(people came out for almost two years, with no results) Then Chris and his team with Guts to Glory came out, explained to me the problem and walked me through the entire process. Needless to say I was very satisfied with how prompt, helpful and understanding they were throughout the process... especially when my frustration was sky rocked. well I went from completely frustrated to relieved! the job is done and looks great. ( mold treatment was done, drywall had to to be replaced, vent had to be installed and installation placed to prevent it to return) Haven't had any issues since! thanks guys 10/10 recommend

I'll try to explain this "Not Good" rating as briefly as possible. If there was an option for…read more"Sucked" it would be more appropriate. In short, this man took my $2000 deposit, and over nearly two years (pre-COVID), failed to complete a single task in the contract. I asked for my money back and sent a demand letter. Dave gave excuses such as other jobs running over, personal injuries/limitations, family health issues, etc. He complained about how many times he had to come to my house to talk about the plans. While I admit that I did have an evolving vision that sometimes needed a face to face discussion, most of his trips were for his benefit, not mine (e.g., had to re-measure several times and even asked me to take measures to send). He stated that his right to keep the deposit was based on work already done. I never saw anything done. He also tried to withhold some of my items as "collateral" and in legal terms, that's called theft. I eventually had to make a trip to his workshop to pick up my property. I cannot speak to the quality of Dave's work, but I can share with you that he took advantage of someone in a state of grieving. I felt bad for each of his reasons as to why he couldn't finish the project because I was in a fragile state. In hindsight, I was manipulated. Dave may respond to this with unsubstantiated excuses. Near the end of my correspondence wit Dave, he sent me a final invoice that was $4000 over my quoted price stating that the job had caused him extra work and travel that was not anticipate. Again, I share with you that he NEVER DID ANYTHING in my house. Please choose a different carpenter to save yourself some time and money, and some very likely heartache.

Updated review since we finished our renovations this fall!!…read more Mainstyle is great small, family owned business. We used their indy location just south of downtown on Meridian and Epler. They have a Plainfield store. We showed them our dream kitchen, ideas, and budget and it came to life. We got our custom cabinets, countertop and backsplash from them and installed by them. Worth it!

We have a smallish bathroom - the only one in the house - and Oscar came to give us a price on ripped down the walls, the ceiling, ripping up the floor and rebuilding the whole thing. We had a design but Oscar was SO helpful in leading us through important things to think about. We picked Oscar over other contractors because he seemed immediately like someone we could work with, who could we talk things over with and who would be practical with us as we worked through problems. And there were some. Termite damage, plumbing weirdness, uneven joists. In every case, Oscar talked over options with us, made recommendations and cheerfully proceeded with whatever we decided. In several cases, Oscar called us in before he completed some work to make suggestions that he thought would improve what we had originally planned -- and he was right every time. In addition, he was an absolutely professional and his work was flawless. We are thrilled with our bathroom and his amazing work. Thanks to Oscar and CSI.
