We met with Justin and then with 2 other renovators, and decided Remodeling Journey would be the best fit. It was a great choice! Really liked the way they worked with us on the design and the estimate. Very professional yet friendly and always on top of things.
Helped us wade through the many decisions and choices and offered some great options in addition to listening to what we wanted.

He [Justin] emailed daily and also kept the project software app up to date. My project finished 2 months ahead of schedule. He also worked VERY HARD to insure I had a functioning kitchen for the Christmas Holiday.
I welcome you to review my projects before and after photos. You will be astonished.
