**★★★★★ — Janice Schermer, Oct. 2018**

**★★★★★ — Tyler Chinchen, Dec. 2017**

> From the initial contact with SDR thru the consultation, design, job costing, material selection, demolition, installation, and finish work, SDR delivered the highest level of professionalism and customer centered care. Our Project Manager and Designer were always a phone call away and never did I feel out of contact with them. They were always extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with throughout our 15 week project. Many times they exceeded my expectations (which are high). Our project was completed on time and on budget and the end result is an amazing kitchen and beautiful living space. Beyond pleased.

**★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2015**

> Square Deal Remodeling has been great to work with during every step of our remodel. They built an addition for a new master bedroom/bath plus relocated the original bathroom which has transformed our home into a much more enjoyable and functional space. The laundry was moved to the main floor from the basement and a new back door/porch were added giving wonderful access to our yard. They also resided the house and garage, replaced the roof and gutters, installed new windows, and added insulation to the exterior walls.
>
> From the initial meeting to the end of the project, Square Deal provided excellent communication and focused on meeting our needs. They were sensitive to our budget requirements and came up with solutions to achieve our goals while keeping the cost affordable. I especially appreciated the daily schedule they provided so that it was easy to understand the overall scope of the project as well as what to expect each day. Square Deal maintained close contact throughout the remodel and any concerns or questions we had were immediately addressed. All of the work done is of the highest quality and we are very pleased with the results.

**★★★★ — stan3inu, Jan. 2015**

> Remodeled a daylight basement that included a laundry room, ADA bathroom, office and living area.  Excellent finishes.  Repaired entry ceiling and replaced master shower.  Excellent finishes.  Great crew to work with.

**★★★★★ — Sarah Porter, Nov. 2013**

> Square Deal executed an extensive kitchen, family room, dining room, and living room remodel for us. Karen Sedwick designed a space for our family that is beautiful, functional, and easy to use. Every step of the process was collaborative and I appreciate all her attention to detail, which has resulted in a kitchen that is incredibly functional with no wasted space.
>
> The Square Deal team was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. They consistently arrived on time, cleaned up every day, went out of their way to look after our pets, and went the extra mile every time we had a wacky request.
>
> The end result is a new living space that is not only functional, but also beautiful and perfectly suits our family's needs and style.

**★★★★★ — tatkins84, Oct. 2013**

>
> The second project was a complete remodel of the master bathroom. This project was completed ahead of schedule.
>
> The final project was the addition of a large closet in a bonus room.
>
> All three projects were handled professionally, timely, and within budget. Working with Square Deal and their subcontractors was easy and very enjoyable. We would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality craftsmanship and professional detail from start to finish.

**★★★★★ — tonyhaas, Aug. 2012**

> I felt that the people from Square Deal did everything they could to make this experience as smooth and as inconveniencing as possible.  They were straight-forward and honest, pleasant to work with, eager and helpful with suggestions, and repronsive to my inquieries.  I would happily use them again.  Tony

**★★★★★ — suesell, Aug. 2012**

> We have worked with Square Deal on 3 remodel projects, and after the first, never considered working with any other remodel company. They are forthright, honest, intensely creative and so easy to work with! They are meticulous in ensuring the client understands schedule, budget and steps, all of which they adhere to. Any project has its surprises and issues, but Square Deal takes full responsibility for managing all to a successful resolution. No problem was ever mine. Designer Karen Sedwick worked closely with us to lead the creation of our incredible kitchen focusing on both form and function so that it  surpasses our everyday needs while integrating beautifully into our 1927 English-style cottage. Similarly our spacious downstairs bathroom retains a period style but works for this century! Upstairs Karen and our fantastic Square Deal team overcame space constraints to add a gorgeous master bath. Did I say they are always on budget and time? Totally awesome.

**★★★★★ — ltgreger, Aug. 2012**

> Our experience with Square Deal couldn't have been better. The initial meeting, the detailed calendar for our project, the budget outline, the design help, and bringing the final design to life were all handled professionally and with skill. Every member of the team was respectful, personable, and extremely capable. The Square Deal team paid attention to all of the little details and made sure that everything was done right. We were able to get in contact with the owner and the project manager easily during our remodel. We were kept informed every step of the way. The result is a beautiful, well-designed, and properly functioning kitchen. We are thrilled with our remodeled kitchen!

**★★★★★ — lehs, Aug. 2012**

> Square Deal Remodeling not only rebuilt my kitchen, they crafted a beautiful result.  Each phase of the project was perfectly done with care and attention to every detail. Ed, the project manager, was there every day answering my questions and making sure the job was done on schedule. I was very very pleased with the entire crew, from the designer to the craftsmen, and my new kitchen gives me great joy and pride.  I especially wish to thank my designer Heidi who was there with me every step of the way.  Her expertise in colors, textures and function guaranteed complete satisfaction.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Just wanted to say** *(in Photo Questions)*

I like and can appreciate this kitchen!  Not everyone would be able to pull off the colors, but I think you did this well.  It looks like a fun and happy kitchen!

A: Thanks everyone for your kind comments!  This was a fun space to design and it complimented the colorful personality of the owners perfectly. Cheers!

**Q: Can I use your image in my blog page?Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Sure go ahead, thanks for asking first.

**Q: Oven?** *(in Photo Questions)*

How does someone in a wheelchair use the oven?  It seems too high.

A: Hello - In this particular case during the design process we were able to determine our clients range of motion and ability while sitting in his wheelchair.  The oven height was looked at closely to make sure it was safe and comfortable to use for all occupants of the home while also meeting code requirements.

**Q: Floor tiles** *(in Photo Questions)*

It appears that floor has 3 different types of tiles. Can you share the name, brand, color and material of the floor tiles?

TIA
MS

A: Hello - This is what is shown in the picture: The dark brown
tile is Coffee \#2784. The light yellowish tile is Butter \#2795. The
field tile (the main body color between the light and dark colors) is
Calico \#2713. I think Calico is more of a beige color, although it may
look blueish in the photo. You can see the actual tiles here:
