5/5
My husband and I hired Matt and his team to renovate our basement and kitchen. Immediately we found Matt to be approachable and easy to talk to. During our initial consultation, Matt took into consideration all of our visions and gave us feedback if he felt it would not work, which was nice.
Renovations, and having people in and out of your house, is never easy. Matt, and 2 of his workers (Kevin and Lucas) were in our house almost everyday. They made the whole process as easy as it could be. Kevin and Lucas were very respectable of our house and even made friends with our dogs. This was especially nice for myself as I am a night shift worker, and frequently sleep through the day.
The quality of their work was excellent. We had a few custom work finishes done, including banquet seating, a live edge bar, and live edge shelving which all turned out amazing, and we've had many people comment on how great the final product is. We also had an electric fireplace installed in our basement with faux brick to create the look of a real fireplace, with a live edge mantel, which we absolutely love!
As with any renovation, I would expect a few hiccups along the way, which involved a couple minor time delays. But I would expect this from ANY company doing home renovations.
I have heard many horror stories throughout the years about contractors costing too much, not finishing the job, requesting more money than initially quoted, or doing a horrible job. This was definitely NOT the case with Matt and his team. You will never see their unfinished work on 'Holmes on Homes'. And I have had neighbors ask for his contact information to get their renovation started. Everything was done completely, and with excellent quality. And the price was VERY reasonable. Matt even warned us if something we had chosen, or added during the process, was going to cost extra.
All in all, we are very happy with the final product, and would definitely recommend Duncan Harwood for your next renovation.
