Manna Bros Home Improvement LLC

I selected Gray because he was very responsive, seemed genuinely interested getting my contract and was not aggressive. ?All his crew is excellent. ?The project was finished in time. ?So far I am happy with the outcome, the basement looks very nice. ?One reason for a satisfactory outcome is because I was very involved throughout the project. ?Gray was on site almost every day. ?Gray listened to the needs and concerns and tried to accommodate them. ?The final cost was over the original estimate and I wished Gray could have worked a bit more to solicit some of my key needs or could have been very specific about some of the items in his estimate - just as an e.g. number of recess lights included in the pricing, instead of including install recess lights throughout basement. ?But, on the other hand, I had also included some additional requirements. ?All in all, I am very satisfied with the Manna Bros. Gray certainly works hard to keep the customer happy. Quality of work is very good. ? I would certainly hire him again.

Gray managed to fit our job in around other larger projects he had going on.? He and Dan?arrived on?time.? They?worked quickly and efficiently, and?the kitchen?looked very nice when they were finished.? This contractor was a little more pricey than the one I used last year for other work; however, it was worth the cost for the prompt response/service and work quality.? Thanks

We had an emergency tile job needed because water was leaking. Gray fit us in promptly even though this was a relatively small job. Great communication and his employees are excellent and polite. After I finish this, I have to call him so he can do our master bath.

Honestly, I could not have asked for a better experience. When I bought my house a few years ago I had a terrible experience with another contractor. It was a nightmare. So when I went to hire someone to redo our kitchen I was VERY nervous. I found Gray (Manna Brothers) on Angie's list and had him come give me a quote last year. He came out exactly when he said he would and gave me a really good, honest picture of what I would need done. We couldn't afford to do the remodel right away, but when I called him this spring he made himself available to come out again and provide me with a detailed quote. He worked with me on everything I needed him to and I felt very confident in his abilities. When he started, he showed up exactly when he said he would and him and his crew came every day until the work was finished. There were some unexpected issues with the floor because i have a very old house, but him and his crew came up with ideas and made it work perfectly. He said it would take 2 and a half weeks and he was done with his portion in a week and a half. Then all we had to do was wait around for my granite company to come and install. As soon as it was installed he sent his plumber and electrician back over to finish what they needed to do and it was complete. Everyone I have told said they couldn't believe how fast they got everything done. The work is impeccable and the kitchen looks amazing. I'm so happy and I know I will be a long time customer of Gray's for everything I need done in the future!!! Thanks Gray...you have renewed my faith in contractors. :)

From the get-go Gray Manna was extremely honest and professional. It took us nearly a year before we finally got our act together (my husband and I) and gave him the go-ahead to get started. Once they began work they were fast and efficient without cutting any corners (project took just about 2 weeks). Gray was honest as to what products would be the best quality and most durable. His crew was wonderful too. Danny was here early every morning to get started and we felt very comfortable having them in our home. Although, I'm sure they were sick and tired of our dogs barking at they every time they came in and out of the house! Gray only works with the best guys in their field (lighting, painting, flooring, etc.) so we know we were getting the best work. The work is beautiful and we couldn't be happier. I recommend the Manna Bros. team 110%!

Owner was pleasant, but elusive. We were willing to meet whenever he could make an appointment - but he was never able to make the appointment. Indicated on more than one occasion he would call, but called hours later. Stated he was working on another job that was just too far away (even though we are in his stated area) so he couldn't be at our house when he said he would be....my husband just said "Well this doesn't look like it's going to happen"...end of story. Office staff very pleasant. Business must be terrific for him.

Gray and his crew were a pleasure to work with. Starting with the estimate, Gray came in person, and we told him what we wanted. He was very honest about what he thought could and could not be done. We had 3 other estimates. Gray was in the middle. He was also willing to work with us on a deck, which some of the other contractors did not want to do. We chose him because we felt he would do a quality job. We did ask him to obtain permits, which he did, and had inspectors come in a timely fashion. The total project took about 6 weeks - we had told him we wanted it done by the end of May, and he finished well ahead of time. Starting with the basement project which was a den added to a partially finished basement and also a custom finished bathroom. Gray's crew were very punctual - showing up sometimes before their 7:30-8am start time. He primarily has two other men who work with him. Brian who does tiling, and Danny who helps with the other stuff. They framed the area in a day or two. The bulkheads were done very well giving us as much ceiling space as possible. Gray was flexible with our bathroom layout, as initially we wanted the toilet next to the shower, but then decided to put it facing the shower. At first he told us it could not be done, but then after breaking the concrete to our rough in, he was able to make it happen. He had his electrician and plumber in as soon as the framing was inspected. They took about 2 days to finish. The tiling in the shower took about a week. Brian takes his time and is also a perfectionist. He does quality tiling work, and we were extremely pleased when he was finished. Gray subcontracted the drywalling and mudding and this team only took 3 days to finish. One word of advice - be sure you close your vents and cover everything you can with plastic - I did not do this, and spent a long time trying to dust off my furniture and storage items. Gray was very particular and wanted everything to be perfect, and he had the drywall team come back a couple of times to make sure the walls were perfect. He also subcontracted the painters who finished in a timely fashion. Gray recommended we buy our own carpet from Lowes and have it installed by Lowes - he was upfront that this would be cheaper than having him do it, which we were glad we did. Also, just to mention, the amount we paid did not include certain materials which we purchased and were told up front in the contract we were responsible for - this included tiles, vanity, bathroom accessories. The deck was then completed next. Gray built a freestanding deck which according to code was not necessary, but we feel a lot safer that he did. He used low maintenance decking from Trex. The project was completed in a week or so. He did work with us on the layout for us to maximize our deck space. We were very happy with the completed deck, and I now have a place to put my grill! Overall, Gray and his crew did an excellent job, and we would use him again or refer them to friends. He is an honest guy who we believe builds with safety and quality in mind. The team is very friendly, and we were able to trust them to work on our project during the day with no one home. These guys are hard workers. Well, I hope this review helps. I would have placed more detail, but just had a baby and am just finding some time to share our experience.

Manna Bros came to the property to provide an estimate for removing paneling, installing drywall, and painting a family room. They also provided an estimate for removing a tiled shower and installing a bath tub. Gray and his team were punctual, professional, had great attention to detail, and answered all questions thoroughly. We had to postpone our projects, but if we had proceeded we would have chosen Manna Bros as they inspired confidence, were thorough, and were able to answer our detailed questions.

We contacted Gray based on his Angie's List reviews. We were impressed with his estimate and his insistence on quality from his subcontractors. We had to postpone the project due to financial issues, but when we recontacted Gray, he was more than willing to revisit and give us an updated estimate. He supervised the installation of the drywall and painting project. It only took 1 day, and two half days to complete. So in three days time, we had a newly finished living room. The whole experience was great! We will contact Gray for any of our future projects, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great contractor for their home improvement.

We had several contractors bid on our job, but being the anal guy that I am, I knew Gray was the contractor for me. Plus, his price was very competitive. At first, he said he was backed up for at least two months, which is a good sign of a contractor, but then he told me he could fit me in between jobs. Gray?s attention to detail is second to none. I have to say that I?m a hard guy to satisfy because I'm so anal and I?m very particular on how I want things done. Gray is the same way, so I knew from the get-go the job would get done right. One of my main objectives was putting in a new cut-out window in our dining room because there wasn?t enough natural light coming into the room. Several contractors said they wouldn?t touch it because I have aluminum siding and apparently, it?s a very unforgiving material to work with. Other contractors didn?t say anything about the aluminum siding, which led me to believe they didn?t know what they were doing. Gray on the other, had said he was hesitate to do it just because if he messed something up with the siding, he would be replacing all of my siding on the side of the house to make sure it all matched. He said he was 85% confident he could do it, but he didn?t want to take the 15% chance of replacing the siding at his cost. Just with speaking with him about the process, telling me what needed to be done and that he would go beyond what was required by code, summed it up for me. I knew he was the guy I needed to hire. I had to twist his arm a little bit because of the siding issue, but he agreed to do it. The window turned out perfectly! From the outside, the window looks like it was meant to be there. From the inside, it looks very cohesive with all the other windows. Gray?s Electrician, Nate and his team, worked very diligently to get the job done on time, even with my extra add-on requests. The work they did looks very well done and they cleaned up very nicely. Gray and his team, Danny and Brian, were a pleasure to work with. Gray always spent time on the phone with me whenever I had a concern and he was very responsive throughout day whenever I texted him a question. And he still is even after the job is done. Like I said, I consider myself a very high maintenance client as I had several new requests each new day of the job. Gray didn?t even bat an eye to accommodate me. Gray and his team is the only contractor outfit I want working on my house from now on because I know it will get done right the first time. I just hope I can get him again because he's so busy.

My experience with Manna Bros. from start to finish was professional and enjoyable. I contaced Grey for an estimate based on his reviews on Angie's list, as well as 2 other contractors. Grey's estimated was very competitive and I felt most comfortable using him based on our conversations regarding the basement space and his proposed schedule. He was able to start right when we wanted him to and he finished right on time as well. The workers were always professional. The communication was great too. ALways letting us know what was happening in the next couple of days, who would be there and at what time, etc. The quality of work is excellent. We are very happy with the finished product. We have some more home improvement projects planned in the next few years and I will definitely be contacting Grey for those as well.

We had previously used Manna Bros. and were very happy with the quality of their work and their professionalism. So, when it came time to add some storage space to our bedroom, we knew who to call. The response to our initial call was prompt and we were able to arrange for Gray Manna to come out the following week to discuss our plans. Like many older homes, closet space is limited. Gray offered some great suggestions to maximize the storage space in our bedroom without sacrificing a great deal of livable space. He suggested creating recessed and enclosed cubicles that would use the unused crawl space behind our far wall. We felt the price quoted was reasonable and scheduled the work. As before, Gray and his crew were very professional and polite. The project started as scheduled and was completed within one week. Danny and Brian arrived on time, worked consistently and cleaned up at the end of each day. Nick did a fantastic job painting and was meticulous in spackling our old plaster walls to give an even finish. The communication with Gray was fantastic. He contacted us throughout the project to let us know what step would be next and to ask if we had any concerns. We absolutely love our new closet and the additional storage space provided by the recessed cubbies. Manna Bros. did a phenomenal job once again and we would surely use them in the future.

previously, I had an issue (I thought)?with an estimate that was to be given after a house call. Gray and I spoke today, and he explained the issues and we found I was mistaken. I agree with Gray and will humbly submit an?apology??to? Manna Bros. Gray? was hurt by the rating and strives to perfection in all his work projects.?? Our work could not be started until July, so I will have to look elsewhere.? Sad, because I wanted Manna bros to do the work. Hard to find a better equipped outfit.?? If you have them pending work, hold on to them, they will do it well!

almost immediately. We are very pleased with our beautiful family room, thanks to Gray Manna and his team.

Found Manna Bros through our Angie's List search. They have the best ratings, by far, of any home improvement provider that I could find. Gray Manna got back to us very quickly after our email request and we soon talked on the phone about our projects. We initially were going to have work done on our master bathroom and bedroom as well as our outdoor porch/gazebo and one of our guest bedrooms. Gray set up a date soon after our conversation to do an estimate on the projects. When he came to our house we went over the master bathroom and bedroom first and he was very helpful with giving ideas on what we could do and where we could get other design ideas for the bathroom especially. We're pretty clueless with design but between ideas Gray had and the resources he gave us we came up with something that we're very happy with. When Gray looked at our upstairs guest bedroom project he recommended we hold on doing any painting at that time due to some water damage in the ceiling. At his recommendation we had a roofer inspect the roof and it turned out we had 3 out of 4 roof ventilation pipes with large holes around them, presumably letting water into our attic every time it rained. The roofer was amazed it hadn't caused more damage than in just the single upstairs guest bedroom and the roofer was able to do those repairs quickly and cheaply. Basically Gray saved us from having more serious water damage! Similarly, when he looked at our deck and gazebo, which had been installed by the prior owner, he found some structural issues and said he'd be happy to do the minor repairs we were looking to have done but that we'd probably be having him come back multiple times in future years for continued maintenance issues. So we actually decided to completely remove the porch/gazebo and go with a hardscape/patio design. I bring up these 2 topics because these were recommendations for projects on which Manna Bros could have made money but for which Gray instead gave us his honest opinions and in the end we made better decisions thanks to those recommendations. I think this approach summarizes the rest of our great experience with Manna Bros. They won't do something that they wouldn't recommend for their own homes. They prefer to do it right and sleep better for it. For our master bathroom remodel they removed a tub with a large tile tub deck, removed the fiberglass shower stall, removed old tile flooring, removed old vanity/mirror/medicine cabinets, and removed the toilet. They replaced with a custom tile shower, bathroom floor tiling, installed new vanity/mirror/medicine cabinets, painted, installed bathroom fixtures, had a plumber install the toilet and do the shower/vanity plumbing work, and had an electrician do some rewiring and installation of lights/fans including changing some switch options inside and just outside of the bathroom. In the master bedroom they removed wallpapering and painted. They did most of the work when none of us were at home so I don't know the full breakdown of who did what but Brian did the custom shower tiling and floor tiling and a lot of the other work in the bathroom along with Danny. Brian seems to be meticulous with the tiling and it really looks fantastic. We communicated mostly with Brian and Gray and they were both excellent in responding to calls and texts and very helpful and understanding throughout the project. Our bathroom looks great, we really couldn't be any happier with it. They don't do shower door installations as they haven't found any reliable off-the-shelf or big-box options but did give us a referral for someone they think does a great professional job so we plan to contact them for an estimate. Again, I think the best thing I can say is they will do the work as if it was their home and they won't do something they think is incorrect or that they're not comfortable doing.

We chose Manna Bros. over another company because of their pricing, ideas and professionalism. The basement was where we had the most work done. We needed to create a storage area so walls were removed and other walls were constructed and an access door was installed. A bathroom door was added for more direct access to the bedroom. Pergo flooring was laid in the newly created storage area. A closet was built to make access to the electrical box and plumbing easier. The garage had not been finished properly when the home was built so we had it re-taped and blocked giving it a much smoother, cleaner look. A new 60" vanity was installed in the master bath from a company that Grey Manna recommended for their quality and quick turn-around time. A utility tub with cabinet was installed in the laundry room. Four custom doors were made for a bookcase to replace ill-fitting doors. All the work was performed in the time frame of about 10 days. They were courteous and all the work was finished as promised to the specifications we requested. They came back and finished a couple of things such as realigning one of the doors they had installed, adding a threshold at another door and caulking the vanity with no additional charges and it was all done in one visit. I would recommend this company and if we ever need more work done they would be my first call.

We couldn't be happier with the craftsmanship and the service provided! Gray really listened to the changes that we wanted to make to our existing built in corner entertainment center/ mantel and provided us with excellent cost effective options. We were also very impressed with his responsiveness. Gray returned my call within a couple of hours and stopped by to see the project the same day. He also provided us with a quote within 2 days and completed the project on time. From my initial conversation with Gray, to the date when the cabinet doors were installed, Gray kept us well informed on his progress with our project and worked diligently to complete it before the holidays so that we could enjoy our new flat screen TV on the mantel! Could not ask for better craftsmanship! Gray also worked diligently to match the stain on the new doors/mantel with the stain on the existing cabinets and achieved a perfect match. As I'm sure you can tell, we were very pleased with the professional service as well as the quality of the work provided by Gray and his staff. We will definitely use him for future projects!

My newly finished basement flooded due to a sump pump failure. Gray responded immediately to my phone call and arranged for an estimate without delay. His estimate was actually exactly what the insurance company appraised the damage to be. He began work promptly and got my basement back to better than it was before the storm in less than two weeks. His team was prompt, courteous and paid very close attention to detail. Gray is exceptionally knowledgeable, ALWAYS returns calls and is very patient as changes/requests come up. I am set to use him for another project and will never use another contractor again. If I could give him an A+ I would. I wish I used him to finish the basement in the first place...live and learn.

There had been a leak under the tub for many years before we purchased the house. The repair needs were so extensive, we decided to have them gut the whole bathroom and start over. Gray called me back the same day that I first contacted him for an estimate, and was able to come out to assess the project quickly. He got the estimate to us exactly when he said he would, but was patient with us needing a little time to make the decision. The crew started when they said they would and worked every day through the duration of the project. It did take longer than estimated, but that was because they ended up needing to do more work than was originally expected - the ceiling below the leak was significantly more damaged than had been apparent. Rather than just patching it as planned, Gray and his guys dropped the entire (mold filled) thing and replaced it. Also, because our bathroom is small and has an awkwardly oversized window, fitting in the shower stall took extra work and creativity. In the end, we are completely happy with Manna Bros. Throughout the project, Gray's attention to our concerns and questions was outstanding. He always either answered our call or called back very quickly. His crew were all nice guys who did great work. (In particular, Brian's work with the tile is precise and beautiful.) They left things neat at the end of the day. They were responsive to our needs in actually living in the house during the work. They did what they said they would, when they said they would do it, and went beyond what was expected. They paid attention to the details and their work is solid and beautiful.

We contacted Manna Brothers and were able to do a walk through of the basement with Gray Manna in less than 24 hours. Within a week, Gray sent us the estimate to complete our unfinished basement. The quote was quite reasonable and came in lower than the other contractors we had met. Gray was always available to answer questions, both before and throughout construction. He and his crew began work in the basement in early September and it was framed within a week. Due to a family emergency, we had to ask Gray to suspend construction. He was extremely understanding and flexible. We were able to resume work a few weeks later and Gray fit us into his schedule as best as he could to complete the work in a timely manner. We are thoroughly pleased with Manna Brothers and the quality of their work. The craftsmanship throughout the basement is outstanding. Gray and his crew are detail oriented and hold themselves to a very high standard. We will contact them for future work and highly recommend them to everybody!

This was an excellent experience. Gray was always available to answer questions that arose during the construction. The quality of the work is wonderful. Everything was completed in about two weeks time which was amazing considering they demolished the existing kitchen and installed new everything. The workmen were of the highest professional quality ,polite and highly skilled in what they did. I am so pleased with the new ktchen and will definitely call Manna Brothers for my next job!

The complete story is stated above.

Gray's responsiveness and professionalism are absolutely impeccable. He responded to us same-day to make an appointment for an estimate. He arrived promptly to give the estimate, inspected the area thoroughly, and carefully explained what would need to be done. He always responds promptly and courteously to emails and phone calls. The members of Gray's team who came to do the actual repairs to the drywall did a fantastic job. Gray followed-up with us afterward to be sure everything was perfect.

We loved these guys. We needed help fast when an upstairs ceiling bizarrely collapsed, and had no idea whom to call. Found their information on Angie's List and Gray responded quickly and with a very reasonable estimate. Everyone was punctual, professional, and friendly. We felt comfortable having them in the house and they were meticulous about cleaning up. The work was awesome--what they replaced looked far better than the original. We were of course concerned about ceilings falling in other rooms and they took the extra time to check and secure all the upstairs ceiling panels for us. Gray was often here just checking in. Although this was something of an emergency job, now that we've met these folks we are looking forward to having them do some bigger remodelling projects in the future.

It went excellent. You can tell that Manna Brothers takes pride in their work and it shows in their professionalism and work. We are extremely happy with our experience and will definitely use them in the future,
