"The company was awesome! I needed 2 drawers made for my kitchen cabinet. I couldn't find any other company that would make just the 2 drawers. Every company who came just wanted to give me a whole new kitchen which I didn't want. But E&V understand my needs and got it done quickly and I no longer have the unpleasant sight of 2 gaping hole in my kitchen cabinets. Thank you E&V!"

"The job went quite well , prep work allowed my home not to become a dust zone .it was the cleanest project ever for sanding of foyer , front and rear steps and hallway"

"The price was fair for the job done which is important however the overall job was mediocre at best. My kitchen is challenging with an 18' cathedral ceiling. I anticipated the highest parts of where the wall meets the ceiling the paint lines might not be perfectly straight. Even managing my expectations... not a single paint line is straight, they are all wavy, at the baseboard, around the door, where the ceiling height is only 8' - not a straight paint line to be found in my kitchen. Jose was very nice, cleaned up when the job was done and seemed to work hard. For those reasons I would have liked to give a better rating but when I look at the details, the job is just barely adequate."

"As usual, it was a wonderful experience! Frank and the guys stayed in touch throughout the whole process. It was tricky because the work was done at a rental property. We had to get our tenants to move all the furniture from upstairs to downstairs or outside. We also had to keep them off the floors and stairs while the poly dried. Frank was wonderful, working his crews around our schedules to minimize disruption to our tenants. AMS crews helped replace the furniture, then all the downstairs stuff had to go in the garage while he put in carpet. I felt Frank did an excellent job in balancing our desire for quality work, but still understanding that this was a rental property, not our own home.
The floors look incredible. The stairs are a real treat. Rental properties take a beating and we were planning to recarpet the whole house. When Frank came out to measure, he discovered hardwood flooring under the carpet upstairs. Bingo!! We will not have to recarpet again!! The price was very reasonable and I am thrilled that he discoverd the hidden jem of hardwood!
Once again, we could not be more pleased. It was another perfect job by AMS!

"We had a quote of about $11,000 and we were told that if we paint it ourselves, she would reduce the price by $800 which is what happened. We painted it ourselves. They had an expensive work. Everything had to be done. They had to gut a cabinet which was installed in the wall. We had to completely put a new wall. They had to take out the old vanity, old mirror, old toilet, and they had to redo the floor. They did the floor, the walls, and they put a cabinet. The area with the vanity fit was so odd that they did a custom design and it was beautiful and magnificent. It was the color of mahogany, some wood with a granite top and they had paid attention to all of our details, all that we really wanted on our wish list. They did everything we asked for and they did it in a timely manner. It's a family-owned and operated business so we had a husband, a father and a son all working all of the heavy stuff. Karen would ordinarily does the painting but I did it. What they did was the wall was a real problem because there was a sticky wallpaper on it which had to be fold and sprayed and it was a total nightmare. What the husband did was he put some stuff on the walls and they get nice and smooth, to get rid of all the bumps and scratches and dents. That was much easier than putting drywall in. He did a prep job for me so it was easy to paint and he didn't charge me for that. We got new lights, new fan, and we had to have a new bifold door put on because the door took up the whole room. If you open the door, if you're sitting on the toilet it would bump your knees so it was a silly design. They came up with a very creative idea of using a bifold door and they installed us for us. They did a magnificent, professional job. It was wonderful doing business with them. They did with a great sense of humor and paid very careful attention to what we really wanted. I love doing business with them. When we're going to have our other bathroom done next year, I'll definitely going to call them. I would highly recommend them."

"Price – The original estimate was reasonable, BUT – the contract called for progress payments that provide Ruxton with close to 90% of project cost when less than 30% of the project is complete; Angie’s list advertised $800 discount was immediately eliminated by contract wording; close reading of contract showed that home owner will pay for any overages on selection allowances, but will not receive credit for those selections that come in under the allowance; we discovered that items shown on Ruxton drawings but not included in the contract will be at owners cost plus all appliances are at owners cost; we had requested that barn doors be included in our project. We were told they were expensive to obtain and agreed to pay $2400 apiece for them. Later we discovered they were procured from Home Depot for $499 apiece and installed in about 4 hours plus several hours for staining. Our contract specified the installation and ducting for a gas fireplace with a $2800 fireplace allowance. We selected one of the lower cost gas fireplaces for $3200 and agreed to pay the additional $400. When the job was already 45 days late we were informed that we would also be responsible to pay for the ducting cost, $1000, and fireplace installation cost, $1500. After several discussions, Ruxton agreed to cover half of the $1500 installation cost. Quality – The design and completed work has been good, BUT – rework was a constant frustration; ceiling above bar area was installed too high and had to be lowered; proposed glass shelf area was built only 3 inches deep and was eliminated by owner to reduce rework; two other shelf areas by barn doors were built too high and had to be modified; three solid wood doors were ruined during the staining process and had to be replaced; part of engineered hardwood floor was loose and had to be removed and reinstalled; two other areas of the hardwood were gouged during appliance installation and had to be pulled up and repaired; custom book shelves were ordered 12 inches deep instead of contract specified 18 inches deep and had to be modified on site; the electrician installed the wrong switches which had to be replaced; electrical wiring was not installed correctly resulting in finished wallboard having to be removed and replaced; and a twenty amp electrical line for a planned microwave was pulled but blocked by shelf installation and is not available. The bathroom shower tile was installed leaving out the trim tile. The owners removed the tile before the glue set up. We gradually lost confidence in Ruxton’s ability to work without oversight and towards the end of the job canceled a vacation to be home monitoring the work. Despite the difficult construction process, we are generally pleased with the appearance of our new family room and bath. Responsiveness – Most of the above quality issues have been corrected by Ruxton. After many complaints by the homeowner, Ruxton made some efforts to improve the rate of progress on the job. Unfortunately their efforts were too little and too late to make any real schedule improvement. Punctuality - The contract specified that the project would be completed in two months. The project has extended to over four months, more than twice the estimated duration. In addition to the issues describe elsewhere which caused delays, the project was prolonged because it was only staffed an average of two and one half days a week. We were informed that Ruxton was unable to staff the project full time due to sickness and medical issues of their contractors, contractor doctor and dental appointments, higher priority projects, contractor truck problems, and contractor personal issues. Several times subcontractors were scheduled to meet with the Ruxton foreman at the jobsite at 8am. However, the Ruxton foreman was usually not punctual forcing the homeowner to describe the work to the subcontractor. Professionalism – Frank Zeberlein’s architectural design for our project was good. Communication with Frank Zeberlein to resolve the many issues that arose during the project was very difficult. The three main Ruxton contractors that performed most of the work on our project treated us and our home with respect; however they all quit three weeks before job completion, and had to be replaced by Ruxton. Project management, coordination, and communication during construction were dismal. Frank rarely came to the site to check on progress even though his office is only 5 minutes away. The Ruxton design coordinator never visited our home. We made all of selections within the first two weeks of the contract, but many items were ordered late or not ordered by Ruxton. This resulted in delays waiting for cabinets, granite, tile, bathroom lights, and gas fireplace. The job foreman was constantly being distracted by other jobs and seemed to be unable to plan more than a day or two ahead. Materials for the job were picked up on an almost daily basis, instead of planning ahead and improving efficiency by purchasing supplies needed for the next few weeks. Scheduling of subcontractors was often untimely. Communication with us was poor throughout the project. We were routinely given milestone completion dates that were missed. Several times we were told what work would be done the next few days only to have the workers pulled off the job for several days to work elsewhere."

"Superior customer service and attention to details. We had siding, shutters, new windows, porch rails and a new roof installed. We are extremely happy with their service."

"I was very pleased with the high quality of work from Fidel. He was insightful in helping us decide on the type of paint to get as well as choosing a color scheme that would create an accent wall and make the rooms look like something out of an HGTV magazine. He was meticulous in painting the trims and worked clean and efficient. He finished all the work on painting work on time which helped us get our tenants in sooner. For the light fixtures, Fidel also did well and now we have an up-to-date light that makes the bathroom look modern and bright. I would definitely recommend Fidel to my friends and others for work."
