FEBRUARY 29 AT 3:00 A.M. I WOKE TO THE SOUND OF DRIPPING WATER Just two years ago we bought a totally remodeled condo in Brentwood. Now water was steadily dripping out of my recessed LED ceiling fixture. While awaiting an HOA approved plumber I collected 60 gallons of water in a recycling barrel. It took 36 hours to find the leaking sprinkler system pipe buried in a staircase wall in the floor above us. WHAT TO DO? We called Hannah Pilkington of COMPASS the amazing realtor who had sold us the condo and asked her for referrals. She recommended Nu Environmental for mold testing and CRS Construction for high skill finishing and remodeling. The 1996 iron pipe had been leaking albeit very slowly, for months so THERE WAS MOLD IN THE CEILING, WALLS & WALK-IN CLOSET. I immediately called Joseph Chadarevian the owner of CRS and explained my situation and urgent need for high skill reconstruction in the containment area. He came the very next afternoon and did a walk through and took measurements and samples of the crown moldings and baseboard. I endorsed him to the HOA but needed them to approve. He passed the 3 bid requirement of the HOA with the LOWEST BID! He scheduled Gabriel, his BEST FINISH CARPENTER on hold for me. CRS began their work 14 hours after the mold remediation clearance was confirmed. They had promised completion in 6 days. I didn't believe it possible. But by the second long and productive day I BECANE A BELIEVER! Gabriel was a soft spoken gentleman but he insisted on carrying the 58th inch drywall into my bedroom by himself. He hung the ceiling the next day and was doing first coat spanking third day. INVISIBLE SEAMS. EACH DAY PROMPT ARRIVAL NO COFFEE BREAKS AND MY HOME AND ENTRY WAYS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN! By the fourth day he began replacing the expensive moldings and I was AMAZING JOINERY OF THE FANCY MOLDINGS. The texturizing of the wall paint and perfect edging. I loved their work. EXACTING STANDARDS! FAIR PRICE! BEST INSULATION AND DRYWALL. DUNN EDWARDS PAINTS! THE BEST OF THE BEST! THESE GUYS REPLACED MY NIGHTMARE WITH A BEAUTIFUL DREAM!
