I hired Cheryl through Thumbtack in Feb 2015 to fully renovate a 1700sqft home in what we thought would be a quick two months. First and foremost, she's a fantastic designer - she understands color, is particular about details, and can visualize what a space should feel like. Different times of the day, different seasons of the year ... she thought through it all and got the right combination of lighting, windows, and heating/cooling to get it right.
In ADDITION to that designer's touch, Cheryl is a tiger of a General Contractor. I really can't overstate how much energy and passion she put into the project getting bids from subcontractors, managing and directing her own crew, and fighting to keep everything on schedule. I felt entirely comfortable letting her pick fixtures and finishes, which lessened the load on my shoulders. And, from an owner's perspective, the way she documented every dollar spent and provided reports and accounting was beyond anything I've seen anyone else do. It's amazing.
In the end, the project did NOT go as expected. After opening walls, we discovered extensive termite damage (which meant some new exterior walls), antiquated electrical, and sub-standard plumbing work. Most other contractors would have walked off the job or taken advantage of the situation. Most other contractors would have taken an additional four months to finish. Cheryl didn't - she poured her whole self into the challenge and worked tirelessly to get the project done. The end product is fabulous and it took only one month longer than originally anticipated.
Perhaps most importantly, Cheryl's integrity, "whatever it takes" attitude, and her extremely high Say/Do ratio is a testament to her character. She's the type of person I like to work with, and I'd be delighted to share any details of my experience with anyone who's considering her services.

I can't say enough great things about Corey and his team at Elite Construction. We recently purchased our home and were overwhelmed by the work that needed to be done. We met with several general contractors but nothing seemed to click and there seemed to be an overall issue with communication. Additionally, we wanted to remove a load-bearing wall between the living room and kitchen, we were told the process would be complicated, take months and be extremely expensive. We met with Corey and within 10 minutes we knew we wanted to work with him. He is professional, knowledgeable and great at managing the whole process. He thought through everything that needed to be done and turned a stressful project into a breeze. He is no-nonsense and lets you know straight forward what needs to be done. His team was always punctual, worked super fast and did beautiful work. Corey is an amazing communicator, goes out of his way to give updates and makes sure to get you a good price on materials. Elite was so great to work with that we felt comfortable expanding the scope of the project and included a remodel of two bathrooms. He even connected us with great people to do other projects like painting. In hindsight, we wish we would have just hired Corey from the beginning to run the entire process. I can't recommend Elite enough, we plan to do more work on our house - Corey and Elite will be our go-to contractor into the future. Thank you Elite!
