We've worked with Eulises and his team on several projects throughout our home, including our…read morebathrooms, attic, and garage, and we feel very lucky to have found him. His team does beautiful, high quality work and is someone we've really come to trust. He and his crew are punctual, efficient, and reliable. They show up when they say they will, work hard throughout the day, and clean up at the end of every day. That has made living through multiple renovation projects so much easier. He's also always been fair and transparent with us. Additionally if we notice something after the work is done or there's a small issue that needs to be addressed, he's responsive about coming back and making it right. Our bathroom turned out beautifully, and we're so happy with the finished space. There were a lot of details involved, and his team did a great job bringing everything together. (& I value attention to detail in almost an OCD way lol) The fact that we've continued to hire him for project after project probably says it best. Having a contractor you trust in your home is invaluable, and we really appreciate the relationship we've built with him. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family and will absolutely work with him again.

Eulises delivered a quality project, fair price, on time and on budget. He manages a great team, they were all friendly and skillful.

First: I have not used Troy Construction. So why am I reviewing them? Because out of half a dozen…read morecontractors we met, Bulent was my favorite. We did not choose Troy Construction due mainly due to timing (he couldn't start our project for 3-4 months due to his busy schedule). So why was he my favorite? He was down to earth, was very enthusiastic, clearly understood what we wanted to do, and had a lot of useful advice for us. Even though he had a busy schedule (which we didn't know until we asked him when he could start the project), he spent over an hour with us discussing our project. While we ultimately chose another contractor, we already know we want to use Troy Construction for our next big house project...

Can't say enough good things about Troy construction!

I hired Eduardo about three years ago to remodel two bathrooms at the same time. He and team were…read morefriendly and the finished appearance looked good, but unfortunately one bathroom developed a hidden moisture problem that has now required full remediation and reconstruction (thousands of dollars worth of repair) When I opened the wall, I discovered that the exterior bathroom wall had old insulation, old vapor paper, and no proper moisture management behind the new drywall. This created a condensation trap in winter that eventually led to mold inside the wall cavity and peeling paint on the surface. The other bathroom--built at the same time--did not have this issue, which is what helped us figure out that this was not a house-wide moisture problem, but instead a wall-assembly oversight specific to that remodel. To be clear: I'm not questioning their friendliness or effort, but proper bathroom remodeling requires evaluating insulation, vapor control, and the condition of exterior walls during demo, especially when replacing drywall on an exterior-facing wall. That step didn't happen here, and it ultimately created a significant expense and inconvenience down the road. I've removed my initial positive review because, while the bathrooms looked nice on day one, this kind of behind-the-wall oversight matters. I hope the company takes this as constructive feedback for future projects. Customers should make sure that insulation, vapor strategy, and exterior-wall conditions are verified when remodeling a bathroom - especially one with drywall on an outside-facing wall.

They've become an integral part of both our home and business improvements. Eduardo started with handyman work, and we quickly trusted his team with a full bathroom remodel. Years later, they transformed our kitchen into a beautiful space we love, all while following our design vision. Over the years, they've handled everything from minor repairs to urgent fixes at a mixed-use building we own. Most recently, they took on a major project--converting our two-car garage into a fantastic ADU and building a one-bedroom apartment above it. Their craftsmanship, dependability, smart problem-solving, and fair pricing are top-notch. Whether it's a large remodel or an urgent repair, they are our trusted team. I can't say enough good things about Eduardo--you'll love working with them.

The team did a good job, but we did notice some of the patch jobs falling apart or allowing bubbles to form after we painted. Considering how bad the siding was in places, I'm not shocked but it would have been nice if they had pulled us aside to replace the boards that weren't serviceable instead of patching. Despite everything, would recommend working with Longshore.

I contacted John Ferguson after trying, unsuccessfully, to get a response from several contractors,…read morefor a relatively small job (by contractor standards). The communication between John, his foreman Raoul, and everyone else I worked with on the team was a breath of fresh air. They are very clear and very interested in the customers concerns, and full of helpful suggestions. I was sent a model of the project to review beforehand as well as a detailed breakdown of the work and costs. We discovered extensive dry rot that was not in the original scope of the project, but which was remediated within the given schedule. All the individuals who did the work were top notch craftsmen and pleasant to work with. Whereas previously the back yard was a dark depressing place, I now have a lovely aesthetic space in which I want to spend time. Thank you John, Raoul, and team.

As you can imagine, this was a large project, and we as homeowners were nervous about budget, schedule, and quality. We had also heard horror stories about contractors going way over their budgets and schedules, and struggling with quality. It was therefore amazing to see what great work John has done. He brought the project in on time, budget, and quality, but more than that, he put his whole heart into the project. John is a unique individual who not only gets the work done, but is constantly looking for ways to improve the experience. Throughout the project, John was not only receptive to our ideas, but deeply thoughtful about new ideas. A number of the improvements he made have really been life changing for us -- an additional butcher block counter top that functions as an extension of our kitchen for example. Finally, I would say that John does his design not just off a drawing or a checklist of features, but really seeks to see what you're trying to achieve, what you like about your current home, and how you want it to feel when everything's finished. That's rare in a contractor. I am therefore pleased to recommend John and More than a Carpenter without reservation. Our work with him has been a joy from start to finish!

We are very happy we used Tinka Construction to remodel our small bathroom and update our kitchen…read more George and his crew are super friendly, clean, and creative at solving transitions between spaces. His team is resourceful and they did not generate excessive work to add cost. For our kitchen / laundry facelift, we updated the flooring, backsplash, lighting, and reconfigured our laundry area. George's crew helped to side vent the dryer which the big box store was unable to do. George gave valuable input on our bathroom design to optimize the small space. He had suggestions for an in-wall toilet, a corner sink, window ledge niche, and talked us out of a doorless shower (thank you!). He knows small spaces very well and was able to place the fixtures in their best locations. George would give us a heads up on our requests that were going to cost more than ~1k. He had some subcontractors come in to help with varying degrees of quality and cleanliness. We are glad he managed the plumbing contractor who had to come back 3 times. His paint jobs varied quite a bit in consistency depending on who was painting. The best part of working with George was that we were expecting our first child, and he worked very hard to complete the project before her due date. To our surprise and delight he totally finished it before she arrived!

His pricing is also reasonable and transparent. We started with an awkward layout (even no room for fridge in the kitchen!) and ended with a tastefully transformed home: open, modern and feels much more spacious than before. George is patient, transparent, detail oriented (with a special eye for safety!) and always a clever problem solver on behalf of his clients. What he did for our project was too much to list, but I'm attaching a few photos where the end results can speak for itself! Contractors like George is hard to come by and highly sought after in the current environment, we would recommend him to any one who values craftsmanship and quality!
