Norman Restorations, Inc.

It took a long time to complete 0ur bathroom renovations due to supply delays, but the results were well worth the the wait. The quality of the workmanship was excellent . His crew was courteous ,friendly and efficient. The staff of all the venders Chris recommended were easy to work with. Chris's knowledge, suggestions and attention to detail was much appreciated. The bathroom looks great.

Chris Norman the Owner of Norman Restoration, Inc. recently did a complete 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house remodeling project for my husband and I. From start to finish the entire Norman Restoration team, was a blessing to work with and with Chris at the helm was even more pleasurable. The project can in on budget and on time which was great do to the size of our project. I would highly recommend Norman Restorations. Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. McSwieney.

I hired Chris to manage two renovation projects in a historic building in downtown Savannah, GA. Working with Chris Norman started off good, but ended badly. Chris overpromised and underdelivered. At times he was dishonest about the work that was done and did not seem to have access to any real professionals. His team did not take pride in their work and even did damage to my condos. On average, things had to be done 2-3 times before they were done correctly. This includes painting, installation of lights, sinks, cabinetry, tile work, plumbing, electrical, etc. Whenever I held Chris accountable for the poor craftsmanship of his crew, he blamed anything and everyone else. He never took accountability for not properly supervising my projects and his lack of oversight co$t me big time. In the end, Chris took two trips to Guatemala, finished 3 months behind schedule, and went over our initial budget. Not only did I pay for the mistakes, but I also lost money due to the carrying costs associated with not being able to rent my condos for 3 additional months. Chris had problems with almost everyone he worked with. My neighbors, the building manager, and Chris's own employees complained about his temperament and lack of oversight. Several of his people quit and I played the role of mediator more than a couple times. When I interviewed Chris, I asked him about his ability to pull necessary permits for any plumbing and electrical and he assured me he would pull all necessary permits. In the end, I had to actually threaten to turn him and his electrician over to the city because they had not pulled permits or scheduled the required inspection for rewiring one of my units. I asked Chris before I hired him if he was familiar with dealing with older buildings that might have lead based paint. He told me he was licensed to handle that and his crew would seal the doorways/ windows as well as use a ventilation system. I found out from infuriated neighbors, as well as the building manager that Chris’s guys were grinding paint without ventilation and that all the dust was coating the hallways walls, floors, trim, and ledges of the building's communal spaces. Dust was also on the exterior balconies and windows of the units beneath mine. Lead or no lead, dust needs to be managed and Chris’s handling of this was unacceptable and not what we agreed to when I hired him. Towards the end as my trust/ confidence in Chris dwindled, I hired a plumber to address a major issue that would have flooded my downstairs neighbors' unit. Chris said he would pay for it, but only paid half of what it cost to fix his plumber's blunders. I also had to repair and secure all of my 100 year old windows, which Chris's crew further damaged and degraded. I could go on, but there is a character limit for reviews on Houzz. The bottom line - I expected my contractor's standards to be no lower than what he would expect in his own home and I do not recommend Norman “Restorations".

Norman Restorations replaced our cedar siding; painted our fascia and soffit; and stripped the paper from and patched and painted our livingroom, dining room, and stairway walls. Jeff Norman is considerate, responsive, and reliable -- he completed all work promptly and was eager to make us happy.

Norman Restorations did an amazing job renovating our home. We had them install laminate flooring throughout, paint the dining, kitchen and living rooms along with 2 hallways, and paint kitchen cabinets. It was a big job and it was handled professionally and with care. The same crew arrived on time each day and worked a full day leaving our home in good condition so that we were still able to function. The owner checked on the job daily and ensured that everything was to our satisfaction, and it was. The job was scheduled to go for 10 days but they finished in 7 days. The quality of the work is excellent. The house looks beautiful and we are very happy with the outcome. This contractor is very reliable and treated the house as if someone lives here. The entire experience was very positive. I highly recommend them.

I have a house, another contractor was working on for over a year. It had been totally gutted down to the studs and new sheetrock put back up with some wiring and plumbing work. Needless to say I was almost out of Insurance money and hardly anything to show for it. Chris and his crew are just great. They cam in and seen what had to be done and got right to it. They even uncovered some things that were done wrong and corrected them. It cost me an extra money that Chris could not see in the beginning. But I thank God his crew found the problem. I am going to sell the house when it is done. I am the type of person that treats people the way I want to be treated. I could not live with myself if something happen to the people in the house after I sold it knowing it had a problem. I am the same way in my Automotive Repair Business. Fix it as if your Mother was driving it or in this case living in it. I would recommend Chris and his crew, I just wish I knew about them at the beginning of this project. As the old saying goes. "It's not good to hire family" Thanks Chris and the crew for making my house a show place.

The best home improvement work that I have ever had done. Norman Restoration did an outstanding job of converting my bonus room to a home theater. The quality of workmanship was excellent. When they said that they were coming on a certain day and time, they came on time every time. They also designed and built a custom bar complete with granite top counters as part of my home theater. Norm and his team were very professional and responsive. I would definitely recommend them to others.
