Everyone who does renovations in New York City ultimately has some
horror story about how the contractor didn't show up, the work didn't
happen, the business went bust and they lost their deposit, the
job got started and never got finished and on and on.
Friends and neighbors ask me how my renovations went and of course
they are expecting a horror story or two and when I just smile,
they are confused.
I tell them that my renovation experience could not have been more
smooth and more wonderful except of course for the grout dust, wood
dust, plaster dust and losing my kitchen
for 2 months and my bathroom
for 5 weeks.
Sometimes people ask me how much I paid, and sometimes if they are
good friends I tell them. They are a little shocked, but when I
tell them my experience, they understand it was worth it.
Everybody who sees my kitchen
LOVES it. I have a grouchy friend who just thought it was fabulous.
I can't thank you enough for everything. There are so many wonderful
things that you did that it's hard to even list them but here are
a few that I remember... the kitchen cabinet ordered was too big
and you just called Allon and ordered a smaller one! There was a
scratch in the countertop
so it was removed and fixed. And the kitchenwindow
and all my changes and then finally back to what you recommended.
But you never got irritated, and just did what I wanted. I really
felt like a princess the whole time.
And then when the bathroom
started, I had completely forgotten what Beth and I had agreed on
for a floor pattern so when the "right" materials came
and I said they were wrong, they were sent back and what I requested
(which was different) was ordered. I even made some changes as the
floor was being put in and those changes were made. Walter was real
a mensch about everything. And then there was the medicine
cabinet that he changed twice because of me. I think at that
point, I was driving him crazy, but it was my bathroom
and he wanted it to be like I wanted it.
And then when I asked if we could reconsider the cost of the window
and steam pipe, you reduced it by a generous amount. And when I
requested to pay most of the balance and then pay the remainder
when all the work was done, you agreed to that too!
So now that everything is almost done except for a few little things,
my kitchen and bathroom look spectacular. There isn't one thing
I wish I had done differently. Your help, consistent communication
and sense of humor made this experience for me so lovely, that I
needed to let you know in writing.
I, of course, will not hesitate for a second to recommend MyHome
as a superb, honest, professional company whose attention to its
customers is amazing. Thank you for everything.
I'll still have to stop by and say hi even though our renovation
relationship is over (at least for now!).
