Brian was very easy to communicate with and took care of ordering all of the supplies. They came by the following week and completed the install as scheduled. They were very tidy using drop cloths on the carpet and cleaned up after themselves; unlike a lot of handymen/ contractors. Our staircase not only looks better, but is as solid as a rock and not all wobbly like it was before. The price was fair and I would highly recommend using them for staircase work or any other carpentry projects, such as molding or built-in's. I have uploaded a before and after pic to this review.

Well fast forward almost a year later and now there is a baby in the house that is ready to move. In my childproofing quest, I told my husband that now is the time to get the stair handrail fixed. He found The Finishing Company. We advised Brian why rods we would like and that our stairwell was loose. Brian said no problem. We got our stair handrail fixed and new rods added in less than five hours. It is such an improvement. Brian is meticulous. He made sure to vacuum up dust every little step along the way. Now when I come home, I get to not only see a beautifully staircase but I feel a great piece of mind that the stair handrail is sturdy enough for once my baby is mobile.

He has great communication skills, always keeping up with us via email or text. He had two other men he worked with and they were fast and polite. As a woman, I've felt uncomfortable being alone with or I've been condescended to by other contractors. I never felt this way with Elias and his team. That's worth a lot to me. We hired Quality Construction to install drywall and insulation in our basement. It was done fast and they did a good job. He was accommodating when we had to have them break for an electrician to come in. It was done in about three days. One of the guys accidentally broke a lamp and Elias offered to reimburse us for it. He's a stand-up guy and he does a great job.

Joey came out for a quote and said I would hear back that day. 3 days later I called/emailed, no response, 5 days later, was told quotes take 7-10 days... was a little upset but no worries, 12+ open weekdays out now (they're open on Saturdays but not even counting those) never got a quote. Don't feel like I should need to keep calling to give someone my business so went with someone else. Again super knowledgeable but not responsive after the fact.

The salesman Terry showed us options for various open log kits and price ranges. When I described our system to him, he recommended that I call a repair person to see if it was repairable for about 1/5 the cost of a new system. Although we haven't determined it our old system is repairable or not, I want to point out that Terry was not at all the typical high-pressure salesman and suggested what could be a substantial savings. Just thought I'd share our positive experience.

I needed a competent contractor to replace my front door. My friend texted me Nick Fee's…read moreinformation and said "call him and he will take care of you". I procrastinated a few days because I was skeptical. Other recommendations for basic handyman services and concrete work were horrible disappointments and I could not risk anyone incompetent working on my front door. I needed someone who truly knew what they were doing and what would be needed if complications happened. I called Nick with NCF Home Improvements. He made an appointment with me a few days later. I sent him a few pictures prior to the appointment. He showed up on time and told me exactly what was needed. As soon as I met him, I knew I had made the right choice. He quoted me a fair price and gave me a time frame. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from him as soon as I did. He picked up the supplies that were necessary, including the new door and knob/lock and kept me in the loop every step of the way. He took the time to show me what had made the existing door such a problem in the first place. Nick was professional, pleasant to deal with and actually looked and acted like he knew what he was doing! He was composed and didn't get thrown off balance when a few unexpected challenges came up. Nick had all the tools necessary and accomplished an amazing job with perfect clean up. I could not be more satisfied! I am excited to be able to use my front door again! The door looks good and because of all the extra steps he had to take due to previous poor building choices, it is now the way it should have been! The door fits like a glove and opens and closes nicely. Such an impressive job. I felt like Nick went above and beyond what he quoted but he would not accept any additional money. I will definitely use him in the future and if you have a home project, kitchen or bathroom remodeling, door replacement, deck or stair building, or anything related to a home, give him a call! I wish other companies would take a lesson from Nick. He has set the bar way up!

I needed to revamp the closet in my daughter's room to maximize the space in there. I knew I needed to change the door for better access, but other than that, I didn't have a lot of ideas. I called NCF for a consultation and we set up a convenient time. Nick arrived promptly and listened to my concerns. He then made several suggestions about what could be done to maximize the space. Ultimately, I decided to change the door, add custom shelving and raise the clothing bar. Nick made the great suggestion that if I was planning to use baskets or containers on the shelving, that I find those first to make sure they fit properly. He submitted a written estimate shortly after that meeting and we scheduled the work for the following week. Again, he arrived promptly and completed everything in the same day. He also had the forethought to leave the top shelf unsecured so that I could remove it in the future if space required it. When I checked the work before he left, I asked if we could change the position of the clothes bar to allow for more bulky items. "No problem" was the response and he took care of it. I'm thrilled with the end result and highly recommend his services.

They are highly unprofessional and incompetent. Do not make the mistake of thinking they will finish your project skillfully or on time. You are better off finding qualified tradesmen specializing in specific areas, who care and take pride in the work they do. This company is nothing more than an embarrassment to the industry. They will do low-grade work and leave your home worse off than it was.
