Everything about our interaction was above and beyond. Their initial quote was so good I was a little weary, but I decided to hire them. I asked for a certificate of insurance which I received. A few things came up during the renovation which I expected. But they were honest, communicative, and all of the changes were within reason. Nothing happened without my approval and they never pressured me. I will absolutely hire The Golden Standard again when I need renovations. A+++
