Chris of House Smart turned a nightmare foreclosure property into my dream house. Every step of the way he and his crew cared about doing things right, not just getting the work done. Chris has a wonderful eye for design and had suggestions that improved my remodeling ideas from good to great. He has a wide breadth of knowledge and gave me invaluable advice even on the portions of the remodeling (e.g. a new roof) that weren't contracted thru his company. Chris never lost patience when I kept finding new problems in the house that I added to the project and worked hard to minimize the resulting additional costs to resolve them. While working on the house he also identified and fixed numerous issues (e.g. loose support columns on the front porch) that I had not yet discovered, thereby saving me from future trouble and cost. Chris is an amazing carpenter. On more than one occasion he took my request for custom work, did a quick sketch to show me options, and then created something beautiful. I can't say enough good things about House Smart and highly recommend.
