About us
Along with the Monk's Kitchen & Bath Design Studio, we are a full-service home improvement provider. Monk's will help you plan, design, and purchase everything you need for a remodel. Then our expert craftsmen will install everything and our painters will come and complete the job.
I am so pleased with the work that Hayron and his assistants did here at my house. The craftsmanship is so beautiful! The men were clean, polite and a pleasure to work with. Maria was so helpful in planning the project and she was responsive to questions and patient with me throughout the process. I look forward to working with Monks again to complete my other projects.

It started out as a bathroom update to repair the floor tile and I ended up adding on several other items. Monks did a good job and were professional. There were a few surprises between what I had discussed with the designer and what was done with the tub. But with any remodel, there are always a few issues. Monks quickly fixed everything once the issues were pointed out and they got the job done on time.
Description of Work: Needed to replace bathroom floor. Removed tile and retiled entire bathroom, including tub area and put in new fixtures, toilet, painted; replaced 5 doors (indoor)

Workers were professional...all subcontractors overseen by a Monk's employee (George Day). Two different projects, two different job foremen, both competent and responsive. Not the cheapest game in town, though.

Wanting to make sure we did our research, we received quotes from five different companies. Jon Clausson from Monk's stood out from the initial estimate meeting and we ultimately decided to go with Monk's. We knew the final product would be great with any of the companies we received quotes for, but where Monk's stood out was their responsiveness, how easy it was to work with them, and their clear communication. Our decision to go with Monk's ended up being a great one, as everything turned out absolutely beautiful and there were no surprises with the final bill. We look forward to working with Monk's again!

Relatively good. However, they failed to paint the interior side of two doors to which they previously agreed and there was lint distributed in the paint in areas around a couple of door casements. They offered to come back and remedy the issues, but since I am experienced with painting, I made the corrections myself

While the work was great, the real reason we're giving Monk's an "A" review is the professional and courteous manner in which they handled a problem that occurred during the course of the job. We hired Monk's to install pre-finished hardwood flooring. On the day of the install, we looked at the initial 2 rows that had been installed, and we were unhappy with the look. This wasn't Monk's fault - it is simply the nature of pre-finished flooring which wasn't noticeable on the flooring samples we reviewed. When we expressed our concern to the installer, he was very understanding, and he offered to stop (no pressure to move forward with something we didn't like). As you can imagine, my wife and I were very upset with the situation. We had over 40 boxes of material that we didn't want, we had a full crew that had prepped the rooms and were in process of installing, and we had alot of money invested in both. I called our contact (Ryan) who was instantly accessible (no hiding behind voicemail). He told me he would address the problem. Within an hour, I received a call from one of the owners - Ty Monk. I explained what happened, and the first thing he said to me was "I need to put together some options, but I want you to know that we're committed to getting this job done to your satisfaction". WOW! It really put my mind at ease to know I was working with someone with that attitude towards customer satisfaction. Even more impressive is what happened next. By the end of the day, Ty got back to me with a plan of action. Over the following days, he personally worked with us to select replacement material and finish stain to ensure that we'd be happy with the final product. Once we had agreed on this, we were quickly put back on schedule and within budget. The floors are now installed and finished, and we're very happy with the results. They also painted several rooms in our house, and the quality and attention to detail was amazing. Anyone can be professional and cooperative when things are going well, but the true test is how people react when things go wrong. While this was a bad situation for my wife and me, I also recognize that it wasn't a great situation for Monk's. Ty Monk is a true gentleman and a good person to work with. I would recommend Monk's to my friends, and I would do business with them again. From start to finish, everyone we dealt with at Monk's was courteous and professional.

Took too long, more than a month. Initial measurements were incorrect even though Monks performed the measurements. The experience was a comedy of errors- they couldn't even order the correct doorknob. The staff lacks communication skills. Had to call / email them several times before getting a response. Overall nice showroom, poor workmanship.

Dear Mr. [Member Name Removed], We apologize for the incorrect measurements. However, we were at your home immediately to remeasure. The closet was installed as soon as we were able to gain access to your home, once you returned from vacation. We also provided you with a discount, which we understand doesn't resolve the problem, but as a gesture of good faith. Again, our sincere apologies for our initial mistake. We do hope you've been enjoying your closet. Trevor Monk

George called later and we scheduled the repair for Friday of the following week. He let me know that Ziggy would call to agree on a time, the day before. Ziggy called on Thursday, we scheduled the appointment, and on Friday he arrived and completed the repair. The work was done quickly, professionally, and included a thorough clean-up of the site when he finished. We have had several major projects completed by Monk's, both last year and three years ago, and we have become repeat customers, which I think speaks for itself.
Description of Work: Requested a quote for some bathroom work, which we eventually decided not to go forward with. During the course of the on-site review for the quote, we pointed out to Monk's project manager, George, a problem that had developed with some work that they had done for us last year. George said that he would have it taken care of as quickly as possible.

We've used them many times. To be honest, I work with the same guy every time. He is very conscientious, and he's responsive. He also realizes that there are certain jobs that can get done pretty quickly. Like for example this last job, I actually sent him a text, and said hey can you come out? He came out the next day, and had the actual project manager come out and look at it, and did the job that day. So to me, that was great!

Monk's is professional, friendly and punctual organization. Monk's exterior painting of the house including the deck and the removal of old storm windows/door and the installation of ones purchased from them was first rate. When we had concerns they were addressed in a timely and courteous fashion. We plan to use them again.

Excellent. Working with Monk's is not like hiring a contractor to do a specific job, it's contracting with a full service company. You may not require all of the expertise or services they have at their disposal but it's nice to know they're available if needed. It also comes out in the quality of their work and their attention to detail.

Everything that is finished by Monk's has turned out beautifully. Last year Travis Marion also supervised renovation of my father's house for resale. Monk's painted interior and exterior, updated the bathrooms, sanded and re-stained all the hardwood floors, painted the kitchen cabinets, put in a new backsplash. light fixtures, etc. The house sold in four days.
Description of Work: Travis Marion personally managed a comprehensive renovation of kitchen, raising the ceilings with skylights, bathrooms, etc. He has set up a schedule for the renovations, organized the buying of materials needed, and is in constant contact with us to finish the renovations in a timely matter. He is terrific, we have previously hired Monk's to paint our house, put in new doors, etc. .
