"While at first glance the work looks good the contractor could use some lessons on detail. Basically, CR is painting the tile with a durable, highly adhesive paint. When painting it is customary to remove from the wall fixtures that can be removed in order to paint "behind" them-- i.e. light fixtures, electrical plates, etc. CR did none of that. They merely taped over the fixtures and went to town. The result is that around all of those fixtures I can still see a thin border with the original blue/pink tile. Worse, we informed them that one of the light fixtures would definitely be replaced with another with a smaller footprint and they still painted around it so now we have a large blue border around that fixture. In addition, CR failed to properly coordinate work with the general contractor resulting in some tiles going unpainted entirely. Some of those unpainted tiles were eventually painted but not all of them. Our experience with the durability of the product is mixed. The work in the hall bathroom has stood up to heavy use. There has been very little chipping and zero peeling. However, in the master bathroom the shower floor began to peel up less than a year after the work was complete. We called CR and it came out to repair. That repair peeled up less than a year later. We called again and CR repaired it again. It peeled up again and we called again. This time I was informed that to properly repair the peeling they would need at least $300 additional dollars. This was quite frustrating given that the shower floor had never lasted more than the one year warranty. Rather than pay for a repair I felt should have been done for in the course of doing good business I made the repair myself. I stripped off all the old paint, scuffed and etched the tile, and then used a contrasting textured concrete paint to refinish the shower floor. I looks much better and thus far has stood up much better than the original work. Overall, the quality of the work could be better as well as customer service. The product seems to be good if applied properly."

"I Asked Angie's List for help in finding a provider that could replace 4 damaged kitchen tiles.  They provided me 3 names and after reviewing reports I decided to try Tub Company.  I sent email with pics of the tile and in a day or two received a call from Jeff, the owner.  I explained I had replacement tiles and original grout. He asked a few questions but felt the pics provided enough info to give a bid over the phone.  I agreed and we set up an appointment.  Eli showed up.  He was very professional and courteous.  He did state the repair would kick up a lot of dust as grout would have to be cut with grinder.  Jeff had already alerted me to that over the phone.  Importantly I did express my concern about limiting the dust as best as possible.  Eli really did do a good job of sealing off the area as best as he could with plastic.  He also covered the kitchen cabinets, opened window and placed a fan in it to draw as much as possible outside.  He also used a grinder that had some sort of vacuum to draw as much of the dust as he could. Eli replaced three of the tiles and was able to patch a small chip in one tile so it did not need replacing, thereby saving me one of the few replacement tiles I had left in case I need a future repair.  Can't tell where chip was.  Good match. He set the tile and then let it sit overnight to get a good seal.  He then came back next morning and grouted.
I can't believe how much better the flooring looks in the kitchen.  I guess we just tolerated the cracked tiles and got used to it. My wife and I are very pleased with the job Tub Company did.

"Discouraged in my search for someone to remodel my bathroom, I stopped by the Re-bath facility in Fenton to ask questions. Angie met me at the door and was very pleasant while she explained the process and the product - no high pressure at all. Impressed by what I saw and heard, I scheduled an appointment for an in-home estimate. Linda was my design consultant. She showed up on time and brought all of her samples with her. We had a great time picking out my products (shower/bath, vanity, countertop, flooring, hardware). Linda had fantastic ideas for my space, and measured accurately. A few days later my product was ordered and approximately 4 to 6 weeks later Angie called with an install date. Brendan was my installer. He showed up on time, was very friendly, organized, detailed and neat. He completed the project in 2 1/2 days. He explained the process as he went and made sure I understood how to properly care for my product. He also communicated very well the timeframe of the process as he proceeded. The finished product exceeded my expectations and as a result, I scheduled an appointment with Linda for my second bathroom remodel. Linda did a great job of coordinating the two bathrooms. We selected the same products, but with a variation of colors. Again, Brendan was my installer and did an amazing job. And mind you he had to carry my product up three flights of stairs! If you are considering a bathroom remodel, I encourage you to consider Re-bath. They are professionals that are comparably priced and offer long-term warranties."

"I received 2 other quotes before I contacted him that I absolutely could not do.  I kept getting told that because my home was so old and the door was original to the house that it had to be custom built along with the frame and would cost thousands of dollars.  I just could not accept that.  Richard came out quickly and looked at my door and told me he would have it done within the week and he absolutely did.  He found the parts he needed and replaced the doors and replaced some of the framing within 2 days.  It was a lot of work to do.  He and his other man were very polite and professional and I would use them again.

"After the blistering summer of 2012, and hand watering all of the flowers, shrubs, trees and grass, I decided that we needed an irrigation system. So I called my favorite contractor, Dunn Home Improvements (DHI) to put it in. Josh Dunn and his crew arrived at the appointed time with all of the tools and equipment necessary for the job, professionally dressed and ready to start working.  The first day they installed a new 8 zone irrigation system and used a trencher in the yard and flower beds for the water lines.  The second and third day they laid lines and installed approximately 40 heads, a rain sensor and backflow preventer.  All three days they arrived on time and ready to work.  They also maintain the system by coming out twice a year to start my system in the spring and shut it down in the fall.  They also adjusted any heads that needed it.  They did a great job and answered all of my questions.  Great Customer Service! Now all of my plants are very happy, healthy and beautiful and I didn't have to water anything by hand.  Working with DHI folks is always a pleasure.  DHI is the only number that I call when I want to build, remodel and install.

"We wanted someone to remove the old kitchen countertops including the island top, install new counter, island top and matching back splash for the counters, install an under the counter sink with new faucet and new garbage disposal, that we had already purchased from a local hardware store and had in the garage. Oh and by the way, we wanted it done quickly; as originally we intended to do the job ourselves...onto Angie's list I went.  (I had been seeing the comercials all the time..omen I guess.)

Dennis Grosthaus with General Construction Service was very good. He called us back with in 2 hours of  leaving him a voice mail about giving us an estimate.  Dennis came to the house to look at the project and gave us the bid.  We booked the job, while he was there giving the estimate, for the following week.  5 business days only, which we loved.  Dennis did the work himself with help from his staff.  He was very professional and personable.  His estimate was very competitive when we compared  it with others (also Angie's list calls).  The work was completed in exactly the time frame he said it would be.  While he was there we had another small project ...cabinet repair in the basement bar area... and he said no problem and took care of it while he was there on the original project.

We would highly recommend Dennis and General Construction Services and look forward to using him again.  And "believe you me" for me to be pleased with a contractor is a rare thing.  From having the house built 20 years ago, basement finishing, the pool install, concrete patio surfacing and a few others along the way; we have only had rare instances (one time really) where we were happy at the end and felt it was a great experience.

Thank you Dennis...Thank you Angie's List."

"I contacted several plumbers this day and Mr. Craig was the only one that returned my call. Once I told him the problem he told me a time and a price and he was there to fix the problem. I really appreciated the fact that he was on time and very professional. I would definitely be using this company again."

"Called about leak Sunday morning. Plumber came out Monday, determined it needed replacement and notified Choice, who approved claim and permitted plumber to order new water heater. Thursday new water heater was installed. Was kept updated every day by both Choice and the plumber. Workers left my garage clean and I have hot water. Very satisfied and have recommended Choice Home Warranty on the Nextdoor app."
