I should start this recommendation on by stating the truth: I am a perfectionist. I love nothing more than perfectly folded towels, books lined up carefully on a shelf.We recently completed a huge renovation project with Ramsey Contracting, and as a perfectionist, I want to share how carefully and tenaciously they worked on our home. Our house is old – built in 1960 – and it had never been renovated. We wanted to completely overhaul the kitchen, install Saltillo tiles throughout, redo the bathroom, replace all interior doors, and paint the entire house. We also installed new appliances and a new back door.I’m a teacher, so this project was an enormous investment for us. In fact, we paid as much for the renovation as we did when we purchased the house in 2001. A big deal. One that kept me up many nights with worry – should we do this?But as I’m sitting in my lovely new kitchen with gorgeous blue and white Mediterranean tile, I am overjoyed that we did this renovation. And I’m thrilled Taylor’s work -- simply put, Taylor and his team did a stellar job. I wanted each line of grout to lay neatly, each bit of baseboard to sit perfectly against the floor. After 22 years of living with a very old house with many flaws – and as a perfectionist -- these details mattered to me. Taylor and his team came through with flying colors. They understood and respected my wishes, and they all worked make sure every bit of our renovation lived up to our expectations.I also know they went above and beyond for us during the often-stressful process of renovating a home. They understood our timeframe for returning to the house, and we met that date with a day to spare – unheard of in the construction business! There were numerous occasions where I know Taylor did more for us – whether it was replacing a bathroom mirror that didn’t quite work or giving our ceiling one more coat of paint. During our renovation, we also experienced a break-in to the garage, where we had stored basic household items and books. This rattled my family in a major way, and the team helped us install security cameras before we left town on a vacation to New York. I will always be grateful for their extra care and attention, as we were able to enjoy our trip without worry.In addition to Taylor’s deep skill with construction, he also has a keen eye for design and detail. He advised us on several decisions, from the grout color on our floor tile to the shelving in our kitchen. He was able to see the end project and what needed to happen aesthetically with the house. Other contractors probably barrel through, just following the original plan, but Taylor reached out often and said, “This choice may not be what we thought it would be. Let’s talk about other options.” Meeting our design goals mattered to Taylor, and he also pointed us toward other experts who could help us achieve a very particular vision.For my entire adult life, I’ve dreamed of owning a beautiful house like this, and I have spent far too many hours clipping pictures from magazines or pinning ideas on Pinterest.This past Christmas we celebrated in our gorgeous new home. It shimmered like a jewel box with the tree, the table setting, the candles. As we ate our roast beef and mashed potatoes, I realized I would not have to dream about my home any longer – we were in it.Ramsey Contracting made this dream a reality. Taylor is trustworthy, hardworking, skilled and charming. In fact, I can say that about his entire team. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
