"The first thing you look for, naturally, is someone who is trustworthy," John said, noting that he was immediately reminded of a special newscast he saw on Fox 2 in December highlighting the home makeover Gittleman did free of charge for a young woman suffering from cancer. John said, although they explored other companies, in the end they decided Gittleman was right for them. It was that news segment that sealed the deal. We felt that they were honest and dependable." However, it was winter, and the Ranallis were still apprehensive at the thought of home repairs — people treading in and out of their house, the mess, the inconvenience. But they were pleasantly surprised with the Gittleman team and appreciated the fact that all the crew members were very conscientious of keeping their home intact. "Immediately when they got to the house, they prepped everything. They covered the floor and kept everything contained to just the affected areas, and every day the guys would clean up before they left," he said. "What we thought was going to be a painful experience really ended up being noninvasive." The project, which involved a complete bathroom remodeling and replacement of the kitchen ceiling, lasted three weeks from start to finish. And the Ranallis couldn't be happier with the way the process panned out. "They were here every day on time and the price they quoted never changed. They aim to please and they did not sign off on the final documents until they went through the place with a fine-toothed comb," John said. "We are pleased with the final result — the workmanship was great and everything is exactly what we hoped for." So when the time comes for you to choose a remodeling company to undo what mother nature has done, chose the one you can trust to come into your home and complete the task painlessly, on time and on budget.
