They made all the floors match. They were pretty good. They pretty much kept the schedule. They were on schedule. They were neat. They did put the fixtures in the wrong place; but they redid it. I am a perfectionist. There is no one who would do everything correctly. I went on the internet to get all the insulation drawings for all my appliances because it was all built-in, and they have to put the outlets in the right spot. They were really fair. They were very clean. They do what they say there are going to do. They met all the deadlines really well. I will use them again, and I will recommend them. They were very reasonable.

Swartz Builders was the only one of five contractors bidding on my project willing to provide me with a written, detailed breakdown of costs. (Changes/updates during the project were also provided in a detailed, written format and there were no surprises - I pre-approved all changes.) Aaron's bid was mid-range and realistic. Sub-contractors' costs were based on their actual inspection of the job prior to bid and I was provided with their names and contact information. Aaron was willing to spend as much time as I needed reviewing the contract and details of the work to be done. Michael, who supervised my project, also met with us during the planning stage so he was familiar with the project and my expectations. Another reason I chose Aaron was the variety of choices for cabinet companies, plumbing fixtures, etc. This allowed me to personally meet with the suppliers, get questions answered directly, and compare cost and quality. Instead of providing me with a floorplan, Aaron recommended architects/designers/decorators whom provided those services. (I used one of his recommended decorators and was thrilled with her work as well.) Aaron did an excellent job of matching my personality to Michael's. As a result, what could have been a stressful 10 weeks of upheaval was a pleasant, professional environment where my comfort was always a priorty. Once work commenced, Michael was devoted to my project until it was completed. He did the majority of work himself and skillfully managed the details of the project. He and Aaron have been readily available to respond to questions/concerns since the project was completed. Everyone associated with Swartz (staff and sub-contractors) were professional, friendly, courteous, trustworthy, neat, and dependable. Michael' s work was superb, with attention to every detail. I knew that whatever challenge arose, he would have a solution. His suggestions (and those of everyone involved) improved the overall quality of the work while taking into consideration my budget. By my choice, we met every morning. He responded respectfully and immediately to all of my questions and concerns. Michael took on the full burden of managing the project. He supervised the sub-contractors, coordinated the inspections/delivery schedules/etc. and was always available by phone. On the days he didn't arrive before his start time, he called to advise me of why he would be late - usually something related to my project. I was very comfortable leaving my home open to Michael while I was at work. The worksite was clean and organized. Everyone was respectful of my neighbors, my property and my belongings. Due to his diligence, hard work, project management and problem-solving skills, the process ran smoothly without delays, and was completed in the promised time. The painting, done mostly by Luke, was of the same high quality I came to expect from Swartz Builders. The end results are fantastic. Michael, Aaron & Luke checked in frequently to make sure I was happy and always had my comfort as a priority. It was a pleasure working with all of the Swartz staff and sub-contractors and I couldn't be happier with the entire process - bid to finished product. The transformation of my home exceeds anything I could have hoped for. Even after a few months of completing the project, there is not a single decision I would change. My home is absolutely beautiful. I have already hired Swartz to do additional work and will continue to call them for any future projects.

The job was performed in an excellent manner! The payment schedule was extremely fair, the fairest of any contractor that I interviewed. The quality of the work was superb. The communication was excellent. The work site was kept clean and orderly. The work team was a group of true gentlemen, no swearing, no smoking and very, very customer focused! I tend to be a detailed person but the Swartz team out detailed me. If I had known about Swartz Builders before I would have done fewer DIY projects. I highly recommend Swartz.

It went very well. We hired Aaron and his team to come in and drywall, skimcoat, and prime some walls in our house that we recently moved out of and plan to list soon. We did the tearout and they basically put it back together for us. They actually did a couple of other jobs for us that we hadn't initially planned on because once we did the tearout it became apparent that a header beam leading to the front room had to be replaced as it hadn't been done correctly by one of the previous owners and also some framing work had to be fixed in the master bedroom due to previous water damage that had apparently happened before we bought the house. Aaron was always in contact with me(us) regarding what stage they were at in the process and they did a great job cleaing up. All and all it was a great experience. I would definitely contact Aaron if I needed anything additional done at either our former house or our new house.

From start to finish, dealing with Swartz builders was a first class experience. Kirk came out, identified the source of the issues, and devised a solution. Kirk also did the repairs, and was on time every day. He took time to do the job right, and clearly takes pride in his work (a rarity today). He was professional, careful, and left zero mess behind. I also had several interactions with the owner, Aaron, and he was excellent to work with as well. I will definitely use Swartz Builders again when the need arises.

Job well done! Initial day was to install carpentry, including new stairwell door, OSB flooring. Second day was used to relocate existing lamps to attic and install new lamps to garage ceiling. CKG 08/03/10

When Aaron entered our home on a December afternoon and removed his shoes at the door we immediately took notice. NO ONE DOES THAT! The estimate came in at the mid range of three. The presentation on paper was thorough. clear, and quite professionally presented. The company claims that "the difference is in the details" and they are 100% correct and stand by that motto. Everything from entering our home, to arrival times, departure times, clean up, screening the work area from the used living area, daily clean ups, placing a portable toilet outside for the crew, and daily communication was done with total regard for our needs and with total respect for our home. Because we were still living in the midst of the project they even went out of their way DAILY to help move furniture for our convenience. The crew dresses in company apparel, there are no boom boxes, smoking (indoors or out), or profanity. All were courteous and quite friendly. They seem to enjoy their work. The flooring was actually installed by a sub contracted crew who were new to Swartz (though they had worked with the company before). The installers did not keep to the same personal standards listed above, though the work was well done. A Swartz employee remained at the home to provide a much appreciated peace of mind for my wife who would have been there alone. The tile installer, also a subcontractor, was a regular with Swartz and seem to keep to the Swartz policy of decorum. As the job continued, workers were quick to offer opinions as to the best way to proceed with some of the tasks, and they were usually good ideas and improvements to the plan. The remodel should have been done a decade ago, but I could not bring myself endure the chaos of a home, especially a kitchen, being under construction while living in it. Swartz Builders may this experience as good as I can imagine it being.
