Remodel a Bathroom in 06033

Their workmanship was good and, once completed, the bathroom looked the way we wanted it, but... communications and timing were problematic. Once the job started there was no followup with us by Fiderio's office - except to ask for progress payments. The job was estimated at 1-2 weeks but took 4 weeks - mainly because they didn't have all of the materials when the job started. Painters had to repaint nearly everything because they mistakenly used flat finish paint and we requested satin finish.

Install or Replace a Shower in 06002

Both John and his assistant, Danny, were very professional and knowledgeable. The actual work they did was excellent workmanship. Very neatly done. They cleaned up and hauled away everything. They were also on time everyday and worked all day.

However I would have liked to have seen actual samples/photos of the toilet, and vanity chosen by the contractor before the work begun. I was sent to the showroom to choose the vanity at my request the day after the job started. The one I chose would not be delivered for 3 weeks, so I went to Home Depot to purchase one. I did choose the vanity using the width-size I was told by the contractor. Height was not considered or mentioned (I guess I should have asked). The very small bathroom (30" x 30") became even smaller and is now dominated by what looks like a gigantic vanity. Plus, I am not able to put back the over-the-toilet storage rack because it no longer fits. It really is a tight squeeze getting in and out of the shower and using the toilet because of the giant vanity between them. I guess I will just have to get used to it.

I also expected the frame around the door and the radiator-ends to be painted to match the fresh paint everywhere else, when they were put back at the end of the job, but they were not. I will have to do that myself.

I also assumed that the removal of the peeling wallpaper and painting of the bathroom was included in the original quote, but it was not. My fault, I should have asked. I had to get someone else to do that in a hurry because I wanted everything to look fresh and newwhen the bathroon is completed. They would have done it, but for more than I wanted to spend.

The bottom line of my experience is that I would have

Very professional and the work was excellent. Our deck came out exactly as we expected, if not better. The company was on-time with everything from phone calls to completion of work.
