Cobblepot Services started as a real estate investment company that specializes in flipping houses. Frustrated with the contractor experience of poor communication and not meeting deadlines, we developed a system for installing kitchens to make the process more streamlined and seamless. This process takes a lot of the pain out of the construction experience. Our design experience in flipping houses has helped us in learning functionality and aesthetics along with helping the home owner with resale value.
"Earl did an outstanding professional work. Our kitchen looks great and very modern. He also installed lights in out dinning room and living room. It seems like we live in a new house. He did a great work."

"He finished the roof but did not tell me about the error in his workmanship. He did not finish the whole work. Update 12/22/2021: He finished the roof and said he fixed the problem, he showed me how he was to complete the repairs and after it was complete the work was not done in the manner he said he would do it. A new problem was noticed with the shingles and they are overhanging on a peak of the roof and are not attached and will blow off with high winds. The second part of the job, to put two sides on the shed was not done properly, he is charging me to come out to fix it, which is ridiculous, that is why contractors put that in their estimates. He was going to come out on a Saturday but change to Friday since it was going to rain on Saturday, when he called me and by the time he arrived on the job site it would be dark, I told him I did not want him to work in the dark with a flashlight. he keeps giving me excuses on why he cannot come out on certain days for personal reasons. The job should have been completed in October, except for his constant excuses for not being able to come out. If the problems are not resolved by the end of the year I will escalate this by other means."

"I contracted this company to renovate two full size bathroom and a powder room. All the bathrooms were totally gutted. The workmanship was excellent at par to a 5 star hotel. The tile was immaculate and the overall finish was stunning. I would hire Nick at any time. My only regret was that I should have engaged him at the star of the project which would have saved me a lot of money. Well hindsight is 20/20"

"I am still waiting for the return of my deposit as it has been a week since I put this review on hold after putting in the notice that day 24 June of cancellation by email and next day mail. As I have said before I am a disabled Vet, Senior citizen with health problems. I have copies of the emails that I sent on the days of 06/24/2023 and by next day Mail on the 27th notarized copies of the cancellation. Tried calling but went to voice mail. No work has been done so a rating cannot be done on the work, only the price. This job was way overpriced and never got the chance to compare. The salesman was a good person but I have my family doing it for thousands less."

Installing a barn door can be straightforward under the right conditions. When there is ample, clear wall space and the installation involves only attaching tracks and mounting the door, the process is relatively simple. However, if obstructions such as electrical outlets, door frames, or wall fixtures must be modified or removed, the installation becomes more complex and requires professional expertise. A professional can make these adjustments safely and efficiently, ensuring the door operates perfectly and enhances the overall space.
A bottom track is necessary, especially as the door's weight increases. Without a bottom track, heavy doors can swing against the wall and cause damage. The bottom of the door should be half an inch from the floor to ensure proper clearance. Sliding doors also need a bottom guide to prevent the door from coming off the track.
Barn doors can enhance a home's value by creating a distinctive look and improving interior functionality. Homes with barn doors can command a higher sale price compared to those without them. Barn doors introduce a modern design element that opens up living spaces and effectively conceals storage areas. This upgrade not only improves the overall aesthetic but also increases the property's market appeal through added versatility and visual interest.
Yes, a barn door should be larger than the opening. The door should be two to three inches wider than the opening and about one inch taller to ensure proper coverage. Rooms requiring more privacy, such as guest rooms and bathrooms, need additional overlap to reduce noise and eliminate gaps.
