During the inspection they also provided water flow management devices for our showers, replaced bulbs with LED, and installed a smart surge protector in our media room. The report they provided gave us recommendations for insulation, tuneup, and other installations to help improve our HVAC efficiency. The quote included prices and rebates available. We easily selected the options we wanted and scheduled the work. It was a fraction of the cost if we had engaged contractors without going through the energy audit. They managed the rebate process and we only had to pay the remaining balance. We had blown-in and spray foam insulation done in our attic. Once this was complete, Zero Draft retested and showed that the install increased our efficiency by over 20%. I can actually feel and see the difference. It's noticeably warmer inside. Our roof used to have frost on half and not on the other half because so much heat was rising up. After they installed our insulation the entire roof stays frosty and more f the heat stays in our living spaces. They even got into spaces I never thought were accessible!

Not only did they fix our toilets and replace the showers, but they went above and beyond in ways we didn't expect. We had a really messy paint job left behind by previous contractors--uneven, sloppy, and honestly frustrating to look at--and Pure Joy stepped in and cleaned everything up beautifully. It's like a fresh start. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and care really stood out. They didn't just do the job--they made sure everything was done right. You can tell they take pride in their work. If you're looking for a team that's reliable, thorough, and truly delivers quality results, I highly recommend Pure Joy Cleaning and Contracting. Total peace of mind working with them!

He was on time and his communication was on point. I appreciated him giving me a heads-up when he was on his way, almost at the house, and also when he was almost done with his work, so that it gave me plenty of time to inspect everything. He even did a detailed walk through of his cleaning with me, which is something I've never had from previous cleaning services. Nothing felt rushed and Barry took the time and effort to ensure everything was clean to my satisfaction. Very happy to recommend. 5 stars!

If I could leave zero stars I would. I allowed this company access to my rental property via a…read morelockbox so they could clean prior to an open house. I was the first person in the house a few days after and aside from a clean fridge and stove, it looked like no one cleaned the house except for a few vacuum strokes. There was still stuff on the carpet and even on the hard floor in the kitchen. They gouged the FRESHLY painted walls to the point we needed to pay someone to Spackle/sand/paint the walls because we were out of time before a lead inspection/Open house and we would've been dinged for a gouge in the wall. At first Barry claimed he would pay us for the repair to the wall (via Zelle, his preferred method) , claiming they didn't do it; then claiming if one of his team members did it, he wasn't aware. We had the wall repaired and then suddenly Barry would not respond to a single message, did not pay for the repair which was MORE money out of our pocket and he denied the Zelle request. So not only was our house NOT cleaned, he did not keep his word regarding paying for damage that was NOT there prior to "his team" entering. We are filing fraud with our bank, contacting BBB for the work ethic, among other means to rectify this nightmare experience. Never again. Regarding the fridge, either they didn't move the fridge to clean the floor or they did and damaged our brand new wall... so we paid for work not done or he DID the work along with the damage.. it doesn't go both ways EDIT: Barry claims I am a bully and was satisfied following the video chat after the rental property was "cleaned" it's not hard to say good job when a video chat avoids showing damage to a wall or pieces of debris laying along all the floorboards. We will never use this company again, and neither will real estate investor we work with to prep homes. We paid for service we didn't receive AND ended up paying for damage his team caused. Barry claimed he would reimburse us; however, he conveniently stopped responding to our attempts to reach him. The multiple avenues we are taking for the fraud and BBB will help us since he refuses

Finding an architect who truly listens and realizes your vision is rarer than you'd think. Bob Moll…read moreis that architect. We hired him to design a home addition -- master en suite, separate office, and a roof deck on top. From the start, Bob's instinct was to work with what we already had rather than around it. He recommended extending the addition from an existing side door, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of the whole project. Construction happened outside the main living space, which meant we could actually live in our house like normal while the work was going on. If you've ever lived through a major renovation you know how rare and valuable that is. Here's the thing about Bob that really got me -- we went through three completely different design plans before landing on the right one. A single story, then a two story with a deck, then finally a one story with a roof deck. Most people would have gotten frustrated. Bob never flinched. Every iteration was thoughtful, every conversation was unhurried, and he stayed focused on making sure the final design was exactly what we envisioned. I'll be honest -- construction isn't fully complete yet, so I can't show you finished photos. But even at this stage you can clearly see the architectural vision coming through in the structure itself. The bones of this design are already impressive, and that's entirely Bob's work. I'm writing this now because I don't want to wait until the end to tell people about him -- the design process alone earned five stars. Highly recommend.

She understood better than any other firm what I was looking for in my home renovation. She designed space that works for my family structure today and will also transform as my children grow up and our home situation changes. Karen provided excellent practical advice on many topics including ADA compliant designs. She and her staff patiently went through many iterations with different configurations of all parts of my home to find the best options within my budget. They had existing relationships with several contractors as well as the company that installed my solar panels. In addition to Karen's architectural design repertoire, this firm has the best business process. The contract is straightforward and provides more value than any other I have seen.
