Master's Design Build Group

Description of Work: We live in a small house with only 1 full bath that desperately needed to be remodeled. We were on a very tight budget though. Brian was recommended to us by a neighbor who knew him. We hired Brian after the first meeting because his price was reasonable, he listened to what we wanted, was willing to let us do the demolition and finishing work to save money, and said the job could be completed in two weeks (which was important since we would have no shower during the remodel).

Description of Work: Bathroom renovation started 2/22/2016. So far, design meets my needs, documentation &cost projections have been clear and understandable. Schedule clear. First day of demolition appears right on schedule.

Description of Work: I used MASTER'S CRAFT CONSTRUCTION LLC

Description of Work: Ceiling in living room had a v shaped extension from a lower section over our piano to the rest of the living room. Also the ceiling was uneven with 'waves' from the way the ceiling drywall was attached to the joists. Brian and his crew removed the v shaped extension and plastered over the depressions in the ceiling to give it a more even look. Installed 10 pot lights in the ceiling.

Description of Work: Met Brian Martin of Master's Craft Construction at the Home Show in Oaks, PA. While talking to him mentioned that I want to have my kitchen remodeled but have to pay over $25,000 to get a new roof first. (Guy who put my current roof on was out to fix a gutter and told me I needed a new roof and this was his estimate). A few days later Brian called and said he hoped I didn't mind but he took a drive down past my house and no way should a new roof cost that much. (His dad was in the roofing business so Brian learned this trade also.) Because of Brian's honesty I hired him to do my kitchen. My house was build in the late 70's so everything was old and worn out in the kitchen. Builder used cheap cabinets. Floor was a dark old linoleum. Not enough storage for me and I wanted an island. Also an ugly half wall between the kitchen and family room so wanted to open up this area. Builder had put large soffits in and this was a waste. Also used large piping where flexible smaller would have given us more useable room. Brian met with us for an initial meeting to find out what we wanted in this remodel. He is a very good listener and when he brought the rough sketches to us it was amazing how he captured pretty much all we wanted in the remodel. There were some minor tweeks such as moving the microwave from one side of the kitchen to the other. Inlarging the island. Adding a window seat and shelves over the 3-section large window we had. He added a small unit over near where we come into the kitchen and that added a decorative as well as useful area for us to charge our cell phones and keep our keys as well as other things to display or hide away. Bottom had doors, top has open shelves. When we did not find the granite we wanted from his suppliers he worked with the folks at Colonial Granite and Marble to get the granite we found there. Whenever we did not like what he offered or found something we wanted he also worked with us. Another way Brian got us more room in the kitchen was to reinforce parts of a load bearing wall so he could put in an alcove of sorts so that our refrigerator would sit back and not stick out too far from the wall to wall cabinets on each side. Brian came in close to estimates. Only overages were for some plumbing, flashing around windows, electric that were not foreseeable until work was underway. And other overages were because we wanted upgrades on most everything! Brian had estimated $40-60K and total with appliances and granite we purchased on our own came to $70K. Our next project will be a new roof and I am hoping Brian will do that. Then we will be remodeling our bathrooms and yes, hope Brian will be able to do that also. I will gladly show my kitchen to anyone thinking of using Brian for their remodeling project.
