for each project. . In all the listed projects Steve has clearly understood what I have asked that he do; he has, on occasion, provided advice and suggested associated improvements. He has been very prompt and always polite, and clear about unanticipated problems and their solutions. He always leaves the area in which he's working clean. His associates share these qualities, as well. The estimates of the work he has done have been clear. His prices have been fair based on my comparing his estimates with those of other contractors. I am comfortable calling Steve whenever there is a problem around the house that he might consider doing or referring me to someone else that might be available in his place or has expertise or experience that he doesn't. If Steve says your project, like the ones he's done for me, is one on which he will work, you can depend on him to do so, keep you informed as unanticipated problems arise, and finish on time and on budget. Here is a brief summary of some key projects that he has done for me. * Installed ceramic tiling on the floors of our family room and former kitchen; replaced a kitchen sink's faucet and garbage disposal and made cabinet hinge adjustments; painted the interior walls of our family room, former kitchen, powder room, and second floor hallway; and installed a laminated wood floor in our guest bedroom. * Cut and installed customized banisters for use by mobility impaired people along basement and first floor stairs as well as grab bars in several strategic locations. The connections to the walls had to be and are very strong. * Currently doing exterior carpentry work to replace water and weather damaged sections of our home's façade prior to painting.

Extremely impressed by John and the folks at J Francis. We were looking for a complete renovation…read moreof our house as we head into retirement. Since this is going to be our "forever home", I had some very specific items I wanted included. From our very first meeting, John took the time to listen to my ideas and concerns, and shape them into a "do-able" project. He also was prepared to give us a ballpark estimate of how much our work would run, which was extremely helpful in managing our expectations. We have completed the planning phase, and are ready to dive into the project in a few weeks. Despite the fact that I have been working out of town for much of the past year, the staff has never missed a beat, providing me with numerous e-mails, texts, and Hangouts to ensure I was a part of the planning process and constantly kept part of the proc. There was never a time when I felt "out of the loop", even though we worked long distance for much of the time. A renovation project of this size can be intimidating. But the professionals at J Francis have made us feel at ease throughout every step of the planning process. I would wholeheartedly recommend J Francis for any renovation project you may be planning. UPDATE: The renovation is complete...and looks fantastic! Hats off to Kortney and Dave, who were in constant communication with us throughout the project. As usual with a project of this magnitude, there were a few "surprises" that popped up (not their fault), but they were on top of everything and kept the project on schedule. We couldn't be happier with the results. I would give them our highest recommendation for any renovation project you might have in mind!

Fantastic service, John was upfront, transparent, and accurate with his quoting. Arrived on time,…read moreand finished in short order, totally cleaned our sectional and ottoman. The ottoman had a horrific cat puke stain (wet food salmon, sat for 7-8 hours before we noticed) that we tried to remove, but only made things worse. Thought we might have ruined the ottoman for good, but Eco King made it look brand new, very impressed. Also impressed that there wasn't any harsh chemicals being used, no smell, and when John was leaving, I mentioned that I accidentally stained my car seat with coffee. He took out a spray bottle and cleaned that too, looks brand new again. Amazing, totally worth the price. Will definitely use their services again.

This got really weird really fast after I posted this review…read more John called me the next day, having figured out who I was - to complain about the "bad" review I had written. I had actually given him 4 stars because of the quality of the work, deducting one because of the hose length situation. I don't know on which planet a 4 star review is a bad one, but yeah. He was *really* upset, claiming that nothing I had said about the hose situation ever happened because the bulk of his business was actually apartment buildings and hotels, so *of course* he had had plenty of hose. He denied asking to go through a window - and among a couple of other strange claims, he actually tried to tell me that *I* had told him to stop cleaning my hallway halfway back! Seriously?? We went back and forth, and the upshot was I asked him to come back. I was disappointed that his first available appointment wasn't for a week or so, and then he said h

I had been searching for the right person to overhaul our kitchen (painting cabinets, painting…read morewalls and backsplash), for many months. I received many quotes and eventually chose Derek bc of what I saw on his FB page, his responsiveness, and fair pricing. I was *not* disappointed. Derek is a true professional. He came through on everything he said he would do, he is extremely detail oriented, VERY efficient (finished everything in 4 days!), and he has a crew of guys who were all friendly and receptive to any feedback. Two hinges arrived a few days late and he came back to apply those himself - something we told him he didn't have to do. It is a true reflection of his professionalism. We will absolutely use him again in the future and would recommend him to friends, family and strangers alike!
