"They have a very honest way of doing work, which is something I appreciate."

"Our swale project is a failure. Invasive weeds, never appropriately managed, have taken over. There is no communication or follow through. The project did NOT follow the contract specifications. Do not hire this company."

"Paul Gregory is a professional in every sense of the word. His communication with me prior to and during the feasibility discussion was terrific; his ability to explain the engineering helped me “see” what he saw and the potential solutions. Without question, Paul is a highly skilled and experienced engineer, and these assets inform his creative and solid approaches to solving structural challenges. As others have noted, he is pleasant, timely, and has reasonable rates. I would not hesitate to refer him to my family and friends, and when my family moves onto the next step of our small kitchen re-model, he’s the first call I’ll make. Thanks, Paul!"

"My experience with Deborah Hannon started out very positive. She recommended things that really captured the look I was going for in my new home. She asked for payment up front and I made the mistake of overlooking this and paid for some window treatments for two rooms. When I got the quote for some wallpaper I was completely taken back on the pricing. Deborah said she would not upsell me on the prices of the wallpaper. I did some research and was able to find most of the wallpapers much cheaper. I also found an excellent wallpaper installer that was 75% cheaper than the quote from Deborah. So I told her I was going with the window treatments but not the wallpaper. She quickly responded to ask why and I was honest with the pricing was significantly higher. So I ordered soft touch Roman shades and paid in full on October 5th to be ready for a December 15th install. I was told 10 days for fabrication so thought this would be no problem. Communication was terrible after she had my money with excuses each time of why she took so long to get back. On the night before the treatments were to be installed Deborah called to tell me the soft touch mechanism was recalled and the would be manual cords. Then proceeded to tell me they would not be ready for installation. This happened on December 14. She said approximately 10 days. On Jan 9 when I had not heard I started sending emails of which were never responded to. I sent text messages never responded to. I made phone calls never responded to. Finally on Feb 2 I received a text stating they were ready and a date of Feb 6 to install. The installer who had came and put up some temp shaded came and completed the install a very nice young man. So I finally received my window treatments not exactly what I wanted and definitely a price much higher than I would have paid elsewhere. I have since read many reviews in the Cozy Cottage and it seems like I was lucky as several still have not received their product and even local businesses have commented on the dishonest business relations."

"We hired Bruce Freeman to create a new vision for the kitchen of our recently purchased 1960's home. Our project was complicated by potential structural issues with moving weight-bearing walls and a stairwell. As a former builder himself, Bruce had the knowledge to know what was and wasn't possible structurally. He listened carefully to our ideas about the style and function we had in mind for the space. He then took that information, coupled with his own expertise, to draft an initial design. He thought outside the box and had the creativity to take advantage of wonderful lighting and views in the back of our home and actually flipped the location of the former kitchen and dining room to optimize these assets. He incorporated our feedback to create a final blueprint. We were able to present these plans to contractors in order to get comparable bids from them. Once work began, our contractor and subcontractors found the blueprint so detailed and complete that they were able to use it without any further modifications to complete the project, saving us time and cost. We were thoroughly pleased with Bruce's work and would highly recommend him for your design needs."
