The water leaked sporadically, and since it leaked between gutters and siding, we called the siding and gutter installer, to have them fix the leak. They looked and looked, and found it coming from the toilet wax ring, installed years earlier, by Kautz. I called years later, and Mike acted like I was out of my mind, given the time lapse. Sadly we did not know what was the cause. I decided on Kautz instead of Home Depot, giving small business on this job. My $1,200. mistake. Home Depot has insurance to cover these events. Lesson learned !

Despite this experience, we decided to come back since we could customize our vanity here. The man who "helped" us before was not around. Thankfully, we had someone else help us who was phenomenal! He was patient, explained everything, and helped us customize a vanity. They delivered it right to our house 3 maybe 4 weeks after our order was placed. The vanity turned out very nice and I was very happy with the service. This place would have 5 stars easily if it weren't for the first guy we talked to!

Our refinished flooring looks better than the original flooring, this family owned company promised great results and they certainly delivered great results. Our flooring was a challenge to refinish, due to the original finish on the floor, but these two professionals tackled this project with ease. They are extremely professional, courteous and accommodating, they did extras without even charging us. Three rooms were refinished and not one bit of sanding dust was left behind. All we keep saying is, "WOW" Thank you, Kovach Flooring, you are the best!!!

We just bought an old home on the North Shore, and Rob was very clear to us that we were actually in good shape. One of the big guys -- you can probably figure out who -- had told us we needed upwards of $10-20k worth of work. Rob could've made his own money on us, but he instead advised other work that had nothing to do with our basement at all. While we may not have to hire Rob today, I feel I've found a trusted partner for potential future needs, and certainly someone I would love to see get business from others who are in need today.

We took a liking with them with our interaction with Mike. We scheduled an estimate with Edson, he was on time and polite and also we enjoyed Edson's honesty in his answers when I probed questions about ditra-heat flooring options. They seem knowledgeable enough to entertain our questions, which again we appreciated. That shows that they are willing to plan with us as opposed to others we have worked with that only does what they know how to do. They provided the itemized estimate/invoice, which is what we look for in contracted jobs. Check. And they were coherent in their emails, which is also a plus. It's nice to be able to physically walk into a location and talk to someone there. We are still on the contract stage but we liked what we see so far, even tho the price is a bit higher than other ones we've got. However, they seem to not have seen a contract before which is a bit surprising to us. We are waiting to see if their big boss agree with what we had down in paper, which protects both parties. I will update if we both decide to move forward with the job. Update: GFS responded to us saying they don't want to sign the contract. This kinda makes us raise an eye brow, because our generic AI drafted contract is super reasonable. Stuff like if there are any changes, it has to be communicated in writing. I don't get why. I think their refusal to agree in writing really makes us worry and doubt their reliability... we ain't about to drop $20k when there's no reassurance! Too bad I really liked the two people we talked to so far!

I am very reluctantly writing an unfavorable review of Better Home Ideas. This company was…read morerecommended by my cousin. Yes, I still speak to her. But Robert Lomax, the owner of Better Home Ideas over-promised, under-delivered and over-charged. We hired Robert to remove and replace 2000 sq ft of water damaged floors, paint our entire apartment, renovate our master bathroom and install 2 new lighting systems and 2 new electric outlets very specifically with 10 gauge wire along with Ethernet cable to run to areas with poor wifi. We moved out of the apartment into a hotel while the floors (2200 Sq ft) where removed and replaced. Robert said it you take 10 to 14 days (as did other installers who we got quotes from). It took 5 1/2 weeks!!!! We moved into the hotel on November 8th and got back into our apartment on December 15th. During this time while we ran up a $9000 hotel bill, Robert had only 2 workers working on the floor at a time while not starting any of the other tasks at hand. When we moved back in on December 15th, yes the floors were finally done, but only one room had been painted and none of the electrical work or lighting had been done (although he did lay but didn't connect or complete 12 gauge wiring, even though I was very specific in requesting 10 gauge wiring.) He charged me anyway. Two rooms were painted, even though it was requested NOT to paint that second room. He charged me for the second room anyway. Robert's solution to completing the rest of the work - for us to stay out of the apartment through Christmas and New Years. Really? We told Robert that we would resume after the holidays. Once the master bathroom supplies arrived, I called Robert to finish the master bathroom. I'm still waiting to hear from him after 3 weeks. Part of the project was a bathroom renovation we were told would start on August 2, so were moved out of the master bathroom and bedroom (which they needed for staging and equipment and we moved into a spare bedroom. Robert didn't start until 2 weeks later. The bathroom renovation was delayed by supply-line problems (not Robert's fault). During the bathroom renovation, Robert installed a beautiful American walnut custom made vanity from a cabinet maker in Oregon. Once the vanity was installed, Robert realized the outlet were too low for the backsplash. Robert's recommended solution: cut the legs of the vanity 1 1/2 inches so that the outlet would now be right height! I said "no" and the outlets were raised - by cutting holes in the quartzite backsplash. It looks awful and is currently being replaced. I have hired a new contractor to complete all the work Robert and Better Home Ideas never got to do after 5 months in our apartment. Never again. Oh, by the way, Robert's painter cut our fiber optic cable which costs $500 to repair. I'm still waiting for reimbursement from Robert. And he over ordered excess flooring to the tune of $1300 which still sits in our living room which it appears that I'm stuck with. And, oh yeah, there's the $5000 emergency stash that disappeared from a closet lock box that had been pried open. Although I don't know who took the money, direct unfettered access to that closet was extremely limited. This building is very secured and has a 24 hours a day doorman - apartment theft is virtually unheard of here.). The money was discovered missing 2 weeks after the project started. I'm not accusing.

So when Tibu was recommended twice, I knew that I was in good hands! The workers were done in 11/2 days and it came out so beautiful! The water based finish on the floors was a soft satin finish, which is sophisticated and better than that lacquered look of oil base. It didn't take too long to air out the space, and they were ready to walk on within a couple of days. The workers were hard working and took extra care to not disturb my freshly painted walls. Tibu really went above and beyond to make sure I had excellent service and that I was satisfied. The price was fair and I'd highly recommend them to anyone!
