Colorful Beginnings has out seeded my expectations. The project was completed on time and within budget.
Description of Work: All of the walls in my house to include the bathrooms that required special care to ensure no mold will be generated due to a damp environment. This was in addition to building the house around the walls, which is why the project cost includes more than the painting.

Stephen and Liz are great to work with. They recently remodeled our kitchen, living room and bathroom. They also replaced all the windows in our home. From start to finish the communication, design help and workmanship was amazing. They have a wonderful crew that is very kind and treats your home like it’s their own. I will continue to use them for all our home projects in the future and highly recommend them.

Colorful Beginnings was the first contractor we met with that actually listened to our ideas on what we envisioned for our space. Their attention to detail gave us a high quality outcome while their creative use of our space saved us thousands. The entire team was pleasant to work with and made our remodel a great experience.
