    Kitchen Remodel

    Felt comfortable right off the bat with Frank. I got 5 quotes and although Mr Porch's price was not the lowest nor the highest, it was well worth the price. Frank was prompt with his responses and provided a detailed and accurate proposal which stayed consistent throughout the job.

    This was one of the smoothest contractor jobs I've completed. All materials were high quality, workmanship was fantastic and the worksite was left clean after every working day. The job was completed on time, on budget and exceeded my expectations.

    The quality of the work is second to none. The supporting structure which is out of sight was done very professionally and structurally sound. The miter cuts and joints were extremely clean and accurate. My deck will outlast certain parts of the house for sure.

    Frank sent a quality crew that did a full roof replacement for our home after our original singles were damaged in a wind storm this year. He estimated the work fairly and gave us easy to follow pricing and terms.

    Mr Porch came out to my house, gave me a fair estimate on fixing my porch. A couple of days later their crew of three very, very, very courteous and professional guys arrived to do the job.
