### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Michael Howard, April 2022**

> Pythoge renovated our dated main bathroom, and they did an awesome job! Chris and Rachel were great to work with. They had a good balance of giving us advice and listening to what we wanted. They were also very conscious of and responsible with our budget. The Pythoge workers did quality work, and they treated our home respectfully, despite being a construction site. We will definitely call them again for our next project!

**★★★★★ — HU-454477433, Sept. 2021**

> Chris Taylor and his team were great during a difficult time with Covid raging and prices soaring. They did a great job remodeling to our specifications and choices despite appliances being delayed.
> The end product is exactly what we wanted.

**★★★★★ — James Alexander, Sept. 2021**

> I highly recommend Pythoge for renovations! They are reasonable priced, amazing to work with, reliable, and efficient! We purchased a 30 year old fixer upper in Auburn and worked with Chris and Rachel to make it our dream home. At the end of the renovation we were under budget and a week earlier than the expected completion date. They expertly completed major renovations throughout the home: In the kitchen (took down a wall, reconfigured cabinets, new countertops, sink, backsplash), redid the flooring on the main level (wood floors throughout), and two bathrooms (powder bath and main bath). I can't believe it's the same house. On top of their professionalism and efficiency they are great people and are very responsive to any concerns we had. We have already recommended them to several of our close friends and colleagues.

**★★★★★ — Karl Harker, Aug. 2021**

> We have had multiple projects done by Pythoge.
> Most recent and comprehensive was a remodeling of our master bathroom, along with our other two bathrooms. They transformed our out of date facilities, into a modern times renovation. We love it. We particularly love the transfer from an old outdated shower stall to a larger size decorative shower in the master bathroom. We also replaced all the commodes, new floor tiles, mirrors, sinks, cabinets and facets, along with great painting to finish the rooms off. They also repainted our front door and replaced other door fixtures.
> We recommend Pythoge for any type of house renovation.

**★★★★★ — Frusterio Design, Inc., Aug. 2021**

> We have had the pleasure of working with Pythoge for the past couple of years.  We thoroughly enjoy when a project presents itself to collaborate with them.  They are very involved throughout the process, from design conceptual to completed home, and their final product always is a wonderful representation of what we envisioned with the home design.  Couldn't recommend them enough!

**★★★★★ — Louisa Patterson, Dec. 2016**

> I was very impressed with Pythoge from the first meeting. We have done 4 other renovations and Pythoge by far was the most professional and their work quality was the best. Ken, Chris, and Mary were always available and very hands-on during the whole process. I definitely will use them again for my next project! I thoroughly enjoyed working with them.

**★★★★★ — Katie Dyer, Sept. 2016**

> Pythoge became our family during our whole house renovation, and they guided us on every step of the way.  It was a huge undertaking to take it to the studs and basically start from scratch while still maintaining the mid century charm of our family home, but they managed to pull it off.  I would recommend them for any job - big or small.  Pythoge delivered for us, BIG TIME, and it has changed our entire lives.

**★★★★★ — ahshannon, June 2016**

> I cannot say enough good things about Pythoge.  They are not only innovative with their design ideas, they also have the construction expertise to back them up- a rare find when it comes to remodeling contractors. Pythoge transformed our garage storage area into functional additional heated and cooled square footage.  It turned out better than I had ever expected.  Without sacrificing quality they always had creative yet cost effective ideas when it came to solving any issues that naturally arise with remodeling jobs.  We were so pleased that we used them again for a second job and now have a beautiful screen porch and deck addition as well.  I was discouraged two years ago when I had several contractors string me along only to tell me that they couldn't figure out a way to make these jobs happen.   Pythoge not only made it happen, but did so with the highest quality and design standards.  They are a real gift to the community!

**★★★★★ — Lindsay Waits, March 2016**

> Visionary, expedient, creative, budget-conscious, and incredible team dedicated to creating truly unique spaces that are functional while still honoring the spirit of the original home. Love the Pythoge values and can't say enough great things about my experiences with them!

**★★★★★ — carmennorris, Feb. 2016**

> Professional from day one.  From the day we first considered purchasing a home from Pythoge, we knew we were in extremely capable hands.  Pythoge was in the demolition phase of our now home when we entered into a contract - so we experienced their renovation process from almost day one.  A few key facts:
> (1) They are visionaries who are able to back up their creativity with superior craftsmanship.
> (2) They take pride in every detail of their work and do not cut corners.
> (3) They involve you in the renovation process as little or as much as you desire and will advise you through each decision.
> (4) They follow through - even months after our move-in date, they are still in touch making sure we are pleased (and we are!).
> We simply love our home - it was perfectly "Pythoged".

**★★★★★ — lerobuck, Feb. 2016**

> The staff of Pythoge is professional and honest. They complete projects with efficiency and provide each home with unique style while remaining mindful of functionality!

**★★★★★ — peacebm, Feb. 2016**

> I've been following Pythoge and their work since they began. They have excellent taste and an eye for seeing a homes full potential!

What is the specific brick that you used here?

A: Hi there - this is General Shale Grand Bay brick!

**Q: About the Tile** *(in Photo Questions)*

Researching for remodeling our 1950's house. Love this look! What is the name, color and size of the backsplash tile? Thanks

A: Hi Jessica,
Thanks for your question and kind words! 
The tile is from Lowe's -  \#630834, 12x12, Pins Porcelain Mosaic.
Good luck with your remodel!

**Q: What are the colors of the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi,

**Q: love the light fixture! Where is it from? Thanks for your response!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thank you for the compliment!  We found the individual globes at an antique market.  Then we made the mounting box out of reclaimed wood and finished it off with the Edison bulbs.  We really love it too!  We wanted something different and "rustic/industrial".  Thank you once again for your interest and feel free to reach out to us again.
