So if creativity, honesty and communication are important to you when it comes to your home improvement, you will want Journey Remodeling. Family is priority to us and that is how this father/son venture began. We are not just working on your home. We are improving your home life!
There is a review here and in Google of Journey Remodeling describing how the customer, Robert Hites, had to terminate Michael Cottone, his son Blake Cottone, and Journey Remodeling for breach of contract, and now the customer is in a legal battle with Cottone/Journey. The review also describes Cottone/Journey's noncompliance with TX building code, bad quality, unprofessional conduct, etc. Cottone/Journey replied to the review in Google that they "are in the middle of a private arbitration where the truth will be determined." I suspect the truth lies with the customer because Cottone/Journey did the exact same terrible work on our property, and we also terminated him. We chose not to sue Cottone because he did not have insurance, he had no value in his few business assets, and we could not legally go after his personal assets. Subsequently, although our lawyer said we certainly would have won the case, it would have been like trying to get blood from a turnip.
Description of Work: Extensive whole-home remodel, room extension, concrete slab, electrical, plumbing, drywall, painting, and more

My wife and I hired Michael Cottone and his son Blake Cottone (Journey Remodeling) to build an addition on our house. We had to terminate him for breach of contract and are now in a legal battle with them because of their actions. They did not complete the work in compliance with the TX building code. Neither Michael nor Blake would supervise the work being completed so we had to correct/direct their own workers. Michael's own engineer on the project inspected the work and provided us a multi-page report detailing how Michael did not have the structure built to the engineering specs. If you are going to hire this firm--or any other firm run by Michael Cottone or Blake Cottone, my wife and I recommend you: - insist they provide you proof of insurance bond before you let them on your property - specify the scope of work MUST BE COMPLIANT WITH TX BUILDING CODE - schedule your time so that you can actively supervise his team and his subcontractors because they will not. - inspect everything they do as it progresses to ensure you know it was done to spec.
