"Klis was excellent. Jack was responsive, communicative (when running a few minutes late due to traffic), and he and his brother did a great job with the floor board replacement. Despite sawing and sanding in the house, they managed to keep the mess to a minimum and cleaned up when they were done. The replacement boards look great! (And they are not squeaky, unlike all the other boards in this old house.) Would absolutely hire them again."

"First of all, we are happy with the finished product of our master bathroom and walk-in closet. We are NOT happy with the owner of this business and his handling of our project. Jeff took time to design our space over several meetings. He promised that he would be available to choose tile/granite/light fixtures/plumbing fixtures whenever we needed him. Timeline was discussed with a 6 week from contract start and a project time of 3 weeks. Permit submission was done by myself with plans drawn by Jeff. We failed the permit process with 14 items that were not addressed due to insufficient drawings. Additional time/effort was required by Jeff and us to meet the requirements to meet code, which pushed our project back several weeks. We also paid more for the project due to Jeff needing to insure his workers for our village (a cost he should have known upfront). With new drawings, we re-submitted and were approved for work to begin. I can't say enough about the FANTASTIC workers that Jeff has on his team. They were courteous and did excellent work and even suggested design modifications that made sense. One of our first tasks was to pick out a granite surface. Jeff gave us the name of a granite place and that he'd meet us there. He NEVER showed. We picked granite on our own that day. We ordered tile - on our own. We chose lighting, plumbing, fixtures, and paint colors - on our own. The next time and ONLY time we saw Jeff for the duration of the project was when he delivered the vanity and asked for money (same visit). The total project ended up taking over three months to complete. Due to various project modifications/additions, we had no idea what our final invoice would be. We waited and waited for some type of final figure. 8 months after the project was completed we finally received a remaining balance invoice for over $11,000. We were shocked to receive this invoice so far after the project was completed. Jeff explained that COVID and not having an office manager were reasons behind us not getting an invoice before then and that we fell between the cracks. While we don't argue the price, we did not appreciate the length of time it took him to get the job done, nor the amount of time before we received a final invoice. When we offered to pay $2,000 each month for the next six months we were sent a very threatening email offering us three options for payment in full NOW. Suddenly this money is due NOW when he has carried this receivable for 8 months already? We will NEVER recommend Artistic Kitchen Concepts (Jeff) to anyone in the future. His involvement in the project started out well, but dropped off to the point where we never saw him, had no further input from him, and didn't receive an invoice until 8 months after the project was completed."

Wool insulation commands a higher price point than traditional fiberglass options. Mineral wool starts at $1.40 per square foot for materials, while premium sheep's wool can reach $4 per square foot. The higher cost reflects wool's superior performance characteristics, including better fire resistance, moisture management properties, and environmental benefits. Many homeowners find this premium worthwhile for the improved insulating performance and natural composition.
The value proposition of wool insulation extends beyond basic thermal performance. Natural wool products resist fire without the need for chemical treatments, manage moisture effectively, and offer excellent durability. Unlike many synthetic alternatives, wool insulation materials are renewable resources with minimal environmental impact. For homeowners concerned with indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and sustainable building practices, the additional investment often justifies itself through performance and peace of mind.
Mineral wool installations can last up to 50 years when properly installed and maintained in dry conditions. Sheep's wool has a longevity comparable to fiberglass options, while hemp wool's lifespan estimates vary widely, ranging from 20 to 100 years, depending on the quality of installation and environmental conditions. With proper moisture control and ventilation, wool insulation maintains its insulating properties for far longer than many alternative materials, making it a durable and long-term investment.
