The Shop, LLC

unknown

I found 'The Shop' at Angie's list and called Joe, after being half burnt from a local renovator. Joe was quicker to show up than I thought, especially coming from a long distance. He is accessible like any other, in the city, person. We exchanged ideas and finally came up with a plan, he was quick in giving 'estimates'.........boy was it close! Our second meeting was at their house. Well, at their antique-filled-working-shed, to be more specific. Looks like Joe does most of the ground job and Stacey takes care of the paperwork and scheduling apart from lending a helping hand. Both are very warm and welcoming. Me and my wife were sure we are in good hands, even before they started working. I believe, one who can paint the right picture for your imagination, knows what he's talking about. Needless to say, things came our exactly the same. We were ready to tear down the whole kitchen cabinets, as we didn't like the colors, wanted them to be smooth and wanted some more of them around our fridge. He saved us a lot of money by just refacing the existing ones and creating new ones around the fridge, and making all of them 'soft-close'. Looks the same as we wanted it to and thankfully costs much much less. Detail orientation follows when you love what you do. Minor shoe moldings and corner edging (don't know what its called) which he strongly suggested, gave the kitchen cabinets such a rich 'furniture' look. I should 'warn' you........if you explain to Joe what you want .......wait for his little pencil sketch. If he wasn't in the wood-work he would be sketching! They tore down the small island in our 'sterile' kitchen and replaced it with a new bigger island, custom built to our specifications, and still made the kitchen bigger. Joe was also helpful in directing us to the right people for our other requirements. His laid-back friend, the 'Stone guy' would do our granite countertops. He made sure the 'paint guy' had the exact shade and sheen of paint, as planned. Overall it was such a pleasing experience. Looking forward to more work pretty soon. Coming up next is the big wall around the fireplace and the great wall with bay windows. Man-cave is the huge last! I would be more than happy to recommend them to one and all. If you have the slightest of idea of what you want done, just say it and leave it to the ex-electrical engineer to brainstorm the rest for you. Thanks for reading!

Joe came on time for every appointment. When he delivered it, he had enough help to complete the installation. We were very happy.
