"BEWARE. Mike Spitalli is very unethical. I trusted my gut on this one and it failed me. I signed a contract for labor only with him. I initially wanted him to demo my kitchen which included removing a coat closet and drywalling the wall behind it for cabinets and paint. Demo a half load bearing wall which would require a support beam and drywalling and paint, install a circulating exhaust fan, remove a click together floor and repair with a new manufactured wood click in floor. I also had a small wall in the dining area that needed to be opened up, rebuilt straight instead of angled. His labor only bid was $25,650. I was going to be provided receipts for all the building materials he provided and also had to pay those. I was providing and having cabinets and countertops installed through Lowe?s who are amazing so far. I had to pay his electrician, his plumber. My deposit to enter into a contract was about $ 3850. I rounded it up in good faith to $4000. Fast forward a couple weeks no work has started no permits just some drawings that I could submit to my association for approval. I decide not to remove the wall in rebuild it about 6? so it was straight and not angled for a beloved furniture piece. Tough decision but it seemed like too much mess with drywall, repairing the wood floor under it and painting that whole wall and possibly ceiling. I tell him to take that off and resubmit proposal. He says he can take $800 off!! What??? Out of 25k of pretty standard stuff other than that wall and load bearing wall, I?m only saving $800. I told him that was unacceptable and I would need to go back to my bids. He immediately cancels the contract and informs me I will get no money back. I was upset to say the least. I was under contract but we haven?t started anything yet. I told him I would write a scathing review all truthful. He immediately fires back that I need to back off or I will be charged with Extortion! He went as far as to call the police. I told the officer what happened and he assured me that posting honest truthful reviews is not extortion. I warned him! It was not a threat it was a promise. Now while I?m busy putting together a small claim case against him, he is apparently meeting with his ?legal team?. What happened here is a civil matter and no laws were broken. I asked him to send me a copy of the legal documents I signed and he has yet to produce them. I feel like I?m being punked. Wish me luck in small claims court. Fortunately everything is documented with texts and emails. The 30million dollar question. Why would he mind if I told our story in a review if he thought what he was doing was ethical. He accused me of trying to ?destroy my business and livelihood? His words, if he doesn?t give me my money back."

"Randy was very profession and timely, answered all our questions and sent the samples promptly. I would not hesitate to use his firm again for other projects. We got exactly what we needed."

"I owned a house that hadnà ¢à  à  t been renovated in 40 years. The plan was to knock down wall, update 2.5 bathrooms, change the kitchen layout. New floors cabinets, countertops & we painted all walls. We also added ceiling fans in all bedrooms & added recessed lights in the living room & dining room. I couldnà ¢à  à  t be more pleased with the outcome. I have since moved and I use Tyler for all of my projects."

"Loved working with Hilbert Co. They provided excellent work at a fair price. Communication was outstanding and our remodeled bathroom turned out spectacular! Thanks so much Corey & Mitch for all the care you took on our project. You didn’t miss a detail. Well, maybe one, but it was corrected without issue. I will hire them again and my family & friends have already asked “who did your remodel?” Wished every company was like this one!"

"Racist contractor. When I received call from this contractor. Immediately, I was asked if I was Hispanic. I was taken aback by the statement. I responded by asking what difference did it make. He said he was asking because of my first name, that it was an Hispanic name and I didn’t sound Hispanic. He went on to say, that they only entertained “real or serious” and some people don’t have the money for their services. At this point, it was clear he was inferring that I did not have the financial resources based on what race he thought I was. I told him, I was no longer interested in his business because he was a racist and I don’t support racist."

"I have been very happy with Amethyst! When I first contacted them, I was shocked to have a real--and friendly--person pick up my call. They have responded in a similar manner throughout my work with them: prompt, friendly, and professional. Their design work is beautiful--creative while still sensitive and responsive to my opinions/ideas. I would highly recommend them!"

"Aaron Rodriguez was very processional and prompt in communication. A large tree branch was carefully cut and removed and price was fair."

"Rodrigo and his team were great. I was able to get them in quickly and they spent a long day working on the project. It was mid-October and we decided on seed instead of sod. The grass was slow growing but it did come in, to a point. Rodrigo checked it out and said he would be back to go over it again in the spring. I believe he’ll be good on follow up. I held back one star because I’m not certain the garden bed was cultivated deeply enough. I will know better in the spring and may very well add a fifth star. I liked working with this company, found them to be reasonably priced, and I would recommend them."

"Everything went as expected, Jason was very informative and helpful. I highly recommend him"
