Client's Why

Client's Why - They were recommended from a friend, and we saw that they had high quality service.

Before Remodel

Before Remodel - We had an outdated kitchen that was limited and its functionality. Our hall bathroom was outdated and needed to be updated to fit teenagers.

After Remodel

After Remodel - The kitchen is amazing! The large island has become a focal point for our family dinners. We rarely need to use a dining room table because of this option we now have. The bathroom is much more functional to the life of a teenager. The flooring and walls give the entire area a fresh look.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Thank you very much. We really love the new bathroom.

Before Remodel

Before Remodel - Since Mountainwood homes had remodeled our house, it was wonderful. We needed a bathroom update to better accommodate our teens, so we had them redesign it and refresh their bathroom.

After Remodel

After Remodel - The bathroom is much more functional, and it is beautiful! Every time I walk in there, I feel a sense of calm.

Design Solved Needs

Design Solved Needs - The bathroom looks like it was meant to be this way the whole time. I loved the way that they moved the counter to accommodate both sinks.

Design Knowledge

Design Knowledge - Vicki is our favorite! Her calm demeanor, her expertise in understanding our style, and the way that she executed that in her design plans make her the amazing designer that she is. She is talented. She is a good listener and knows how to accomplish the desires of her clients.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Vicki and David - They are the best! They are calm and kind and very responsive.

Client's Why

Client's Why - We had personal recommendations for them by multiple people.

Before Remodel

Before Remodel - It's a typical nineteen seventies ranch style home.

Budget

Budget - There was no surprise billing, and all add-ons were made very clear.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - They met exceed my expectations in all areas. The build quality, the finished product, customer service and the communication.

For the most part, we really enjoyed the design process. During construction when issues arose, we found that escalation to resolution was broken. Our project manager had limited sway with subcontractors and the front office. Warranty claims have been similar, with no responses to opening a warranty claim. Nothing is perfect and I expect there to be problems, How a company handles these problems is key to my relationship with them. Getting problems resolved with Mountainwood was very frustrating and irritating. As one example, after months of trying to get our roof finished so that construction could continue on our new house, I sent an email to the owner. I got asked at various times by people at Mountainwood if I had gotten a response. Eventually, almost two months later when the roof was moving forward again, I got a response from the owner apologizing that he had not seen my email and would add himself to the distribution within BuilderTrend. Evidently it was little help as my next email regarding open issues that dragged the last couple weeks of construction into a couple of months went unanswered and unresolved.

I would say the best part of the design process was how Mountainwood determines the level of finishes and accessories and appliances that one desires. One then gets allowances with a list of what is selected in pricing the house. One then shaps with the designer at their various suppliers. We are frugal and likely spent more than we would have getting exactly what we wanted, but enjoyed the savings when we came in under the allowances.

Design Knowledge

Design Knowledge - We cannot say enough good about Sierra. She was truly a joy to work with.

PM Professionalism

PM Professionalism - I'll repeat what I told Mountainwood on job completion. I cannot say that David is their best PM as I have not met all of them, but I can say that they have no PM that is better. He took pride and ownership in the job.

Value Received

Value Received - The house was excellently built as commented on by county inspectors and evident to me.

Schedule

Schedule - Buildertrend helped us keep aligned on the schedule and this was very helpful to plan our lives around the project

Budget

Budget - Fantastic remodel outcome within our budget

Design Knowledge

Design Knowledge - If or when we pursue another project, I will ask for Sarah. Her design style and keen eye sync with my style as well (natural wood tones, neutral with pops of fun color). She took into account other areas of our home too to ensure our new space matched the rest of our home, but stood out at the same time. And she selected beautiful classy pieces within our budget.

PM Professionalism

PM Professionalism - You can tell Linda has been in the industry for a while...she knows her stuff. It was challenging to coordinate trades due to the small space, but she did a great job navigating and shuffling them around as needed. She'd let us know when trades were due on site so we were aware when to expect them.

Trust

Trust - Tyler regularly checked in during the project to ensure things were running as smooth as possible and that any follow ups were being addressed

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Alison was fabulous to work with. Daniel came and helped finish up stuff and tie up loose ends.

Fair pricing and no substantial complaints! Given the horror stories people tell about remodeling and working with contractors, working with Mountainwood was as smooth as one can reasonably expect.

Client's Why

Client's Why - Reputation, appropriate pricing, and longevity of company

Before Remodel

Before Remodel - Kitchen that was functioning but not functional. Lots of wasted space, not enough work surfaces, and in poor condition overall. I avoided cooking because it was just so miserable to be in there.

After Remodel

After Remodel - Soooo much more storage and way better working conditions. I cook all the time now.

Favorite Part Of Process

Favorite Part Of Process - Picking stuff and seeing parts of the process really come together

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Creative solutions in the overall layout that met our needs but kept things affordable. Really understanding our overall vibe and aesthetics.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - There was one little hiccup where we flagged something early that we wanted to get done as part of the project since we were moving some plumbing around anyway. The work got delayed until the end and there was some back and forth about if Mountainwood would do it or if we should do it on our own... So that was a little frustrating (they took care of it in the end). The cabinet company was maybe a little slow on making replacement doors, but that's not Mountainwood's fault.
