We had a quote from Mike and were told how our project was going to be done and the cost... The project was not done to the way he said it would be. We are still having problems and Mike is no lo get with the company. The price also went up and we were never given anything in writing. Buyer beware!

Very disappointing. They charged us hundreds of dollars for a preliminary remodeling plan and came in 41% over budget. We discussed our fixed budget and told them exactly what we wanted in the project. They took our money and supplied us with rough plans for a project we can't afford. When we confronted them about this they basically told us too bad.

Extremely poor quality contractor. They sell you a story about how great their work is, and then turn around and subcontract all the work to the lowest priced workers they can find, including crews they have never worked with, all this while providing no supervision at the project site. Avoid this company at all costs.
