Preparing a house to put on the market is very stressful, and bringing Mason and his team in for the punch list type projects saved my sanity. I just wished we'd engaged Home Masons sooner for some of the bigger projects.

Great work, good people, and make you feel comfortable when dealing with them.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I would highly recommend them!

I am thrilled to have had my guest cottage redesigned by Mason. It was poorly built out and the shower was really ugly, so I was not using the cottage as a guest house. Mason listened to the way I wanted my guests to feel when they stayed there but I didn’t know what I wanted to change or how to get there. He redesigned the room and recommended ways to celebrate the water view of the cottage. The kitchette and a wall were removed, a large window was added, and a glass entry door was installed in a new spot. Mason and Rafal framed in the new areas and it is now more open and will accommodate a soaking bathtub. Yay!! Mason listened to my goals and then designed a layout that will make the room feel bigger, will let more light in to the room, will allow privacy for the toilet area but give the cottage a spa feel. I was relieved that he was able to work within my budget and that I could turn it over to him and not have to participate or worry. Rafal traveled a long way and put in long hours to remove then rebuild the interior and I am grateful.

Clean

Clean - I went to check out the new design after they had left; there was no debris and the existing furniture and rug were clean such that you couldn’t tell that the construction process had taken place.

Communication

Communication - I received photos and texts and phone calls , as I was not at the property during its construction. I felt very much in the know.

Quality Of Materials

Quality Of Materials - Mason has so much experience with choosing fixtures, cabinets, doors, etc, that I did not even look at the internet for alternatives. He’s got great taste and he listened to the “look” I was aiming to create. Mason recommended some upgrades to the existing finishes that will be visible but thought we could use some of the original paneling for things like the interior of the closet. I appreciate trying to use what we already had and spending money on materials where they will count in both function and appearance.

Quality Of Workmanship

Quality Of Workmanship - It all looks terrific.

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - The stepwise process went smoothly and my design unfolded without glitches in scheduling or materials.

Value

Value - I’m very happy with the bottom line for the craftsmanship and design of my cottage interior.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Rafal and Mason traveled quite a distance to my property and worked very diligently — long hours at a rapid pace — to rebuild the guest space so someone could use it. The effort was way above and beyond the norm for residential construction projects.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - None, I was relieved to be able to NOT participate in this process and go on with the other things in my life. I just trusted them and left it to them, and they sent me photos and updates.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - I was hesitant to move forward with this project because it felt like it might become an overwhelming focus for me, with too many moving parts. I turned it all over to Mason and Rafal, and stepped back. I’m thrilled to see the improvements without effort and worry on my part.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - It’s rewarding to have someone with Mason’s talents put in place what I envision but can’t verbalize well or design on my own. He is adept at figuring out how to solve a use-of-space problem or make something look a certain way without spending more money than necessary. I’m very happy.

Quality Of Workmanship

Quality Of Workmanship - They painted the wrong color and when we pointed that out, they came back and fixed it immediately.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Cliches exist for a reason, and as a single female homeowner it is so common as to be cliché to have to deal with contractors that try to take advantage of a perceived lack of knowledge or expertise when they are employed by a single woman. It's so prolific that I typically have a chip on my shoulder before workmen even show up! Home Masons has completely shattered that stereotype. They are honest, reliable, and fair. I know I can always trust them to do the best possible job at the fairest price. I can't imagine using anyone else at this point!

We can highly recommend HomeMasons for all your remodeling, carpentry and repair needs! We were very pleased with Mason's work and he made some suggestions that improved our project. We were comfortable giving them the keys to our house and letting them work while we were away.
