This is actually the second time we’ve hired Steaven, and that says a lot. We brought him in to take over after we fired a previous unreliable contractor, and he really helped get things back on track. He was supportive, did what he promises, and solid work on demo, rough-in, lighting, and drywall. He also suggested raising the ceiling, which ended up making huge differences. No remodel is ever perfect and we still had to coordinate a few extra pieces, but overall I’m glad we hired him again.
Details: Major replacements and upgrades • Bedroom • No existing plans - need design suggestions

Steve came over the same day I asked for a quote. He was very professional and he understood my vision. He painted my hallway, living room, dining room and kitchen with the colors I chose. He also painted my room doors to freshen them up. I decided to make a bold move and paint my cabinets blue. His expertise and confidence allowed me to be worry-free. When I did have special requests, he didn’t blink an eye to say yes. I am THRILLED with the upgrade. I sit in my living room, admiring how beautiful it is. Thank you Top Home Improvement!
Details: Home • 3 rooms • Walls • Doors • Repainting, with a color change • Fair - minor holes and scratches • No, this is not new construction • I'm flexible
