The McDermott team navigated through multiple unique situations to provide a wonderful master bathroom. We had a vision, but through renderings and space evaluations we had to adjust the vision to ensure the key elements were included in the end. As we a renting our home, being away during the process was a hurdle handled easily through online meetings, calls , and texts. Working through that, add COVID restrictions and supply issues, tenant schedules, and unexpected quality issues with tiles the team was still able to keep us informed and aware of issues. It took a little longer than scheduled

J.T. McDermott removed a tub, installed a beautiful walk-shower, and we are very happy with the results. We especially liked visiting different vendors and checking out our tile and fixture options. The quality of work was excellent and we were pleased with the process from start to finish.
