"Excellent job! Custom work on an old house so there were some unexpected extra steps, but all problems were resolved in a friendly and exceptional manner."

"Due to the positive reviews I saw on so many sources as well as one from a friend that had Tommys install some windows for him earlier this year, I called only Tommys when I was ready to have all of my windows replaced. All those reviews were right. Tommy showed up on time for our quote appointment and was pleasant to deal with. He is outgoing and friendly. I appreciate that he brought a sample window so I could see what the window would look like, see the features, and operation. The quoted price was lower than I had expected based on my DIY estimates. I immediately accepted the proposal and paid half by check a couple of days later. Tommys prefers checks and I was not prepared for that. I needed time to move funds from one account to my checking account in order to write a check. As I understand it, Tommy places a window order every Tuesday. We got our quote on a Wednesday or Thursday, so it was the following Tuesday before windows were ordered. I had no problem with that. Almost exactly two weeks after we accepted the quote, our windows, every one of them, were replaced in about five hours. The installers (Tommy is not an installer) were friendly, fast, and thorough. They arrived just after 7am as promised and were done with removing the 14 old windows and installing new windows by noon. The windows we had were original install single-pane aluminum with grids. We replaced them with white vinyl double-pane windows without grids. We love them. They make such a huge difference in the look of the house and makes the window opening seem so much bigger than it did before. That unobstructed view is simply fantastic. It has been almost a week since the windows were installed and I still stop to look at the windows more than I look through them. I highly recommend Tommys Windows."

"We’ve custom-built and remodeled homes on five occasions and from that perspective I give SES a solid thumbs up. They recently completed a kitchen renovation on our apartment and we are very happy with the outcome and the price paid. Perry’s estimate was detailed and specific and allowed us to complete the project as scoped for the price quoted — a first for us. The project progressed at an acceptable pace and SES coordinated well with the subs we selected ourselves for cabinets and countertops. As is the case with all builders, there were a few glitches and some of their crew were more skilled than others. Their demo crew, cabinet installer and tile guy were first-rate, their paint guys OK and their floor guy and cleaners not very good. SES addressed concerns related to the latter two with redos and fee reductions, respectively. They inadvertently disposed of $300 worth of cabinet lighting they were supposed to reuse, but they immediately agreed to replace it at their expense. Similarly, I had asked them repeatedly to provide me with copies of receipts for parking so I could get these reimbursed by the insurance company (the project was necessitated by water damage caused by our upstairs neighbor) but they neglected to do so and as a result offered to not charge us for parking (which HAD been included as a line item in their bid). Owner Shawn was very personable and responsive, and office manager Ashley was a pleasure to deal with, keeping things moving along and ensuring punch list items and other requests were addressed in a timely fashion. Communication generally was excellent. There were no times when anyone became difficult to work with, another first for us. I would gladly use SES again and I recommend them without reservation."

"I would highly recommend JCT solutions. We had a room replastered and a new attic access installed. JCT were great at communicating from the beginning and throughout the project. Mark is professional and they are reasonably priced. The plastering team were efficient, worked well together and cleaned up after the project was completed. We are really happy with the end result and would work with Mark and JCT solutions again! Thank you for making our spare room usable again!!"

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."
