Comments: We cannot recommend Glenn and his team at Mountain Construction enough! We had a small, very dated kitchen that we wanted to fully renovate by opening up space to our family room, relocating the exterior door to our deck, moving the laundry area from the kitchen to a different part of the home, implementing our unique cabinet and eating area designs and refurbishing the small bathroom off the kitchen to match. We had invested ~$100 in "Chief Architect Home Designer Suite 9.0" to come up with our preferred design for our new kitchen and laundry room. After reviewing these plans as well as our budget with Glenn, he have us a proposal that allowed us to build the exact kitchen we wanted and the basic functions of our laundry room and meet our budget target. Neither of the other two contractors we met gave us a serious proposal upon hearing the scope and rough budget. Glenn and his crew over-delivered on every aspect of the project. His contract was simple and straightforward in price and scope. Glenn remained committed to his contract price despite unanticipated issues, including replacing the entire sub-floor. He started the project almost immediately after we agreed on a contract and laid out a timeline of decisions we'd need to make from appliance selection through windows/doors, countertops, floors, lighting, plumbing and painting. His team completed the whole project in 5 weeks after anticipating it to be a 6 weeks job. Every day the crew left the project area clean and tidy. Each craftsman was courteous and proud of his workmanship from cabinets, to electrical/plumbing, to tile and painting. Each also commented on how they enjoyed working with Glenn and that we had found a great general contractor who "knows how to treat his customers". They incorporated "extras" throughout the project like re-using our old cabinets in the garage, running speaker wire and installing speakers in the kitchen and deck and designing and building a unique banquette, complete with storage, that rivals any we saw in kitchen design magazines. They minimized the disruption to having no kitchen/laundry by relocating the laundry and installing a new sink in the garage in the first 2 days of the project. They also were consistent with their work start and stop times each day. In 5 weeks we went from an idea of a new kitchen to a reality that surpassed our expectations. One word we never herd as we made decisions throughout the projects was No. If you are considering any sort of kitchen, bath, bedroom, basement remodel or addition, I would highly recommend Mountain Construction.
