+ 0 moreI have relied on Northtowns Remodeling for my last several home repairs and improvement projects. Brian and his crew are honest, dependable people who do top quality work. For each project we've done, Brian responded immediately and had a quote ready quickly. This company does not try to sell you things you don't need, which is extremely refreshing. Brian will lay out all of your options for you, and help you find the best balance of cost vs. necessity. In fact, the quotes Brian gave me for each of these projects were all at least a little lower than other companies I called. Additionally, Brian kept in contact with me before, during and after the jobs were complete just to be sure I fully understood the process, and that I was happy with the results. This is practically unheard of these days! All of the repairs they made are beautiful looking, very solidly installed with high quality materials, and were done quickly. We couldn't be happier with the entire process. We will definitely be using Northtowns Remodeling for all of our future projects.
Description of Work: We had a garage exterior entry door/frame replaced and also needed repairs on our front porch portico that had a roof leak and some wood rot. Last year, we also used Northtowns Remodeling to replace the front porch columns.

We took 2 days to make decision-owner came back...reviewed plans -and set up work within the next couple days! Job was completed within 1 week of my first contact with this company. Workers were very pleasant- hard working. The finished project is beautiful-- my parents extremely pleased . I would highly recommend and fully intend to use them again.
Description of Work: Replaced bathtub with walk in shower and installed heavy duty railings in hallway.

Description of Work: We had the worst luck with another contractor and bathtub product - the tub basically cracked after only a few months. The contractor did not stand behind his work and the tub manufacturer was not helpful either. After meeting with a handful of contractors, Northtowns Remodeling did exactly what we needed. They work quick, efficient, and the new tub is a great product. We will defninitely call them for our next project.

+ -1 moreDuring my initial call to Northtowns Remodeling I told them what services were needed and that I hoped that the job could be done as soon as possible because I was expecting guests in the coming two weeks. They were very helpful and completed the job ahead of my deadline. The sales rep was on time for the appointment and was very clear about the price and took many pictures to take back to the office. A final detailed estimate and contract was sent within several days. During his visit the rep explained the nature of my bathroom situation and the fact that special attention was needed for various architectural details not found in standard bathrooms and this was the reason for the price he quoted. I felt it was fair. Matt, the craftsman who did the job was excellent. He was extremely neat, polite, professional, artistic and took care to do an exceptional job. I would highly recommend him! Half way through the job, the owner Brian Marek came to the house to meet me and check on the progress of the work. He asked to take pictures of the final project. In conclusion I can say that I am very satisfied with the work and recommend this company. This review was written by the owner of the home Christina Koerner Higgins.
Description of Work: Removed tile and wall around tub in bathroom. Brought shower area up to code with waterproof board and new tile around tub area.

+ -1 moreWe choose not to do business with Northtowns for this project due to their estimate being seemingly grossly out of whack with their competition.
Description of Work: We contacted Northtowns as one of three estimates on a second floor bath remodel. He was professional, punctual, and responsive. Estimate was for very small bath with a complete tear out, including expanding a stand up shower into a closet area, new floor, toliet, fan, etc. Estimate also included hallway repair from October Storm water damage and mandatory hard wiring of smoke and CO2 detectors. Estimate promptly returned in 3 days at $20K. Although I am sure the work quality woud be acceptable, the estimate is more than double what the two other estimates came back at for compriable work.

replacement windows
+ -1 moreProblems with shoddy installation started from day 1. The workers told me only one of them was qualified to do this type of installation and that Brian hired anyone who was available. The men working were not happy with him, I should have seen this as a red flag.Issues immediately were cracked/shrunken caulk, the guys that ran the bead of caulk had filthy fingers so all the beads were gray and full of dirt. One double hung window was adjusted 3 times and still did not operate properly. Brian never offered to contact the window manufacturer for a new frame, I had to do this myself only to have the manufacturer tell me that Brian had to make the request. All the replacement windows were drafty. The aluminum trim around the windows was sloppy, bent, dented and scratched. When I insisted that Brian send back someone qualified to make these fixes, we kept getting put off because he didn't want to pull his guys off other jobs.One final attempt at satisfaction, I called on my mother's behalf in 2011 to tell Brian she was sick and tired of the drafty windows and tired of having to use a prop to keep them open in the summer. He booked an appt, showed up at the house, had a lapse of memory and pretended not to know who I was (we had spoken on the phone a week prior), took 3 minutes to inspect the windows and said he would be happy to send someone out at my cost to "service" the windows. Instead, I hired an independent contractor to open up all the framing to discover that none of the windows were properly insulated! He told me it was one of the poorest installations he has come across. He contacted the manufacturer to have the window that was faulty, replaced. It works now, imagine? Fully disgusted with Northtowns, they should not be in business. I have spoken with other customers of Brian since then and have had no positive feedback. Even the window distributor will not work with him any longer.
Description of Work: Replacement windows were installed, casement and double hung.

+ -1 moreProfessional Yes, Brian was. The estimate was rediculous for the work needed and i would like to mention, the estimate included many other things that were not even needed or asked for by me. IE painting, baseboard, etc.
Description of Work: Ok, I have never really written a review on almost anything, however, this one is worth it just for the laugh that me and my friends got after discussing the "estimate" that I received. I am not dumb in my knowledge of what needed to be done, I simply did not have the time to do this project. I will be detailed as possible to help paint a picture for anyone reading. I have a very small master bathroom in my house. Its floor is about 40sq ft ( 5" X 8" ). It had a vinyl floor, small tile stand up shower, soaking tub with tile surround, toilet and vanity. I removed the vanity, the toilet, the vinyl floor, the tile around the tub surround and the entire stand up shower to the studs. What I needed Northtowns to do for me was the following.Lay hardibacker on the floor and tile, Tile one accent wall, lay hardibacker around the tub surround and tile, lay hardibacker in the stand up shower and tile, then install a glass shower door. My original vanity had plumbing for hot/cold and drain coming up from the floor, I needed this moved to the wall to accommodate for my new vanity which had rear access for the plumbing. That about covered it. I was going to install the shower faucet, new vanity, toilet, and mirror on my own. I just needed a tiled room basically. Now know, I was supplying the Shower pan, and all the tile needed for the entire job out of my pocket. Northtowns basically needed to provide about 10-12 sheets of HardiBoard ( $160-$200 ), Thin set mortar ( $100 ), and other minors ( Tape, PVC, some baseboard, couple 2 X 4's and screws ( At best $400 ). Glass shower door I'm not familiar with but I will go as high as saying $1000. So that is about $1800 ( stretching it ) that they would be supplying. Now what needed to be done was tiling, I understand that is time consuming and a skill, hanging sheet rock, mudding taping, I understand. I would guess a 2 person job, 3-4 days.So what do I get, for a job with about $1800 in materials? A $9585.00 Estimate, But wait.. there's a coupon that brings it down to $8985.00 if I get it done in 30 days! $7000 for Labor??? Really??? As a previous reviewer stated, I'm sure they do wonderful work, but their estimates are so "out of the box" for the job, its not worth the consult. I do have to state one other issue that annoyed me as a potential customer, Brian, the owner did the visit, on time and was very friendly, however once I showed him the bathroom and he saw the shower pan there, and tile that I stated "I would provide" it immediately seemed like he couldn't leave fast enough. I honestly think this estimate was simply because they did not want to do a small job, with provided materials. It is obvious that they want you to buy everything in material from them, so they can obviously profit from that as well. Which is fine, as long as you don't mind working with a buyer who doesn't need to purchase materials from you as the contractor every now and then. The other thing that is annoying as well, the estimate was very detailed i must say, however it included Tons of things i didnt need, nor ask for. Such as Painting the ceiling, walls etc. Installing Toilet, vanity, mirror, sinks, ...all of which i specifically stated i was going to do. Installing baseboard ( dont need it, didnt want it ) and others. Considering I was providing the Shower Pan, All tile, the vanity, mirror, sinks, faucets and toilet and didnt need them to actually install any of the forementioned, I can only imagine what their estimate for my 5" X 7" bathroom would have been if I did not have those items and had to purchase from them. What....$18,000??? Unless you Uber rich, and simply have $ to burn, I wouldn't recommend. Sorry Brian.

+ -1 moreOverall, he was professional, but left me very annoyed by wasting my time by being late and me a ridiculous estimate.
Description of Work: Called for an estimate on a bathroom remodel. Salesman was an hour late and tried telling us we needed to do more things than we asked for. The things he said we needed to do he claimed were to be "up to code". When I researched the code it actually was code for the rest of the house but did not pertain to bathrooms. His estimate was double what 2 other companies came in at for the same work. I'm sure Northtowns work is great, but I'll never pay double for the same work.

+ -1 moreOverall, we were very pleased. There were a few "glitches" along the way but they were resolved. The carpenter in charge of the project was a true craftsman and the installation was very professional. Great attention to detail. We worked out the tile design for the wall above the countertops and behind the stove with the owner, Brian Marek, and were very pleased with the results. Brian was there first thing almost every day to let us kknow what his crew would be doing and to get our feedback. An unreserved recommendation.

Re-wire, re-insulate, new drywall, new ceiling, new plumbing, new floor, new cabinets and counter top, tiled backsplash, new lighting including under cabinet xenon lights, installed new appliances.
