We bid to several builders , and John was the most responsive and professional by far . From start to finish he was very easy to work with, responsive, and has a foreman named Abe who is awesome . He was very transparent on things I wanted that he thought either wouldn't look great (he was right !) or would compromise other parts of the house . He even had the crew build a small house for our kids under the basement stairs which they are obsessed with . Timeline was almost spot on to what he had originally told us . I always hear of nightmares with building/builders , but truly from start to finish I had a great experience with John and would do it again.

He is a fair, honest, practical professional that also knows the market and trends well. I recommend John and team for any high quality build.

Ryan stopped out to help us with a couple different jobs but the primary was repairing our deck…read more Throughout the process he was very responsive and timely. He walked through everything he did on-site and made sure we were happy with the work and answered any questions we had. You can see the before and after here where he replaced a few rotten boards in the deck and then powerwashed, sanded, and stained. Quite the transformation. His prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend McGunn Home Improvements.

However, they ghosted after that. I never got a quote, nor did they reply to my message following up.

Left me wondering if they would disappear once work started if I had ended up moving forward with them.

Andrei's calming presence and careful coordination of all of the many moving parts involved in any home remodel project are a must-have for anyone looking to get something done properly the first time around. From day one of my bathroom remodel project, Andrei was running the show effectively and efficiently, keeping everything on track, and steering the project toward a successful conclusion. I also wanted to also give a special shout-out to Victor, who carried out the bulk of the labor on my project, and did so with excellent workmanship and attention to detail the whole way through. This is a great team, and one I would be happy to work with again.

We had an amazing experience with Speedy Gonzalez for our bathroom remodel! From start to finish,…read morethe team was professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to listen to what we wanted and offered helpful suggestions that really elevated the final design. The quality of the work is outstanding -- the tile installation is flawless, the drywall and flooring look perfect, and everything was completed on schedule. They kept the workspace clean each day and communicated clearly throughout the entire process, which gave us total peace of mind. Our bathroom looks absolutely beautiful and feels like a brand-new space. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Speedy Gonzalez to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality remodeling work. We will definitely be using them again for future projects!

They were able to replace the tile and vanity within the amount of time we requested (3 days). His estimate was very reasonable. During the process, Frank was very communicative.

The work that they did was great! Our bathroom is beautiful!

We were in London when Martins did the rennovations on our home. We didn't know exactly what we…read morewere coming back to. We opened the door . . . and walked into paradise. We felt like we were in someone else's home. Someone who had a lot more money than us! Martins isn't just a builder, or a designer. He's an artist. When you bring someone into your home to change it forever, you have to trust that person. When Martins came by for our first free consultation (something other people had charged us for), he stayed for two hours. He wanted to get to know us, and figure out exactly what kind of home we wanted. To say he cares about his work is an understatement! Other people we looked at charged us for that first visit, came in, took measurements, were out in 30 minutes, and then provided some cookie-cutter recommendations. Besides his off-the-charts talent, he is honest, flexible, responsive and easy and fun to work with... not to mention reasonable. He even provided us with guidance and recommendations to bring the overall costs down. If you're looking to do renovations on your home, that not only are beautiful, but also unique and specific to you and your family, your search is over. Martins Buka will not only deliver, but exceed your expectations!

Jim and his team at Independent Remodeling did an amazing job on our first-floor renovation,…read moreexceeding our expectations. From the start, Jim was responsive and easy to work with. He has great ideas and isn't afraid to tell you if something you want to do isn't necessarily worth the expense (which we very much appreciated). They delivered high-quality work that leveraged their knowledge and expertise to ensure our new space was functional and beautiful. Some things you look for in a general contractor and rarely find are the ability to stay close to budget and timelines, and Jim and his team did both of these! Jim does a thorough of a job putting designs/estimates together, and the only change order we had (that wasn't scope creep on our part) was for some poor electrical a previous owner did that Jim couldn't have anticipated. In addition, Jim keeps your project moving. We rarely went two days without someone at the house making progress on our project; there were no extended delays due to materials or labor issues. Jim and his team also excel at problem solving. Every project has hiccups along the way, but every issue is tackled and Jim won't stop until the solution works for you. As an example, we were having trouble matching the color of some new hardwood floors to older, existing floors in the house. He helped us put down 16 stain samples and promised we would keep trying until we got it right (and we finally did!). It was very clear our happiness was extremely important to him. If you are looking for a contractor who is honest, knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, affordable, and fun to work with, Independent Remodeling is who you should work with. It's hard to find a company you would want to use a second time, but Jim will be the first person we call for future projects in our house, and who we will recommend to friends and family if they are looking to complete a project in their home.

Shortcut everywhere- every year is a new surprise-turns out they also used a black pipe for my tub…read morefaucet. When I turned on water when remodeling was done, they actually told me the brown water that initially comes out is from the copper pipes, and I believed them! Well, years later looking at brown water, the whole faucet came off the wall. Added picture. I had to get a plumber to come in, open the wall, put an actual tub pipe in, and have someone fix the wall, plumber come back to attach faucet. He couldn't believe that Independent Remodeling didn't drive 2 min to a store to get the right pipe. They were probably behind schedule and used whatever was in the truck. The amount of things wrong with this bathroom is insane. It's great when you're done and easy to be happy because you have your house back, but if you want long term quality, do not go with this company. When doing the initial walk-through explaining what I wanted, there were no notes taken. I thought that was weird but they are professionals and I figured it's what they do. That was, until plugs ended up in the wrong spot, etc. they did something wrong while installing a very expensive showerhead and fixture, and the solution was to put gum in it which took no time to get brown with mildew. The tiles were not laid properly and are cracking. They did come back a year later to redo it, but they are the same quick job. There's something behind the tile that is not letting water flow to the showerhead, we had all new piping done with them. They also hung a giant mirror with a thin wire. They had to come back after year because it was starting to pull off the frame. They just glued it to the wall. It is now peeling from the wall and is about to fall on someone. So after just a few years I am looking for a handyman to fix all these problems which may include taking down the new tile, so I thought I would share that this probably isn't a good solution if you're looking for a long-term bathroom redo.
