Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I want to thank Home Masons for completing our kitchen remodel which was unfinished for a year and a half due to Lowe's Home Center and their supplied contractor Brown's Contracting out of Charlottesville who ruined several cabinets and improperly installed many pieces.

Attention to details with top professional teams.

The job they did, they didn't do very well. They underestimated the cost when they did the estimate. They billed us more than what the estimate said. Overall, the work was poor. I had to have another contractor come in and redo a lot of it.

HomeMasons came to my home, listened to my needs and ideas, got back to me quickly with estimates and additional ideas. There was very little stress working with them. I felt that we were truly on the same team. Their craftsmen are talented individuals that I trust with my home built in 1939. They remodeled a bath, turned an old kitchen into a laundry room, and remodeled my kitchen. The transformation has been amazing.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I will always call them.

The project exceeded our exceptions! We had a wall removed between our kitchen and family room. I was concerned about how to transition the floor which was different in each room. Also, it turned out that the walls of the two room were offset. We could not figure out how to blend the two rooms with floor to ceiling wood panelling and crown molding in one, and panelling that stops at a chair rail in the other. Kevin used the salvaged wood panelling from the removed wall to build back a wide framed opening that allows for the distinction between the rooms without sacrificing the openness. And he transitioned the flooring with a wide board perpendicular to the existing floor boards and carefully matched the stain. Kevin's solution to both of these issues resulted in a finished project that far exceeded our expectations!

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Kevin is a skilled craftsman - a true artist at his work!

Areas For Improvement

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I appreciate that all it took was a single phone call from me to get a repair done at my rental property. I don't have time to make multiple calls and do follow-ups. Its refreshing to have a company I can trust to get the job done correctly and in a timey manner. It makes me look good to my tenants as well. So, thank you.

I was very pleased with the new door installation, from start to finish the communication was very good, the installer reviewed the job thoroughly in advance, and we could not have been happier with the end result.

Recognized Excellence

HomeMasons has done a number of jobs for us. Some were planned (gorgeous bathroom reno, replacement of porch steps) and some were not (broken pipe damage, small kitchen fire and a few more). We wouldn't go anywhere else. Mason always ensures that the job is done to our satisfaction. His craftsmen are top tier.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - They did a fine job. A little bit longer than expected, but it wasn’t their fault. Just couldn’t get needed supplies as quickly as we used to. It wasn’t a big delay.

As a new homeowner who isn't very familiar with home improvement projects, it was so nice to work with a company that was extremely informative and patient.

Communication

Communication - If I could give 10 stars I would. Mason was so patient with my 908349038 questions!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Communication

They were on time, professional, and very courteous.

Our bathroom is absolutely beautiful! We got everything we asked for and the quality of work was exceptional. Be prepared to pay handsomely $$$$.

Clean

Clean - It was as clean as one should expect from construction workers. Not a huge deal.

Safe

Safe - The cardboard stair covers were loose for most of the job. Our small children had to be really careful. Also, there was a sharp wood corner poking out from the side of the stairwell for a week or so - this was from the mechanism they had to build to get the bathtub up the stairs.

Communication

Communication - Mason and Scott were always available through text or phone call. Mason was willing to share evidence of his correspondence with the cabinet company when we ran into a significant delivery issue.

Quality Of Workmanship

Quality Of Workmanship - The work was immaculate. Scott and Rafa went above and beyond. Their dedication to Mason and HomeMasons is admirable.

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - The 450 pound bathtub got delivered unexpectedly on a Friday afternoon and sat in our driveway all weekend. It also wound up being the wrong tub. The issues were eventually resolved but I didn’t like having a 450 pound cast iron tub sitting in the driveway all weekend.

Sales Knowledge

Sales Knowledge - Mason is a visionary and an expert at his craft.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Scott and Rafa were fantastic. I’d recommend getting a new scheduling/logistics/purchasing person in and allowing Scott to manage and perform the labor side entirely. Scott is a perfectionist when it comes to the construction, which is of immense value. Having all of those responsibilities is too much for one individual.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Mason is a true visionary. His layout of the bathroom is exactly what our space called for.

We have had Home Masons for an earlier large renovation and the recent small one. They are professional, take time to help you with decisions and have excellent follow through and follow up. Mason is knowledgable about materials and fixtures which helped us in the design phase. He has a good team who were a pleasure to work with. They were very careful to protect old floors, walls, etc. They were responsive when we had questions or issues. Highly recommend them.

Communication

Communication - Most of the time.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Scott was diligent in trying to make the disruption minimal.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We were a small job in the midst of larger ones and with some tricky scheduling, we never felt overlooked.

I’ve had other good experiences with contractors. This is the first time I’ve had an experience that exceeded my expectations. I appreciated the detailed itemized estimate with the range of choices & costs. I appreciated the open & ongoing communication. The quality of the work was excellent. HM also coordinated with other subs to make certain their quality of work would last well into the future.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Julius and James were great. They were pleasant to have at our house and worked around our dogs. Scott was great about keeping in touch about the schedule and the materials deliveries.
