Overall we were really happy with the work. Really high quality materials and overall really good work. We have had bad contractors before, so we definitely have a baseline. The biggest knocks that I have were their one-sided communication after starting the work, and the mess that the carpentry crew left behind. There were plenty of delays due to the weather (which I understand), but they would often not communicate whether they would be showing up one day or not. Phone calls and text messages from me would often go unanswered. On the other issue - we picked up at least 20-30 big nails on our driveway/patio one day after the carpentry team left. The project manager did tell us to not go on our driveway until he could run a magnet over it the next day, but in my mind, that should be something the carpentry team quickly does before they leave any site. We could've popped a tire or had our toddler step on one.

We contracted with Home Wizards to: 1. Repair sinking brick ledge 2. Demo and replace concrete patio 3. Replace wood siding, trim, fascia, and soffits with James Hardie Fiber Cement and PVC on the back and side of house 4. Paint exterior 5. Put up new gutters, downspouts, and gutter covers 6. Perform other related carpentry repairs Scott and Cindy of Home Wizards arranged an inspection of our home, and after assessing our needs provided us with a fair and reasonable quote. They were great professionals in every step of the project. Someone was always available to address our questions, needs, and concerns from start to finish. The crews (concrete & brick, carpentry, paint, and gutters) were very skilled in their crafts, and the final product exceeded all of our expectations. The whole process unfolded in a timely manner, and we are very pleased with the new, fresh appearance of our home. We highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed.

Scott and Cindy were great. The whole crew got the work done in a quick and efficient and high-quality manner. Thanks!

I was very satisfied with the work and would highly recommend Home Wizards.

I originally chose Home Wizards because a family member had their home done and it was stunning. There is no need to recommend Home Wizards because their work speaks for itself. They offer a great price for great work.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We were apprehensive about the process and the amount of investment. Scott was patient and very knowledgeable from beginning to end. We had many issues with our older home and Scott and his team addressed everything fairly and quickly. It took a couple of weeks and two different crews due to their expertise and the application at the time. I was surprised how professional and kind both crews were to deal with during this time. We can't stop showing off pictures of our new home. We know our investment will pay off!

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - There were no problems. The job went very smoothly.

Excellent work. Will be having them back next spring to remodel two bathrooms.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Attention to detail and clean up daily was exceptional.

Outstanding in sale process, project planning, project management, project execution. Very refreshing experience.

Recently purchased a house with a known issue with a sagging 2 story deck as well as a poorly built set of external stairs. It was complicated enough that it required us to get an engineer in to provide a plan for everything that needed to be done. Scott was able to take that plan and provide an initial estimate on the work with enough detail to show he fully understood the problem and what needed to be done, something that most other contractors weren't even willing to touch, prior to us purchasing the home (allowing us to properly negotiate). Because of his attention to detail and thoroughness it was an easy choice to go with Scott over the other contractors who did provide a bid. We found Scott to be very thorough and detailed in his work and are extremely pleased with the job he and his crew performed. The decks have been fully restored AND improved (screened in the middle one as part of the build) and we're now able to fully enjoy them this fall! I'd highly recommend Scott and his team.

We have been very pleased with Home Wizards. Scott is very detail-oriented and always makes sure we are satisfied with each job.We will definitely be using their services in the future!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - We had a problem at the end with one of the boards - originally the previous deck was connected to the room we had there. When they took it apart, they left a gaping hole, but they did the right thing and they came right behind it and fixed it.

Scott was always available on the phone but I never saw Scott during the project. He sold the project and he never came out once to check. He offered to come back after the project was finished. I thought we would be in once or twice during the project.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - I'm satisfied with how organized you are, and how detailed you were.

They were great. Would tell people to use them. Scott was great. Will use them again.

Scott and Cindy have been a pleasure to deal with on our job. Knowledgeable, honest, & trustworthy and the work quality was great. Highly recommend.

The work was fast and turned out great. Scott's detailed explanations were appreciated. It's also comforting to see Scott check on the work so often.

We had the pleasure of working with Home Wizards twice recently. The first time was fall 2016. It was a major renovation to the outside of our home. The doors and windows were replaced, the siding was removed and replaced with hardiplank, the gutters were replaced and toppers added, and the best part was lots of stone was added. It really updated the appearance of our home. It was a huge project but Scott finished on time and on budget. Scott did lots of pre- planning with great attention to detail. Cindy was also very professional in handling the business end. The workers that Scott used were skilled and excited about making sure everything was just right. This spring we decided to have our decks refinished. We have a lot of outside living space so it was not a small project. We got several bids but as soon as we got the bid from Home Wizards we knew we wanted them to do our project. My husband, Charlie, is very picky. We knew from our prior experience that Scott would do a fantastic job. He did not disappoint.

I have been doing business with Scott Hoffman at Home Wizards since 2005 on our properties. I have used every aspect of their services from both exterior to interior renovations. I have also used them to completely renovate our current house. That project included all new siding, windows, doors, interior painting and a major new deck addition. Every project can have issues. Scott goes way out of his way to detail every aspect of a project and insure you understand what will be done and what each item will cost. In these many years of doing business with Home Wizards, I have always been extremely satisfied with the results.
