Suzanne Walden-Wells

We recently completed a major renovation project on our 1920s bungalow that included a complete gut of the kitchen and dining room, a refurbishment of garage exterior, and several additional projects ranging from plumbing lines to fireplace refacing and exterior painting. The project required coordination of every major trade and sub-contractor, all of whom were seamlessly managed by our on-site project manager. We were kept informed of timelines and status at all times and, whenever possible, our project managers took on problems and repairs themselves. We felt very fortunate to have such a talented and conscientious team -- especially since we remained in the house throughout the 6-month project. A project can only be as good as the design itself; working with Sheila was an absolute pleasure. She is a gifted designer who puts tremendous thought and care into her recommendations. Her expertise ensured we made solid decisions that we will be happy with for years to come. This is our second major project with Homework Remodels. We have one more left and look forward to getting started soon.

Steve helped me renovate (full kitchen and two baths) my historic home. I had a very set budget to manage to and he was creative in how to approach the project. He always was responsive and communicative. I was extremely happy with his service, work and collaboration.

After many years of consideration we finally decided to remodel our home—kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room and new flooring throughout. We are so thankful we found Homework Remodels to complete our project! Not only did they do an amazing job, they were a delight to work with. Sheila came up with some creative design ideas for making the most of our kitchen space as well as other areas. Her help was invaluable in selecting paint colors, tile, flooring, etc. Sheila and her team kept us informed throughout the process and worked with us all along the way. We are happy to recommend Homework Remodel.

We recently completed a full tear-out kitchen and master bath replacement with Homework Remodels in our mid-century home (built 1957). It was the second major project on which we engaged Steve Shinn and company. The first was about ten years ago for an addition to our home that added an office/bedroom, laundry room, garage extension, new roof, painting and changes to front and rear patios. Doing such an extensive project that involved all trades gave us the opportunity to really get to know Steve, the quality of work from his team, and the way he runs his business. Needless to say, we were very satisfied and had no hesitation calling Homework Remodels for this latest project. We were very pleased to see that Steve was not only still in business following the recession that clobbered so many local companies, but actually had grown his business over that time. Knowing that Steve takes a long-term approach to managing his business, and having seen his dedication to customer satisfaction, we were not surprised to see that Homework Remodels flourished. We had uncertainties about other contracting firms, so we went with the one we knew and with whom we already had a good experience. We had confidence in Homework Remodels, so it was a pretty easy decision. One of the changes we found, that was of great value to us, is that Steve now had an in-house designer, Sheila, whose experience and expertise was obvious from our first meeting. It made tackling such a large project a much more comfortable experience. Sheila provided a lot of information on materials, fixtures, and design, and told us where to find more on our own. The Homework team provided guidance every step of the way and did a great job. I would recommend them for their quality of work and great customer service.
