**★★★★★ — HU-766285652, March 2023**

> Joe is a great contractor works closely with the clients from start to finish , handles any problems that may arises. You start with a contractor and finish with a long term friend

**★★★★★ — HU-453883755, Feb. 2023**

> We had complex pool project that required the removal of existing patio and concrete, redesign of our yard, pool install and complete landscaping after the pool was complete. I am quite particular and Joe and team handled every issue or concern that I had throughout the project. Joe provided creative ideas along the way to maximize the finished product. our pool and yard is amazing. I would happily recommend Joe and Mario and team to my friends and families.

**★★★★★ — Joseph Cardwell, Dec. 2020**

> IOK&P did a fantastic job on our back yard project.  Joe and his crew kept us informed on the progress of the job and were easy to work with.  Joe and his crew were friendly and had some great ideas for our project.  We absolutely love our backyard now and look forward to having some summer fun in 2021.  Thanks
> again guys for your hard work and passion for making the customer happy.

**★★★★ — martha H, Dec. 2020**

> Hometown did a very nice job on our new flooring. The product and price were very competitive and good quality. They also did some new laminate overlay that turned our nice as well. I would use them another time.

**★★★★★ — R A, Dec. 2020**

> We are very satisfied with Idaho Outdoor Kitchen and Pools! Joe and his Team have been very attentive, professional and courteous. From the first "on site" visit appointment, Joe and his lovely assistant Brianna stood out from others by showing good listening skills, helping finding the right product for our size yard and lining up everything we would need to make the process quick and painless. Throughout the process, they were always there: checking on things, making sure his contractors were doing their part, fixing arising problems and issues, and continuing providing support and help to us. We've changed our design few times, and Joe was willing to listen and adjust as needed. He and his team were always there to answer questions and making sure things were moving along. The pricing was fair, and the payments schedule was easy and on time. We would definitely recommend Joe and his crew for any of your pool or remodel needs!

**★★★★★ — Chris Malensky, Dec. 2019**

> Working with Joe Bales and his crew, made me feel like family. I needed to have my house painted and he and his crew did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. I compared pricing with 2 others and he was right there with them. I couldn't be happier, with the work that was done.  At the same time I noticed issues with my roof and had Joe take a look at it. It was time for that was well, his price was within the range of 3 others that I had quotes from. His price, great attitude and smile won him the job!! I'm now in the process of selling my home and as he has in the past helped with "handiman" jobs, he is coming back to do a few more little things. He really is the greatest, not only to work with, but now I can call him my friend.

**★★★★★ — jana\_pharmhouse, Dec. 2019**

> We initially hired HOMETOWN USA to retile our master bathroom shower in 2015.  That turned out so well we had them re-roof the house, paint the exterior, replace skylights and install sun tunnels.  They could do it all.  All those upgrades really paid off when we sold the house a few years later.  When we bought a new house in 2018 we had HOMETOWN USA completely remodel the kitchen and master bathroom.  We also had them refinish the hardwood floors and paint the interior.  Everything turned out better than we could ever imagine!  Joe and his crew are great to work with.  The price was very competitive and the job was done in the time frame promised.  We recently bought a cabin and hired HOMETOWN USA to remodel the bathrooms and finish the basement.  Obviously we trust HOMETOWN USA to do all of our remodeling projects!

**★★★★★ — maureen palm, Aug. 2019**

> Hometown USA designed and remodeled our bathroom.  We were so stuck, as we don’t consider ourselves very creative. Hometown really helped us with ideas and it turned out beautiful. The tile work was impeccable! They were dependable and helped us stick to our budget as well. I will surely use them again!
