We hired Tony to remodel our kitchen. His experience, pricing, and timeline were the key factors…read more We also liked the fact that he's a 'one-stop shop'--the guy who sells to you is the same person who is going to execute the job end-to-end. Our existing kitchen was previously done about 40 years ago, but the home itself is well over 100 years old. One of the reasons we hired Tony was that he learned the trades himself working on such old homes, so we knew we would need that experience for our project.
Tony and his team carefully stripped out all the existing cabinetry, and then staged it in our garage for Habitat for Humanity to come pick up (which they did...they took everything thanks to the job by Tony's team to keep all the antique cabinetry intact!). When he stripped out part of our walls, he uncovered the need for additional electrical work to properly prepare the new kitchen, which in turn led to more drywall work. He was able to promptly get an electrician onto the project. His team went on to drywall, sand, and paint the kitchen to prepare it for the new cabinetry. Tony had also designed the kitchen and placed the cabinetry orders in advance, which minimized delay although there were a couple swaps which we negotiated through the project as the bare kitchen revealed the true dimensions. The Northpoint cabinetry which Tony uses is very high quality...real wood, made in the USA, built to last. Our kitchen floors and walls were not always level/even, so he used his exceptional craftsman skills to find unique ways to ensure the ceiling, wall, and flooring would not prevent us from having our dream kitchen from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. His team members were excellent at implementing his plan. While working in our house, we were impressed with Tony to the point where we asked his team to take on a couple other side projects (bathroom, painting) which his team was able to work into the existing timeline at a reasonable cost.
Overall, this was a complex project with some unexpected hiccups along the way. Tony absorbed the cost on some of the 'surprises', and in other cases he charged us for additional work. I should also add that he fixed some other things in our house without charging us, just because he had all the tools/materials available and could quickly hammer things out. I can't say enough about Tony's carpentry skills, and his constant drive to make things look as good as they can possibly be. His craftsmanship is his standout trait, and the passion shows in his work.
