Description of Work: Brian Kurz was helping with the remodel of my house, by removing my kitchen cabinets and appliances and a half wall so another contractor could remove the floor of the whole back of the house and add hardwood flooring. Of course we had Hurricane Sandy in the middle of the project. Once the floors were done, Brian came back and reinstalled the kitchen cabinets and appliances, and did some other carpentry work. It was one of those projects that had him coming and going, rather than being a straight week of work, but he was easy going and very happy to help with any difficulty that came up, even if it wasn't strictly carpentry. I would recommend him to my friends.

Brian came to our house in early May and said he would give us an estimate for our bathroom remodeling within a week. I followed up after two weeks but never got a call back. It is now September 15th and I never heard back! Needless too say, we went with someone else....
Description of Work: Came to give an estimate for a bathroom remodeling
My experience as a first time remodeling on my own turned out great with the help of Brian. He understood my needs, was professional, courteous, extremely knowledgeable, timely and a real problem solver. The project encountered a problem the very first day and I remained very calm because I knew I was in very competent hands. In the middle of the project I was having a problem with the countertop as it was twice delivered cracked. On the third try I ordered a countertop and took the measurements based on the old vanity, not the new vanity. The new countertop arrived and it did not fit! Brian helped with ideas and ultimately within a week I had a countertop measured and input. Another real challenge was the paint color. I was confident about picking a cream color to compliment and Brian challenged me to pick a bolder color. I am so happy with the color we both decided on. Overall, I am so pleased about the work performed that my next project which is remodeling my own bathroom will only be given to Kurz Renovation. I would recommend him to anyone for any type of remodeling. Great experience!
Description of Work: Bathroom remodeled. Floor tiles and shower/wall tiles replaced, new vanity, new countertop, new lighting, new shower/tub fixtures, new shelves in closet, wall paper removed and walls painted. Color of the paint was quite a debate and Brian helped out tremendously on the final choice, which was a color I would not have at first picked but am quite happy with.

Bathroom looks great!
Description of Work: Bathroom update - fixed the cracked grout on the floor, wall and around the window. The bathroom was painted, holes in the wall were fixed, sink & bath hardware were replaced and mirror was fixed.
About a year ago, we had decided to begin an extensive remodel of our townhouse. We didn't really know of any contractors to call in our area, so we did a Google search and found Kurz Renovations. We set a date to have Brian come over and have a look at our projects. We discussed having him renovate our first floor half bathroom first, and if all went well, we said we would have him redo our master bath and upstairs hall bathroom. We purchased all of the material, with the exception of the rough material (which he included). Brian did a beautiful job on the first bathroom - completing the work quickly and cleanly. He had some great ideas which he shared with us, as far as wall color and trim work. He was very respectful of our home and tried to keep the construction mess to a minimum. The end result was that we were so pleased with his work that we immediately asked him to quote us on doing the other two bathrooms. Brian fit us into his schedule and began the work on the two upstairs bathrooms simultaneously. These bathrooms proved to be a bit more of a challenge, as we had some pieces - including the master bathroom vanity on back order. Brian did as much as he possibly could to keep things moving for us while we waited for the missing pieces to arrive. In our master bathroom, we had Brian do very elaborate Italian tile work, including creating a free-form custom shower pan, which meant moving the drain. He worked with a reliable plumber to do this part and made great suggestions which saved us money and the end result was amazing. Once all of the pieces arrived, Brian made sure they were installed quickly. After installing the special jetted shower unit we purchased, it was discovered that the manufacturer had sent the wrong part. Brian took care of the problem and made sure that the unit was functioning properly. Once these bathrooms were finished, we had decided to try doing the last bathroom in our basement ourselves, but after doing the demolition, we again decided to call on Brian to complete this last bathroom. Again, he did a great job and finished it quickly. When the work was finished, we discovered that there was a little leak from behind the shower head. Brian came back right away and resolved the problem. Now that the bathrooms were done, we began to paint and remodel our basement. While we did a fair bit of the work ourselves, we decided again to hire Brian to get the job done for us. He ended up doing an extensive remodel of the back room in our basement, including building new closets, installing, patching and finishing the drywall, painting the areas we had not painted and doing all of the trim work to accent our new flooring. During the process, it was necessary to repair some areas of the sheetrock that we had to open to run some new wires. Brian did a beautiful job with this patchwork, and you cannot tell where the repairs were made. During all of the work Brian did in our home, he was extremely professional and respectful. Although he had a key to our home, he never just walked in if he knew I was home and always called or texted to let me know he was here. He was not afraid to give us his opinion if he thought of a better way or design for a project. Brain is always very responsive to our requests and if something needs to be adjusted, he will always make the time to swing by and take care of the problem. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Kurz Renovations if you are considering any kind of remodel in your home. Brian is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced and a really nice guy to work with. We are definitely going to have him do any future remodeling we decide to do in our home.
Description of Work: To date Brian Kurz remodeled all four of our bathrooms, including all tile work, replacement of cabinets, toilets, plumbing, light fixtures, painting, trim and finishing. He did it all from start to finish and brought in subcontractors when needed. He also helped us remodel our basement, including framing new closet walls, hanging and finishing off the drywall, ceilings, painting, door hanging, baseboard trim and lighting.

I had used Angie's List for other work in my home, most recently to install ceiling lights in my kitchen. An add popped up for simple bathroom renovation and sprucing up. The add required a prepayment for the work, and although I had some trepidation, I paid for the work because of my positive experience. Brian contacted me very shortly thereafter and we arranged a date for the work. He arrived 2 days later and worked through the entire day to bring my bathroom up to date. He and his partner were diligent, detailed, and meticulous. I asked them to install a new vanity and sink that I purchased as well as a new tub faucet. When it was discovered that I purchased the wrong type of faucet Brian returned the next day to install the correct model. I got the sense that Brian was proud his his work and would not walk away before I was satisfied. I am extremely pleased with the work and the professionalism of Kurz Renovation.
Description of Work: Brian painted, re-caulked, replaced fixtures and vanity in my small bathroom.

I had two wood spindles that ran from cabinets to countertop holding up a section of cabinets. Kurz was able to come up with a way of removing the spindles without taking out the cabinets and then to replace them after the new countertop was removed.
Description of Work: Performed a specialized job to prepare for a counter installation. Came up with a creative solution to keep cabinets in place while installing countertop. Very professional, punctual and helpful. I would definitely use him in the future for larger jobs.

Overall, I recommend Kurz Renovations for anything you need done in your home. Especially your Kitchen or Bathroom renovations! Neat, prompt, reliable and being trustworthy are hard to find, and Kurz renovations possess all of those traits. We will continue to use them for all our future projects!!!
Description of Work: My wife and I have been using Kurz Renovations for years now. When we were getting ready to sell our first home 7 years ago, we hired Kurz renovations to help remodel our kitchen before placing it on the market. The kitchen came out so amazing, we almost didn't want to move! After enjoying our new kitchen for a few weeks we finally put our home on the market. Everyone who walk ed through our home complimented us on the kitchen, and in the end it was what won over the young couple who bought our home. Thanks to Kurz Renovation, we sold our home and made another $11,000 because of the kitchen renovation. Since that time we have used Kurz Renovations for 4 more jobs on our new home and have never been disappointed! Kitchens, Bathrooms and tile work are their specialties, however we have used them for sheetrock, painting, molding. Amazing job on everything, and their prices are very reasonable. Brian from Kurz renovation just completed an tile backsplash in our current home and we get so many compliments as well as some referrals for them.
He's very pleasant worker and has done a nice job thus far. He is very neat and clean in the way he works. He is still working on the project in our kitchen, but we would definitely recommend him.
Description of Work: He's replaced the tile floors in all our bathrooms. He is now working on our kitchen: ripped out the old cabinets and installed new ones. He is also doing the crown molding in the kitchen. He's also done some painting. Going forward, he will be doing the backsplash in our kitchen and will be completed in the next week or so.
Therefore, I enthusiastically recommend Kurz Renovations, LLC for any home improvement project where patience, dedication and communication skills with customers are important. I would be honored to endorse with confidence, Brian and his crew as team-players. His company would make a great asset to any home improvement project they set out to do. He is dedicated, detail-oriented, creative, patient and organized. Much thought goes into his work. He has an unusual ability to notice what others may overlook and takes pride in getting the job done right.
Description of Work: We have used Kurz Renovations, LLC for many projects over the years. These included: Kitchen remodeling/renovations/entire painting of kitchen, designed/built/installed kitchen island. Installed new wood floors, created/designed walk-in bedroom closet with shelving. They were able to paint our entire first floor (including window trim w/shutters, baseboards, repaired badly damaged walls) while accomplishing this all in record time (with our very limited time schedule) resulting in a wonderful job with many compliments/inquiries.
