We recently wrapped up our down-to-studs bathroom remodel with the Handyjew team, and we had an incredibly positive experience. Josh was always available to chat and delve into every minute detail and question that I wanted to discuss (there were a lot). As a result, we were able to put together a very clear, detailed, and fair estimate. In the end, the estimate was right on target, both from a cost and project time point of view. All of Josh's team members are very professional, considerate, approachable, and great at their craft. We've gotten lots of great compliments on the bathroom! I can't say enough good things about working with this team and will definitely look to them for future projects. Also as a side note to how great these people are - during the course of the project, our car got totaled. Josh generously offered one of his in the event we needed it for an emergency. Just a very thoughtful and nice crew.
