“I can honestly say that we have never been so pleased with a home improvement. It was a pleasure dealing with such nice people, and such fine, diligent craftsmen. The price was more than fair given the quality of the work.”

“They are great! They replaced every door and window in my house, and the finished product was well worth it. The house is warmer in the winter now, and the difference in the cooling in summer is unbelievable. The trim looks beautiful— so good it doesn’t even need drapes!”

“We went with Phil because he was in The Good Service Guide, and also our perception that he could bring what we really wanted into our backyard, and within our budget. The choice of plants was completely his, and he did a super job. We’ve very pleased and we would recommend him to anybody.”
