I will give one caution. Please make sure that you tell the men to make sure they put the furniture in a place where you can still access important things and that they will return and replace the furniture. The men put all the furniture into a bedroom leaving the occupant no way to get to the bathroom, closet or bed and seemingly no plan to move it back the next day after the floors were dry. The owner was called and he himself came and moved it back himself so it worked out.
Description of Work: Refinished a bedroom hardwood floor. Sand, 2 coats of sealant and 2 coats poly (under request). Installed quarter molding on the sides.

They did a fantastic job! Price was exactly what we were thinking it should be in our heads. They were on time, finished when they said they would, did great work with no "surprises", PLUS, Marc called the day after finishing to make sure everything was okay or if they needed to come back to adjust anything. Not only was Marc genuine and responsive, he gave us lots of helpful construction tips since we were finishing the remodeling on our own to save money, like things to keep in mind when laying hard wood. It's such a relief to have found a reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced contractor. We are definitely using Marc again.
Description of Work: Sheetrocked and taped/bedded a kitchen, closet and powder room, all walls and ceilings, including an awkward structural ceiling beam. Lots of corners and nothing was square in the old house.

This was a very impressive company. They do great work. They are real meticulous. The man takes his time and works really well. Mark is his name. I gave him a key to my house and everything. He is very courteous and very quiet. I did not even know he was here half the time. Another thing, I did not realize how nice the resets lights looked so I wanted them in the bathroom all throughout. Doing that kind of extended my estimated date of completion. They give you a contract with everything on it. He had realized that he should have charged me more, but, he stayed to his price. He will do all the work if you get the equipment or you could by the equipment from him. He brought in all the good quality supplies to show.
Description of Work: Turtle did a lot of work for me in my 2,000 square foot home. They laid down hardwood floor, installed about 13 resets lights in the living room and bathroom, they painted the entire house inside, did plumbing, installed a really nice sink, microwave, they did a lot of electrical work including outlets, switches and lights. They did a lot of decorative work like mirrors and they created and entire French Marble bathroom vanity.

He did excellent work. He told me his main concern was that my happiness. He miscalculated a roll of wallpaper, and offered to pay for it himself, even though we ended up splitting the cost. I would not use anyone else.
Description of Work: He wallpapered my bathroom.
