Bathroom renovation in an old house
Mine is the sort of project that I suspect contractors have nightmares about. The complete gutting and renovation of a small cluttered bathroom in a 110-year-old house owned by a picky person who spends way too much time looking at home design magazines and websites. Not to mention the yappy little dog who insists on getting underfoot.
Fortunately, I chose Summit Contractors to do the work. Arash , along with his team of highly skilled tradesmen, was infinitely patient and absolutely meticulous about not exceeding his original cost estimate, even when his own costs of doing the work and buying the materials grew because of unexpected challenges that are inevitable with such an old house. For example, the extreme slope of the floor away from the direction of the bathtub drain necessitated the installation of an expensive drop-in tub. Even then, the cost to me did not go up.
They did a beautiful job waterproofing the bath/shower enclosure, installing all new high-end fixtures and custom-made vanity (with a gorgeous stone countertop), laying tiles (floor and shower) and painting, all while doing their best to protect the rest of my house. Arash was always easy to contact when questions arose (including evenings and weekends), and did everything possible to ensure I was happy with the results.
I've always been leery about hiring contractors, and my past experience hasn't always been good. However, with Summit, my concerns were completely allayed as these are among the most honest, capable, hard-working people I've ever dealt with.
Thanks Summit for going a long way toward restoring my trust in contractors!
