"There were conflicting stories between my property manager and Fireside. My property manager quoted me one price. The bill was twice as expensive. Ultimately, Fireside worked with me and I was happy."

"Not finished, but see above for what has transpired so far.

"We are beyond pleased, and continue to marvel at the fine craftsmanship provided by Heritage Hardwood Floors. We had purchased a lake home that needed a great deal of work, including lots of neglected hardwood flooring. As soon as we met Chuck, we knew we were blessed to have found him. We had such extreme confidence in him and his expertise that we ended up saying "whatever you think would be best" when it came to many aesthetic design decisions on particularly troublesome areas. He just took care of everything! He also "warmed up" the kitchen by installing new wood wainscoting and new hardwood floors. We didn't have the imagination to think of such options ourselves, so we are beyond thankful for his attention to detail (including so much trim work, on top of everything else!), dedication to the job, and on a personal note, his thoughtful kindness. We deeply appreciate the top quality of Chuck's work, as well as the customer service we received from both him and his wife Pat. Highly recommended!"

Hal and his crew were a pleasure to work with. Anytime there was a discretionary call to make, Hal would consult me to be sure he was following my wishes. His crew cleaned up after themselves daily and everyone was polite and friendly. Hal's quality of work is amazing. He cuts no corners, and he makes sure no one else does either! My husband screwed down into the deck a stabilizing bar for the steps that go down into the pool. When Hal saw the next day that my hubby had used a type of screw that would rust over time, Hal quietly replaced them with stainless steel. All the wood was nicely sanded smooth and its a pleasure to touch it.
I was actually sorry to see Hal finish up the project and move on to another job. It was nice having him and his staff around the house. Now I just need to think up another project or two to have him come back!"

"They did a good job. She had to submit like a photo but my daughter had them work on the central are of the loft. The deal was for one room. She got a lot of good ideal from her and it was worth it for her. They were professional and I did not hear anything negative."

"The job went wonderfully! Vitaly Chirnikh called me shortly after I bought the deal and was available to start the project quickly, but I needed to clear out the basement (merging two households and too much stuff to work around), do some wall painting, get some flooring installed and get base/casing/French door for the project. It took me most of the spring/summer to get that done.
I contacted Vitally in August and scheduled our project for the week of Sept. 17 - 24. I confirmed our project schedule with Vitaly the week before the start date and he showed up promptly on Monday, Sept. 17 to go over the contract, to review the project and to clarify specifics of the project. Vitaly was very professional and has pride in his workmanship.
Peter was the base/casing contractor that did the actual work; he arrived shortly after Vitaly. Peter spoke limited English, so Vitaly clarified with Peter the specifics of the project and Peter got to work. Both were very pleasant and polite.
Vitaly recommended that we take a look at the work each night and to call him if there were any issues so that they could be corrected before the job got too far along or if we needed to communicate something to Peter. He also warned me that it was going to be a bit of a dusty job.
Our basement is a walk-out, so we unlocked the basement door each morning and Peter just let himself in/out for the workday. Peter was efficient and except for nailgun/saw noises, we hardly knew he was here. 
Peter installed casing on nine doors (two were 5-ft closet doors that he worked some "trim magic" to give the closet casing a really nice look) and two windows, installed base in a bathroom, a bedroom area, a large, irregular common area, and a 16 x 14 room, installed skirt boards in an "L" shaped stairway, which can be a challenge (Peter made some "transition pieces" in various areas where the skirt boards and base met. He also installed an interior pre-hung double French door and it was installed perfectly. He also installed an "L" shaped "box" made from two pieces of oak for the ugly cement block ledge by the patio door that needed to be hidden/made pretty for future carpet. 
 
At the end of the week, Peter cleaned up the area as best he could before leaving on Friday. He put all scrap in the trash can as he worked and swept up the major sawdust and put it in the trash can, too, but it is a very dusty job and I expected to vacuum up/wipe down the fine sawdust after, which I did over the weekend. The basement looks great! We ran out of contractor time to do the caulking/nail hole filling, but that can be done later; the big stuff all got done, which was my goal for the week. All we need now is to fill nail holes, caulk, paint the base/casing and install carpet and the basement will be completely done.
I appreciated that Peter was very careful of our freshly painted walls. We had a lot of big stuff/furniture in our basement to work around and we pushed as much as we could to the middle and our intent was to move stuff around to the finished areas to open up other areas for Peter to work, but we didn't want to accidentally put stuff in Peter's way if he wasn't done in an area. Peter ended up moving some of the stuff himself, which we feel bad about as it wasn't our intent to make him deal with that aspect of the job.
Even though Peter's English was limited, communication was not a problem as he would either leave us a note (such as "need four feet of this" left on a piece of base) or he would call Vitaly, who would call me (for instance, Peter wanted to know which way we wanted the French doors to swing).
We are very happy with the quantity and quality of the work that got done and with Vitaly's professionalism and Peter's workmanship and work ethic.

"Moisture inspection by a testing company revealed major damage behind the stucco at my Savage MN property investment property which I was trying to sell while living in Pittsburgh.  I had a buyer, but this surprise issue threatened to kill the deal.  Matt Roach orhestrated a meeting with my buyers, our agents and myself where he presented a plan for repair that was key to saving the deal.  His presentation was outstanding.  He gave my buyers confidence that their new home would be repaired correctly and on time.  I was very pleased with his bid which included a range from worst case to best case.  His experience with stucco issues was the key to my "going for it" with his company.  I was not dissapointed.  The work was done on time and per plan and cost was in line with his estimates.  The home is a showpiece today!

We also found moisture problems with a home we were buying in Lakeville MN so we again called on Sunset.  Several windows and some siding had to be replaced.  Again, Sunset came through on time and on budget.  Matt's crews did everything they were supposed to do and they did it right.  Also, the site was cleaned up and spotless at the end of every day.  I was delighted with their cleanliness and professionalism."
