I started working for Dave for a week before he asked me to work at his house. At the end of the next week (payday) I went into his office and asked for my check before I left for my 2hr drive back home. He refused to pay me Bc I hadnt finished the job yet. The agreement was a daily rate and pay at the end of the week job done or not, I was an employee. He refused and proceeded to tell me to leave his house Bc I argued with him about my paycheck. He owed me $525.00 and told me he isnt paying me. After threatening to turn him in to labor and industry he sent me a check for only $150.00 of what he owes. Not what I was expecting from someone dealing in high end work. Service: Installation

Our experience with Studio One was exceptional from start to finish. The scoping team was prompt to respond to our initial outreach, quick to look at our project in person, and timely with a quote. Upon agreeing to terms and signing the contract, the payments were set in four installments.
Our project included: Demolishing a small entry closet to the right of our front door, and installing a new 12' wall across the space, where we would use half the space for a half bathroom, and the other half for a new and much larger entry closet. The bathroom required plumbing to be installed, which dropped down into the basement, and ran 20 feet along our back wall to connect to the sewer stack. Upstairs, all of our bedroom closets were 15" deep, unable to hold hangers, and with poor space usage. We converted 2 of our closets to 24" depth with double hanging rods and a top shelf, and in our 3rd bedroom, built floor to ceiling shelving, as we could not feasibly deepen that closet. Finally, we reimagined our fireplace space by removing the coal-fired insert, cleaning out the interior, removing the dated mantle, and building a floor to ceiling faux wall in front, with studs positioned to easily mount a TV of any size, then covered the frame with shiplap, and reinserted the original cast iron fireplace cover to keep the history of the home.
We can't commend the contractor enough. Ivan arrived every morning promptly at 8am, worked consistently throughout the day and barely stopped for lunch. He was quiet, didn't listen to music, took all calls outside, courteous, respectful, and a jack of all trades. He handled the demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, installation, and finishing entirely on his own, to perfection. All work was complete in 22 working days, and every hour of the day was utilized. Every working space was treated with care, running dust shield plastic floor to ceiling and floor mats to protect the hardwood/carpet. All debris was hauled away, and there were ridiculous amounts of it from tearing down 90 year old plaster wall closets.
I write this review as a contractor across the street is cursing loudly to a friend on his cell phone, and multiple guys across the street on another house project banter instead of painting the house for sale. We hear stories of people having terrible experiences with their contractors, and feel we hit the jackpot. I'll never take for granted the superb experience we had. If you want work done, timely, cost effectively, and right, call Rich @ Studio One and ask for Ivan to do the job. Thanks to the team! We love our improved home!
