When we bought our home, the first thing I said, was I wanted to remove that wall and that wall - the two walls dividing the kitchen from the living room and the dining room. It took 12 years but we finally we ready to start the project. We reviewed and interviewed multiple companies. Ultimately we landed with Purple Construction. Their up front pricing that clearly indicated everything that was included was a huge selling point. Immediately after they left that first day, we agreed they would be the company we would go with. But we still had other companies to interview (just in case). Nobody came close to what Purple had to offer. And that was just the beginning.
When we signed the contract Francisco and Gio came over, explained everything to us and provided us with an approximate timeframe. ***For full disclosure, they anticipated being done by Thanksgiving, it was actually closer to Christmas. Which, with almost any major construction project, delays are to be expected. There are too many variables to be able to provide an exact completion date. We knew this going in to the project, so we were fine with the extended timeframe.***
Additionally, we did not move out of the house during this project and we have a family of 3 children (all girls), 2 dogs and 2 cats. We needed to make sure that our family was protected and still able to feel comfortable in their own home. Every single person they had in/out our house was respectful, kind and mindful of our household. Early on I was very protective of my daughters, but as we worked with Francisco and Purple Construction, I knew that I did not need to worry. I would often look forward to coming home from working and seeing what work was accomplished that day, but also to see who was working in our home that day. There were many nights that we would talk and chat and listen to the stories of those in our home that day.
Throughout the project, there was constant communication about where we were at, what the next steps were, etc. There was also a lot of collaboration regarding the design, colors, flooring, molding, etc. We had previously added on to our house (not through Purple unfortunately) and there was minimal collaboration. This was a very nice change. At one point in the project, I was getting concerned about the cost of things (because I like pretty and shiny and our house really does need a lot of work). Francisco and Gio got on a call with us and went over everything that we had already covered/done and what would be needed. They shared what they thought would be most beneficial to our house and the project (and ultimately our family in the long run) while still keeping us within budget.
When the project came to end it was bittersweet. The end result was beyond anything that we could have predicted and desired. We went from 3 rooms, to a single great room. Hector and his amazing craftsmanship gave us beautiful custom cabinets and a large island that is the focal point of the room for family and friends to gather. But we knew that the daily check-ins from Francisco and having the staff in our home would come to an end. They really did become family. We have a few other projects in our home that need to be done and when we are ready to do those we will definitely use Purple Construction.
We have referred them to family and friends and will continue to do so. The heart and hustle of this group cannot be matched. read more
