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 bathroom estimate,
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.
Sincerely,
Elisabeth Austin-Page
