“Woody and the team at Post Services Inc showed a great level of care and skill. From the talented workers who built it to the project leaders who looked after every small thing, each person did more than was needed to give top-notch quality. The makeover of our kitchen not only changed how the entire first floor looks but it also maximized the space, giving us more storage than we ever thought we could have. From recommended appliances to custom cabinets and shelving down to the quartz countertops, every part was picked with care to make it look good and work well. The finished kitchen goes beyond what we hoped for.”
