Classic Home Improvements recently finished a complete renovation of our kitchen and hall bathroom. We are 100% satisfied. The whole experience from the original design by Andrea, through the CAD drawings by Dawn, the selection of the counters, cabinets, backsplash, lighting and flooring with Kelly, and the construction spearheaded by project manager Todd went easily, smoothly, and quickly. The subcontractors (Christian on cabinets, Luis on tiling, Kevin on electrical, Jim on plumbing) and all the CHI workers like Austin and David were so professional and easy to work with. Todd was a spectacular project manager, always keeping us updated on scheduling, and stopping by regularly to oversee the progress. We can recommend CHI 100% and will surely use them again for any future home improvements.

CHI did a complete remodel from floor to ceiling approx. 8 or 9 years ago. We recently were having a couple of electrical problems, so we called an electrician. He was useless, so we called Jack Crocker. Even though our remodel was a long time ago, Jack sent Neil, his Project Manager, and Zach, the electrician to look a the problems. They were very nice, and not only did they fix the issues quickly and efficiently, but they cleaned up after themselves (even though I told them not to). When we offered to pay for their services, they said no because they stand behind their work. I wish all businesses were as trustworthy and customer service oriented as CHI.

Neil Caton did a fantastic job again as the Project Manager. Neil and his team was on time and finished the project. Each time I contract with Classic Home Improvement it is always a wonderful experience. I have used Classic Home Improvement 3 times now. Each project is done with timeliness, professionalism and a great crew. Site is clean at the end of each day. Overall, a great contractor and always goes above and beyond to satisfy my needs. I call Classic Home Improvements first on any project and they are the ones that come in on budget and time.

CHI renovated the entire exterior of my house, replaced wood shakes with stucco and stone along with all new doors and decks(3 large decks). Tony was very good with helping me with design and colors which I have no eye for what colors go together. The foreman of the project, Neil, was awesome. When I first met him I thought he was little rough on the edges but once we started working together he was just awesome. When I saw something that didn't look right or I was sure how it would turn out Neil was patient and would tell me everything that was going to be done even though I asked multiple times. We had some issues the doors but Tony and Neil got the phone and managed to get things straightened out. There were a couple other hiccups that I mentioned to Neil, when this happened he got on the phone immediately to get thing worked out. Neil is does not gloss things over, if something goes wrong, he does anything he can to get it fixed. Neil was here just about everyday and when he wouldn't being coming he told me in advance and also let me know what to expect while he was gone. If you do business with CHI make sure Neil is assigned as your project manager.
I also have to mention Gilbert, he did the interior painting of the doors, replaced some drywall that was accidently damaged during tear out and had to recreate the trim around 1 door that went missing. He is phenomenal. He was able to match the current paint on the interior where drywall was replaced when I thought we'd have paint the entire room. He also was able to stain the new trim, which Neil was able to get the trim to match the 30 year old trim that is in the house, around the one door to match all the other trim in the house. I was truly amazed at what he did. If you have any interior wood work or dry wall that needs to be done make sure your get Gilbert.

We needed a lot of exterior work done and CHI took care of it all. Our project manager, Neil, was amazing! Their company portal was easy to use. Would definitely hire them again for our next project.

Dealing with construction companies you anticipate headaches. Delays, unresponsiveness, being put behind overcommitments. That was not the case with Classic. What was in their control, they were on top of. They were honest about (pandemic-delayed) timelines. Once they started, they were quick, especially when using in-house labor. The in-house team is fantastic, led by Neil. Really good guy. Conscientious about how you are impacted by project delays. Neil worked to get things back on track ASAP. Was always on it. He was on-site every day that it was important…literally waiting for hours outside our house parked in his truck for an inspector or other contracted team to show up. Answered texts and calls immediately. His team did a clean and quality job. The sales rep, Tony, handled snafus fairly and professionally. Never hired a professional company for a construction job before this. Great first experience.

Andrea and all of the folks at Classic Home Improvements are top notch pros, great folks, and talented at their craft. Andrea especially was helpful, very knowledgeable and super creative professional. I recommend, very much, Classic Home Improvement and Andrea to anyone looking to get remodel work done at their home! Thank you!
I had some old blinds in my house that weren’t working too well and I found Classic Home Improvements online. I ended up buying shades that are perfect. They block out all light and can function partly open. Their team had great customer service and did a great job for this project!
