"The job went quite well , prep work allowed my home not to become a dust zone .it was the cleanest project ever for sanding of foyer , front and rear steps and hallway"

"The price was fair for the job done which is important however the overall job was mediocre at best. My kitchen is challenging with an 18' cathedral ceiling. I anticipated the highest parts of where the wall meets the ceiling the paint lines might not be perfectly straight. Even managing my expectations... not a single paint line is straight, they are all wavy, at the baseboard, around the door, where the ceiling height is only 8' - not a straight paint line to be found in my kitchen. Jose was very nice, cleaned up when the job was done and seemed to work hard. For those reasons I would have liked to give a better rating but when I look at the details, the job is just barely adequate."

"I met with Richard to discuss the project scope. He was professional and I received the estimate in a timely manner. Also, the estimate was reasonable. Though the community board chose a different vendor for this specific project, we would have no problems in reaching out to Walter Brown Services for future work."

"Frank was great to work with and for the most part everything went very well and my wife and I were very happy with the end results.
Things started off slightly bumpy because, unfortunately, Frank got sick the week we were supposed to begin the work so we had to push things off for a week. I totally understand that stuff like this happens so we just rolled with it. It was not such a huge deal except we had to coordinate with our dog sitter to shift things by a week. I think Frank gave us a little bit of a discount though because of the inconvenience so no harm done.
The first few days started with demoing our old bathroom entirely and building out the space into what was previously a small alcove in between our old bathroom and walk-in closet. We felt like it was wasted space that could be better used by the bathroom. This process was done very quick and professionally by Franks team headed by his foreman Renzo. We felt very comfortable working with his team because they were always very friendly and helped us to solve a few minor issues here and there (e.g. where to put light switches and electrical outlets)
Once the frame for the new bathroom was completed, they started to install the shower and lay down tile. Frank was nice enough to let us use some tile we had already purchased from Costco for the shower walls and bathroom floor. We picked out some other tile from the tile shop for the shower floor and decorative lining on the shower walls that Frank procured for us. All of this went very well and once the tile was in we were already immediately happy to see how nice it looked.
We had also pre-purchased a vanity from Costco as well that had a huge crack in the marble top that Frank pointed out to us when we un-boxed it. Frank was nice enough to delay until we could get a replacement delivered to us which took about two weeks.
While waiting on the new vanity, Frank's team started on replacing the entire upstairs carpeting. We had this really old 1980's baby blue color carpet that was pretty horrible and wearing down. We chose a very nice modern charcoal color instead. Frank had a different team of guys to do the carpet work and they were equally as nice. They were very careful when dismantling and moving any furniture in order to strip out and replace the carpet in each room. I was concerned with the furniture being moved and possibly damaged so Frank was nice enough to schedule the work on a Saturday and Sunday so I could be there to supervise and make sure everything went smoothly. As I said though, his men were very nice and seemed to know what they were doing so it wasn't really a problem. The carpet ended up looking and feeling great. 
Once the fixed vanity came in, Franks team did a very good job being careful getting it up the stairs even though it barely fit and was very heavy. I was very worried about it getting damaged going upstairs and his team were experts getting it safely into the new bathroom. The only complaint I had with the vanity installation was that the floor ended up not being level and therefore the vanity was also not 100% leveled. It was only slightly off though so it wasn't too much of a bother. The only way you can really tell is by looking at the vanity mirrors on the wall above it that are perfectly leveled. Regardless, the overall bathroom looked fantastic and we are very happy with it. 
I will attach pictures of the before and after of everything so you can see what a good job they did.
I would overall recommend Frank because he was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with.

"Everything I spent was very good, they did a very good job. I love the bathroom. They just came in, did the work and they finished when they said they would. I've got 4 quotes and they were the cheapest and the quality was great. No problem at all."

"Price – The original estimate was reasonable, BUT – the contract called for progress payments that provide Ruxton with close to 90% of project cost when less than 30% of the project is complete; Angie’s list advertised $800 discount was immediately eliminated by contract wording; close reading of contract showed that home owner will pay for any overages on selection allowances, but will not receive credit for those selections that come in under the allowance; we discovered that items shown on Ruxton drawings but not included in the contract will be at owners cost plus all appliances are at owners cost; we had requested that barn doors be included in our project. We were told they were expensive to obtain and agreed to pay $2400 apiece for them. Later we discovered they were procured from Home Depot for $499 apiece and installed in about 4 hours plus several hours for staining. Our contract specified the installation and ducting for a gas fireplace with a $2800 fireplace allowance. We selected one of the lower cost gas fireplaces for $3200 and agreed to pay the additional $400. When the job was already 45 days late we were informed that we would also be responsible to pay for the ducting cost, $1000, and fireplace installation cost, $1500. After several discussions, Ruxton agreed to cover half of the $1500 installation cost. Quality – The design and completed work has been good, BUT – rework was a constant frustration; ceiling above bar area was installed too high and had to be lowered; proposed glass shelf area was built only 3 inches deep and was eliminated by owner to reduce rework; two other shelf areas by barn doors were built too high and had to be modified; three solid wood doors were ruined during the staining process and had to be replaced; part of engineered hardwood floor was loose and had to be removed and reinstalled; two other areas of the hardwood were gouged during appliance installation and had to be pulled up and repaired; custom book shelves were ordered 12 inches deep instead of contract specified 18 inches deep and had to be modified on site; the electrician installed the wrong switches which had to be replaced; electrical wiring was not installed correctly resulting in finished wallboard having to be removed and replaced; and a twenty amp electrical line for a planned microwave was pulled but blocked by shelf installation and is not available. The bathroom shower tile was installed leaving out the trim tile. The owners removed the tile before the glue set up. We gradually lost confidence in Ruxton’s ability to work without oversight and towards the end of the job canceled a vacation to be home monitoring the work. Despite the difficult construction process, we are generally pleased with the appearance of our new family room and bath. Responsiveness – Most of the above quality issues have been corrected by Ruxton. After many complaints by the homeowner, Ruxton made some efforts to improve the rate of progress on the job. Unfortunately their efforts were too little and too late to make any real schedule improvement. Punctuality - The contract specified that the project would be completed in two months. The project has extended to over four months, more than twice the estimated duration. In addition to the issues describe elsewhere which caused delays, the project was prolonged because it was only staffed an average of two and one half days a week. We were informed that Ruxton was unable to staff the project full time due to sickness and medical issues of their contractors, contractor doctor and dental appointments, higher priority projects, contractor truck problems, and contractor personal issues. Several times subcontractors were scheduled to meet with the Ruxton foreman at the jobsite at 8am. However, the Ruxton foreman was usually not punctual forcing the homeowner to describe the work to the subcontractor. Professionalism – Frank Zeberlein’s architectural design for our project was good. Communication with Frank Zeberlein to resolve the many issues that arose during the project was very difficult. The three main Ruxton contractors that performed most of the work on our project treated us and our home with respect; however they all quit three weeks before job completion, and had to be replaced by Ruxton. Project management, coordination, and communication during construction were dismal. Frank rarely came to the site to check on progress even though his office is only 5 minutes away. The Ruxton design coordinator never visited our home. We made all of selections within the first two weeks of the contract, but many items were ordered late or not ordered by Ruxton. This resulted in delays waiting for cabinets, granite, tile, bathroom lights, and gas fireplace. The job foreman was constantly being distracted by other jobs and seemed to be unable to plan more than a day or two ahead. Materials for the job were picked up on an almost daily basis, instead of planning ahead and improving efficiency by purchasing supplies needed for the next few weeks. Scheduling of subcontractors was often untimely. Communication with us was poor throughout the project. We were routinely given milestone completion dates that were missed. Several times we were told what work would be done the next few days only to have the workers pulled off the job for several days to work elsewhere."
