My experience with Inside Out was stellar from beginning to the end. Shawn was super prompt from…read morethe start. This is not usual in this market. After touring my home and discussing the project I had in mind he had a detailed multi-page proposal for me. The first bed I received from a contractor was literally an email that went something like, Kitchen: 15k, Bathroom: 10k, Garage: 15k...Not very assuring. Shawn and his team were assuring from the get go. Communication with everyone on the team from his right-hand man, Oscar, and design wiz, Sara, to the plumber and electrician were streamlined by use of an app called Slack they use. This was so useful when you are working on a mult-month job and always have a ton of little questions or concerns. I could easily just shoot it out into the app and anyone on his team could respond. I loved that. And these guys are top-notch. Oscar did some amazing things in here. When we found an unexpected load-bearing beam, he expertly engineered a huge beam across the near-length of the kitchen that allowed us to fully open up the area...without hiring an engineer (my decision). That thing was solid. Then he took my dated fireplace and lathered it in multiple layers of concrete and mortar to make what is now a piece of modern art. Sara and Shawn both have an eye for design. When I sent a photo of one of my bathrooms to a friend she told me it looked with the W. In a few areas of the house they kind of nudged me to let them have some artistic leave and I am so glad they did. My master bath is now a study in what you should do for any small bathroom space and my laundry room has added about 100+ square feet to the home and functions as a mud room. All of the contractors he works with are exceptional as well. I will always use David O from Make it Drain plumbing and Irvin with Retiz Electric. Both of these guys are masters of their trades and very friendly and reliable too. Overall, I could not recommend Shawn and his team more. It was an honor to work with these guys. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Shawn and his team handled my remodel this spring and I could not be happier!!! My house went from…read moreliterally drab and plain to a total eye catcher. I worked with Shawn on the design and he was always openminded about what I wanted to do and willing to provide suggestions or recommendations. His team of subcontractors did quality work and were respectful of me and my home. I had lots of people in and out of my house and had full trust in them. Most importantly, Shawn is an excellent communicator. He is always a text or phone call away, and would make time in his busy schedule to drop by the house and meet with me as needed. I have heard horror stories from my friends of contractors who disappear in the middle of a project or fail to respond to requests for updates or questions. I had none of these problems with Shawn. My renovation turned into a much bigger project in terms of the amount of changes that were made, but it never felt hopeless or endless, and the end result made it all worth it. I will definitely use InsideOut again for my next renovation project! Until then I'll just be living on the prettiest house on the block, thanks to Shawn.

We can't speak highly enough of A.R. Lucas and our experience working with his team on our remodel…read moreand addition. We met with a number of contractors and felt that Adam's experience and style was the best fit for our Crestview home. Adam is super responsive, patient (I was pregnant at the time and probably not the easiest client ever :), and has fantastic subcontractors--we trusted and truly enjoyed getting to know everyone that worked on the house. Whenever you tell someone you're remodeling, you typically get a gasp and a "Good luck! How long until you move back in? Plan for twice that." We were nervous. Our experience could not have been more opposite--Adam finished on time and within our budget, another shocker based feedback from everyone else in the world that's done a remodel. 5 stars would hire for our next project!

Prior to construction, we worked closely with our architect and Adam to ensure the project could be completed on budget. Throughout the project Adam provided frequent expense and progress reports. As this was our first construction project, we were filled with uneducated questions and concerns. Adam and his team were impressive, kind and patient in handling all our questions. They made us feel very comfortable coming to them with anything. Andrew was our main lead for the day-to-day and did a great job keeping all the subs moving and on track. The craftsmanship work that A.R. Lucas designed and crafted are beautiful and unique, and definitely my most favorite parts of the add-on. We were drawn to A.R. Lucas Construction for their craftsmanship, attention to detail and budget insight. Adam, Andrew and their team were a lot of fun to work with; it was a comfortable, collaborative and rewarding experience. We will most certainly reach out to them for our future projects.

This included all the trim, and a replacement of all interior doors. The price was better than 3 other estimates and they did a fantastic job! Everything was done to perfection, in a timely manner, and they made sure we were satisfied with their work before completion. The owner, Leland, and his assistant Bill, were very professional and worked long hours every day until the job was complete. He kept me notified of all progress without me having to ask, which was appreciated. We were out of the house during remodel and they did a lot of extra stuff to take care of the house in our absence, i.e trash, mail, ect. These guys can cover you in anything you need done, and were extremely trustworthy. Our house is now looking amazing and ready to sell. I would highly recommend them!!

On the restoration project, we had to go through insurance, and Morgan made the process even simpler than I could have imagined. They know how to do the job right, and they stand by their work. Morgan, Brooks, and their team are very professional and do their best to be as least disruptive as possible during the work. Most importantly, they are extremely trustworthy, and I never once felt like I was being taken advantage of on pricing or timeline, which seems like a very rare find in this industry. Honestly, by the end of it, it felt like we were working with friends. I highly recommend Mervin & Son's: 10/10, no notes. I give their name out anytime people talk about home renovation plans! Thank you, Mervin & Sons!

I have worked on many projects over the years and I will always give these guys first crack at anything I want done. They finished the job ahead of schedule which, as most of you know, is never the case with construction. The owners were on the job site almost the entire time and the subs working with them are top notch. Give these guys a shot on your next project. You won't be disappointed.

Nick has to be one of the most patient people I've ever met...he so chill but organized and responsive. Steve is such a kind and hardworking person and I appreciated his regular status updates. All of the work is itemized and documented through an online tool, so budget, timeland change orders are clear. The entire project remained on schedule even with me throwing in a few things along the way, of which they were also so incredibly patient with. What an awesome crew! We are definitely planning to work with them for future projects and I look forward to referring them to friends and colleagues.

I'm so glad we went with Matterhorn for our kitchen and floor remodel. My wife and I purchased our…read morefirst house in March and decided to update the kitchen and replace all the old tile floors in the house before moving in. Matterhorn came recommended from my wife's boss, and that put them over the edge as far as hiring them. They demoed our old kitchen, removed soffits and outfitted the kitchen for new cabinets. They demoed our old tile floor and installed the new vinyl plank flooring. Then after our cabinets and counters were installed, they assisted us with our appliance outfitting. As with any home renovation project, there are snags and problems along the way, and they worked through them with ease. I've heard so many horror stories of people having nightmare experiences with contractors during home renovation projects, but I can safely say you won't with Matterhorn. Do your research and read the reviews - and hire Matterhorn for your next project. We will be having them back to do our bathrooms here in the next year or so.
