When I moved into my new apartment in January, I decided that I
would renovate
the kitchen. The apartment had received no attention aside from
the occasional painting
and floor
refinishing in over 20 years. I imagined this, my first renovation
project, to be a small project with little impact on my life in
my new apartment. I was wrong - and I couldn't be happier.
When I began getting estimates for the kitchen
renovations, Ben from MyHome
arrived. I thought there was no harm in asking for a bathroomestimate,
not because I was ready to do a project of that size, but it would
be good to have a number for the future. Ben happily did the added
work, as I complained about having to find a painter and floor
refinishing company. Ben offered to give estimates for that
as well. He had beautiful ideas for what could be done to my small
and claustrophobic kitchen; when I had trouble imagining the kitchen
as he described it, he drew pictures and I began to get excited
about what would soon be my
new kitchen. Ben had big ideas for my small one bedroom and
it was nice to see someone as excited about the project as I was.
When the estimates came in, separate kitchen,
bath,
paint,
and floors
as I requested, I was surprised to realize that I might be able
to afford the entire project. MyHome's
references were glowing and so the project began. Ben and I
chose the fixtures, appliances, tile, countertops, everything in
one whirlwind evening in
the showroom. Always mindful of my budget, Ben would give me
several options for what was needed. When I contacted him a few
days later, he took the time to put an email together with pictures
of most of the items so I could show them off to my friends and
family. He gave me an estimate of what the materials would cost
and the ordering began. Now that the project is complete, I think
it's important to mention that both the estimates for labor and
materials were intact.
As work was about to begin, I met Jesse, who would be my guide through
the construction
process. He answered every question I had with patience and
spoke to me in layman's terms. He was even more excited about the
project than I was! He prepared me for the reality of the work ahead
and gave me an approximate date that I would be able to move back
into the apartment. Of the few items that I had moved in, MyHome
created a quarantine area where my furniture would be safe. What
stands out most about my time with Jesse was his enthusiasm, endless
knowledge, and reliability. He and I consistently had weekly meetings
at the apartment to review the team's progress and next steps. He
happily accommodated my work schedule and often sent me updating
emails. He referred to the construction team by name and Andrew,
the foreman, would often attend our meetings. Andrew and his team
were able to finish my entire project a month ahead of schedule.
Everyone at MyHome
seems to love their job, and it shows in the quality of their work.
After hearing stories from my friends and family, only now do I
realize how lucky I was to have found MyHome.
It seems as if they are working, single handedly, to change the
reputation of renovations.
I would like to wholeheartedly recommend MyHome
to any person about to begin kitchen or bathroom renovations. They
are an amazing team who delivered beautiful work.
