We engaged Avanti in a landscaping project this spring and were incredibly satisfied with the results. The project turned out beautifully and expanded our entertaining and outdoor living space. We have so enjoyed the summer on our new dining and lounging area in the backyard. The patio allowed us to entertain outdoors which was a welcome benefit as we came out of COVID. The highlight of the project though was the new driveway and walkway to our front porch. We had long had trouble with drainage in the driveway with frequent flooding of our garage. The team at Avanti came up with a design that regraded the driveway and installed permeable material that has done an incredible job of solving our drainage issues. No more flooding. The company was responsive, professional, and extremely competent. The crew showed up on time, work efficiently, kept the site clean and were done within a week. A small issue with broken tiles was solved immediately and the work was top notch. I would recommend them for any high quality job your are interested in.

We engaged Norseman Construction for an overall renovation project for our home that had three distinct and somewhat disconnected segments: a main floor bathroom gut and renovation, a re-orientation of our front entrance, and an update to our interior stair. None of the projects were large, so finding a contractor to take them on individually had always been a problem for us. Norseman did an outstanding job of managing all phases of our project with stunning results. We especially wanted to highly recommend Robert, our Project Manager for the our project. Under some of the most challenging circumstances with the pandemic, the lockdown, material shortages and schedule changes, Robert always kept us up to date and the project moving. There were clear lines of communication, and an extremely collaborative approach to making sure our vision for what our home would look like was realized. Robert made a process that will always be stressful and anxiety inducing as straightforward and enjoyable as possible. If you can select a PM, grab Robert. Norseman's use of Builder Trend as both a project management and client communication tool is a cut above any other construction management company I have dealt with, and I would recommend them solely on the basis of their use of this app. It provides good guidance on scheduling, messaging and documentation, which keeps the relationship on track. I would recommend Norseman for anyone looking for quality workmanship, outstanding project management and clear communication for their project.
