We had Terry remodel our 1940s bathroom - electrical, plumbing, tile, tub, painting, toilet, sink,…read morelighting, cabinet, exhaust fan, grab bars, counter, plaster repair - the works! It's now been about 4 months since he finished the work and each day I look at our new bathroom and think "wow!' He did a great job! He was patient and always responsive to any questions or issues, and cleaned up each day. Great workmanship too. He started out by measuring and answering any questions we had, offering ideas here and there but letting us make our own decisions. Unlike some other contractors, he did not give fancy 3D architectural renderings, nor did he accompany us to each supplier to pick out products. Here's what his process was, which was perfect for us. We received a proposal contract which listed each item or task, along with a cost allowance for each item. If we chose something more expensive than its allowance, the final price would reflect the increase. If what we chose cost less than the allowance, the final cost would go down by that much. So we had a bottom line price from the start and would have the final decision on expenses. He then also gave us a list of his suggested suppliers from which to pick out all of the products. We worked with those suppliers to make selections at their respective showrooms (they work with TLC regularly), and they forwarded our selections to Terry. A few selections we made were from suppliers not on his list, which was fine, but the places he suggested were where most of the items came from. When all selections were made, he provided us with a revised proposal contract reflecting our selections and revised costs. Then he - not us - did the ordering from each vendor to insure that all of the parts and pieces fit together and would work, plus that way his contractor discount was applied. His final contract to us was transparent and showed all prices. No additional markups, no change order fees, no nonsense. If someone wants computer-generated architectural renderings, having him present at each supplier meeting, one central showroom where every needed product and samples are all in one place, then this type of contractor isn't likely for you. If however, you want a remodeling contractor that not only provides the quote but also does the actual work himself, with reliable suppliers that work with him, with a fair price and a minimal amount of stress (if that's possible lol), then TLC's a good choice. Would we recommend TLC Contracting? If you haven't it already guessed: the answer is absolutely!

Roughly 1100 sq ft, including kitchen cabinets which had to be converted from stained to painted. Fixed cracks and holes, including drywall repair in a closet and an old ceiling repair that needed to be redone. They did all this in 3 days in order to be done before flooring was installed! Good communication all along with the office, owner and site lead as they tried to fulfill my requests on new kitchen hardware and as they ensured every detail was handled. It looks great.

PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE GIVING THIS BUSINESS YOUR MONEY!…read more This business was incredibly unprofessional, and the way they treated someone who was grieving the loss of her father and simply wanted to do something nice for herself is deeply disturbing. She hired them to remodel her home and trusted them to handle what should have been a straightforward renovation. Instead, within a short period of time, the paint in her bathroom began chipping, the sink cracked, and other things stopped working properly. Even more concerning was how they handled her requests during the project. She asked for completely standard things--a particular faucet, an appropriate sink size, and a grab bar for the shower. They would not accommodate any of her requests. She was actually told they couldn't get her a grab bar for her shower. A grab bar. Home Depot has an entire selection of them. How can a company that specializes in home design and remodeling claim they can't accommodate such basic requests?? Then there is the pricing. Items that can be purchased for a fraction of the cost were marked up dramatically--for example, a showerhead costing around $100 being charged at $750. There is nothing wrong with a business making a profit, but customers deserve transparency and reasonable value for what they're paying. And then things got even worse. The company owner's personal belongings were dumped into the client's dumpster, leaving the client unable to use it for her own renovation waste. But perhaps the most disturbing part of the entire experience was how she was treated when she finally confronted them about it. She was told: "It was easy to take advantage of you." Read that again. "It was easy to take advantage of you." This says everything you need to know about how this company views its customers. People trust contractors and designers with their homes, their money, and sometimes in their most vulnerable moments. They deserve honesty, professionalism, respect, and quality workmanship--not to be treated as an opportunity to make an excessive profit because someone is trusting or going through a difficult time. Please know exactly who you're trusting with your home and your hard-earned money! No one should be made to feel like they were an easy target. People deserve better than this!
