Tom and his team remodeled my master bathroom and I started by showing Tom all of my saved pictures on Houzz! He took all of my inspiration photos, my ideas and his know-how to create a plan for my master bath and I am very pleased with the outcome. The photos I am attaching were taken just prior to final completion.

It was a great experience. As an interior designer I count on contractors and trades people to make my vision a reality, to look good and work well. Thomas Patrick Walls Company, led by Tom Walls, did just that and more. They were insightful in the planning process drawing on their extensive experience renovating old houses. As we ordered fixtures and materials they were helpful in recommending trusted sources. And once the work began they were great. Their crew was respectful of the family who lived in the house during renovation, they were talented, on time every day, and able to anticipate the impact of their every decision and effort. That ability to prepare and look ahead made all the difference in a smooth running job. And they were not done until the job was 110% complete. It was really wonderful working with them and I look forward to doing it again.

Our project was a complete kitchen remodel -- total gut with ceiling and wall removal. The project went extremely well. Tom Walls and his crew are professionals. Tom promptly responded to our request for a quote. The quote was clear and thorough. Several different drawings were provided for us to choose from. The estimate for completion was from 4 to 6 weeks. The majority of work was completed in 5 weeks. The workers were hard working and responsible. All were craftsmen in their own right especiall the crew chief, Adam. They worked non-stop from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., cleaning up after themselves every night. TPW Construction will probably not be your lowest quote, but if you expect a quality job, a contract that's adhered to, and conscientious workers, you should hire this company. We will definitely hire them again.

We hired them to do a complete remodel of our basement. They tore out everything down to the studs, redesigned the layout, added a new bathroom, and totally remade the space. During the project we found some problem areas which required also tearing out and rebuilding a first floor bathroom. All electrical in basement was replaced as was most of the plumbing and drain pipes. Also replaced glass block windows and installed heating system in the area. Basically everything was redone and made new.
We had previously planned to go with another contractor but since we have an old house we knew we would run into some problems which would increase the cost. We were concerned with what the total price would be on the project. Talking to Tom it just seemed that he had a better handle on what needed to be done and his price was significantly lower to start than the other contractor. We went with Tom based on other recommendations. We are so pleased that we did. They started the job when they said they would and arrived every day when they said they would be here. They were consistently here Monday through Saturday and finished the job earlier than scheduled. They tore out everything in the basement and carted it all away. We did not even need to have a dumpster which was a bonus for us as we had just finished our driveway and did not want it torn up. In addition, they did not require us to lose our washer and dryer, but instead moved it around as needed in the basement so that I could do laundry on the weekend. This was not only a great convenience, but also demonstrates their attention to the details and their willingness to do everything they can to help in the process. Whenever there was any issue they would always say it was not a problem and they would take care of it. I wanted a light switch moved after it was installed and was worried that it would be a hassle, but they just said no problem, and moved it (at no additional cost). There were several other things like that where they made changes for us with no problem. I found them extremely easy to work with. In addition, they did wonderful work. The bathroom they installed is great (nicer than the other ones in our house). We also had them build some shelves for us and they did a beautiful job. I can not praise their work enough. When we had checked the references Tom gave us prior to hiring him, we joked that he must have given us all his relatives to call as they were so glowing in their reviews, but now I know what they meant. This was a project we were not looking forward to, and it was done quickly, on budget, and came out much nicer than we had expected. We will definately use this company in the future if we do other projects.

We have been in our home for 8 years. When it was built in 2002, the bathroom had the typical shower, with a very large soaker tub next to it. Our soaker tub had never been used and it was our desire to have a large walk-in shower. We contacted more than one contractor, and all of the costs for construction labor came in about the same. Thomas Patrick Walls Co. was the only company that contacted us after they quoted the project to see what we thought of the pricing, design, etc. Tom Walls met with both myself and my husband, got our ideas and gave us his. We were presented with a proposal and sketches a few days after this first meeting. It was very obvious by their estimate that they are very detail oriented. The estimate was in writing and spelled out everything that this company would do for the cost and exactly what items we, the homeowner were responsible for. We did meet with Tom, his foreman, Adam and designer Stephanie multiple times to tweak the design and to be sure that we were all on the same page before staring construction. During construction any questions that arose were quickly addressed and answered. Stephanie set appointments and met us at the cabinet maker, tile store, granite mfg. and granite processor. My husband and I like nice things, however, we are not the best at putting a room together. Stephanie was a Godsend. Once we found the granite piece that we went nuts over; Stephanie was able to direct us to choices that complimented the granite as well as ultimately gave the room the "wow" factor we were looking for. The choices we made with her direction, would never have happened had we been left on our own. An option that was offered by Tom and something that we never considered, was to heat the bathroom floor. It sounded a bit silly to me at first; we did however, choose to go with this option and I can't tell you how happy we are
We were under a time constraint personally because of other things going on in our lives. Tom and his crew were very accommodating. We were kept informed as to exactly what would take place and when. The project was completed on schedule and they did exceptional work. We now have a magnificent master bath with this finished project being everything we had dreamed of. Adam, Tom's foreman watched the job carefully and never hesitated to come by our home in the evening, if we had a question. He was always reachable and responsive. The crew could not have been more polite and caring. From what we see, they are very skilled. These workmen have apparently been chosen very carefully. Tom Walls Co. should be very proud. Tom's team brought the job in right on schedule and delivered an absolutely magnificent product. We couldn't be happier. We've discussed it and there is nothing that we would change. It is our opinion that others looking to hire a qualified and caring contractor, will not go wrong in choosing this company.

The project included a total reconstruction of kitchen, dining room and two bathrooms.
I contacted the company via email. Tom wasn't available, but his office manager, Jim, contacted me within 24 hours to thank me for my interest and tell me that Tom was out of town but would contact me within 2 days. He did as promised from that first day and throughout the project. I could not have asked for a better experience. Workmen were on site every day and they were very pleasant. My comfort was their priority and I was inconvenienced as little as possible with a project of this size. From Tom's and Adam's design and technical expertise, I feel very lucky to have found them. Entire demolition and construction took a little over two months, and I was extremely satisfied. I love everything!!
Five years later, I still love everything -- Tom and his crew did a wonderful job!!!

TPW Company performed several things for us: Total gut and remodel of a bathroom, reconfiguration of upstairs hallway including vaulted ceilings, new cabinetry and installation of a fireplace in the family room, installation of several windows, additional trim molding work in several bedrooms, refinishing of a small section of wood flooring in the newly expanded hallway, installation of new railings and banisters on stairway, painting of family room, foyer, bathroom and hallway, installation of new can lighting in several rooms and installation of new dormer on garage roof.
Tom and his crew did a fantastic job! From start to finish the work was completed in a professional manner. Adam, the project manager, and the crew would arrive every morning at 7 AM to give an update and ask questions on specific issues. Plus Adam gave some great insight and ideas about what to do when an issue arose. The construction crew themselves were great - excellent detailed quality work. Plus they worked most Saturdays to keep the job going. We really can't say enough about the quality work, the good communication and overall stress free process in getting the work done. A couple of other points about the team - Adam was great - he really wants to make sure that you are satisfied with the work..it's really a reflection of the pride he feels about his job. Stephanie the interior designer did a great job of communicating ideas and really encapsulating the look and feel of each of the rooms that we were trying to create. And of course - Tom the owner - great guy, professional and really wants to make his customers happy. We believe the price was fair and the service was great...the only glitch we had was there was a slight delay in completing the cabinets and finishing the family room work...not a big deal but it added about 1 1/2 weeks to the project. One final point is that we have used other contractors for other work in our home (new kitchen remodel) and by far, Tom and his team are the best. We have recommended TPW to neighbors and friends.

We have hired TPW Company several times and have been extremely pleased with their work. A couple of the projects include: finishing our basement with a family room, kitchenette, full bath and laundry room (framing walls, electrical, gas, plumbing, drywall, trim, painting, tile and grout.); A year later, when village sewers flooded our basement we called them again to cut out the lower level of drywall, replace it and repaint. We have also had them replace a large bay window in the front of our house, which included trim work and painting. The guys are very professional, thorough and respectful. We have and will hire them again.

Kitchen remodel including new floors, cabinets, electrical, minor plumbing, counter tops, tile backsplash and lighting

It could not have gone any better. We mostly knew what we wanted, but Tom and his designer Stephanie were extremely helpful. The crew was professional and really knew what they were doing. They worked so hard to get the job finished quickly. They put up with our dog and kids and never had a complaint about anything. They cleaned-up every day and were very considerate. Can't say enough about how great they were to work with!

The Thomas Patrick Walls company remodeled our kitchen and two bathrooms and have done numerous other projects on our house over the last five years.
Our experiences have always been great. Here are the things we like. 1) Tom is very easy to get hold of. He either answers the phone immediately when you call him, or he gets back to you very quickly. This is extremely important when you are doing a big project like remodeling since there are always things that come up which you need to discuss. 2) Tom and his foreman Adam listen to what you say and are very easy to talk with. They genuinely want to do make you happy by doing what you want, as opposed to some contractors that want to do things their way and are resistant to your requests. If something comes up which you did not expect or intend, Tom and Adam will change it to what you want, no questions asked. 3) Tom and Adam's crew do very high quality work. From basics like plumbing, electrical, and drywall to more visible things like tile laying and carpentry and installing woodwork, everything they did for us was well done. 4) Tom and Adam's crew are respectful of your house. When they enter the house, the first thing they do is take off their shoes until they have put down protective paper or pads. When they work in a room, they are very careful to cover and protect the elements of the room (floors, light fixtures, etc) which they are not working on. They also use plastic to try to seal off their work area to minimize the dust in the rest of the house. This attitude is quite refreshing since many contractors don't show the same respect. 5) Once they start your project, they work six days a week everyday until it is done (provided that all of the things you need for the project are at hand ) 6) Tom's prices are very fair, especially in light of the high level of customer service and high quality of work that you get. Having dealt with a lot of contractors over the years, we feel fortunate to have discovered Tom and Adam for our big remodeling projects.

Complete gut/rehab of kitchen and portion of living room. Gutted kitchen including floorboards, removed one wall and portions of another wall, removed fireplace from living room. Installed new headers, walls, hardwood floor, plumbing, electrical, cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, heating ducts, appliances, lighting.
Went extremely well. Started on time and finished when estimated. Tom (the owner) was there frequently. His foreman was there every day checking on the work, discussing details with us, etc. Crew started by 7am every day including Saturday and worked hard the entire time. Always cleaned up at the end of the day. They built temporary walls around the construction area to reduce the mess and allow us some privacy. The project went very fast - 90% of the work was done in less than 8 weeks. We were expecting it to last months and months but it didn't - they were continually moving. Very happy with the outcome and the professionalism of the crew.
In addition to the kitchen we have hired them again to install new windows and to gut/rehab basement.
