We had a great experience working with Brett and his team. After looking into several other companies, it quickly became clear to me that Brett was the most knowledgeable, experienced, and the most responsive. We worked with Home Equity for four bathroom remodels, a kitchen remodel, interior and exterior painting, as well as some cosmetic stuff, like picture frame molding in the dining room and flower boxes on our windows. We are very happy with the work completed and felt that the price overall was quite reasonable. I have recommended Brett’s team to many friends and neighbors!

Easy to deal with and explains things so you can understand. When I had questions they were more than willing to answer them even if it had been asked before. Everyone was nice and the work was great.
