The A Better Home team completed our kitchen remodel during the midst of the pandemic. They were wonderful to work with, from the initial design through to completion. I most appreciated how well they communicated with us and that they were respectful of our time and space. We have been extremely happy with the quality of their work. Vashon paid great attention to detail and made sure that everything was done to perfection! We appreciated his craftsmanship and integrity. This company truly cares about doing the job right! Great people and great quality!

After the flood in 2018 our entire lower level flooded. A Better Home not only fixed the damage from the flood, but they turned our wonderful house into an amazing home. They repaired things that were out of code, improved flow and appearance, and even turned one awkward room into two bedrooms for our growing family. This team of remodelers won't let you down - their work is beautiful, craftsmanship is on top, and their customer service is spot on. Most recently they finished replacing our old and scary deck. The new deck is beautiful, safe, and beautiful! We look forward to them returning to

My wife and I highly recommend A Better Home for a remodeling project. This past winter and spring, they completed a redesign and remodel of our kitchen. The design team had excellent ideas for how to expand our kitchen area and storage while still maintaining room for our dining room table. They have the capability to modify 3-D plans on the fly. They were also helpful in vetting our choices of flooring, tile, backsplash, and paint colors. The construction team is highly skilled, easy to work with, friendly and respectful of personal space (we shared the house for much of the day for almost four

My family used A Better Home for four projects over three years. In 2016, a tree fell on our house that we had just moved into. We'd had the house remodeled by a different contractor, as you can guess we didn't go back to that contractor for a reason. We were referred to A Better Home by an independent electrician, who's a friend of mine and frequently does contracted work for A Better Home. Jeff and his crew did an awesome job. They cleared away the damaged section of roof and put tarps up to prevent further damage. Later, when some water did find its way into the house during a different rain

I had a plan how to remodel my home. They worked with me, improved my plan, and made it affordable. Now, I have pretty much a castle to live in.
