I was extremely stressed after I broke the plumbing in my son's bathroom. I started searching on…read moreBBB for a contractor to remodel this bathroom. Then one day I saw Duane's van. Wow I had totally forgot about him. Well my son and I are beyond happy. Duane does exceptionally great work. He and his crew gutted my bathroom, replaced all the plumbing, installed electrical outlets, installed plumbing for a shower and then Duane went to work remodeling my son's bathroom. If you need work done on your home Quality Made Renovations is the right one to call. They are trustworthy, reliable and know how to get the job done right. One thing I appreciated about Duane - he listened to what I wanted done but I also respected his opinions when he told me why he shouldn't do something the way I wanted. I'm truly thankful that I listened to him, because now this bathroom looks amazing. I'm looking forward to having my bathroom remodeled next year

It's a shame because had I a good experience replacing the vestibule, I was going to request a quote for remodeling my kitchen.

I saw a very reasonably priced tour for 4 people on Groupon and purchased it for myself and…read morefriends. While certainly a mansion, the home was much smaller than I was expecting. Our tour included 10 rooms: parlor, dining area, kitchen, library, mother's day room, mother's bed room, husband's bedroom, husband's bathroom, children's room, and billiards room. I've toured other family homes including the Ford Family estate in Grosse Pointe, MI (60 rooms) so I think I had different expectations.That's my own fault though for not researching more about the home. Note: you are unable to take photos inside the house, although this seems to be common practice when touring family homes. The house itself was an interesting piece of history and our tour guide was incredibly informed. Great quality, 5 stars. The reason the overall score is so low is because of my experience with the Executive Director. Very poor, 0 stars. I second Celic's comments of interacting with someone rude. My friends and I were waiting for her to process my Groupon payment, so I asked a couple of questions about the family while we waited at the bottom of the stairs. When Joan was in the middle of explaining, the director (who was in another room) snapped at me and said, "If you'd actually give Joan a chance to explain, she'll get to what you're wondering about. So hold your questions until the end." It is like she mistook asking a question as an insult to the quality of the tour instead of interest and excitement in what Joan was talking about. In case you're reading this- a more gracious way to handle this would be: 1) Explaining before the tour begins to hold questions until the end. 2) A reminder to come from THE TOUR GUIDE using language such as "That's a great question. And we're going to talk about that more when we enter the children's room. So let me know if you have any more unanswered questions about the family at that time." They have some interesting events that happen throughout the year - and I'm contemplating attending - but frankly the thought of having a possible negative interaction (again) with the director might be enough to keep me from spending more money here.

On the same day I payed my guitar off I renewed the lease on my guitar pedal. Mind you this pedal was pawned for $25 when it's new worth is $250 and this thing was in brand new never used condition. I went there today to claim the item back but I had lost the green slip they give you upon pawning or renewing an item. They say they don't even have any record of it being renewed in their system. Now since they made some sort of clerical error on my renewal I am out $250 for a $25 pawn. I would recommend you take your business else where when dealing with high end equipment just on the principle of their carelessness. And if you do pawn there be sure you don't lose your slip and have proof of everything. I'd hate to see this happen to someone else.
