I contacted Nate Burr of Turn Key Custom is the fall of 2013. He had been referred to me my an electrician whom I had used personally and also had done work for me professionally who I trusted explicitly. When I inquired about a small contractor to do my kitchen remodel, he only gave me one name and that was Nate Burr.
Nate and I met and had instant report. After reviewing my plans, he recommended that I contact a kitchen designer (there was no charge to me) to come and look over the current plans that I had, measure the kitchen and work with me regarding the cabinets.
That recommendation alone was worth its weight is gold. She was a previous graphic design artist, had a great eye for layout and took my previous design and really created a new focal point. She and Nate were both very cognizant of my budget and worked within it.
He accompanied me to the pick out the granite and again, helped me stay within budget when my wandering eye wavered.
We demo'd the second week of January 2014....all the way down to the studs. He has a small group of subs that work with him on a regular basis. Again, something else that made him a good fit for my project as I would not be home most of the time and the less people in and out of my home the better.
All of them were great, very respectful of my space and also very respectful of my time, never entering the house prior to the agreed upon start time. The job site was left clean every day.
Being in a condo complex, all permits were pulled and because of those, we had a few challenges. He found creative ways to solve every one of them, yet stay within code.
I was back operational February 21, 2014. There were still punch list items, but he kept his team on schedule and we completed the project on time and on budget. 5 weeks from demo to being able to use the kitchen again.
Would I hire him again? You bet. I have additional projects (bathrooms, etc.) that I will tackle over the next coming years and the good news is I won't have to look for a great contractor, I have one. read more
