“Spartak and his team do an amazing job retiling our front entrance hall and re-doing our hall bathroom. This included building a pocket door in a tricky layout and replumbing the sink for a new vanity. They also painted everything and were very tidy and meticulous. I couldn’t be more delighted with how it turned out!!! Highly highly recommend. They are very responsive, responsibly and creative to find solutions to meet your vision!”
