“The project that EBCON Co. did for me wrapped up about a week ago. I thought they did an excellent job. The project was to design and build an ensuite addition to my house for my disabled sister, who will be moving in with me in a couple of months. I hired EBCON for the project as they had done my home remodel when I moved into my current house 10 years ago. I was very happy with that project and pleased that several of their key personnel and subcontractors were the same as for my previous project. The current project consisted of a bedroom/studio, bath, hallway/study, walk-through clothes closet, lots of storage space, and small outdoor patio with wheelchair ramp. As my sister is an artist and art teacher, we asked for a design that provided high walls for hanging her paintings and extra space in the bedroom/studio for her to paint and potentially teach a few students. The design process went very well. The designer worked constructively with us and made numerous trips to tile, stone, and carpet stores with us to select materials. We greatly appreciated the detailed plan skeches she generated, some of which showed my sister’s paintings up on the walls in her bedroom/studio! Challenges, including access to the addition through existing bedrooms and integrating the design with the existing house, were solved well. ADA guidelines for accessibility were strictly followed for the design and materials. We – and all our family and friends - love the design and how it has turned out. The construction work was very high quality – EBCON has very high standards for the work done on their projects, including for the smallest details. The EBCON team and the sub-contractors they brought in were great to work with through all the stages, including design, construction, and completion. In addition to weekly on-site progress meetings (which included the project manager, superintendent, designer, and often the head of the company), I was kept informed on a daily basis about what was happening and the timing for next steps. EBCON staff were always on site while work was being done, and they were always reachable for conversations. Overall we are very happy with the project. I would definitely use EBCON again were I to have another project, and I recommend them without reservation to anyone planning a large or small home construction or renovation project.”

“Kenny Goodman has remodeled two houses for us and I recommend highly. He listened to our needs, examined the challenges and came up with designs that did exactly what was needed. He's easy to work with, accessible, smart, and has great taste. Kenny has just remodeled our small, craftsman style house. It lacked storage space and had a layout with the bathrooms and master bedroom didn't work for us. The kitchen needed more cabinets and usable counter space. Kenny redesigned the kitchen, powder room and master suite with walk in closet and master bath, making every square inch work. This was crucial as we were downsizing from a much larger house. I walk into the kitchen in our new home now, and it's so beautiful, I can't believe I live here. In 2007, he remodeled our earlier home which was 2600 sq ft. That was a major job with some big challenges because it was an older home. He had to get rid of two, old dangerous staircases and rebuilt one beautiful one, took down walls to create a great room adjacent to the kitchen, created a beautiful master suite, and office and a roomy, functional laundry room that miss very much. When we first started working with us, he told us everything should have its place. I've never forgotten that. He certainly accomplished that for us, twice. Oh- and our contractors on both jobs also speak highly of him.”

“Adam and his team provide outstanding support and coordination. His designs consider the three keys to a quality project that make his work stand apart. I believe these three keys to success to be practical design with consideration to anthropometrics and the daily use of the space; coordination of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, finishes and structural requirements for a smooth building process; and a keen awareness of cost early in the design process. Adam has become one of our key design partners, helping our Clients put their ideas on paper and working with them through the decisions critical to project success. The thing I appreciate most about Adam is that he is personally involved in the entire process including the preparation of construction documents. He is always careful to be open to feedback and carefully consider the implications of decisions as they are made. A great team member!”
