We love their project management portal for tracking materials, vendors, subcontractors, schedule and changes — all vital elements in bringing so many moving pieces together. > > When our project hit snags (they all do, with weather, inspections, and material delays since everyone's renovating these days), the team was responsive and made adjustments as necessary to keep the project moving. > > And, we absolutely love our new space. It breathes new life into our 1960s brick-ranch home, enhancing how we begin and end each day. **★★★★★ — rngroves, April 2020** > The Idea Co. has been our go-to for minor projects and major renovations alike. Whatever the task, the Idea Co. team will give their best -- the size of the task doesn't matter. In recent years, our favorite major renovations were the kitchen and guest bathroom. The kitchen, in particular, was a long time in coming and took much planning. The Idea Co. was with us all the way through the entire process -- from the first rough sketch to the idealized final project. Every team member and sub-contractor was great to work with and gave us the confidence that all would be done well. The bathroom project wasn't on the same scale as the kitchen (which was roughly a 1/3 of the house being remodeled), but every detail was given the needed attention, professionalism, and expertise. Needless to say, when the next project comes to mind, we'll give them a call. **Comment from The Idea Company:** > Thank you, Rhonda! > It is always a pleasure to work with you! Your ideas always come together with such style and class! **★★★★★ — K Burrell, April 2020** > I hired The Idea Company to repair damage to our hardwood floors after our refrigerator leaked. They replaced and stained the damaged hardwoods and refinished the adjacent hardwoods to match. They did a fantastic job! Not only does the floor look great, the Idea Company was excellent to work with. They moved all of our furnishings out of the area and replaced them carefully. They also cleaned thoroughly when they were done. They communicated clearly and the workers were professional. We liked them so much that we have hired them to do other smaller jobs since then and have recommended them to friends and neighbors. I highly recommend this company! **Comment from The Idea Company:** > Thank you so much! > We enjoyed getting to know you all and work with you! **★★★★★ — Linda K, April 2020** > The Idea Company remodeled our home and we couldn't be happier with the results! We get so many compliments on our house; we never imagined it could be so beautiful! We had a great experience with The Idea Compnay and I would highly recommend them to others (and I have!) **Comment from The Idea Company:** > Thanks, Linda! > It was really fun to see all of the changes to your home come together! We appreciate you all and are happy that you are enjoying your home. **★★★★★ — Sarita and Ben Chourey and Montgomery, Feb. 2020** > We were happy with the initial meeting, planning, component-selection process and work. The app helped us stay informed and in touch. The bathroom is just what we were hoping for. **Comment from The Idea Company:** > Thank you Sarita and Ben! > We enjoyed meeting and working with you! **★★★★★ — mcmatlock57, Feb. 2020** > If you want a professional, courteous, cost effective and timely renovation, hire The Idea Co. We have used them 7 times in 20 years. The scheduling and Co-Construct software makes following the project easy and simple to understand. They are fantastic! **Comment from The Idea Company:** > Thank you, Mr. Matlock! > We love working with you and Mrs. Matlock! **★★★★★ — Lin Findlay, Feb. 2020** > The Idea Company was an A+++ company to work with. Koko was great to work with, from start to finish. He took my vision and made it happen! Every single one of their workers were courteous, professional and continually communicated with me during the entire project. Josh was excellent to work with. I knew exactly what to expect and who was going to show up when, each and every time. I have not one complaint. The room came out beautiful and the service that was provided far exceeded any expectations that I would have had. Working with builders in the past had me prepared for some bumps in the road. There were none. Thank you Koko and Josh and all your workers! **Comment from The Idea Company:** > Thank you, Lin! > We enjoyed working with you and are very happy that you are enjoying your new room! **★★★★★ — eldodd, March 2015** > We have used this company many times and Koko has always met or exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this company! Looking forward to having them do more work for us! ## Selected projects - [Total Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/total-kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~7184771) - Location: Anderson, SC - Photos: 18 - Description: Functionality was the key to this total kitchen renovation.
