Home Remodelers in Mc Connell

“Mike was able to design us the kitchen we wanted and was very easy to work with. He asks for needs and wants and quickly implements the ideas into the plan with an excellent turnaround time. His services are professional, friendly and without pressure. His goal was to design us the best use of space. He was able to introduce us to our eventual builder and worked well with the entire subcontracted team.”

“We have worked with Pine Clearwood Architects on several relatively small remodeling projects over the past 15 years and I give a high recommendation. Denise Clearwood has a very consultative approach, makes smart functional space recommendations and has a fantastic design style. She is good at debating the pros and cons of options and trouble-shooting problems. We have never had any issues and are always happy with the finished result.”

“We used Jay Funkhauser to completely remodel two bathroooms and a kitchen and were so satisfied with his work that we hired him to install a finished attic and full bath the following year (2013). The things we like about him are (1) he comes up with creative, yet practical solutions to difficult design challenges (2) he is a good listener (3) he likes to do things the right way rather than cut corners (3) he communicates daily during the course of demolition and construction (4) for the most part, he hires very well qualified tradesman who are polite and respectful and (5) his pricing is reasonable, but not the lowest (see #3). For both the kitchen and the attic, he identified weaknesses in structural support members and took the time to reinforce floor joists and vertical support members. At the beginning of the first job, he asked us about the potential scope of all of the home renovation projects we had in mind. After each demolition phase, he installed extra piping and wiring in anticipation of future projects, which saved us a lot of money in the long run. His finished rooms are both beautiful and functional. His experience with granite helped us choose a tasteful blend of different stones which complement the surroundings. He was very helpful with picking out lighting fixtures and decorative hardware, but he always let us have the final decision. He has a good eye for color and style; he wasn't satisfied with the paint color we originally chose for a bathroom and, on his own, returned to the paint store twice to modify the color before he got what he wanted. As soon as we saw the final color, we know it was perfect. This is one of many such stories that illustrate his attention to detail and the pride he takes in a job well done.”

“I had the pleasure of working with DC Interiors and Renovations on a kitchen and dining room project. They transformed their client's space by remodelling the layout, new flooring, bold new color choices and stunning wallpaper. I worked with them to achieve their window covering dreams and add the finishing touches with fabric. DC Interiors and renovations are professional, innovative in their design and take care to make sure the client is happy every step of the way. Being their own general contractor makes it easy to oversee everything and ensure the project runs smoothly from start to finish. I look forward to working with them again.”

“I have worked with Bill on multiple projects, large and small, commercial and residential, over the last 10 years. He is skilled and innovative in design concepts, with great breadth in styles and materials, and organizational chops to keep it all on track.. One of our early projects was renovating a house in Europe when neither of us knew the language well, and he was not on-site--only working off drawings and pictures--until after the project was completed! The success of that project speaks to his ability to understand the project and the client's goals, and visualize what the space needs. The fact that I keep going back to Bill for design work is a testament to his design abilities and his interpersonal style.”

“Paul Knopp was the general contractor on an addition to our house that doubled its size. We feel that Paul put together a very high quality group of workers who built a very high quality structure. Paul worked with us as we made changes to the original plans along the way. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. Six years later we have had no issues with our addition!”

“This contractor was ON TIME, efficient, clean and courteous in providing the materials, crew and following the contract agreement as stated.”

“I am happy with my remodeling project by Embassy Construction. They stayed late the night before we had to move in to make sure everything was ready for us. My new kitchen is exactly how I imagined it.”

“I have been working with a general contractor over the past year on a large renovation project and have been very disappointed with the overall customer service, project management, communication, and cost of the contractor with whom I’ve worked. As a result, I decided to outsource the final finishing work to another contractor, in hopes of finding a better experience. I was looking for a contractor who could meet my expectations in terms of professionalism, quality service, schedule, fair pricing, reliability, and trust. I found that with Mike at Edge Construction. I contacted Mike at Edge Construction after hearing an advertisement on the radio. Mike responded promptly and offered flexible times to review my project and offer a quote (free of charge). My finishing project included installing baseboard and door jamb trim throughout my house, as well as installing several custom closet doors. During the consultation, Mike walked through my property asking questions about what I wanted, what was important to me (cost, material, timelines, etc.), described how the work would be done, and explained options for materials and methods to consider. Knowing that cost was a key consideration for me, Mike offered to unbundle his services to allow me to work directly with his recommended suppliers to keep my price at his cost (the tradeoff being that I took on the responsibilities of coordinating timing, material ordering, material defect management, etc.). Mike was able to offer me a rough estimate at the time of the walk through and followed up within a week with a formal quote. The quoting and contracting process was casual but comprehensive. Mike offered a low pressure buying experience, with information and options to meet my needs. The estimate overall was provided at a very fair price point, with some portions being significantly less expensive than other contractors. Something that differentiated Edge during the quoting process was while reviewing the project with me, Mike talked through the projects I was asking for directly, but also offered insight to additional areas with which he could assist to improve the work of the other contractor. What struck me is that while talking through those additional areas, Mike was very respectful of the other contractor’s work (complimenting some portions of it), as opposed to degrading it to build an “up sale” opportunity, but was straight forward in expressing his recommendation. During that discussion, he suggested that I bring those areas to the contractor’s attention for resolution, as that is what he would do if it “was his house”. Mike was most concerned with helping provide a quality complete end product that I would be happy with, regardless of who was doing the work. I ended up having Edge Construction address those recommended areas (which Mike agreed to do at a very low price), in addition to the original finish work Mike quoted for me. Even though I took on the responsibility of ordering materials and coordinating schedules from suppliers to reduce the overall project cost, Mike did assist me by offering a final review of the material order and even following up with the supplier at one point when the material delivery was delayed. Edge Construction remained flexible with their schedule and accommodated my needs very well during material procurement. Once the materials arrived and Edge Construction began their work, I was impressed. The team was very professional, friendly, cleaned up the job site each day, and even accommodated some small on-the-job requests I made. Mike checked in on the work with his team and remained a point of contact for me, to assist with any questions or needs I had along the way. The job took about 1.5 days longer than planned, but was primarily due to unanticipated complexity and additional time needed to do the job correctly. When those complexities and associated schedule extensions were identified, Mike communicated that to me to ensure my expectations were managed. Despite the slight extension to timeline and unexpected complexity, the project came in on budget. At the closure of the job, Mike walked through the work and addressed any questions I had. Mike was prompt to provide an invoice at project closure and flexible with my payment schedule. I was very satisfied with the quality of the work and project overall. I have since worked with Edge Construction on an additional finishing project (trimming the windows) and plan to work with Edge to trim my kitchen island. Edge has continued to provide good customer service and quality; while remaining responsive, flexible, fair, and well-priced through those other projects. I finally found a contractor I look forward to working with again in the future.”

“Marks workmanship is amazing! He is a quiet man who asks the important questions for your project. He met all my deadlines and his design elements are beautiful. I highly recommend him!”
