We’re a locally owned and operated company that values honesty and integrity in all aspects of our business, and stands behind our work. We specialize in a variety of major home improvement projects to include additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, major renovations and home repairs. We work efficiently with our resources to ensure your project is completed on time and on budget. We’re licensed and insured & look forward to building strong, long-lasting relationships with our clients and guarantee your satisfaction.

"As a homeowner that was flooded, I put a great amount of time interviewing contractors and felt that this company would give me the best remodel of my downstairs. In the end, I signed a 20-page contract (against the advice of a lawyer friend) and gave Stephen and Ryan about $120K of my insurance money. What I got was an extremely stressful, expensive experience with a variety of results. This should've been my first sign of trouble - - On my quote, Ryan refused to itemize my remodel expenses as all other companies do and this has caused an ongoing problem with insurance and with a subsequent flood. After giving them a 1/2 deposit, it took them over 3 weeks to even begin the project, which they blamed on permits. I was told that, "I could email the permit office," which I did, and received notification almost immediately that the project could commence. This should not have been my job. They demoed up 1200 square feet of tile creating a ton of dust and debris and despite my pleading, they would not clean it up. I became more sick than I had ever been in my life. I was then told that they would begin spraying oil paint on the new cabinets and it would be better to try to get out of the house. Within 24 hours, I arranged for a trip to Mexico and left. When I returned, it seemed that they also took a vacation and nothing was done. Money wasted. I then became more sick and wound up staying in a camper in my driveway as I couldn't afford to go away again. The $7K stairway I paid for is at best sub-standard for the money. He had a company come in and put in a vent for my kitchen (90 degrees to the outside. The guys messed up the outside hole and was in the shape of an oval (should have been a circle and covered). I asked for this to be repaired multiple times in emails and in person and it took over a month to get this done. Then, dealing with a second flood, and installing the hood, I was told by 2 separate installation contractors that this vent wasn't even sufficient for a dryer, and had to pay for it a second time. I had windows replaced, big ones. One of the windows already has a broken seal. I was very happy with the painters, the millworkers and the countertop fabricator. Their crews were very nice, competent and respectful. However, during the process, I learned that they were sometimes not paid on time and the blame was put on me for "not paying on time." That was a lie. I have since remodeled the house a second time and I am keenly aware of pricing for contractors. My half deposit more than paid for the full remodel and furthermore, I paid Ryan in full on the schedule which he created. I held up my end of the contract and expressed to Ryan that this was the worst business experience that I've ever had. I literally had nightmares about it for some time. Sure, being flooded is a traumatic experience but it didn't even begin to compare with what I dealt with Neal Homes. The items that I listed are really just the tip of the iceberg. Again, I waited a full year to write this and also until I rebuilt my downstairs a second time to make sure that I was explaining this with a clear head. My thoughts are the same. I'm now the poster child for all of those people that get taken advantage of by a general contractor. It's a sad story and a very expensive lesson learned."

"I can't say enough about how beautiful my kitchen looks. Ebby made a suggestion which gave me more countertop space. It gave my kitchen a more updated look than I had ever dreamed. I sent pictures to family and friends right away. He tore out the old countertop down to the base MDF that the builder had used. He custom cut 3/4" plywood onsite. I could see the sturdiness of the counters before he had applied the laminate. The seams were not visible unless you were closely examining the counter. The edges of the counters were just as beautiful as was the backsplash. His work was impeccable. Regarding customer service, he kept me notified on when the materials would be in as I had a personal schedule he had to work around. His professionalism was outstanding. In the end, he was hooking up the pipes to my new sink. I didn't get new pipes purchased, so one of the old ones cracked as it was being tightened. At 7:00 at night he was insistent that he go from my house in the country to the nearest town to find that part so I was not left with a problem. Luckily, my neighbor down the road is a plumber and I got him to come over with the part. I don't think Ebby was going to leave me with a problem that night. Service people don't do that these days. He wasn't leaving till his job was done well. In the end, he made sure that he and his helper left the area clean of any mess. You won't regret hiring him for your job. The quality of work blew my mind. I just never expected the extra mile he goes to make the project everything you expect and more."

Marble and granite services FAQs

Installing a marble backsplash costs about $2,200 on average, ranging from $600 to $6,000, depending on the variety of marble and the labor costs to prep and install. Common types of marble used for backsplashes include: 

  • Makrana: $12 per square foot

  • Pink: $25 per square foot

  • Carrara: $40 per square foot

  • Statuatrio: $50 per square foot

  • Cultured: $65 per square foot

  • Travertine: $75 per square foot

  • Danby: $80 per square foot

  • Calacatta: $180 per square foot

Marble countertops cost $3,000 on average, ranging from about $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the type of marble, square footage, location, and whether you use tiles or slabs. Another major cost factor to consider is the grading of the marble, which determines its quality level.

Use this grading system when selecting marble for countertops:

  • Grade A: Nearly perfect with subtle veining

  • Grade B: Minor flaws such as pits, fissures, or blotches

  • Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair

  • Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors

Granite and marble compare well against each other in terms of price, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Deciding which one is better depends on your personal style and preference. Both materials resist damage like chips and cracks well. You should seal both material types against staining and etching, but they’re still susceptible if oil, wine, coffee, tomato sauce, or juice are left on the countertop long enough. As material and installation costs range similarly, the deciding factor is your budget, design, and preferences.

Installing granite kitchen countertops costs about $3,250, ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the quantity and quality of the granite, use of granite tile or granite slabs, the type of granite, and its color and texture. Varieties of granite include:

  • Alaska white: $35 per square foot

  • Ubatuba: $30–$60 per square foot

  • Silver cloud: $35–$40 per square foot

  • Absolute black: $45–$60 per square foot

  • Black galaxy: $50–$70 per square foot

  • Blue Louise: $70–$100 per square foot

  • Crema Bordeaux: $80 per square foot

  • Solarius: $60 per square foot

Overall, granite tends to cost more than marble. Prices for each material will fluctuate depending on the source of the stone, your location, shipping costs, and the thickness of the material. Labor to install marble or granite countertops typically ranges from $35 to $45 per hour. Granite and marble tile and slab costs compare as follows:

  • Marble tile: $7–$10

  • Granite tile: $5–$15

  • Marble slab: $25–$60

  • Granite slab: $50–$100
