My husband and I contracted Heidi Mortensen to help us out of a jam with painting the interior of…read moreour new home. She came as a referral from the store where we bought our paint, after we had become stuck with our paint test patches. Since we were going for bold, bright, strong colors we didn't want to screw it up. And there was a GREAT potential to screw it up. Enter Heidi. She was amazing. I went around for weeks later telling everyone who cared (or pretended to) that the hour and a half she spent with us was the best $$ we spent in the whole project. No lie. Her normal service is geared to take people through the entire process of selecting color for their home, but my husband and I were on a budget and we already KNEW about what we wanted color-wise but we couldn't nail the right shades. She came in and just charged her hourly rate to help us through the jam, narrowing our issues by listening to us both describe what we each had in mind for the color gold for example, and working from there. She was so amazing. We did the 3 rooms we were stuck on, along with the rest of the house, in an hour and a half flat. All of the colors looked warm and inviting (our goal) and the different colors throughout the house flowed well together. She got us unstuck for an extremely reasonable price. And anyone who has painted an entire room the wrong shade knows what a nightmare it is time and money-wise, to fix. What was also great about Heidi was her willingness to be flexible with us, and not insisting on sticking to her normal routine (which involves several visits and is I am sure, a more thorough and complete service). She came in and did a scaled down visit at our request which was what enabled us to hire her. She also does interior design but I am specifically here to rave about her paint consulting. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with painting their home.

Bennie came out the next day to take measurements and submitted a bid that evening. It was reasonably priced and awarded the job to them. The installers were here every morning at 8AM until the work was completed. They were friendly and always checked with us before putting fixtures in. The floors were protected while the project was ongoing and cleaned the work area every day before leaving. We recommend them as quality workers and would definitely use again on any projects we may have. Sent from D Laurent

We finally found Acadian Remodeling and Benny agreed to help us out. It took a little longer than expected but the time was waiting for tile, not at all their fault. They were quick to do the demo and stayed in contact while waiting for tile. While the work was being done they communicated what was going on and asked us decision making questions along the way. The pricing was in line for what we expected given the quality of work we received. Highly Recommend!

As a practicing architect for over 35 years, my office has worked with tile/stone suppliers…read morethroughout the US and Europe After selecting a French pattern travertine at Stafford Tile for our own home, we requested samples of all of the tile sizes. Months later, I had to point out that the pieces were not finished the same. Only at this point, they admitted to using different suppliers for the already purchased stone. Noting, it was an unacceptable material and should not have been sold. They offered only one replacement. However, it was a darker color, so we had to adjust the design, other materials and colors selected months previously. Then there were delays in the delivery and once it arrived about 1/3 of the cartoons contained cracked pieces. Stafford counted 39 bundles containing at least one damaged tile. The frustration continued and due to a great installer we utilized some of the damaged pieces at my cost for additional labor. There was a lack of understanding and assistance by Stafford, and they refused to pick up the remaining damaged material. I thought a professional interaction could occur, but their General Manager was rude and inaccurate with her statements. In the end, the material was a compromise, created additional costs to the Client/Architect and a very frustrating experience.

Doors of Elegance just came to install our door and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome…read more Their crew was professional and no detail was missed. They put down drop cloths, used a shop vac when cutting or drilling to keep dust down. Made sure everything functioned properly and cleaned up after themselves. You can clearly see these guys take pride in their work and want to deliver a great customer experience. After 25 years in construction it's refreshing to see a crew who cares about their work. I would definitely recommend doors of elegance.

Fell through a rotten floor board, so got them to replace that and support some other weak boards. They showed up late nearly every day and did a very lazy/terrible job. Had to call them back out to sand down the new wood more because it was substantially higher than the existing wood. They also did a pretty terrible job at matching the stain. This company just seems to sub out the work, so yeah, I'd look for a different contractor unless you are looking at a specific sub.

There were a number of delays on our end, but we got exactly what we wanted in the end. We had shopped around and their pricing was extremely competitive. They came to measure with all this state-of-the-art equipment. When the installers came out, they were friendly, experienced, efficient and professional. That's all great, but what's important is the finished product. The look, the finish, the fit were beyond what we had hoped for. Our countertops look fantastic. Great experience, great job, great countertops!

I can only comment on customer service…read more I went here today looking for a granite slab for my dad's new office cabinets. They even pulled a cabinet selection similar to what is being installed for me to compare to. I put down the deposit (half the total), and left.

I felt bad that I had to ask after just placing the order, but the transaction was handled smoothly and without issue.

If you are looking for a construction company whose price will be comparable to others you'll see, but who will give you that extra 10% of care and consideration to set themselves apart, Brighter Horizons Construction and Charles Aponza are your answer. These guys were amazing. Charles is communicative, gave us a fair price for redoing the siding on our whole house, and stuck to it. And when I say stuck to it I mean not a single. Dollar. Over. I also can't speak highly enough of his crew, which at one point was 15 people working on our house a once. They showed up on time every day for almost two weeks, working from 7AM to 4:30PM in the MIDDLE OF JULY. The loyalty and respect these guys have for Charles show me what an exceptional business owner he is. He encouraged them to take regular breaks every hour, cool off in cars or shade, and drink plenty of water. Someone who cares about their workers this way is tragically rare these days. This reflects well not only on him but also maintains the quality of the work, which is a direct benefit to us. The other quality that impressed me most was the consideration shown to me and my neighbors not only by Charles but by his foreman and every member of his crew. Here are a few examples: -working as quietly as possible in the morning hours so as to minimize disruption to us and our elderly neighbor -neatly organizing their materials and equipment at the end of each day -sweeping and rinsing debris/sawdust out of our driveway at the end of each day -covering our neighbor's cars in plastic to prevent paint spray caught in the wind from getting on them -moving our potted plants into the shade so they wouldn't be scorched by the sun when they needed to work on the places those plants live -taking their work boots off whenever they needed to work inside the house When we prepared for this project, which was a serious commitment of time and financial resources, I interviewed four different construction companies. The reason I chose Charles and BHC was that he showed me that he understood what pride of place means and how important it was to me that this work gets done right because we could only afford to do it once. I'm so glad to have been right in that decision. The work has been done for a week now: siding, caulking, paint, a new gate, and some other minor improvements, and I still walk around admiring how good it all looks (and is!). That should tell you everything you need to know.
