Awesome! Duane & Adam were very responsive, quick to identify the issues & offered cost effective solutions when other contractors ghosted us after the initial contact or just didn’t respond at all. Duane & Adam went over and above to ensure we received quality & affordable services in a timely manner. We will definitely use them in the future.

Duane was wonderful to work with to say the least. He was unbelievably helpful to me in the overall planning of my project and always responded quickly when I would reach out with questions. This ensured I ordered the right materials and even offered helpful suggestions which I had not thought of, such as installing a reverse osmosis filter system for drinking water. I had Hinckley Springs 5gal bottle delivery prior and it's so nice not having a huge water dispenser taking up space anymore, not to mention lugging those heavy bottles either. From tear out to completion, Duane and Adam worked efficiently and carefully. They were happy to help when I asked for a few extra items to be added such as installing new ceiling fans. The final result is beautiful and I'm so happy with my new kitchen and flooring! I would absolutely recommend hiring Duane and Adam ?

Duane was a pleasure to work with. He listened to our needs or concerns and addressed them in a timely fashion. He gave a very fair quote on our bathroom and was always on time start to finish. Duane is already going to do some general contracting work for me this winter.

This is our first experience with contractors (in any sense), so my wife and I were a bit nervous. Duane and his employees were prompt, courteous, and willing to answer any/all questions. Mind you, my wife is a bit picky about things, so the process required overview by the 'boss', and Duane was more than accommodating.

Duane did and excellent job measuring and installing my quartz countertops, tilting the backsplash, plumbing the sink and was also able to take care of installing the floor, adding an outlet, toe kicks and baseboards. He does amazing work, paying attention to detail and also involves the customer in decision making along the way. A+ would definitely recommend him highly. Thank you Duane!

Took a bit longer than I expected, but otherwise very well. Duwane and Adam, were great to work with. Saw smaller details and took care of them all part of deal. Picked, and carried up cabinets, and everything else ordered online.

It wasn't just hanging the microwave. Cupboards had to be moved, shelving built and drywall replaced. The new molding and shelve was made to match the original. It was done well. You would never guess that the unit and new set up had not been built into the original 1975 kitchen! Bravo! I would give six stars if I could.

Duane gave me a very reasonable quote, and was willing to make a last minute change to the project per my request. Him and his team were on time, very friendly and finished in a very reasonable amount of time. He was also able to do all the jobs needed, building walls, install plumbing and electrical. His team is a one stop shop. The work they did was great, and I couldn't be happier with the job done. I will most definitely hire him again.

My bathroom looks gorgeous! Better than most hotel/motels. I HIGHLY recommended Duane and Adam they did a great job , worked very hard and are very nice men. This was not an easy remodel. They had to jack hammer my floor to move some plumbing because I don't have a basement. They dry walled, did electric work, laid my laminate flooring and put in a fantastic walk in shower. It is beautiful! They did extra little things for me that I didn't even ask them to do and if I wanted an adjustment on anything they did it with no problem. They went out of there way many times to do things for me that were not even included in the job. I have done alot of remodeling on my house in the last 3 years and not all jobs went as well as this one. I am so glad that I found them on Angie's list. Give them your work you won't be disappointed. They are a family owned business so you work just with them. No middle man, I like that very much. AND their prices were better than any other plumbers I had talked to. Some plumbers even told me it was impossible job it was so complicated. Duane said right away no problem we can do this. Thank You Guys!!
