See What Customers Had To Say About Us
Rusty was great to work with! He remodeled our master bathroom to exactly how we wanted it. He thought of things we didn’t that made the space perfect. He’s very reliable and easy to work with. Would highly recommend for your home project.
Rusty was great! He was able to help me out on a last minute project and schedule me in on a Saturday afternoon! He kept in contact and did a great job! Highly recommend using him.
Rusty is reliable and consistent and very detail oriented.
Rusty is awesome!! Honesty, integrity and excellence are the three words that describe him and his craftsmanship! You will not be disappointed!
Had two large walk in closets that were finally cleaned out and needed new flooring. Rusty and Chris did an outstanding job pulling up the carpet, laying new hardwood, painting the trim and staining and installing the shoe molding. In addition he replaced, caulked and painted about 20 feet of damaged family room base boards. All in one day. We are very pleased with the work they did, the attention to detail and his clean up process after. I would definitely recommend Rusty!
Rusty did an excellent job replacing my garden tub and re-tiling the walls around it. He was conscientious, polite, honest, and very hard working. He listened to my ideas and fulfilled them. He is very easy to do business with.
