Getting quotes for remodels can be a stressful process. Seeing eye to eye on how you want the…read moredesign to be done can be challenging and stressful as well. Throw in sub contractors coming to your house everyday and you might as well guarantee that life during the remodel will definitely change. However, JR's attention to our style, needs, and wants made this all the more positive. Including that, his quote was honest and fair. He was able to bring out my wife's ideas to fruition. On top of all that, the crews that he brought into our home for the duration of 2 months were hard working, honest, and generally nice people. Although there were some minor hiccups, as this is common when you are doing as much work as we did, JR was able to relieve that stress through his prompt communication and immediate remedy to fix the issue. Overall, JR puts his full effort and is ALL in to please his customers. His advice on the design of our remodel from suggested paint colors to types of tiles were stellar. Daily communication and reliability were definitely exhibited. We knew what to expect because the plan was always shared daily and executed. The schedule of completion was right on target as predicted from day one. I've heard horror stories from friends when they did remodel work at their home, and I can truly say that there are no serious horror stories to report here. I 100% recommend Jamie's Kitchen & Bath for your remodeling needs!

From the moment we reached out to Jamie's Kitchen for an estimate to the final days of our kitchen…read moreremodel, they were nothing short of professional and responsive. We knew immediately we had found the right person when we met JR in person and did the walk through. JR helped guide us through the process of picking our appliances, cabinets, tile, floors, and countertops. His suggestions were always helpful and he always helped send us in the right direction. We are not design experts, so it helped having someone with such amazing expertise and experience. Their team was professional, courteous, and clean. Always on time and quick, yet proficient. As tiny problems popped up, JR and team were always responsive and came immediately to solve them. In addition, JR would send text updates almost every day with pictures, even on the weekends! We still can't believe how flawlessly everything came together. In the end, this is our dream kitchen and it came out better than we could've imagined! Thank you Jamie's Kitchen and Bath.

When he inspected two different wooden balconies at my home, I saw and heard that he was experienced, professional, knowledgeable and that he was absolutely the right person for the job. The work that he and his helper did was excellent through and through, and it was very fair in terms of pricing. I should add that my home is built on a slope, so Ron was obliged to work three stories above ground wearing a safety harness. When he completed the job, it was on schedule, budget and improved the look and strength of both balconies. I recommend him highly, and I would not hesitate to call him again for a repair job.

He hung new doors, installed moldings throughout several rooms in my home, and did such a beautiful job installing a custom made front door!! He also completed a small deck that was left incomplete by a previous carpenter who didn't have the skills for the job. I called a few different contractors for my projects and I was so happy I chose Ron.

I'm not sure where to even start with my review because my experience with Panther has been at a…read morelevel I've not experienced even with some of the best contractors I've worked with. The consistent ease of communication with Mike via text regarding all work is truly next-level. I've never had an easier time working with someone. That's the part I don't know how to put into words. And then in addition to the communication, the quality of work Panther offers is extremely high. They can do so much more outside of just painting! I had an exterior door frame issue that multiple contractors had tried to address, and Panther was the only one who actually fixed the problem. The quality of their work both aesthetically and functionally is top-notch. I have some smaller projects I didn't hire them for because they are more expensive, and sometimes I just need cheaper relief less perfection, but the reason they're more expensive is because of their perfect quality. I'm to the point now where no matter what the project, even if I'm not sure it's something they can do or not, I check in with them first to see if it's something I can hire them for. Seriously, I don't know how Mike can communicate so easily and gracefully. That's so uncommon for contractors. Even the best ones don't do it as well as he does. I still don't have words for it, other than to give a huge thank you.

I got 4 different bids for my exterior house painting and they were all around the same price. I…read moreultimately chose Panther Paint because I have an older home from the 1930s, and they seemed to be more experienced working with houses of that age. Ivan came out for the initial assessment and spent a good amount of time answering all of my questions, which I really appreciated. My house also had peeling stucco and some rotting wood trim, and they were comfortable assessing those issues and explaining how they would repair them. Vitaly and another crew member worked on the house and were fantastic. They repaired the peeling stucco and rotting wood trim before painting, and everything was done cleanly and professionally. They kept the workspace very tidy, put all tools away at the end of each day, and did a thorough cleanup afterward, including all paint scrapings and debris. They worked quickly and were also surprisingly quiet (I.e. no loud music or constant chatter). The whole job took about 10 days total, with a small delay due to rain. Communication throughout the process was great. Mike (the owner) was very responsive via text, provided regular updates, and was genuinely nice and personable. The team was also happy to accommodate extra requests like painting the mail slot, chimney, and changing the door color, all without any surprise costs. I even bought a new porch light to replace my old one, with the intention to swap it out myself after they were done, but Vitaly offered to install it for me too :) Overall, the paint job was very neat and professionally done. I'm really happy with the results and would definitely recommend Panther Paint, especially if you have an older home that needs some repair work in addition to painting.

MJs is a great place to go for your kitchen remodel. While communication was a little challenging…read moreto start, once we exchanged emails and photos and measurements... we were off to the races. Manuel is fantastic! We talked a couple times and got an initial idea of what we wanted to do. Then he came to measure and talk a bit more so we could refine the project. Manuel provided us with renderings and a quote that was well within our budget. We are not starting our project just yet because of timing but once we say yes, I'll come back to talk about that experience. So far, MJ has been fantastic to quote us and get us started on our kitchen remodel. I recommend them with no reservations!

We worked with MJ to redo a built in cabinet in the main living area of our house as well as a…read morereplacement of a mantle. From the beginning Manuel was challenging to get ahold of (no responses on emails mostly). Work started a week later than we had agreed on and Initially the project was supposed to take 3 days - demo, install, finishing- and it was suggested that it could be done in one week. The project started September 25 2024 and was finally finished November 15, almost 2 months. During demo we had to ask them to stop because they did not tape off the space and spread huge amounts of dust throughout our house that we ended up needing to do lead and aesbestos testing to move forward (not to mention, I had to take a day off of work to clean up the mess created). We had to call and text and basically beg them to send people out to finish the work and we could tell we were a very low priority- mostly working Saturdays, canceling multiple times after committing to dates, unwilling to commit to days until a day or two in advance, etc. He pretended he would work around our schedule but if that was the case, this work would have NEVER been completed. I canceled plans 3 times during this process to make myself available to get this work done. After demo, I think they realized this job was more complicated than originally anticipated but instead of telling us that, Manuel just kept us guessing, unsure if the timeline had changed- he did not want to communicate specifics with us which we would have really appreciated and welcomed. We learned quickly that they were not particularly respectful of our space so we began taping up our own plastic space dividers to keep dust and fumes out of the rest of our living space. The workers were very nice and I believe the issue is with management rather than the workers themselves. In the end, the work is nice enough which is why I give 2 stars instead of 1. The finished work was absolutely not worth the headache and displacement we experienced to get it done. It was a truly painful experience. I have other cabinetry projects I would like to do but will absolutely not be hiring MJ Custom cabinetry again to do the work.

Izzy also emailed how to care for this newly finished hardwood floor. I'm very happy with the results. Yes, it was dusty and I had anxiety about that. The team also helped to minimize the unavoidable dust by taping light fixture and smoke detectors. Over all, the project is well worth it. Victory Flooring took care of everything.

From day one, the whole team made the process so much easier than we could have imagined and we couldn't be more delighted with the results. We worked closely with Michael, Sean, and Tritia every step of the way through meetings at their office, on site walkthroughs, and text and email. I had very specific design ideas I wanted to include and never once felt gaslit or unheard. Coram would do their best to accommodate my ideas and if they couldn't for structural reasons, we would work collaboratively to find a design that worked for the space. Sean's attention to detail and his tech savvy nature was a huge asset throughout the process. Our contractor extraordinaire, Leo, was super reliable and always had a positive attitude. His motto was "there's always a solution" and there is truly not a problem he can't solve. Since we chose to live in our house during the renovation process, we were nervous about dust and noise but the crew was clean and the always respectful. They even worked through a power outage--with their own generator! Francisco, the carpenter, built all our cabinets to our exact measurements. For our wet bar, he took a sketch we came up with and built a masterpiece. In fact, we had planned to save a bit on budget and build our own media center but after seeing his craftsmanship in the kitchen, we knew he had to be the one to build our media center and we are grateful he did! His work is just beautiful--you can tell it's built to last. What I appreciated most was how well everyone worked together. We always felt like our project mattered, and if we had a question or change, the team was quick to respond and genuinely helpful. Now that everything's done, our kitchen and bathrooms not only look amazing but are way more functional too. We honestly couldn't be happier and would 100% recommend Coram to anyone thinking about remodeling.

I appreciated how they listened to my ideas and then provided helpful and smart solutions. I struggled with feeling like all my ideas were too wild for my budget, but they were able to discuss things with me in a practical way and explain what we could realistically do. They guided me through the process step by step, first starting with inspiration pictures and then collaborating with me on every decision like kitchen and bathroom layout, the lighting, structural considerations, plumbing changes, flooring options, appliances, the cabinets, the tile, colors, even the placement of the mirrors and knobs. They provided different options to consider within our price range and knew when to discuss potential issues that could come up, things I never would have thought of on my own. Coram found a balance between getting my input while also providing me with professional opinions on what they knew would/would not work. Very collaborative. They do everything in house, the architecture, interior design and contracting work which made communication about the project a breeze. I could trust the project manager to relay important information to me when needed. Now that we are living in our house I keep having moments of noticing details that they worked on that we really love, for example, they put automatic lights in the laundry closet and that's such a nice touch. The hood range they helped us select has an automatic sensor and we were so pleasantly surprised the first time it turned on while cooking. I keep staring at the plumbing and lighting fixtures they helped us pick because they are so beautiful, functional, and they fit in our budget. There was no way I could have managed to pick all those details on my own. The overall feel of the house is exactly what I hoped for and everyone who visits us is amazed at how nice it turned out. I feel like their style is exactly my style--minimal, modern, sleek, incorporating traditional elements when needed--but it's more likely that they are just good at working with their clients to make it exactly their own. I think renovations can be so scary especially if there's a lot you don't understand. We had spoken to several other design teams before this and hiring Coram was the moment when the impossible task suddenly felt possible, they approach everything with a problem solving mindset and will take the time to explain things to you. It really makes all the difference. Had the best experience with Coram and will highly recommend them to all our friends and family.

I've never left a contractor review before -- but Nick and the Eye 4 Design team truly earned it…read more Nick stepped in at a time when my restaurant project Booku PoBoys had been delayed for nearly two years due to another contractor. I was overwhelmed and exhausted, and he immediately understood the situation without me having to over-explain. From day one, he came in with a clear plan, communicated it in a way I could actually understand, and got straight to work. What impressed me the most was the communication and consistency. If he said his team would be there, they were there -- on time, every time. I never had to chase, beg, or follow up. He was transparent, direct, and incredibly respectful in every interaction. His entire team reflects his leadership -- calm, organized, fast, precise, and professional. They treated my space like it was their own. They didn't just execute; they also offered creative solutions along the way to make the space even better. My only regret is not hiring Nick and Eye 4 Design from the very beginning. If you're on the fence about hiring them, here's what I'll say: every contractor makes mistakes -- but Eye 4 makes very few, and when something comes up, they handle it quickly and the right way. They don't make excuses -- they make progress. Without hesitation, I would recommend Eye 4 Design to anyone looking for a team that is fast, honest, reliable, and deeply committed to finishing the job -- the right way.

I hired Nick Reynolds in 2007 to do a variety of improvements in my 1950 house, which was mostly in…read moreits original condition. This involved installing a brand-new kitchen and refreshing the two bathrooms, but much of the work involved restoring older elements like oak floors, moldings, and a colorful tile shower stall, in a way that respected both the house's history and my limited budget. Now that the place requires some maintenance unrelated to the 2007 remodel, I've engaged Nick and his team again because he is not only highly skilled and experienced, but also thoughtful and strategic in his approach to the work, and most importantly, trustworthy. This means I trust his judgment about deciding what to do, his reliability in following through with a plan, and his fairness in charging for his time and efforts. As other Eye 4 Design clients have said, I can't recommend him highly enough.
