EYE 4 DESIGN

Our remodel went smoothly from start to finish. Nick's estimate was clear and detailed. There were no hidden costs and everything was broken down into segments so you could see exactly what you were paying for. I have never seen a clearer or more detailed estimate from anyone who has worked at my house. The remodel was brought in at exactly the estimated cost and time. Every detail was enumerated in the original estimate and there were no surprises. The crew was very professional and knew their crafts. I was nervous about the project and they certainly inspired confidence. Nick was very attentive to our wants and needs. He showed up everyday to check on the progress of the remodel. He always responded to e-mails and phone calls promptly. From start to finish working with Nick and his crew was easy. Most importantly we were able to work with Nick and his crew to achieve exactly what we wanted without any compromise. I would definately call Eye4Design for any future projects at my home.

Everything about them was good. I would rate high overall. I would use them again in the future.

Through out the project Nick (the contractor) stayed in touch with me and the most important part was that he always got back to me immediately. Never a hassle, never. I was lucky and only ran into one bad contractor through my project, but these guys were fantastic and truth be told, I don't give compliments easily. They've earned it. Thank you Nick, Mike, Bob and the rest of your capable crew. I will send you pictures of the finished project.

We have a small room right in the middle of our house that had crumbling walls. We have had many look and say it is a nasty big job to replace the, but Nick came and gave us an estimate, which was well within our expectations. He convinced us to use veneer board and plaster, instead of regular dry wall, mud and tape. This was a great idea for our old house. We scheduled a time to do the work, and stayed in touch via email. On the first day of the job, he and his crew showed up on time. They demolished the walls and ceiling and had everything hauled away before we even got back to look at it. They were on the job every day until it was finished. They were wonderful: cheerful, dog-friendly, professional, neat, left things in tidy order at the end of each day's work. Each step was done in a timely manner, and each step was done with care, and the finished product was everything I had hoped for. I hope to be able to hire this crew again for the rest of the rooms in this house!

A plumber, called to unclog a clogged bathtub drain, reported that a toilet leak beneath our bathroom tiles, had rotted the underfloor to an extent that neither the floor nor the bathtub were adequately supported and had become a safety hazard. It appeared that both the tile floor and wood underfloor would have to be removed and reconstructed at a cost which could run as high as a few thousand dollars. We phoned Nick Reynolds of Eye 4 Design, who had worked for us previously, and whose competence and integrity we trusted completely, and requested that he assess what needed to be done. Nick assessed the damage and said he would have his "framer" come out to corroborate his opinion that it would not be necessary to totally remove and reconstruct the bathroom underfloor. Once this was done, the work was undertakened and completed as described above.

It went very well - even though a small job, I am very satisfied

They are terrific. They stay on schedule, do what they say they are going to do and are very organized. They are very professional, we were very comfortable with them. We can just give them a key and tell them to go for it. The place where they were doing the work was vacant and we had no problem with them working while we weren't there. They aren't the cheapest, but they do quality work. They were good and they also finish concrete floors.

A quick evaluation of job..a price and the work done within a week and it all looks original

They were good and they friendly. They talked with me whenever I wanted to talk. Their price was good and competitive.

The guy was fabulous. He was terrific and he didn't shift the information so he would get a job out of it. I would call him and trust him with a bid in the future.

Nick Reynolds and his team worked on renovating our bathrooms. They did demolition, plumbing, electrical, LOTS of tile work, and finish carpentry. Nick has a very easy communication style. He was always responsive to my questions ? email and texting worked great! The contracts were clear and easy to understand. Quotes were detailed, thorough, and very fair. All of his team members (except for one plumber) were very punctual; if they said they would be there at 7am, they were there at 7am. If they were going to be a little late, even 10 minutes, they called me before the time they were suppose to arrive to tell me. All of the work was top notch and completed as estimated. We had picked out our own tile and the tiles were handmade, so they were not perfectly square nor were the thicknesses consistent. It was a challenge for them to get the lines straight and the surfaces even, but they worked hard and made the effort to cut and fit to make sure it worked visually. The bathrooms look great. In fact, as they worked and we saw what a good job they were doing, I asked for quotes and got them to work on a couple additional projects for me, such as wiring the carport. They were all very professional and they all showed a great deal of respect to our house ? everything in it and around it. They always cleaned up after themselves everyday, too. We have already recommended them to 3 different friends, and I highly recommend Nick and his team (Mike, Jacob, and Bob) for you too!

At first I asked if he did small jobs and said it depends....???? I explained what I wanted done, then he asked me where I lived. He then said he doesn't travel that far!!!!!!!!..This guy is 13.9 miles from his door to mine. Is the economy that good and this guy is so busy that he plays the "We don't go that far"card? Unless you live within 13.9 miles from him, don't bother calling

Nick and everyone that came to my home to perform work were always on time. I felt very comfortable leaving a key for them as I was usually at work when they came. Everyone was polite and they always left the the work area clean at the end of each day. The work was completed on time and the only change in the quote was due to a change in the flooring material made by me.

We were very pleased with all of the work. What sets Eye4?s owner, Nick, apart from most contractors out there, is that he is very customer-oriented. He is very approachable, easy to communicate with, responsive to any questions/concerns that might arise, and very patient with answering all my questions. He also demonstrated considerable patience in interfacing with other contractors we hired (such as for the Corian and the flooring). He will give suggestions, but doesn?t get offended if you decide to make a different choice. Another trait that stands out with Nick is his integrity. He is honest, up front and plays it straight. When a bump in the road arises ? as they typically do in contracting work ? he makes things right. His bids are clear and competitive, and he gave an accurate estimate of the length of the job. We were comfortable with his workers in the home and communicating with them, and they did a good job of cleaning up each day. Nick is one of those rare quality folks, and we would definitely hire him again should the need arise.

Nick came out to see our house, onto which we wanted to put a 400 sq ft addition. He took a copy of the plans, asked a few questions, looked around the house...and then we never heard from him again. If our job was too small, or he was too busy, that's perfectly fine, but some kind of follow-up would have been professional.

We were not able to get into the house until escrow closed, so Nick came to appraise the situation at the beginning of August. We had all the work permitted and he got the permits submitted within a week and started the demolition right away. We had a lot of the wall-breaking and sanding/refinishing done before we moved in at the end of August. After we moved in the guys were in the house most every day for the next couple of months and it was hectic getting all this work done while we lived there. I believe that Eye4 made the experience as comfortable as possible for us, however, as the men were polite and friendly throughout and tried to clean up after themselves as much as possible while in mid-job. Hats off to the gentlemen: Nick, Mike, Art-paint, Evan, Gareth, Bill, Bob, Jacob, Jim, Donald, Art-floor, Sam). Nick kept us apprised of any difficulties that arose as an old house holds many surprises and every time we made changes to the job, he would send an updated itemized quote, that detailed additions and subtractions. Payments were based on specific milestones throughout the job; the downpayment was only $1000, followed by payment for permits and 7 progress payments. The original quote underestimated final cost by only $275 (out of $48,000, without the work I added mid-job). Naturally everything did not get finished as first predicted, but it was a large job with a lot of components, slowdowns based on ordering and quirks of past remodels, etc. All-in-all it took them 3 months to complete the above listed work (and I'm sure I forgot some things) and the work is of the highest quality. Someone may be able to do it faster, but not better. Our master bathroom is a showpiece, with gorgeous tile-work and a masterful use of the space. I started calling Nick my design guru. Whenever something went wrong, and it always will, they always corrected it without complaint and usually without my ever needing to mention it. They have a lot of pride in their work. I will definitely use them again and already have one more bathroom and a garage remodel scheduled to start next year. And in the future, who knows?

He was fabulous and made beautiful bookshelves for me. He was on-time, did exactly what he said he is going to do and his co-workers who helped him in the project were first grade. He did a beautiful job and I am very pleased with him.

Nick was very quick to respond to our initial inquiry. He was very helpful in answering our questions and giving us advice about different ways to accomplish the job. He gave us a bid that seemed very fair, and we scheduled the work immediately. The person who actually did the tile work (Bill) was extremely meticulous and did a very professional job. Watching him work, you could see how tedious it could be to really get everything perfect, as well as to deal with the inevitable unforeseen problems like light switches in the wrong place and walls way out of square. He handled everything patiently and with a real artist's eye. The floor was done after the backsplash, and again the work was done in the most professional way. As happens with most projects, this one took a few days longer than anticipated and was not finished by the Friday before the Labor Day weekend. Leaving it unfinished would have left us without appliances over the holiday weekend (they had to be removed to install the floor), so Nick and a large crew came on Saturday of the holiday weekend and worked from 7 am until about 4 in order to finish. They did so with no extra charge.

Everything turned out well, and I liked their work. He was a really good guy to work with. He was able to make recommendations about materials and colors, which I appreciated. The kitchen and bathroom look great and I would certainly use him again.

He was reasonable, prompt, easy to work with and resourceful.

Nick and his crew (thank you Evan, Art and Bob) are super professional and detail oriented. They are courteous, clean , honest, punctual, patient and D*** good at what they do!!!! Nick is really great when it comes to problem solving and design ideas which I found to be really helpful with our project. I really can't say enough good things about them and can't wait to hire them again.

From the time we met Nick and received his estimate untl the last bit of debris was removed, we were completely satisfied. Nick and his entire crew were a pleasure to have in our house during the four weeks it took to complete the work. Each member of the Eye4Design crew arrived promptly, worked professionally, and produced high quality work. Nick is a man of integrity who has exacting standards which we appreciated.

The project went extremely well. Nick Reynolds, owner/general contractor, sealed off the kitchen opening so that dust and debris would not affect the rest of the house. Teardown was efficient, done in one day, with everything hauled away and cleaned up by the end of the day. Nick kept me informed of what would take place each day. As a general contractor, he effectively orchestrated each part of the remodel--cabinet installation, electrical, plumbing, painting, countertops, so that progress was visible daily. Early on, I could see that Nick had very high standards for the workmanship. He monitored the quality of the work and redid anything that didn't meet his standards. All of his workers and subcontractors were friendly, courteous, and informative. Nick took care of any problems that arose by discussing the problem to seek the best solutions. One of the subcontractors scratched my hardwood floor (5" scratch) when moving an appliance stored in the living room, and Nick had one of his crew sand, seal, and paint to remove all signs of the scratch. I inspected each completed part and made note of any questions I had or touchups needs. Each was addressed and checked off. At the end of the process, I have a beautiful, new kitchen, one that is much more functional and easy to work in. I will upload photos later (camera battery needs recharging)

The impetus behind this bathroom remodel was a leaky shower pipe that forced me to remove a bunch of tile from the shower, leaving me with a gaping hole covered by a plastic sheet. I had two choices - either I search high and low to find the same hideous tile from the 60's, or I tear out everything and start from scratch since the ugly tile covered almost every surface in the bathroom, from the vanity to the floor to the shower. This is where Nick came in. I called him to come look at the bathroom and he gave me several options, price ranges, and time frames, all depending on how much work I wanted to be done. He emailed me an itemized estimate in the next day or two, and feeling that the estimate was fair, I decided to go with Nick and do a total remodel of the bathroom. Nick was really great about keeping to the set timeframe (about a month) even when the plumbing hit a snag (an issue unrelated to the bathroom remodel). All of his guys were friendly, hard-working, and always showed up at the time they said they would. I appreciated that his workers would ask me about certain details before they went ahead and did something. And Nick as well had a keen sense of the details and on several occasions helped me solve some design questions. He definitely brought ideas to the table that I never would have thought of, like putting a slab of caesar-stone on the sink ledge, or building a shelf above the end of the bathtub. Now that the bathroom is all finished and looks amazing, it's those details that really stand out and give the bathroom its character. It was also very cool that Nick had a knowledge of Craftsman era bathrooms, which fits the style of the house. And with any additional issue that came up after the estimate, he would always give me the price and the option to say yes or no. Great communication and just a really great attitude all around.

Nick was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. He understood just what was required and described just what we could expect. Art, who did the work, did a clean and thorough job with good attention to detail. The price we were charged was based on the actual time spent on the job and came in on the low end of the initial estimate Nick gave us. We would not hesitate to use Eye 4 Design for a bigger job.
