As first-time home buyers, we had a great experience working with Solidworks to renovate our new house. From the beginning, we appreciated Leo’s willingness to listen to our vision and provide his own point of view on what would make the project successful. We were able to scale the project to achieve our goals within the budget we had set, and also worked with his design partner Julia to visualize the end result. We also appreciated Julia’s help recommending and sourcing some of the finishes for the project. In the end, we decided to redo our kitchen, two bathrooms, a new floor, and paint the interior of the house.
Throughout the course of the project, Leo and Julia were fairly proactive in their communication and also flexible working around our schedules for walk throughs and checks ins. This was appreciated as my wife and I both work and we were living about 45 mins away while the project was completed. Leo was on site frequently to direct his subcontractors and ensure high quality work. The end result is beautiful and looks just like we envisioned. And after a few months in the house, we’re very happy with the build quality and have not had any major issues. In fact, the attention to detail of some of his crew, particularly Jose, exceeded our own and really had them going the extra mile to make things perfect.
Leo told us from the beginning that he is not the cheapest, but that he would not “nickel and dime” us on change orders, and he was true to that word. The budget expanded a bit, but only because we added on work like adding the new floors. If we have one complaint, it’s that we felt there were some delays early in the project getting certain trades to keep the project moving, but I attribute that, at least in part, to the high volume of home improvement work being done in the area throughout 2021. To his credit, Leo really moved mountains to complete the finishes quickly at the end of the project, knowing that we had just had our second child and were anxious to move in and get settled. All in all, the renovation was definitely worth the money and the wait, and we’ll be happy to work with Leo and Solidworks on our next project!
it's was my pleasure working for you!
