Rolando did exactly as proposed and scheduled. He also added a few extra touches. Most notably Rolando worked well with my tenants who voiced their appreciation of Rolando's crew and professionalism.

Only thing is hard to choose products at their showroom because limited selection and hard to see everything clearly, they just need some help organizing and displaying product, however, they can likely find it if you know what you want. Downside payment and terms NOT clear from the get go, I had to make four payments and process archaic, so took time and frustrated all, so caused some rough moments that could have been completely mitigated and the experience different. Would all be much smoother if they used an up to date payment method, likely electronic.

Northern Construction Tile did two tile/stone projects for me. The first one was vey challenging…read moreand frustrating as they sent crew who were either learning how to tile or just did not care about the quality of their work. Hector Garcia was very difficult to communicate with when asked to come back and repair their defective work. Often blaming others for their poor workmanship. See photos. I worked with Hector to get the repairs done but had to have other tile craftsmen come in to fix the work he said he could not fix. I was forced to pass these added cost on to Northern Construction Tile. We decided to give Northern Construction Tile another chance on another project that was just stone countertops, bathroom wainscot, and a fireplace hearth. We trusted that Hector would pay more attention to detail as he had he would. The countertops were done incorrectly and had to be returned to be repaired, the marble wainscot had multiple issues of poor workmanship. The window sill in the shower sloped toward the window, the marble bench has issues at the joints where the marble is stained. They chipped the corner of the bench and patched it. The patch is completely visible! See photos! The fireplace hearth seemed like a really easy piece to install, but no, they set it 1/4" below the wood flooring in one corner. Then they blamed us. We ended up cancelling their contract and hiring another company to finish their work. All costs for their repairs were back charged to them, per subcontract. We have removed this company from our list of tile/stone contractors.

Loved working with Hector at Northern Construction. Did everything go smoothly and according to my…read moreoriginal plan? No. But I ended up so pleased with the final project. The truth is there were things I simply did not think about when planning out my project. For example, the 12" tiles I planned for the floor left me with a very unattractive layout. Hector noticed this early enough in the planning that I was able to select a 12"x18" tile that looked so much better. My favorite think about working with Hector however was his casual and simple desire to get it done and get it done correctly. If I pointed out something I wasn't satisfied with (chipped tile, etc), it was fixed. No arguing. No complaining. And no renegotiating on cost! Every phone call to Hector ended the same way. He'd say "OK. Let's do it!" and he would be there to make sure it was done. Very happy we were referred to them.

However, after our first meeting with Manon Demers, we decided to move forward with the remodel. We came in with some ideas of our own--such as navy blue lower cabinets with white upper cabinets--and Manon was able to enhance our vision by presenting excellent samples and offering thoughtful, practical guidance. She visited our home before demolition, helped us visualize cabinet and appliance placement, and prepared detailed plans for the project. We relied heavily on Manon's expertise for the cabinetry and countertops, while selecting our own appliances, cabinet hardware, lighting, and wall treatments. The project planning began in June and was completed by the end of October. Working with Manon was a pleasure throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable, professional, and highly experienced. We are extremely pleased with the results and highly recommend Gilman Kitchens and Baths for anyone seeking a beautiful, well-executed kitchen remodel.

The bookshelves…read morethat he designed, built, and installed really add much-needed warmth and life to our living room! BACKGROUND: We wanted bookshelves installed above a built-in cabinet unit in our living room. I sent Jitendra a sketch and described what we wanted. From my chicken-scratch sketch, he created a design and mock-up, then measured our space. While measuring, he flagged all existing flaws in the space (uneven/slanted walls) so that we were aware of all inconsistencies upfront. He has amazing attention to detail! RESULTS: We were simply blown away by how well he was able to match the custom shelves to our existing unit; all of the wood looks like it was manufactured at the same time! It truly looks like it was all constructed as one piece from the very beginning, which is exactly what we wanted. In addition, we really appreciate that he took initiative to incorporate crown molding/extra detail on the top of the shelving unit. This is something that I would never have thought to do. WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE HIM: There's good reason why the word "artisan" is in the name of this business. He goes above and beyond on quality, service, and workmanship, AND he's very personable, patient, and kind. I HIGHLY recommend working with Jitendra and his crew; worth every penny!
