To some degree, hiring any contractor is a hit or miss proposition with Vegas-style odds...timing of work, contractor persons involved and specific circumstances with a contractor at a particular time...maybe our project just hit all of the wrong buttons. While the end result was exactly what we wanted, in my view it was largely in spite of MHRs efforts; I attribute that largely to our efforts and that of the subcontractors. I can hire the right subcontractors and supervise them on my own to ensure the quality is up to my expectations, but I pay a general contractor to help get the ideas out of my head, into a plan and then into real-life and to minimize the disruption on my quality of life. Modern Home struck out on nearly all of these objectives, telling us they couldnt design as we desired largely due to what we viewed as an unwillingness to put forth the effort to solve the hurdles to give us what we wanted. If we had been less stubborn and accepted the laziness on their part, we would have gotten what THEY wanted to provide to us, not what we wanted. In the end, due to our insistence, we figured out how to get it done, and at no additional cost. In addition, we had to spend significant time giving oversight to the subcontractors to ensure things were done in the manner which had been previously agreed to with MHR including taking significant time off from work. Once the work was completed they then attempted to bill us for material overruns which were due to MH ordering more than 2 times the quantity needed per the original design plan. If you hire these guys, question constantly, quality check religiously and dont accept any supplemental billings without making a thorough review; however, we are in the process of starting a large outdoor project and I dont plan to make the same mistake again...

MHR did a major master bath renovation for us: new shower, pan, shower tile, new tile floor throughout the bathroom and laminated wood in the closet. The end result was everything we hoped and planned it to be.Their quote was detailed and easy to understand so that there were no surprises during construction. The project took a month which was their original project estimate. The foremen met with us almost daily and there was very little time when there was no one working. What we really appreciated was the that the trades came at a reasonable time in the morning and left by 5 pm so we could have the house back for the evening. Only once because of scheduling did a trade have to work a Saturday. One glitch occurred that had to do with the drawings done by MHR not getting transferred to the trades. Luckily we had made copies and no time was lost. A call to the manager solved any further problems.

Dont waste your time if you have a project in more than one room. Spent hours with a (very nice) rep from the company in March walking my property and was promised a quote within a week or two. A month later and no word, so I followed up. Took several more days to get a response, and then only a quote for portion of the work we had discussed. When I asked for a complete quote, I was told that my project was too much for them but to let them know if I ever needed a kitchen remodel. Sorry I wasted my time.

Modern Home is a fantastic renovation company. They handled our kitchen renovations, replaced the floors in our home and provided us with new front doors. The service was impeccable, from Mike, who handled the project to the design staff and the men who actually perform the renovations. Everything was completed to perfection and on schedule. Their professionalism is unlike any other I’ve seen in the business. We will use them again for other home renovations.
