Remodeling a home involves a lot of decisions.
Budget?
Design?
Appliances?
Right down to choosing the placement of the light switch plates.
The most important decisions to make, however, is hiring the right contractor. My husband and I were so fortunate that we chose Erin Kennedy and her ATP (All Things Possible) team for the addition and remodel of our Newport Beach, California home.
From the very first meeting with Erin, it was clear she was direct, honest, and conscientious. We interviewed two other contractors and the reason we choose Erin was we felt we could trust her. After a walk-through of our house and listening to our dreams and desires, Erin prepared a budget and a plan of action. This is where the proverbial rubber hits the road and Erin wanted to be sure that we were prepared for the costs of building our dream home. It was instantly clear that Erin was as concerned about how well we spent our money as we were. She even did a cost analysis of our neighborhood to make sure we were making a sound investment in our remodel.
From the first day of demolition to the final move in day, Erin was a constant source of reliability, problem solving, and creative out-of-the-box thinking; not to mention, a sound, sounding bored. With a remodel you never really know when you are getting into until you are in it. We inherited some unforeseen problems with our house that could have delayed the project or cost money. Erin found a way to deal with even the more difficult problems in the most timely and cost effective manner.
In the end, we could not be happier with our dream home or with the job that ATP did for us. Erin went above and beyond our expectations, even filling our refrigerator with waters for our move in day. After moving in, she continues to be available for questions that come up or for those inevitable little adjustments that need be made.
Honestly, we were a little sad when our project was completed because seeing Erin everyday was such a pleasure. She’s not only a top-notch contractor but also a solid human being. She’s smart, experienced, conscientious and caring; and above all, an amazing value for the hard work that she puts into her projects.
