When we bought our home 12 years ago we knew it was a good fit for us and something we could grow into, but over the years our family grew, and within the last year we knew we needed to make some big changes. We interviewed several builders before beginning our home remodel - we're a family of 7 (5 children) - and one thing we needed was a builder that was willing to work with our family, be available and responsive - before, during and after the remodel - because we were going to have to live in our home while we remodeled. We found that builder in Steve Steele.
After gutting almost the entire downstairs portion of our home, including our entire kitchen, part of the master bedroom, walls in the family room and dining room, and the utility room, it's honestly a little surreal to tell you that we lived through the remodel, that it wasn't as awful as I thought it might be, and we're immensely enjoying the results! I credit all of that to Steve and the fantastic team he's assembled. Steve and his contractors made this experience as reasonable as they could; more than that, they went out of their way to make sure I was as comfortable as I, and our family, could be through this process. We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen, utility room, office area, open family room and open dining room! The spaces are beautiful, they're exactly what we wanted, and the process was reasonable and livable! Steve made sure we were prepared and knew what to expect, which was half the battle, and always took time to take our calls, reach out to other contractors when we needed something, and followed up with us throughout the process. We never felt that once we "signed on the dotted line" that Steve disappeared along with any interest in our satisfaction.
In conclusion, it was a fantastic experience for all of us, and we truly couldn't be more grateful or happier with the results. Any builder that can remodel around a house full of toddlers and teens while keeping the parents' sanity intact is worth his weight in gold! Our time spent remodeling with Steve was an investment in our home that has meant so much to our family!
