Over the last 30 years I have used them and was very happy until Dave Chapdelaine left the business. Dave was great, the rest of them are horrible. I spent well over 100,000 over the years and called for a simple ice dam repair on my interior ceiling in a roo they built when Dave was there. They kept promising to come out, never did, sounded frustrated every time I called and finally afterMONTHS of trusting them to take care of it they told me they were too busy and could not come out. I would NEVER recommend them now, coming from someone who WAS a frequent customer.

We are so happy with our new Kitchen! Lisa designed the layout of our kitchen creating the most spacious functional living space in our home. Where others failed to do this she succeeded. Gary and his team of workers were awesome! They were always respectful in our home and eager to help in any way. They finished the renovation as scheduled. You will not be disappointed in choosing them for your next project as we hope to do in the near future.
