**Comment from Manhattan Home Builders:**

> Thank you for your review, Julio! It was great working with you!

**★★★★★ — rdcast08, March 2016**

> We contracted Manhattan Builders to do some remodel work on our home that we bought using Urban Properties.  We had purchased the home using a Purchase and Renovation Loan that allowed us to finance our remodel into our home mortgage using Starkey Mortgage. Jon and his team worked with our mortgage lender for the renovation. They were courteous and professional and listened to what we wanted throughout the process and we are very happy and satisfied. We have a kitchen that needs to be remodeled as well and we look forward to have Manhattan Builders work with us again.

**Comment from Manhattan Home Builders:**

> Thank you for your review! We appreciate your positive comments and your business!

**★★★★★ — Rodney Prater, Jan. 2016**

> Last year, Manhattan Home Builders, built a a custome home for us. This home was very detailed and lots of difficult sections. Also we made several significant changes during the contrustion. To say the least we could be difficult. However, Jon was able to accomadate and managed to get our home within budget. Could not say enough about the professionalism of Jon and crew.

**Comment from Manhattan Home Builders:**

> Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Rodney! It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate your business!

## Community Q&A

**Q: what’s the wall color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What’s the blue wall color?

A: Hi! Thank you for your inquiry. This project was completed over 5 years ago and I no longer have access to these interior paint colors. Sorry for not helping better.

**Q: need a remodel contractor** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am needing a contractor for repairs to my upstairs due to Harvey 

I am also needing advice on an efficient ac unit that will reduce humidity and mold in my home 

3615631068

A: Hi Michelle. Thank you for contacting us. I will call you tomorrow to discuss your project. Thank you.

**Q: Beautiful tile in shower.  What is it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The shower is finished with ceramic tile. (Customer selected color and don't have a record for this one). The bottom of the soap dish niche is quartz. Hope this helps!

**Q: this is beautiful.  How large is the water closet and the bathtub?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi! The water closet dimensions are approximately 36" by 56" inside to inside. And the bathtub dimensions are 72" x 32". Thank you.

**Q: Any problems with the water draining?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thinking of using river rock in shower, but wasnt sure if there might be any issues with the water draining or mold issues? Any advice or tips to share?

A: Sooo sorry for delayed response. We are not as active on this site as others. I decided to answer late so that future customers may be able to benefit from your question as your project has probably come and gone. These pebbles are bonded to a mesh that is installed on a wall or floor like a typical piece of ceramic tile. It looks great and is not prone to water penetration as long as installed properly. We installed over a hardi backer and we applied a substrate called red guard that prevents water from penetrating through to the walls. The part you have to be careful with is the faucet handle. Ideally this would be installed on a flat surface so that it can be caulked and sealed all around preventing water from seeping through over time. This is difficult to do when the handle is on top of a rocky, uneven surface. Other than that, this is a excellent product to use in the shower. Hope that helps!

**Q: Light** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the light.. where is it from!?

A: The ceiling light fixture came from a local vendor. The homeowner provided the actual fixture, so we do not have a record of the manufacturer's name. It is very elegant though. Glad you liked it and sorry I couldn't provide better information.
