When we initially spoke to our realtor (Catherine Allen - Allen Realty Group) about putting our…read morehouse on the market, she scheduled some time to do a walkthrough with us. I was very confident that she would be super impressed with our home and the way it presented. Although she loved our home, she softly recommended we consider "staging" our home in order to bring out the best in it. Within a day, Shari came through and immediately had some great ideas to enhance the flow and completely improve the overall appeal of our home. From my perspective, Shari's unique talent is her ability to put you in a positive frame of mind and open up the many creative possibilities in presenting your home. After she completed the job and I was walking through our home, I was amazed how great everything looked and how much better it made me feel as a the owner. This was the "POP" I was looking for and I was much more optimistic about our chances of selling our home. Sure enough, we had good traffic through our home for a couple of weeks and the feedback on the staging was fantastic! Within three weeks we had a full price offer which included a request to purchase a few pieces of furniture in the house from Shari's staging. We highly recommend Shari & her team to stage anyone's home. It was literally "the breath of fresh" air our home needed to put it over the top!!!

The best part was seeing the payoff, we got many offers, over our asking price, and I genuinely credit a lot of that to the staging. I was amazed how effective it was and highly recommend her if you're selling your house!

Our project started this past February when we purchased our home in Exeter. After getting quotes…read morefrom three local contractors including a well recognized national firm, we decided on Benchmark. Lee was most responsive and professional. He provided us with pictures of completed projects. His proposal was not the cheapest but other factors helped us decide on Benchmark. We gave Lee access to our home when we returned to Florida. He also suggested other vendors in the area. Overall, we're very satisfied with his work, attention to detail in the resurfacing and adding to our kitchen, special acknowledgement to Peter who is one of the installers who put the finishing touches to complete the new kitchen. Again, we highly recommend Lee and his crew at Benchmark Have tried to reach Lee three times, no answer, looking for suggestions for resurface of cabinets in Florida home. No response, don't know if out of business. Disappointed

When I spoke to Lee, I immediately felt I was in better hands. I went to their showroom that afternoon to look at material choices and was very pleased.

So now I'm having them remodel my two bathrooms. I highly recommend this company.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Amy helped us pick out amazing tile and the…read moreservice was outstanding. She even tried to help us find a new contractor when ours fell through. There was an issue with a third party not giving us all of our order and Amy got down to the bottom of it and resolved everything expediently and professionally. She was great at managing the materials and even gave us a heads up on what other materials for our bathroom would be long lead and that we should look into those. In the end I couldn't be happier with how the tile came out.

We found The Cabinet Works through our general contractor. We had already had one estimate from…read moreanother local kitchen center, but their pricing was much higher than we anticipated. When we explained to Anita that we were not looking to put a BMW engine into a VW (our house is a modest Cape), she helped us find the perfect balance between quality and price. She also made some really sound recommendations in terms of the kitchen layout, which is now in its final phases of completion. The cabinets and countertops (quartz) arrived on time, and Anita personally took inventory to ensure that nothing was missing or damaged. The company that she contracted with to do the countertops was top notch -- everyone we dealt with was professional and prompt and it was obvious that they took great pride in their work. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and would recommend The Cabinet Works to anyone on the New Hampshire Seacoast - especially if you are committed to shopping local as we are.

She came up with a beautiful setup. She had already added all the things I wanted like a spice rack, tray separator and trash/recycle pull out cabinet. We especially loved the contractor she used. He was respectful, thorough and prompt. I was the one dealing with him on alot of the aspects and as a woman found him easy to work with. He always listened and thought about what I was asking him. I deferred to his judgment alot. Our renovation is now complete and we love it. Anita really did think of everything. We loved working with her. She really cares that we like what she created. And we do. Our pantry cabinets are to die for. We're so happy!!!

The quality of the work is some of the best that I have ever seen, having been in the construction…read morefield for a majority of my life, the level and attention to detail is unrivaled and achv goes above and beyond the call of duty. While sometimes the work may admittedly take some time to be produced and reach a logical point of being able to share, I simply encourage every possible client to understand the magnitude of the investment being made with their project and the incredible importance of ensuring quality over speed when it comes to the documentation that will bring the project to life. I will happily wait for anything to ensure that we get the best possible outcome (and achv design delivers the best work out there) rather than rush it for the sake of having something fast. Would you rather have a filet mignon cooked to perfection or just settle for a drive-thru burger, but in this scenario you pay the same for either option? Obvious answer... Thanks to achv design, we had the opportunity (which I didn't think was an option in this particular facet of the industry) to go through multiple iterations of our rather large addition to our home and utilize the technical nature of the design that achv produces to see what was possible in many different regards, including financially, aesthetically, and rationally. Not only did we have the opportunity to go through the minutiae of the project in detail, and not only did the company help us at every step of the way, but we were able to explore the different options on the interior and exterior and have schematics in hand for each iteration to be able to get pricing, feedback, and to be able to check in with the individuals involved in the process to ensure the investment had its proper checkboxes at each step. Long story, short, achv design is your best option in every which way!

it's always a guessing game which flooring company will be the best choice. Depending on your…read morepriorities, you may list these differently, but I can guarantee they all are values that B&C Flooring exemplify as a trusted business. 1. Communication= will someone answer my telephone call, text or email with any question before, during or after installation? 2. Knowledge= does this business know about the product, manufacturer, or are they just a good sales person? 3. Price= is the price competitive with other quotes? 4. Installation = Is the installer someone that is a regular and known for quality work? 5. on time= the appointment to measure, materials delivery, scheduled installation?

I usually throw them away but I was drawn to their unique marketing piece. I got a very reasonable estimate and decided to begin with one project and see how it went from there.
