[Via the RenovateDSM e-mail group] We had Jim replace some rotten window sills for us last fall and we were so impressed with his attention to detail, we decided to ask him to bid our main bathroom. His bid was very reasonable -- about the same as what we were charged to renovate our much smaller half bathroom a few months ago.

[Recommendation submitted via e-mail] I was a lucky recipient of Don Curry and his crew from Loki's Garden.

Not only did they do a great job with solving my drainage problems, they offered advice on renovating the garden and surrounding area and followed through on every facet of the job with polished results. They were happy to work within our budget and they came through beautifully.

They were on time, did what they promised and made us very happy. We'd hire them again without hesitation.

[Recommendation submitted via e-mail] If you want an honest contractor who knows how to communicate, this is your guy. Troy handled a major renovation for us, which included adding a powder room in a closet, gutting kitchen and master bath, building closets, doing exterior stucco work, drywall/plaster repair, electrical, and plumbing, removal of steam heat and replacement with geothermal, and building a two-car garage. He does mostly carpentry and gets subs for the things he can't do. All of his subs were on-time, friendly, and good.

Scott remodeled a bathroom and kitchen for us, including some difficult tile work and custom site-built cabinetry. He and his assistant were conscientious while working in an occupied house, consistent with their work schedule, and competitively priced.
