About us

My goal is to provide specialized service on a one on one basis. I pride myself on being detail oriented focusing my attention on one customer at at time. It is customary for me to meet with customer, create an estimate and require a deposit upon contract signing. Upon completion the remaining balance is required in full.

I had been planning to do this remodel for quite some time and having difficulty finding someone that did great work at a fair price. Then, a coworker (who had just used Ellen for a bathroom remodel) recommended I contact her. Her quote was fair. I was VERY impressed that she didn't just provide a general quote; but, provided a detailed itemized quote that showed me what work would be done and line item cost. This confirmed that I had found someone who KNEW what she was doing. I provided the tile, vanity/sink, faucet, fixtures. Ellen was prompt throughout the job, always professional, and very detailed and thorough. She has integrity and takes pride in her work. She communicated the timeline, let me know when I needed to make decisions, confirmed design. I felt perfectly comfortable and safe going to work and leaving Ellen working in my home. We had initially planned to install normal 3/8" drywall and when Ellen was finishing the demo, she discovered the 5/8" fire protection drywall; she brought me in to see it and discuss to ensure I understood that 5/8" was in place and why it was used. So, we then could make the decision to use 5/8" to maintain fire protection for my unit and the complex. We uncovered a couple of additional surprises (a cut support beam, extremely unlevel floors) from the original builder back in the mid-80's; and were able to make my bathroom structurally stronger/safer than when she began work. The result: I now have a GORGEOUS bathroom that I know is not only beautiful but safe too!!! Thanks, Ellen, for a GREAT job!!! I will certainly hire you again; and, would definitely refer your services to others.
Description of Work: Ellen did a complete gut (except for the tub) of my 2nd bathroom in a condo, which included demo, removing a soffit, scraping popcorn ceiling, replacing drywall, removed 2nd doorway to bathroom. She patched the ceiling where the soffit was removed, installed 5/8" drywall (fire protection grade since it's a condo), framed in and closed off 2nd doorway, installed 6x6 travertine floor, installed 12x12 Italian marble tub surround including a 12" mosaic at eye level, installed new light fixture, installed new vanity/sink combo, installed faucet.

Ellen started on the bookshelf on Saturday morning and stayed until dark building and installing it. She came back and did trim the next day. I paid a %deposit up front and made the final payment when she was done. I am pleased and will use her services and skill again!
Description of Work: Ellen built in a bookshelf and two storage boxes in two nooks adjacent to my center-front fireplace. She was courteous to my needs and always arrived on-time. Her work was excellent and far exceeded my expectations. Her anntention to.detail surpassed any other providers I have ever used.
