Joe Ferrando (contractor) was very helpful and accommodating in completing our basic design and in the selection of cabinet and plumbing options. His workers were conscientious in cleaning up each day and making an effort to minimize the mess during demolition. Since this is an old house (1922), there were the inevitable surprises that turned up during demolition, which Joe dealt with effectively. There were a few delays in cabinetry installation, which were partially the fault of the cabinet mfr., but could have been minimized if the products were carefully inspected when received, and re-orders promptly placed. There were a few cabinet finish work details that could have been better with a little more forethought and attention.
Description of Work: Complete kitchen & half-bath remodel: Completely removed two exterior walls, one interior wall, and torn out all cabinets, plumbing, appliances, and plaster lath walls and ceilings to the bare studs in the old kitchen and half-bath. Built two new exterior walls over a porch foundation, a new deck above the kitchen with railings, and a new interior wall with a pocket door to the half bath. Installed four new windows, plaster board, new cabinets, cabinet lighting, hardwood flooring, vinyl flooring in the back entry and stairwell to the kitchen, and primed walls and trim. Subcontracted plumbing and electrical wiring for new lighting, appliances, plumbing fixtures, etc. We purchased the appliances, flooring, lighting, and plumbing fixtures separately, and did the final painting.

If any flaws are found, have them come back right away to do the repairs because they won't come back after that. They also took the air conditioning unit down to paint the ceiling and it fell down a couple of weeks after they did the work. They left the molding around the floor for us to paint. I thought this was something they should've done.
Description of Work: They remodeled the bathroom.

Response from Premier Kitchen & Bath Design Studio
THIS REPORT WAS WRITTEN BY AN ANGIE'S LIST REPRESENTATIVE AND NOT BY THE HOMEOWNER. THE HOMEOWNER DID NOT CALL ME ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS OR WE WOULD HAVE RESPONDED PROMPTLY. AFTER I SPOKE WITH THE HOMEOWNER, SHE WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS SOME NEGATIVITY TO THIS REPORT AND APOLOGIZED. I ALSO TOLD HER THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO COME OVER AND PERFORM A FREE TOUCH UP/REPAIR SERVICE FOR ANYTHING SHE WAS UNHAPPY ABOUT. CURRENTLY SHE IS VERY HAPPY WITH US AND ASKED ME ABOUT FUTURE WORK.

The entire process was as painless as I'd hoped it would be. From the start of the project, Joe worked with us to keep our budget down, and we definitely feel like we got more than our money's worth. Once the work started, the crew was punctual, friendly, unobtrusive, and very professional. I have nothing but good things to say about the work Joe and the gang did, and I'd certainly use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Joe Ferrando and his team updated a bathroom in serious need of help. They tore out an old tile floor and tile walls. They removed our old bathtub, and replaced it with a walk-in shower. They also added an overhead ceiling light and ventilation fan.

The thing that impressed me most is that a lot of people have multiple crews, so they're not always on your job. Joe is one of these guys where he shows up and is always on the job from start to finish. The house I live in was built in 1860, so he had a lot of challenges dealing with stone walls and dimensions that are not even, and he did a fantastic job constructing this bathroom.
Description of Work: They did a full bathroom gut and remodel.

Outstanding. Joe remodeled our bathroom a little over a year ago. He does a great job and he does the work himself. We changed our minds countless times during the planning stages and Joe was always very patient and came up with some very creative alternatives. He is a craftsman who takes pride in his work. We are upset that we don't have any other projects to do in our current house but we will definitely use Joe when we buy our next house.
Description of Work: Complete kitchen renovation. New cabinets, corian countertop, sink, faucet, disposal, wood floor, and recessed lighting.
