I've worked with Kate Fisher for home organizing for 3 years. She helped me before and after a…read moremajor home remodel to design and install organization systems in nearly 15 spaces in my home. Bedroom closets, laundry room, garage, basement storage areas, mudroom, and more. Before working with Kate, I habitually stowed items away in dark corners and behind doors. The feeling of overwhelm led me to avoid organizing. Kate stepped in to help me prioritize problem areas in my home and create action plans to slay the dragon. She took time to learn about my family, how we live, what is important to us, and our personalities. She showed respect for things that were important to us, and honored this throughout the organizing process. After working with The Neatist, I can organize for myself. I can find things in my home because my piles are gone and there is a designated (and labeled!) space for everything. I have a repeatable system for making decisions about what to purge and what to keep. Her work for me gave me time, confidence, and calm in my own home.

She spent time at the beginning of the project asking me and my son what we wanted out of the space and she gave us everything we wanted and even made suggestions based on some of the challenges we had. She was able to repurpose items we had and was cost-conscious about finding the things we bought. If you have no idea where to even start (like me) on a room...Kate is the one to call!

Texted me approximately 30 times. Car trouble! Then she started complaining that the cottage was dirtier than she thought. We live in another state and had seen the cottage once before we bought it. She complained so much we said we would Gift her 100 dollars more. Again more texts her animals need food, she needs the 100. In the text I told her to finish the job send pictures and I would mail her the money. Continually texting she needs the money. The move in was Saturday September 28. I got at least 10 texts from her about the 100 dollars. In short she was the Most unprofessional person I have ever hired. If you want a sob story to get your home cleaned, hire her! If you would like your home cleaned without the drama hire someone else. It was a constant harassment for a GIFT of 100 dollars. I wanted the cottage cleaned not to hear all her problems. Extremely unprofessional!

If I could give 10 stars, I would!…read more Building a home from scratch can be overwhelming--especially when you don't live in the area. My wife and I dreamed of a 3-bedroom cottage in Bar Harbor, ME, and after hiring an architect, we faced the daunting task of finding the right builder. Through a recommendation, we found Ricky Sprague, owner of Generations Custom Homes (GCH). That turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From day one, Ricky stood out. He patiently explained the entire process, respected our budget, and built in flexibility for changes along the way. What impressed me most was his organization. Ricky uses what I called his "magic spreadsheet"--a clear, detailed budget and progress tracker that he updated with each invoice. I could see exactly what was spent, what remained, and how far along we were. For someone investing life savings into a project, that transparency was priceless. And here's the kicker: Ricky's estimates were spot on. The only deviations were the ones we chose, and even those were offset by savings elsewhere. Now, about quality. GCH typically builds large luxury homes, and ours was modest by comparison--a 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage. But you'd never know it from the craftsmanship. The trim work around doors and windows is flawless. The tile work is magazine-worthy. Friends have tried to spot imperfections, and none could be found. The attention to detail is astounding, and the result far exceeded our expectations. Equally important is how Ricky handles challenges. No construction project is perfect, and we had a minor issue with window alignment. Before I could even decide whether it was worth worrying about, Ricky had it fixed--on his dime. That told me everything I needed to know about his integrity. He takes ownership, stands by his work, and makes things right without hesitation. One example that really stood out: when the quartz countertops were installed, one side wasn't cut perfectly at 90 degrees. I honestly didn't notice the misalignment, but Ricky immediately spotted it. He arranged for the company to come back, remove the affected sections, recut them precisely, and reinstall them flawlessly. I was beyond impressed with Ricky's attention to detail, dedication to quality, and genuine care for his customers. It's clear why I want to give Ricky and GCH 10 stars! They take pride in their work, listen carefully to their clients, and ensure the finished product exceeds expectations. Whether it's a large project or a small detail, they handle everything with professionalism, skill, and heart. Communication was also seamless. Ricky was always accessible--whether by text, email, or phone--and responded quickly. I never felt out of the loop despite living hours away. At the end of the day, what you get with Ricky and Generations Custom Homes isn't just a house--it's peace of mind. He's extremely talented, honest, and hardworking, and his entire crew reflects those same values. My wife and I are beyond thrilled with our new home, and I can say with complete confidence: if you're looking for a builder in the MDI area, stop searching. Hire Ricky Sprague and GCH. You'll be in the best hands possible!

My Maine house on Mount Desert needed serious repairs to the three decks surrounding the house in…read moreorder to get it ready for the market. The previous contractor had done a very poor job, partly because I was out of state for medical reasons. I fired him and then had a difficult time finding a reliable contractor. Ricky Sprague, the owner of Generations Custom Homes, was so moved by my story and angry that an elderly widow had been taken advantage of, that he promised to take on the work, despite having a full workload and worked with me to keep costs as low as possible, given how large the job was. His crew arrived when promised and worked diligently and expertly to repair-- and in two cases to completely rebuild--the decks, so that the work could be mostly complete before I had to leave. Ricky kept me informed of issues that arose, particularly those that would increase the workload and the costs and offered solutions that were elegant and worked with my constrained budget. He and his crew completed the work in little over two months, cleaned up the site, and got it inspected. I am so deeply grateful not simply for the quality of the work but also the respect with which I was treated, and the way Ricky made sure the project came in on time and within budget. I cannot recommend the company highly enough. If possible, I would give them more than 5 stars!
