It's been eight months since we gutted and remodeled a full kitchen, master bath, and powder room, plus assorted other changes to our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We even still love the contractor - and how many people can say that after a major remodel?
Our successful experience started with a design consultation at Bradco to discuss ideas for a new kitchen. We had done a major remod on a previous home a few years ago and were still stinging with annoyance and disappointment at the workmanship and the impossibility of getting the job finished. Needless to say, we were gun-shy!
The Bradco designer worked within our stated budget and never tried to ""sell up."" When choices were made to upgrade, the decision was always initiated by my husband or me. One thing that surprised and delighted us is that we spent significantly less money for this kitchen than we did with the other contractor, but the quality of materials and installation we got this time are far superior.
We decided to have B&R, the contracting end of the Bradco ""family"" do our entire remodel, and there was never a moment's hesitation about the integrity or skill of each man who worked in our home. Although we weren't living there yet, the B&R men still attempted to keep the place as tidy as the circumstances would allow.
Much to our surprise, Eli, Many, Julio, and all of the others involved in the construction management and on the job labor showed up when they said they would - again, quite remarkable in this field.
We love using our kitchen and baths, and we still haven't gotten over admiring the results. Of course, like with any other venture such as this, there's been the occasional need to tweak or fix something. We've marveled at the speed of the response from both Bradco and B&R and the good cheer with which they approach any of our subsequent requests. And this is many months since the last invoice was paid in full.
In re-reading what I've written I fear I must sound like a shill for the company. That couldn't be further from the truth. Rather, we just feel so grateful after our earlier remodel experience to have found an organization which does high quality work at reasonable prices, and with the follow through we all want when investing so much time, money, and effort into our homes.
Pros: Responsive, skillful, talented staff
Cons: None
