They did a very good job. Professional, came when they said they would and did what they said they were going to do, would use them again
The result was well worth the time it took. We are very pleased with the expanded space, upgraded lighting, beautiful tile backsplash, and effective color scheme. We appreciate the quality of the staff and found them pleasant and conscientious. Although our house and kitchen are smaller than many of the Beard Group's other jobs, they gave us the same high quality of work and design service. Every one who visits is amazed at the transformation and the beauty and style of the new kitchen. It is a tribute to the skilled workers, project managers, and above all, the designer, Claire Barilla, and her assistant. She facilitated and coordinated a look that is both historically appropriate and fresh as a daisy.
Description of Work: Complete remodel and expansion of kitchen and powder room, including demolition to studs, moving load bearing wall, demolition of powder room wall, and moving powder room toilet. Every surface was replaced. The superb Beard Group designer and her team created a new layout, and provided comprehensive guidance in the selection of all finishes and components: plumbing fixtures, cabinets, countertop, hardware, window treatments, wallpaper, paint colors, tile, and lighting. Beard Group staff includes carpenters, electricians, plumbers, tile setter, painters. Beard group called in a structural engineer when necessary for changes to the load bearing wall, and worked with Cleveland Heights inspectors for necessary permits and inspections.

He was punctual with scheduling and completing the work. I was also pregnant at the time of the work and they were very courteous of making sure they cleaned up afterwards and there wasn't excessive dust.
Description of Work: The provider came over to look into why we were getting water into our house. He listened to what we had previously thought the problem was and how it had reoccurred. He was able to determine that the water was coming through cracks we had in the masonry of our chimney. He even took pictures to support why he came to this conclusion. Since we no longer needed the chimney we used this provider to remove the old chimney and to give us more space in our house.

One of the biggest gripes I have with contractors and service providers is they don't return phone calls or e-mails in a timely manner. The next one is when they delay coming to give estimates, etc. All I wanted was for someone to come and look at the projects I have so that I could do my planning. Much of the work I need done does not need to be done right away, but I do need to plan. Return your phone calls folks! If that's too hard, at least respond to e-mail. Update as of 9/21/15 when I saw the response from the contractor: It takes quite a bit of confidence to accuse a potential customer of lying and not returning phone calls, when in fact, I had made several attempts with no response via e-mail or voice mail. I am sure other users of Angie's list will read your response as I note several others to negative reviews.
Description of Work: Returned one phone call and one e-mail and never heard from them again after they told me how busy they were.

On March 23rd we responded to your email to narrow down a time to meet. We also outlined our availability for potential work start to make sure it would still be an effective use of everyone's time to meet for an estimate. Per our records, you never responded. How is that unprofessional? At least we were honest and forthright from the very beginning instead of wasting your time and misleading you about our availability. Service providers like us do our best to act as consultants with potential clients. If you found a contractor with immediate availability, you should be asking yourself why.

The quote went fine we both realized by the end of the meeting that their company wouldn't meet our needs
Description of Work: We got an estimate for redoing our master bathroom a;nd it was our first quote. Their service seemed very professional but also very high end. they made it clear that our budget was not feasible using their company. An honest response. We eventually increased our budget but not to the level that they would have required.

We have a very specific way we conduct business based on a proven track-record of success. This member pressed us for verbal quotes during the estimate. Anytime we are confronted with that request, we respectfully decline and when pressed further we err on the high side to avoid misleading the client. We felt this member's budget was a bit unrealistic given the desired scope and preference for higher grade finish materials executed by top talent. Perhaps if we were given an opportunity to refine the estimate on paper, a more appealing number would have been provided. But sometimes it's best to part ways before wasting anyone's time. Also, we never actually performed any work for this member, but Angie's List erroneously says that we did as of this writing (5/22/15). Thanks for sharing on Band of Neighbors! Much appreciated.

Thank you for this review! We really appreciate you as clients and are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you. This fantastic kitchen can be seen here! http://www.thebeardgroupcleveland.com/cleveland-heights-kitchen-remodel/
We really appreciated their professionalism and responsiveness to our inquiry. They let us know from the beginning what the time frame would be. They spent time going over the details and why they were suggesting the work they did. Although we decided to go with another company, we will be keeping the Beard Group in mind when we start looking at other projects for our home. We highly recommend reaching out to them for any remodeling needs!
Description of Work: This review if for an estimate of work only. The scope of our project was fairly large - wallpaper removal on full first floor as well as second floor hallways, paint removal of all wood work (trim, baseboards, built ins, doors) and carpet removal.

They were very quick and from the initial look and a few feet away it looked great. However upon further review the paint was not applied correctly and they did not use a brush like they told us they would. Also they did not put the shakes in correctly, cut out the old one and only put the replacement in the cut out instead of removing the shake above it

This project was actually performed in 2008....SIX YEARS AGO! We always stand behind our work. However, since the day we were finished, we never received a call or email from this client inquiring about the quality of the work. Why wait six years to complain? Additionally, a paint job on a cedar shake house will not last six years without some bubbling or minor touch-ups required. A painted house needs ongoing maintenance. The entire house was scraped. All bare spots were primed with an oil primer. Every sprayed surface was back-brushed. We used a top-grade paint. All best practices were followed. Perhaps there is an underlying issue with moisture causing problems with the siding? We wish this client had contacted us when they "discovered" they were unhappy as that would have been the most logical way to address any concerns. However, waiting six years in Cleveland's climate to vocalize concerns about peeling paint is not logical to us. We are reasonable, fair and professional people when we are treated the same. This review is ridiculous.

It went great. They are trustworthy and they do a good quality of their work. They come on time.
Description of Work: We used The Beard Group for plumbing.
The Beard Group staff have tremendous expertise in all aspects of remodeling and renovating older homes typical of the Heights area. At the start of the process, the Beard Group designer visited the house, measured, drew plans, and then went to showrooms with us to help pick out fixtures and tile. She understood our taste and the style of the house, but guided us to make selections of colors and finishes that we would not have been able to do on our own. The course of the work proceeded continuously and logically, from the demolition of the existing room, the installation of new wiring and pipes, new wallboard, waterproofing and insulation.The tile, painting, and installation of hardware were the final phase of the work. Cleveland Heights permits and inspector visits were all arranged by the Beard Group project manager. From beginning to end, a staff member or team of staff were on site at our house nearly every day. The caliber of the staff is outstanding. They are highly skilled artisan-craftsmen, dedicated to top quality work, and pleasant and friendly to have in the house. The staff are very attentive to neatness and cleanup at the end of each day. Our friends and neighbors have raved about the new bathroom--especially the tile, the tiled shower niche, the built-in wooden shelves, and the beautiful color scheme, tile and paint. The work was well managed, and we appreciated that the Beard group staff includes all the specialists needed for the job, including electricians, plumbers, painters, carpenters, and tile setters. The managers were extremely responsive to our questions and requests, and kept us updated with text messages and e-mails. We whole-heartedly recommend the Beard Group, and enjoyed working with Chris Beard and all the staff.
Description of Work: Complete bathroom remodel: demolishing existing floor, walls, ceiling, and removing all existing fixtures. Installing new walls, floor, and ceiling, all new fixtures (including 500 pound cast iron tub), ceramic tile on walls and floor, recessed lighting and light fixtures, fan, and new drain line.

This is why Angie's List can be misleading. We estimated installing a new bathroom where one didn't exist. Total budget was likely above $25,000. There was no "they" but only one of us. We didn't call the member, they called us. And we can't imagine what it would be about our clothes that this member wouldn't like. This estimate meeting occurred almost a year ago. Vague remembrances about what may or may not have occurred shouldn't be relied upon to galvanize the reputation of an organization.
