They were flexible with their time and repaired some cabinets and draws that were broken. They painted our wood cabinets and our islands, as well as helped us pick a backsplash which matches beautifully with our floors and our countertops.

I would highly recommend LP Painting Carpentry for their services and would not hesitate to use them again for other projects. It was a pleasure working with them. Thank you!!

We moved into our condo in 2021 and had replaced the old and rotting planks with composite soon…read moreafter we moved in; however, we were most interested in revitalizing the roof deck altogether - the railing and posts were rotted and had peeling paint, and we had minimal privacy when hosting friends and family. After speaking with several contractors, we were fortunate enough to find Leo, who gave the roof deck a complete facelift! We initially hired Leo to update the siding of our top deck and replace the door leading to the bottom deck. During our first consultation meeting with him, he had brainstormed many design concepts and ideas we had not even thought of that we ultimately went with - we highly appreciated the creativity and effort to make our image a reality. He was incredibly communicative, and we really felt like we were working as a team. We ended up having him replace the railing of our upper deck and added a privacy wall with a beautiful design. He handcrafted the railing and involved us in every step of the design process. He also replaced rotting wood that was exposed beneath the siding, fixed a broken outlet, and completely replaced a rotting window frame. He also put in place LED light strips beneath the railing to create a sense of ambience we didn't even realize we were looking for! Leo was always very transparent with the timing of each phase of this project as well as any associated costs. Leo went above and beyond and returned twice after our final payment to add some minor touch ups to ensure the deck was as picture-perfect as can be! We have many upcoming projects in our new home and hope to work with Leo on all of them. We have already begun brainstorming together what we can do with our bottom deck. We would recommend Leo a thousand times over and are looking forward to collaborating with him again!

It was a bit odd to walk into the showroom and not be acknowledged by any staff...this is because the only staffperson was working in back, and perhaps couldn't see customers enter. After looking around independently for sometime, I was eventually approached by the sales associate, Mashiko, who was polite and helpful, and placed my order. The email confirmation for the order took several days longer than promised, and the delivery of my order took 4 weeks longer than estimated (6-8 weeks). It was frustrating that no one from Tile Showcase bothered to contact me and tell me that my order had been delayed. And it was frustrating that no one could help me when I called on a Saturday to find out about the order, nor did anyone return my first 2 voicemails (after more than 4 days). Eventually when I did drive to Watertown to pick up my order, it was correct, and the staffperson loaded it into my car for me. It would be much more convenient for Tile Showcase to bring items purchased at the Design Center TO the Design Center for delivery.

The project was amazing and they did a final walk-through with me, and gave me a chance to ask them to make changes/updates to the project, if needed. A+ all around!

Eligio proposed several materials and adjusted them in line with the specific features we were looking for. We wanted a surface that would be both stable under the specific conditions (directly up against the foundation of our house and next to the sloping retaining wall, but also more porous than the asphalt. Eligio and his crew did a meticulous job to make sure the ground was properly regraded to improve water flow away from the house while making the surface more porous (hence the wider spacing between the cobblestones. He also adapted the design so I could have some planting space between the wall and the cobble stone. We were impressed with the crew's diligence and efficiency. Given the particular challenges and materials we were looking for, I consider the price to have been very fair.

His crew helped me realize my vision with many custom configurations and designs professionally!

Ian took the time to talk on the phone when I first reached out about the project and the scope of work. He even reviewed some drawings I had done of the space and pointed out some things to think about for the layout (such as if we moved the fridge, we'd have to make sure we could access a water line for the ice maker). Ian met with us at the house to talk about the project, and we engaged Ian and IDR shortly thereafter. All told, the renovation took about 4 weeks, which was a great timeline and we are very pleased with how it came out. Ian was responsive, polite, and overall a pleasure to work with, and his subcontractors were polite, unobtrusive and cleaned up each day. We were fortunate in that we had a clear vision of what we wanted (which made the design process easy), but Ian truly helped bring that vision to life and thought of ways to make it better that we hadn't thought of, all while never being pushy or disrespectful. We highly recommend Ian and the IDR team and we look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.
