"Michael was very easy to work with and fully transparent on every step of the way. His output is very high quality and he restored our basement to fantastic condition. I appreciated the care he took on our project and the additional input he gave to offer suggestions on overall improvements to the space. If you hire him for a job then you're in great hands; Would hire again!"

"I have worked with Ben and Staci from Handy Rite 4-5 times now and always had great experiences. We have had woodpecker and weather damage to various parts of the cedar siding on our home spanning the past 3-4 years. The work involves removing the damaged siding, cutting new pieces and painting/replacing the cedar onto the house. In addition, just within the past week, Ben also came out with Vlad from his team to paint the front exterior of our home. As usual, the work was very high quality and the pricing definitely fair for the value we receive. Overall, Ben and Staci focus upon a great overall experience from handing inquiries and estimates through completing the work with high quality. Both of them are very personable and easy to work with, as is all of their staff we have interacted with for the past couple of years on various projects. I would highly recommend them to anyone, and we plan to use them again for some additional remodeling projects on the inside of our home in the next couple of months."

"We hired Spartan to remodel our bathroom. And I should start by saying that I am (not really, but jokingly) reluctant to write this glowing review, for fear that I will have to share these guys with lots of new clients and I won’t have them all to myself for my next project! Haha :) We didn’t have a ton of money to throw at our bathroom so I was worried that they would not take the job, or take it seriously. Well they not only treated this job (I think) the same as they would a $70k kitchen remodel, but they also did small things to help us stay within our budget, such as letting me buy the materials when I could get them cheaper, and they were even willing to let another contractor do part of the job if they were lower cost. (That ended up not being necessary but how many places would willingly do that?!) We had them rip out the old floor (plus like four layers of linoleum added over the decades!) in the bathroom and hallway, knock out a wall to merge a closet with the bathroom, move the sink, move some electrical, install a new sink and lights and put the new floor in and paint etc. It turned out gorgeous and the bathroom is (perhaps sadly!) now the classiest room in my house. :) The main person you will deal with for sales and project management is Mike. He has a calm (and calming) disposition and is careful with his estimates so as not to promise things that can’t be done, while also suggesting things that I had not thought of. The ones who actually did the work were Paul and Dave. Dave is trained as a cabinet maker and as such is an expert craftsman. He was the “brains” behind our remodel, so he will not only know the best way to accomplish what you want to do, but he will see to it that it is executed perfectly. Paul did a lot of the actual day to day work and was the one I dealt with most often. He is the one that made sure everything actually got done and finished all the way to the end, including the less “fun” parts like sanding, painting and cleanup. He is friendly and approachable with a great sense of humor, and fun to talk with. I really can’t say enough good things about these guys. I enjoyed their personalities as well as the quality of their work, not to mention the way they tried to make sure everything was possible with our small budget. Granted the project did exceed our original budget but that is because I was having so much fun tearing things apart we decided to add to the project scope! Now that it is done, I am already planning and saving up money for 3 other projects I have in mind for them next. I have found my contractor of choice and will call them for everything from now on. They will probably be sick of me soon. :) I also own my own business so from my experience, I think the couple of the so-so reviews I saw on here are from anxious customers who expect contractors to be mind readers and will accept nothing less than 100% perfection in all things — there are people like that, but I am not this way (and by the way neither is the world we live in!). Just treat them like a friend who is doing some work, and they will do the same for you! Again, I sort of don’t want to share them ;), but if you are looking for an honest, reasonably priced, good quality company to do some work on your house, you should absolutely consider Spartan. It matters to them that you are happy, they do great work, won't leave you hanging for months and months to finish (like some of those horror stories you hear), and they will be honest in their dealings with you. You will not be disappointed!"

"Overall the project went "good". We are still waiting to hear back on a "fix" that is needed. It has been weeks now, so I anticipate we will have to fix it ourselves. I was waiting for a completed project before I wrote this review, but I believe based on no feedback that they feel this project is completed, and we need to do our own repair (which would be okay if they told us what to do, and closed the loop on the project). The big stuff was done very well--the fireplace insert and most of the brick work. They did come back to fix small issues: TV cable (they picked the wrong one, and had to bust out the wall a second time), the slate on the floor had to be touched up (a bubble in the grout), and the grout around the insert had to be painted (it was cement color and stood out like a sore thumb. I am not sure if there was colored grout that would have worked better, but we had cement color and the fireplace/brick is brown). I asked for the color of the paint they used for future touch up, but I have not received a response (so much time has past that I don't think I will).
The outstanding issue is a brick pc had a noticeable gap in it, and it was in a highly visible spot in a corner and easily accessible (it was really one piece and looked easy to us to fix by their professional). We were told by the brick person it could be fixed (but sounded like a big deal), and then we were told by the general contractor that it was a manufacturers defect in the brick piece, and we would have to pay $350 for repair. We had to uncomfortably push back (they should have picked a different piece of brick was our thought). Once the brick piece was loosened, it was VERY easy to see that it was a VERY easy fix...re-position it, and glue it back on somehow. Right now, it is sitting in position, but not glued in place. we will seek advice on what product to use to glue it in place. Then the project will be completed. Besides the fixable issues, the only cosmetic regret is the way the corner turned out. it is near a wrap around wall, and I envisioned that the brick would slightly wrap the wall, but it didn't, which now leaves me with a very very small piece of wall to paint someday - I suppose we will use a very very tiny brush and a steady hand. Finally, I was looking for a general contractor to partner with on several other upcoming projects (bathroom remodels, etc)...I am not sure yet if I would contact Carter Custom. I really felt like I was a bother, and we had to stay on top of the details. Perhaps we are too small of a customer for their line of business. 
Overall I wish them well, and their people are very nice. The overall value (price verses quality) was out of proportion due to the attention to detail and follow up (I paid close to $15,000 for a fireplace, and that didn't include the 60" TV)."

"Both jobs were done exceptionally well with great attention to detail. He and his crew were professional and courteous. The job was completed on the day they said it would be done, even a little sooner. Will definitely hire again for our next project."

"SCS Builders & Remodelers and crew did a great job of replacing specific cedar siding boards on our home while other contractors were only interested in residing our entire home. I would hire SCS in the future for any further remodeling needs. Great company to work with."

"From dream to reality we felt we had the best possible outcome every step of the way. We had a 96 ft concessions business custom built from scratch at the state fair so expectations are high. Emerald Builders overachieved everyoneâ s expectations. I would highly recommend putting your trust in Emerald builders."

"I rank Landson Construction #1 in the list of contractors we have hired in our 40 years of home ownership. Ari and his team of subcontractors recently completed a challenging remodel of one of our bathrooms--challenging because it is a very small area with limited space. Their finished job looks better than our separate remodel of a larger bathroom completed by one of the big firms that advertises daily on television. Examples: the tile work in our small shower is exceptional, and the vanity/oversized sink is a perfect match that does not dominate the small room. Ari Erickson (no relation to me) offered selections from his preferred vendors, but we had full latitude to shop on our own for all tile and fixtures. He and his subcontractors kept us fully apprised at all stages of the project, arrived promptly throughout the course of the work, responded promptly to our texts and emails, and cleaned up their work area at the end of each day. My highest recommendation: I always seek at least four bids for a major project, but I would forego that process and hire Landson Construction again for future building/remodeling projects, and would encourage friends and family to do the same."

"It went well. Filipp and his crew were efficient and did good work. My wife and I started a bathroom project and needed some additional help to finish it up. Filipp was able to put some finishing touches and help us get it done quick."

"Recently had Great Lakes Renovations totally gut our bathroom. The tiling was superbly done. The job was completed in time allotted. Cleanup was completed each night. There were no surprises or hidden /unexpected costs. The crew was professional and friendly. They listened and consulted with my wife. Smart guys."
