### Reviews

**★★★★★ — cosmodog100, Sept. 2016**

> They completely remodeled our kitchen, including electrical upgrades.  They did a wonderful job, their subs were professional and experienced and we couldn't be happier with the final result.

**★★★★★ — levin5310, June 2016**

> Davies and Sons have completed two large projects for us and we plan to hire them for a third. Their attention to detail is superb. Our historic old farmhouse presented challenges (e.g., nothing is plumb or level). They met these challenges with creative ideas and solutions that worked. We're thrilled by the outcome of both projects. We recommend Wynn, Wade and their team without reservation.

**★★★★★ — CUSTOM METALS INC, May 2016**

> W.E. Davies & Sons is a quality company, always on top of the newest trends in design and product. Always going the extra mile to provide great service. Over the years I have worked with  Wynn and Wade Davies and found their company holds itself to the highest standards in both their business practices and their building standards. I like working with people that do what they promise and the group at W.E Davies & Sons will not disappoint.

**★★★★★ — pbauman9, May 2016**

> The staff from W. E. Davies & Sons, from the Office to the carpenters in the field were very professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient to work with.  They made me feel as though I was part of the team and they listened to me.  I include all the subcontractors that they hired to do the remodeling of my kitchen and bathroom.  I was very impressed with the knowledge they all had in doing this project.  Nothing was left unturned.  They got the job done in a timely fashion.

**★★★★★ — donsimley, May 2016**

> After a tenant moved out of a basement office rental space, it needed major remodeling.  I didn't shop around, Wynn & Wade Davies were recommended by a neighbor of mine and a neighbor of my fathers.  I knew their work was first rate.  I had no idea what to do and where to start.  They offered ideas and suggestions and completely re-vamped the place.  They were a pleasure to work with.  The professionalism and courtesy they showed was only matched by the quality of their work.  They replaced windows, doors, carpeting/flooring and oversaw electrical, drywall and plumbing issues.  I was very happy with their work and would highly recommend them for any remodeling!!

**★★★★★ — nivamon, May 2016**

> W.E. Davies was our general contractor for 2 bathroom remodels as well as part of our living room and our back patio. They did excellent work themselves, and used high quality subcontractors for other aspects of our projects. They delivered on all promises, and did a fantastic job of keeping the projects moving when unexpected things turn up. I would recommend them to anyone.

**★★★★★ — svickers846, May 2016**

> I have had W.E. Davies and Sons completing work for me since the 1980s when I bought my first house in Madison.  Over the years I've moved half a dozen times and in each location I've had Wayne, Wynn and Wade achieve excellent results on a variety of small remodeling projects.  I wouldn't call on anyone else to execute my ideas.  Their craftsmanship is outstanding and they are though, accurate and reasonably priced . . . always!  They will always be my go-to guys.

**★★★★★ — HU-139596, May 2016**

> We have been a subcontractor (asbestos removal & testing) for many many years.  We have always found W.E. Davies + Sons to be extremely safety conscious, client/subcontractor friendly & easy to work with.  I would have recommended them to my own friends!  Bob S.

**★★★★★ — joe\_arkin, May 2016**

> Great company! Staffed with professionals from top to bottom. They are large enough to handle any job, but small enough to pay attention to every detail of your project. You won't find another remodeling company that cares more about listening to the client and getting it right the first time. I guarantee peace of mind and complete satisfaction with W.E Davies and Sons!

**★★★★★ — JoAnn, May 2016**

> We have had Wynn and Wade for multiple major remodeling projects inside our house that included taking the walls down to studs and redesigning the rooms.  Plus they built us a deluxe garage excavated into a hill which required major changes in electrical, water and gas hookups.   We have also used their handyman service and Matt was a life saver (literally) when he came and installed 2 handrails on my basement steps when the originals broke.
>
> Wynn does a thorough job writing up the proposal, with a great eye for details that can bite you later if they are not clearly defined.
>
> One of the most important assets of this company and their employees, is problem resolution.  They will not hide a problem and have always been clear and fair when discussing resolutions.  There will always be surprises in any project.  How a contractor handles them is crucial.  W.E. Davies and Sons deals with them extremely well.  They take pride in their work and do not cover up issues that need to be addressed.
>
> Wade is my favorite carpenter, period.  I am convinced he can do anything with wood.  You will eventually agree if you hire him.  He has also been very helpful with suggestions for improving projects that many times are not necessarily higher cost.  He makes sure he understands how the customer is going to be using the project pr space when it is finished.
>
> You will not go wrong hiring W.E Davies and Sons.  There statement of a square deal is not hype.  I have found them to be honest and fair.

**★★★★★ — dotpdm, May 2016**

> We hired W.E. Davies and sons to do a complete kitchen remodel for us.  Since then, we have hired them for several smaller projects.  We appreciate their attention to detail and emphasis on good quality workmanship.  The kitchen remodeling project, in addition to being done well and looking good, was on time and on budget.  What more could a customer want?

**★★★★★ — pshollen, May 2016**

> W. E. Davies completed a two story addition to our 1935 house, which included a new kitchen and three bathrooms, and did an excellent job integrating the old with the new. They were especially patient and helpful as the design evolved.  Wynn kept in communication throughout the process, their subcontractors stayed on schedule, and Wade demonstrated his top-notch skills in all phases of construction. The project was a very positive experience and we have no hesitation in giving Davies the highest recommendation.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Backsplash problem - need a solution** *(in Remodeling)*

To make a long story short, my world was shattered yesterday (j/k) when I found out that I cannot do a standard horizonal subway tile backsplash because my counters have a 5/8 of an inch slope/slant (along a 12 ft piece).  This is above the accepted tolerance that installers can work around with manipulating grout lines. one installer said something about putting a shim on the counters, but we do not want to do this and risk ruining the counters. i've had two opinions, so i'm moving on....
Anyone have any ideas for something we could do instead?
1\. no backsplash at all
2\. vertical backsplash (I'm not sure this would look great because our granite counters have a horizontal pattern)
3\. only put backsplash above the stove to catch oil/grease splatter
4\. only push backsplash above the stove and above the sink to catch splatter

A: If your counter tops are not level, you need to get that corrected before moving forward with any back splash tile. The counter top won't break if you have someone level it. Whoever installed it for you should come back and fix it at no cost. That is a significant mistake and shows a lack of attention to detail and questionable professionalism. It means that objects will be able to roll across or off your counter top. That's not how they are supposed to work.

**Q: What would you do: budget kitchen remodel w/ golden oak cabinets?** *(in Remodeling)*

I’m back to considering a budget make-over for my kitchen (vs. the $$$ half-house remodel.) What would you do? (Pics below). I own a 1940 bungalow. The front of the house is super cute and original. The kitchen is a 1980s remuddle.

Is it a bad idea to first try to save the golden oak cabinets and only paint them later, if needed? (my house painter bid $3300).

Here’s my latest thought: what if I start with the stuff I can do myself.  A) deep cleaning/de-cluttering inside cabinets. B) cleanup and touch up cabinets w/ Olde English; C) throw down some better rugs as a stop-gap measure to cover the yellowing, busy floor (On order). D) new window covering and better decorating.  E) buy new stainless steel appliances. (Black Friday sales)? Including fan. F) possibly add hardware to make cabinets look more like shaker and less like 80s. (I’d hire a handyman for that).  G) possibly try to stain the cabinets a slightly darker color to match the quarter-sawn oak chairs in the nook (and dining room table in other room).

Then later in the spring, with permits (when my GC is remodeling the master bath): new counters (quartz, off white), new sink, new faucet, new lighting; backsplash; new flooring (flooring material TBD. I have doug fir in the adjoining room) new paint etc

I guess my reasoning is to start with low-cost stuff I can do myself to gauge whether I’ll be happy with a refresh vs. the big remodel and...whether I could live with the oak vs. having them painted.  (I don’t want to wait until the counters are in to decide I need to paint them).

Thoughts? Comments? Does this sound reasonable or am I just a commitment phobe or ??









—

A: Refinishing cabinets is a lot of work (hence the expense you were quoted) and it is not advised that you DIY it unless you've had a lot of experience with stripping and staining wood. You will absolutely have to strip the existing finish before applying new stain or paint. Doing this incorrectly can permanently damage your cabinetry...and then it will definitely be $$$.

Our suggestion: Hire a pro to refinish your cabinets. Get new countertops (quartz), a new backsplash, and LVT or LVP flooring (afforadable compared to tile or hardwood), and switch to stainless steel appliances. 

This could be done in stages. In the end, you will have a new kitchen.

**Q: Should I put LED lighting in my walk in closet?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

The closet has no windows or natural light. The electrician suggested LED.  Is that recommended here as well?

A: Yes, LEDs are great for closets. You'll never have to replace them and it will make looking for things in that closet so much easier.

**Q: Foyer Lighting for 11' Ceiling** *(in Lighting)*

Hi! I am in the process of building a new home. The entry foyer is 5'-8&quot; wide and has 2 trays with 11' ceilings. What size light fixture should I put in the trays? I bought 2 light fixtures with these dimensions:
29 H X 16 W X 16 D (in)
Are they too big?

Thank you so much!
Linda

A: Consider using one light fixture, such as a chandelier. The width should be the length + width of the foyer, but in inches. If your foyer is 5x10, your fixture should be 15 inches wide.

**Q: Kitchen Backsplash for apartment with high heat and oil cooking** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what material to use for a kitchen backsplash for my apartment. I do daily cooking using high heat and oil (searing meats on pans with oil, sauteeing veggies, etc). Below is how the kitchen looks with black granite countertops. What material should I use that'll fit design wise and practicality wise for our cooking style? Looking for something easy to clean with all the oil. Also, should I put backsplash behind the microwave or the section of the stove where the black granite is, or where the fridge is? Thanks in advance!

A: Because this is a rented apartment, we suggest using a metal or glass removeable backsplash: https://www.menards.com/main/buying-guides/paint-buying-guides/peel-stick-backsplash-buying-guide/c-1476477322980.htm

Yes, put the backsplash behind the range. There is no need to put it directly behind the fridge or microwave.

**Q: Which way to put the bathroom wood-floor grain?** *(in Flooring)*

I know it's common to run it the long way from the door entry in to the tub...but what if the hallway flooring outside the bathroom is running sideways perpendicular to it?

Thanks everyfor your help. I have to decide in the next 40 mins! LOL

A: Keep it horizontal, otherwise it will break the visual flow when the door is left open. Good luck!
