Northwood Construction, Inc. came to our rescue after a triple-botched shower replacement left us with water damage and a lovely hole in our laundry room ceiling before COVID shutdown. After researching home remodelers through Checkbook and other sources, we carefully selected Northwood to completely remodel our large master bathroom. We quickly grew to trust Bob and Whitney during the design and selection phase and knew that waiting for their crew to start work was the right choice. They provided us with a detailed scope of work broken out by phase and by trade partners’ work, detailed layout plans showing demolition, build out, electrical, plumbing, and painting plans. Bathrooms require an overwhelming number of bits and pieces; Whitney, Bob, and my husband and I went to plumbing, lighting, granite, and tiling suppliers. Whitney was always prompt, professional, organized, and guided us through the selection process. I overwhelmed easily and she was reassuring and able to describe the different end “look and feel” of each choice. Each of their subcontractors come to a walk through to review what they need to do and verify that the work can be done as planned. We had a steam shower installed, so we had some special considerations for plumbing, tiling, and glass surround. During the project, we used CoConstruct online to help with tracking progress, selections, change orders, finances, and questions/messages. Financials are dealt with professionally and are predictable based on milestones. Our master bath is a huge improvement over the original and we are extremely happy we chose Northwood Construction.
Northwood just helped us with a big upstairs remodel where we had our horrible stipple ceilings removed, replastered, and painted; complete recarpeting; repainted hallway, 3 bedrooms, hallway/foyer, and master closet repainted; as well as carpentry to remove a platform in our master bedroom, removed fittings in master closet and updated it with lighting and outlets. It was a huge effort on our part to move everything and set up a bedroom on the main level during the project. We worked with Whitney again and Matt was our Lead Carpenter acting as the general contractor. Matt’s always courteous, helpful, and professional in both manner and skill; he kept us informed of his expected arrival time and any variations in timeline. He kept us informed of the painting crew’s activities and schedule. We did have an issue with some water leakage into our dining room, and the repair work was just completed for us without complaint and in a very reasonable period. All went well and our upstairs looks great thanks to Northwood.
