We contacted Sharp Industries, Steve & Lora Lee Ortiz, owners, in January 2017 after finding them listed as recommended on the Houzz website. They responded right away, and set up an appointment to come to our home to find out what we were looking for in a remodel/addition at our 35 year old home. They took our ideas, along with their recommendations back with them, and before long had several concrete designs that we could look at. It took several visits by them, which they gladly undertook, to come to a place where we found the idea and design that would work for us. Upon agreement as to what we would like to go forward with, they then had our choice of addition ideas submitted to a plan designer. We soon had some working drawings to go off of, and even then changes were encouraged, and implemented by Steve & Lora Lee along the way, which was very helpful. At that point plans were drawn up to submit for permits, and we were on our way! Construction began on June 4th 2017, and ultimately was complete the last week of September 2017. We had a few permit hiccups along the way, but Steve was always right there to make sure everything got taken care of and done right. He was the ultimate construction foreman and coordinator. Anytime there was a glitch, Steve was right there to meet with any of the subcontractors; Lora Lee was also always available to answer questions, show us samples of materials, or contact one of their suppliers if we had a question. Home remodeling or additions can be very frustrating, but Steve and Lora Lee were always right there to make the process as pain free as possible. They always responded to our emails and phone calls right away, even on weekends. One thing Sharp Industries allowed us to do, to save money along with helping us feel like the project was personal, was to allow us to complete any and all work we wanted to do ourselves. We were able to do that, with their blessing, and it saved us a considerable amount, with the addition of feeling more personal accomplishment. We also had to contact Sharp Industries to deal with some issues weeks after the job was complete, and they took care of the issues willingly and professionally. They also helped us with the energy rebates we were eligible for. We love the addition of a master bedroom / bath / closet to our home, and it has been just the home facelift that we felt we needed. Steve and Lora Lee Ortiz of Sharp Industries were just the type of professional, capable, honest, and hard-working contractors we hoped we would find. We would recommend them for their ideas and ability to implement those ideas in a professional way to anyone who would need a home addition or remodel.
