Gee Mrs. [Member Name Removed], Sorry you weren't taken care of. I'm not going to even go into the numerous possibilities of why you were not called back. Nor am I going to beg your forgiveness. I hope you have a nice day and that someone is kind to you today.

Description of Work: Denise came to give me an estimate on grout repair. She said that she was not the right person to do the job. However, she advised on what she thought needed to be done and even demonstrated how I might do some of the work myself in order to save money. She did not charge me for the visit or the advice. Great experience.

Description of Work: Our bathroom was completely remodeled, including new tile shower, tile flooring, new vanity, sink, toilet and all associated plumbing. Everything was done with attention to detail, and the quality of work is readily evident. She also has a network of related tradesmen to perform specialty work (Cabinetmaker, Plumber, Electrition, Glazier) | I highly recommend Denise for any remodeling needs, especially for bathroom or kitchen remodel projects involving tilework

Description of Work: Denise worked to lay a back splash in our kitchen. She was meticulous and thorough even cutting the smallest pieces to make each sides of the window symmetrical! Would def use her again for any of my tile work....
Description of Work: We hired Women In Construction to remodel our main bathroom and the results are outstanding. Although we had hoped to for a walk-in shower, Denise helped us realize what we could and could not do due to building permits. She also uncovered and repaired problem spots in the bathroom such as water-damaged & rotted studs and cracked iron pipes. Our outdated, moldy acrylic-wall bathroom is now transformed into a tranquil, beautiful bath with a stone vessel sink, custom cherry vanity with upper storage cabinet, a tile-enclosed tub surround (a new Kohler tub!) with matching tile floor, Moen brushed-nickel hardware throughout, a glass tile backsplash, new ABS pipes, and a bathroom fan that removes the shower steam so quickly, the mirror does not even have time to fog up! Denise and her helper, Andrew, were there every morning at the appointed time, very professional and yet still very friendly and approachable. They kept us updated on everything they were doing so there were no surprises and no questioning what needed to be done. They even completed work on our master shower that a previous contractor did not quite complete 2 years before. Her plumber, electrician, and cabinet-maker were great to work with also. Thanks, Denise, Molly and Andrew! Would definitely hire again!

Thank you so much for your time and appreciation. [member name removed], I can honestly say that you and your husband work hard too. You took the time to make sure your dog's were out of our way during the remodel and were always available when we had questions. You were very quick to choose a backsplash at the end so that we could finish the whole project and you kept us furnished with fresh cold water every day. Thank you for your patience and your kindness. Denise

Maybe next time you could try calling back. Sometimes life is hectic. Especially for those of us that care so much about pleasing people that we work 7 days a week. My work hours and days are long. I am a small company and I do not have a secretary. I field my own calls, pick up my materials and put in some 10hour days and longer. I am human. I am sorry if you were overlooked . Have a nice day.

I contacted this company through Angie's List and they never contacted us back. The "todo" list was the following: 1) Baseboards installed in great room. We were very surprised that they didn't even call. Work done by another company was $1,000. I guess it's easy to see who wants to work and who doesn't

I never received a call from this homeowner. I consider myself extremely responsive to the individuals that call me, and return any phone calls I receive, even if their needs are outside my area of expertise. If this person had called me I would have directed him to a source that could have accommodated his needs--I am a tile contractor, not a finish carpenter. I take tremendous pride in my work and always go above and beyond for every customer I work for. I'm glad you were able to find someone to take care of your needs, and I'm sorry that you felt the need to slander my reputation over a missed phone call.

Women In Construction were truly a miracle team in helping to manage not only one project, but many in our move to a house that was not livable when we purchased the property. They did all the demo work themselves, and worked from very early every day from 7 am until very late and even weekends to keep on schedule. I have not seen such attention to detail and follow through in any group before Women in Construction. Their willingness to be available and listen, and teach me what needed to be done was incredible. From choosing fixtures, to finding painters, etc, etc. they kept my best interests in mind. constantly. The quality and craftsmanship of the tile work has received many compliments.
Description of Work: Complete remodel of outdated master bathroom which included redesigning of tub and shower enclosure. Floor needed to be rebuilt and all plumbing pipes and fixtures replaced. Redesign included all new fixtures, new tub, shower enclosure, granite counter tops. Travertine natural stone replaced ceramic tile on floors, surrounding tub and shower floor and walls. Women in Construction did all the demolition work required, prep work and install of all tile. They managed other sub contractors for carpintery, plumbing, electrical, glass work, and granite installation. Also, extra work done in Guest house to remove drywall due to flood damage. Replaced drywall and preped walls for painters. Replaced floor tile in Pool bathroom and laundry room with ceramic tile.

Denise made sure that the work was done correctly and she had a good attention to detail. She made sure to ask questions about the little things that I hadn't thought of (e.g. the edges). The work was done quickly (it took two days) and it came out beautifully. The quality of the craftsmanship is apparent when you see the finished product and I hope to enjoy my new wall for many years to come.

Denise McEwan and her helper definitely had a great attention to detail!! They made the caulking lines so straight and perfect that it looked like new tile(tile was 12 years old). They were prompt and professional and thorough. I would hire them again in a minute to do an entire kitchen or just tile sealing or grouting.
Description of Work: I discovered this company after I had tile installed by another company that I was not happy with. I would definitely have chosen Women in Construction to install tile. For this job, however, they removed and re-caulked silicon caulk around the tub, shower, all kitchen counters and bathroom counters where the tile had shifted and was definitely cracked. They also sealed my newly installed bathroom floor tiles.

Despite the fact that our 90 year-old house probably doesn't have a right angle in it, the work does not give that away. Why? Every effort was given to making sure the idiosyncrasies of this old house were taken into consideration and met the high standards this company sets for itself. From the beginning, Denise's sharp eye & experience, as well as Molly's clear words in writing a thorough contract (and the necessary addendum), gave us the information we needed to feel we'd chosen professionals we could trust. Since the job was done the week between Christmas and New Year's, the residents were in the house while they worked. While we expected the demo to be messy and loud, we were amazed at the amount of detail that went into re-building the floor, especially the number of judgments that had to be made to accommodate its irregularities throughout the process. The entire project was a learning experience. When the tile was in and it was time to choose the grout, the four of us deliberated in the afternoon until we came up with a color that worked well. However, before purchasing it, Denise insisted that we confirm our choice during the brighter light of day. How smart that was, as we now have a different (and perfect) one! Aside from doing such a great job, keeping us informed as the days went by and instructing us on how to best care for our new floor, Women in Construction did us a huge favor by allowing for the toilet and lavatory to be reinstalled after we had time to re-plaster and paint the walls, allowing that job to be much easier and to have infinitely better results.
Description of Work: Removal of existing tile and associated flooring layers down to sub-floor from bathroom floor, sub-floor needed extensive repair. Aside from the floor, the 13" tiled ledge at the back of the tub had to be removed and rebuilt. Then both floor and ledge were re-tiled. The contractors assisted in tile selection by giving homeowners information as to the most practical, appropriate types from which to choose before it was purchased. This was independent of their contract. However, through their suppliers, we were eligible for discounts given to the trade.

Great. They even spotted the corroded connectors in the bathrooms and identified the need for a sealant around the kitchen basin even though they were working on the floor tiling (I'm not sure that they even charged for this). They treated my home with the same care and consideration as their own. Well worth the dollars.
Description of Work: These two dynamic women did an incredible job retiling our kitchen and two bathrooms. They were meticulous with detail, checked in on a regular basis, and left a neat and tidy work site after completing the work.

I called Women in Construction on a Wednesday and on Saturday they were out giving me an estimate. Within the week, they started taking the existing bathroom down to the studs. By the end of the first week they started their work preparing the areas for the tiles in the shower area and the bathtub. Every aspect of their job worked like clock work. Their subcontractors showed up on the exact days that they planned for and they all did quality work. In every aspect of the job, Women in Construction paid incredible attention to every detail and delivered on a superior product.

I called on a Wednesday. That Saturday they came out and gave us a bid. The following Monday they began the job. For three plus weeks they were on the job at least six days a week, with every sub-contractor lined up without a hitch. (Plumber, Hot-mopper, electrician) They were very conscience of being clean and very respectful in the house. The end job was finished well ahead of there planned schedule with every detail of the job addressed.
Description of Work: Very large master bathroom was demolished and all new granite countertops on two sinks, tile in the shower, bathtub and floor were put in. New plumbing, new sinks, new hardware and a new toilet were installed.

Absolutely fantastic. Denise returned my call same day, came out for an estimate within a day or two, discussed project with me, set a date to do the work. Actually asked and came two days early to do the work even in the midst of the San Diego fires. Showed up early a.m. and on time, worked hard throughout, worked all day. Did an excellent job. Couldn't be happier with their professionalism and craftsmanship. Will hire them to do my bathrooms.
Description of Work: Denise and Molly tore up approximately 110 square feet of existing tile, laid backboard, laid new porcelain tile, sealed grout and also sealed grout in my 200 square foot kitchen. $2,000 for tile work, $300 for sealing, $75 sealing materials. Denise also ordered the tile for me so that I could get her 25% discount.

First things first: the now-installed tile looks beautiful---exactly like I wanted it to look! But back to my first call to Denise: she called me back the same day, but did so at the end of her work day so that she didn't interrupt her attention to the job she was on. To me that meant that she'd be giving her full attention to my job if I hired her---which is exactly how it was. She was professional, reliable and prompt in her follow through both prior to and during the project. Denise is a contractor who is on-site performing the work herself along with her capable assistant, Molly. Together they are meticulous in their attention to the details that result in a quality tile installation. I was very comfortable having them in my home, have nice attitudes, and were good to my dog & cat too! If I have further tiling projects in the future I will definitely contact Denise, and if I had to wait a bit to fit into her schedule of work orders I would consider it well worth waiting.
Description of Work: Denise installed ceramic/porcelain floor tiling in two long halls, one adjacent storage closet, and one very large adjacent pantry closet. The task was made more complex by the fact that the new hall tile meets 3 different types of pre-existing tile that the halls connect with (a family room at one end, an extended entryway at the other end, and a bathroom off the hall). The hall tiling also meets carpeting in 4 bedrooms along the halls.

PERFECT! Women in Construction are truly the best at what they do. Their professionalism, attention to detail and work ethic are first rate. Right from the start they took control covering carpets, keeping me advised on schedules as well as things I need to consider. I am a perfectionist myself and these two ladies were up to the standard and more. This is the kind of company you are looking to hire as a homeowner. The tile job is perfect; the layout, the alignment, the grouting, the attention to every detail. "Perfect" a word Denise takes special pride in. But what made this experience a real pleasure was the the ladies themselves. They enjoy their work and it shows. By the time they finished (ahead of schedule) I felt as if I had made two new friends. My only wish is that I wish I would have met them earlier. So I could have had them do my other projects.
Description of Work: Denise and Molly tiled the master bath area including the tub area, shower, and vanity (the bath was tiled in Travertine). There was a mixed pattern with straight tile on the bottom then a liner followed by tile laid at a diagonal. 6" and 4" tile were used with 2" in the shower bed. It was a complicated project in that their were 3 different walls, a window, and a step. This project was also complicated by the fact that they were finishing a project begun by another contractor. The previous contractor was let go and Denise and Molly came in and made right the mistakes made by the other contractor. They also worked with what the previous contractor left. So in that respect they did not start with a blank sheet. They had to adapt their techniques to what was left, a much more difficult task than just doing it their way.

Excellent. I had spoken to several tile contractors who subsequently didn't show up or weren't on time to do their estimates. Denise was a few minutes early for every interaction we had. She gave a detailed estimate and turned it around same day. I had a number of sample tiles and she worked with me to select the best one for my bathroom and gave me a number of sample ideas (she had photos of many different jobs she had done) to consider for design. The work was completed within the time frame and cost she estimated and looks amazing. She was also extremely conscious of my home (meaning cleaning up after their work and ensuring there was no damage). She also went above and beyond the call and fixed my tub faucet which was loose. She actually went to the hardware store and got the part on her own to fix it for me (no charge). She passes along her contractor discount on tile which saved me a bundle. I can't say enough good things about Women In Construction.
Description of Work: Re-tiled a portion of a bathroom (around tub). They removed the existing tile, prepped the walls, and laid new tile. They assisted me with picking the tile and selecting a design.
