Major Renovations
"Major renovation of multiple rooms (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room). Chris made my first experience renovating a place very easy and low stress. Was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process and the quality of the work was great."

"David and his team are awesome. Our master bathroom needed repair after water damage led to the discovery of mold among other issues. While a complete gut remodel was not in our budget, David was able to focus on the areas that were most important to us. Our bathroom looks great and we have peace of mind knowing that everything was done properly and professionally. I would highly recommend this company, they work hard and deliver great results, making us happy customers."

"We were very happy with DemoWorks. The price was fair, the work was good and the workers friendly. Initially, my husband and I hired DemoWorks to remove two small walls/doorframes and to drywall our front hall closet. This was no easy feat considering our house is 100 years old, has mostly plaster walls, and had an old exterior wall now acting as an interior wall in our home. We also wanted, what we thought were, two old, capped gas pipes removed from our living room wall. When Monfilio and Drake arrived to do our project, Monfilio immediately stated that he believed the gas pipes were actually old electrical boxes. At this point, we had several estimates from other companies on the cost of removing these gas pipes and, yet, Monfilio was literally the only person to suggest that he believed these capped pipes were actually electrical and when we opened up the wall, he was right too. Monfilio was always willing to offer advice and information about the construction of our house. You could tell he has a great passion for homes. There was a small misunderstanding and he was willing to fix it so that we were completely happy with the project. He even stayed late (unprompted) to make sure it was 100% complete before he left. Long-story short, we were so impressed with the work that they have done for us that we actually asked them to come back to remove a third doorframe, after our first project was completed. At this point, all of our projects have been completed and we are very happy with the results. It is also worth noting that all the employees that have worked with us on our projects have been professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We will definitely be hiring them to help us with other projects around our old home."

"We had a linen closet built in our master bedroom & a long section of concrete from an old patio cut away to give us a little more driveway space & we would recommend this company without hesitation! John came out to give us an estimate within a day of the request & was very courteous & positive about our request. Love that he said, "no problem" when he heard what we wanted done. & we couldn't be happier with Peter's work! He did a great job & was always on time & very professional & courteous. We trusted them in our home & will definitely hire this company again!"

"unfortunately, I drove through my garage. don't ask, an embarrassing accident. I thought the garage would be a teardown, but they were able to put it back together ,and get my car out for me. All the repairs were done quickly and expertly. I was very thankful that I found them. They have a Better Business rating of A+ and I would certainly use them again for any remodeling or projects for my home."

"Dan just finished a full basement renovation for us and we couldn't be more pleased with his work. Before meeting with Dan, our basement was a complete disaster from top to bottom. He came in and created a perfect floor plan to make our basement exactly what we needed. Everyone was always on time and Dan oversaw all of the work being done. For the quality of work, Daniel Henry Builders is very fairly price. He followed through with everything we discussed and exceeded our expectations! I couldn't find a vanity in the stores that I liked for our bathroom, Dan quickly offered to make a custom piece that is absolutely beautiful! His attention to detail and creativity added so much character to the design. From the first day meeting with Dan, my husband and I knew he was the guy for the job. He is very approachable and was very accommodating with any issues he had to work around. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend Daniel Henry Builders, they won't disappoint!"

"Jim from Independent Remodeling is a great contractor who works with a great team and I highly recommend him to anyone. He helped us out when another contractor abandoned our complete Rehab job and gave us a great price and was SO patient with the whole project. We ran into problems and delays with both the bank and the city and Jim was great about it all. His team did an excellent job on our home and we are very happy with the time it took and the end result. He is reasonably priced and works with your budget as much as he can and he stands behind his work!We will definitely be calling him for future projects!"

Frequently asked questions
- It’s important that you verify their license is still in good standing. Also keep in mind that certain states or provinces don’t require licensing if the job is under a certain dollar amount.
- You can find a list of your state’s licensing requirements on the HomeAdvisor website. Before you get to work with the pro, make sure their qualifications are current and acceptable to you.
- It is always a good idea to get a copy of the pro’s insurance certificate for future records, and in case anything happens. This is a good way to feel more secure in your home project, and to weed out potential scammers.
HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
- Have you completed a job like this before?
- Do you have a list of references I can contact?
- When are you able to start the job?
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
- How many years of experience do you have?
- What’s your permanent business address?
- Are you licensed to work in my area?
- When did you earn your business license?
- How do you handle warranty service complaints?
- Do you have worker’s compensation, property damage and personal liability insurance?
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
