Jim was wonderful to work with on this project. He maintained extraordinary communication throughout the entire project. Everything was done to our satisfaction. We love our new bathroom.
I interviewed several companies to do a partial remodel of my kitchen, mainly removing an old island and replacing it with something beautiful and modern. After talking with Jim with Cream City, it was clear they had the best customer service. Jim and his team were very professional with excellent communication and attention to detail. He walked me through the process from start to finish with timelines and what to expect. Jim was always willing to meet on site to discuss the details. He did an excellent job managing all the different trades required throughout the remodel. Cream City works very hard to ensure their customer’s satisfaction. I love my new kitchen with gorgeous woodwork, sleek appliances, and quartz countertops. Would recommend to a friend! I plan to work with them on future projects.
We can't thank Jim and the team at Cream City Construction enough. They were able to turn an under-the-stairs closet in our 1890s home into the most beautiful powder room, and we couldn't be happier. Jim was communicative throughout the process and they stayed right on schedule (and often ahead of schedule!). Would definitely recommend.
We wanted to remodel our bathroom by removing the original tub and creating a walk-in shower. We had several contractors over to get estimates including Cream City. Cream Cities estimate was right in line with the others. The one thing we liked about Cream City was the detailed design we were given. We then decided on Cream City.Another challenge we had was we were leaving to go to AZ for two weeks and wanted to have this project completed while we were gone as this is our only bathroom. Cream City had their crew stop in and look at the project ahead of time and we arranged with entry into our house while we were gone.We got daily updates on progress with pictures including finding that in our 100 year old house we had some wood rot behind the old tile. Cream City remedied this situation at their cost and completed the project before we arrived home.Hats off to the Cream City team and their approach to our project. We are more than satisfied with the results and are now enjoying our walk-in shower.Thanks Jim Grote and team for a job well done. I would highly recommend them for your remodeling projects.
