I recently hired Joe for two small jobs at my house. First I had some dry rot in a board beneath my…read moreback door from poor installation years ago and Joe replaced it, as well as fixing an issue with the flashing at the ledger board behind it. I also had him strip and repaint the trim around the side door into my garage (while doing that he also removed some dry rot and sealed everything to prevent any issues in the future). Scheduling was a little rocky due to the snow and weather, but I didn't mind at all because the work was high quality and I'm exceptionally happy with the final product I got! Would happily hire him again in the future!

I contracted Joo to remodel my bathroom and laundry room back in April of 2023. He said he could…read morecomplete the job in 3 weeks. it took nearly 5 months and the work was HORRIBLE. Before I could even enjoy my shower the tile walls started cracking. There was a big hole in one tile that had been filled in with grout to hide. The tiles on the bathroom floors started coming up immediately. There were so many things wrong. I eventually had to hire another contractor to come in and demo EVERYTHING that Joe had done, and redo my entire bathroom again. When the new contractor took out the shower, we found that the pipes had cuts in them and Joe had just covered them up. Everything that Joe did had to be replaced because of the poor installation. I paid him over 28k, and I paid for most of the materials myself. He is very dishonest, and made promises that he NEVER intended to keep. He said he would call me to schedule a meeting to talk about a refund, and he hasn't returned any of my calls, emails or text. if you are considering him for a job, DON'T!!!!! He and his workers who are not licensed, scratched my laminate flooring in 3 rooms. Unfortunately my flooring is no longer available so the rooms would need to be completely replaced. He said he could fix the scratches, but he hasn't. He has no regard for personal property.

Ian Williams is my brother, so I'm obviously biased, but his handyman work and contracting work is…read moresuperb! He gave my husband and me the gift of the installation of a custom fold-down cutting board where a rickety fold-down ironing board used to be. This, of course, was totally his idea because he's creative like that. The cutting board is beautiful, solid, and functional, adding 30% more surface area to our kitchen. It's far superior to the ironing board that was there previously. He used top notch parts, sourced from specialty cabinet makers, to construct it. Ian was also timely and cleaned up after himself. I would feel confident hiring Ian for bigger projects, as I have seen him helping his former employer (my Dad) build bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and more. Sure, I may be his sister, but I'm his older sister and thus prone to harsh judgement... so you know you can trust my review, and Ian with all of your handyman needs.

Ian completed a bathroom remodel in our 1940s town house. Before Ian came to our aid, the bathroom…read morewas a nightmare--kelly green tile, broken prefab shower, water damage, and crumbling studs. Ian reframed our space and created a luxurious corner shower complete with an inset shelf for shampoo. His tiling job was excellent! He also thought to create a handy door to a water shut off that will be a huge help if we have issues in the future! Despite having a full bath steps from our bedroom, my husband and I both shower in the basement now, enjoying our spa-like retreat from Hilltop Renovations! Ian was a considerate worker while in our home. He took care of our living spaces by laying drop cloths and covering furniture to minimize drywall dust. He was super pleasant and personable--the dog missed him when our job was done. We highly recommend Ian for your next project. Margot and Nathan D.

Made appointment to have Bobby come out and give us a quote...he was a no call no show. I tried to call him; however, no answer. Took off work early to met this guy and got stood up.

UPDATE: Bobby called me today to apologize about missing our appointment, for that phone call I give him and is company 5 stars...he takes his company's feedback seriously. We have rescheduled and are starting over with a clean slate. Thank you Bobby. UPDATE: Thank you Bobby for coming out today and discussing our remodel, we look forward to working with you.

Engaged this company in 02/2023 re: a significant home renovation. Signed a contract with an…read moreexchanged of ~$50K in 10/2023. Spent the next 7 mo. meeting with vendors, material selections and pricing aspects of the project, etc. 05/24/24: Notified via a 3-way phone call (myself, husband and owner) that the owner would not be finishing the project. Excuse shared was r/t distance of property (Chapel Hill) to his business based in Raleigh. Owner invoiced later that day of what he believed he was owed of the ~ $50K. We requested itemized vendor invoices to justify what he had invoiced. Interior Designer and his invoice was not itemized. Owner became disrespectful in his communications. Communications from that point on moved to written with delivery sent via USPS certified. We sought legal counsel and felt owner was in breach of the contract x3 points: 1. Time frame project was to start & finish 2. Never notified us in writing (at least 10 days in advance) to terminate contract. 3. Owner did not honor to jointly secure a construction mediator in the event of a monetary dispute. From 05/24/24 owner retained ~$28K of our unused funds after terminating the contract. This action is a violation of Chapter 75 of the North Carolina General Statues of unfair and deceptive trade practice. The monetary dispute only involved funds used to purchase materials, services and his time/travel. 09/16/24: We filed litigation against Tobin Construction, LLC through the Wake County General Court of Justice, District Court. 10/17/24: The magistrate ruled in favor of us mandating the owner to pay the disputed amount + 8% interest retroactive to 05/24/24. This is not a contractor anyone should consider. Please let our experience save you from this nightmare.

I can always tell when contractors…read moreare being disingenuous or inflating their portfolio, but I can tell you that Brandon knows his stuff. I hire contractors for project aspects that I admit I dont have the experience to handle. Thats where Brandon comes in. He hails from SoCal, a traditionally unforgiving part of the country when it comes to home renovations. He has offered so many viable options for my bathroom renovations that came with very minimal price adjustments. He offers his own business discount if you prefer to procure your own material. Hes responsive, personable, and supremely grounded. His experience affords him the option to showcase all of his past performance for clients to offer the course of action that most aligns with your individual budgetary restrictions. I'm almost hesitant to share this review to ensure he will always have schedule availability to assist me with my own future projects, but id be remiss to hinder his efforts to build one of the few remaining honest, straightforward companies we in NC should consider ourselves lucky to have. This guy is a cannot miss for whatever renovation help you might need.

BEWARE...To say this experience was disappointing is an understatement. We had Clinton come out and…read moreremove our popcorn ceilings. I was asked on Monday when they arrived if we could find somewhere to stay or a couple of days. Originally we had planned and discussed us staying in the house. This was a good call to leave. But after a week Clinton texted me to come check out our ceilings as if he was done. We'll they were a mess. Dips in the sheetrock that were unfilled, around the lights were not smooth, our trim around the top of the wall is stained and ruined. Which he told us the messed up trim wasn't his responsibility. Above my cabinets looked terrible too. They tape the fan and ruin it because the tape peeled the stain off of it. He did come back Monday and half fixed the things wrong but they are still not good. They used my Norwex cleaning towel which is a $25 towel for paint clean up (my dog got it out of the trash, destroyed my broom, and they used my Dyson vacuum for clean up and stopped it up to the point we had to take it apart. They used my toilet to the point their feces were all over the bottom of the seat, used my cups that were in the cabinet, used the microwave where I had put stuff to not get messy and did not put it back. Clinton acted like none of this was his problem. I wish I would have never have used CFG Home Remodeling. This was one of the worst decisions and his profile pictures and website picture are not at all reflective of the mess I got from them. Also, after 1 week I have a crack in the sheetrock in the kitchen.
