When I was not happy with a paint color and an area of tile work, it was immediately changed the next day to my specifications. I appreciated that they took the time and put in the effort to make my ideas for the bathroom become a reality. Maria and her team were both professional and courteous, a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — User, May 2016** > We originally contacted NCS for what we thought would only be a bathroom remodel on our newly purchased house. Maria was so thorough and professional in providing estimates and recommendations that we ended up doing not only the bathroom, but also a lot of sheetrock, trim, and electrical work. And here's the kicker: we gave Maria a seemingly insurmountable timeline for all this work (we wanted everything done before we moved in). We knew we were asking for a lot and in the back of our minds, we thought there was no way NCS could hit our target, but there's no harm in asking. > > Now I'd heard horror stories from local friends who have used other contractors who went way over schedule, and in the end produced sub-par work. Maria didn't just meet our deadline - she came in a few days early, totally exceeding any expectation we had. > > The quality of her work is second to none, and she is honest and fair. A truly impressive experience with a top-notch professional. You won't be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Sure Shots Photos, Jan. 2016** > Maria has done remodeling in our home and our investment property several times over the past few years and I have been thrilled each and every time. Photos of the jobs are on her website. She has always come in on schedule and on budget. Would highly recommend her firm. **★★★★★ — robertd61, Nov. 2015** > Maria is a pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail and her work ethic have turned her into my "go to" Contractor. She transformed our kitchen from a space that we avoided to a space where we all gather as a family. We get nothing but compliments from everyone that sees it. **★★★★★ — toobuh, July 2015** > Maria Nicastro is now my contractor for life. I interviewed seven - SEVEN - contractors, but Maria was thorough and professional from the very first meeting. What contractor actually brings the plumber and the electrician just to get an accurate estimate on a bathroom reno? Maria does! Throughout the project, Maria kept me and my husband informed through email, phone, and text, and always replied promptly. Project completion was delayed on my end because my granite guy was slow and made mistakes, but Maria was patient with me and with rescheduling final inspections. If she was annoyed about the delay, she sure didn't show it. She even helped me when I COULD NOT PICK a paint color. Have a few more projects waiting in the wings for Maria. My bathroom is GORGEOUS. **★★★★★ — crpallitto, Nov. 2014** > We hired Nicastro Contracting to remodel out shower. Maria was not only honest and responsible, but highly knowledgable in all areas of construction. She reconstructed our shower area along with the tiling and plumbing, I would highly recommend Nicastro to anyone needing home improvment work. **★★★★★ — cathylonginotti, Oct. 2014** > I highly recommend this contractor. They were attentive to my needs in completing a porch construction job that needed stairs, trim and railings. The carpenters were very capable and the contractor went out of it's way to to promptly correct any work that did not align with my wishes. The contractor even went out of the way to pick up extra pieces of wood and material that were required to complete the job without charging for labor time. The job was done at a fair price and completed ahead of schedule. **★★★★★ — Sterl Kitchens Co. Inc., Oct. 2014** > I appreciate Maria's organizational skills. When she comes in I know there will be correct and clear measurements, for a project that has definite direction. These are the type of quotes I look forward to drawing up. This is why I always feel confident in recommending her to my own customers. **★★★★★ — debscho, Jan. 2014** > We highly recommend Nicastro Contracting. We purchased a house that needed quite a bit of updating and Nicastro Contracting came in and helped make this house the home we had envisioned. > They put in oak floors as well as repaired existing wood floors. Renovated an existing bathroom and installed new slate tile. They did trim work, crown moldings as well as built a beautiful set of columns. > Nicastro Contracting is extremely professional, neat, shows up on time and most importantly gives you a beautiful finished product! **★★★★★ — jdegra, Dec. 2013** > Nicastro Contracting did a great job retiling my shower. They were punctual and quick with the work. My Condo only has 1 shower so they worked with me to come in early on the weekend and finished the job before the weekend was done so that we could use the shower for Monday morning. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get tile work done. **★★★★★ — Eastman Construciton, Dec. 2013** > Nicastro contracting provided trim work (crown moldings, 6" base and very intricate columns) general repairs, new oak floor, repair parts of existing wood floors and new oak treads on stairs. Work was awesome. Attention to detail and quick response was appreciated. **★★★★ — knicastro, Aug. 2013** > Nicastro contracting service did an amazing job remodeling our kitchen and adding an addition to our home!!! :) contractor went above and beyond to make sure myself and husband was happy with all work provided. many creative ideas were suggested to us during project that added to our happiness with contractors work!!

It’s gotten terrible reviews A: Unfortunately I don't have the model number. You can use any trim finish and drain piping. It doesn't have to be from the manufacturer of the tub. You can contact your local plumbing supply house and they can help you. Which ever manufacturer of the tub trim you select, will have the drain piping as well. **Q: Materials and instructions. What and how much do I buy? Can I please** *(in Photo Questions)* Materials and instructions. What and how much do I buy? Can I please get instructions to build? A: Hi Tonya, the materials used in the photo are mahogany for the stair treads and cedar for the railing. Pine was used for the stair risers and 2x12 pressure treated lumber for the stair framing. The quantity of materials depends on your specific project **Q: Who makes this tile, please? Purchase information needed.** *(in Photo Questions)* We are redoing our second bathroom. This look is perfect. It resembles stacked stone, but is not projected. A: You are welcome. Please keep in mind the tile specified was used for a project approximately 4 years ago. It is possible the manufacturer may not have that same tile available. Tiles are constantly changing. Checked the manufacturer's website and they don't have it labeled as B-stone but now have a collection called B-concrete https://www.ceramichebrennero.com/b-concrete/?lang=en I hope this helps you. Good Luck with your project. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us. **Q: Name of tile or source?** *(in Photo Questions)* This tile looks great in the bath. Could you let us know where it can be purchased? Thanks! A: Thank you for your interest in our work. The wall & ceiling tile is a porcelain tile by Brennero called B-Stone. The color is grey. This is their Web site.http://www.brennero.com/b\_stone-b\_stone-sandy-en/. The wall tiles are 3x6.5 subway and the ceiling is 6.5x6.5. The bull nose is the 3x12. Thank you again; any other questions please don't hesitate to contact us. **Q: Transition travertine in entry and hall to wood floor in kitchen,great** *(in Design Dilemma)* I want to have travertine in the entry and down the hall and gallery that wind to the great room kitchen area. How do I transition to wood from the stone floor? Or should I just stick with one or the other ? The wood is a dark distressed maple Travertine attached. A: It depends on the height difference of stone to wood. If the wood floor is higher than the stone you should use a wood reducer or a marble saddle. If the stone and wood are set at the same height you can use a Schluter strip. They have various designs for all types of transitions. http://www.schluter.co.uk/floor\_trim\_profiles.aspx **Q: Baseboards and crown moldings** *(in Design Dilemma)* What is the thought on color to paint baseboards and crown moldings? With gray walls, would you still use white or match it to the color of your walls? A: If you want the trim to pop, white would be the color to use. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
