Brothers Home Improvement

Brother’s Home Improvement recently completed a «facelift» on my kitchen. We kept the appliances and layout the same, but we painted the cabinets, replaced the existing granite backsplash and countertops, and installed a new backsplash.
From beginning to end, Brother’s were fantastic. I primarily worked with Jim, although I was able to meet a lot of the Brother’s team. Jim was amazing throughout the entire project. He provided an accurate, competitive quote. I’ve watched enough HGTV to be paranoid about the problems that can arise during a renovation project. Jim was really great with dealing with my concerns, and he kept the cost in line. He was able to get us scheduled quickly after we selected Brother’s to complete the project. I have heard nightmare stories about contractors not showing up or delaying projects, but Brother’s showed up ready to get started when they said they would. The best part is they showed up every day until the project was completed. There was no frustrating run-​around with timing.
Once the project was started, I had several additions. Jim was fantastic with handling this additional items and providing me with the additional cost information.
We had our kitchen cabinets painted, and I was a little nervous that they might look kind of cheap. Chris was our painter, and he did incredible work. He spent a great deal of time preparing the cabinets, priming them and using a spray painter to apply multiple coats. I have had several people think that we purchased new cabinets. I am truly thrilled with the results.
Jim installed a subway backsplash with a herringbone detail over our range. There is a lot of backsplash, and he did an outstanding job. I am completely in love with the end results.
I will absolutely be calling Brother’s for any future home projects! I highly recommend them for any job!

These brothers came recommended by a friend who has a lot of apartment rentals. I am so grateful he did. I loved working with these two men and I keep trying to think of more projects for them to do.
They do what they say they are going to do and very trustworthy.
They cleaned up after themselves everyday, which made a difference of not having to live in construction dust.
There were several little projects they did for us in one week’s time as we are preparing our home for people to rent and we wanted to make it disaster proof.
Backsplash tile in kitchen and bathroom.
Installing a new wall.
Roof door repair
Installing a new drywall ceiling
painting…
Everything we asked they were positive and performed the work.
They are GREAT and I highly recommend them.

Went looking for a recommendation for someone I could trust to put in recessed lighting in my home. I was referred to Eric & Jim.
I received a quote in a timely fashion, they showed up when they said they would and finished ahead of schedule. They were there with no lapses in the work, thus no start/​stopping to juggle multiple jobs.
Most impressive was how they left each day with my home looking as it was when they started, organized and clean…
We are very happy with the addition to the house and are in the process of making a few changes with the layout of the rooms. I’ll post pictures once complete.
This review is unsolicited by Eric & Jim. They asked that if i am completely pleased, they would love the have the review. It’s the LEAST one could do …
I would recommend and personally use their services again…

Eric and Jim can do anything, they are very knowledgable, and they have been instantly available in several emergency situations with our condo concerning water and pipes! They have repaired a toilet that overflowed and then replaced and repaired the damaged walls and baseboards. Eric also repaired a leak around my window and they have caulked, patched, and painted all the showers, walls, and trim. Over the years they have replaced a water heater and a broken glass panel in my shower. Now that we are selling, they have helped us repair, renovate, and improve our condo to make it ready for buyers. I have known the brothers several years and they have ALWAYS been honest, totally reliable, and reasonably priced. I trust them both and when I come home I always know it will be neat and clean after they have finished their projects. They are my very first call and they take the time to explain everything. I would not hesitate to refer them to my friends. They are great, great, great!

Oh man Eric helped us out so much he explained why our apartment was cracking and gave us a low cost solution! We looked around and asked others and no one was able to explain it the way he did. Great team of contractors they’re extremely knowledgeable and helpful! Can’t go wrong with these guys! Oh and also very trustworthy and in today’s world can’t beat that!

I called the brothers to come out to my rental property and repair damage left by the previous tenant. They came out, listened to all of the repairs I needed, and then followed up with an emailed quote for me to review. When I set up the time for them to come they actually finished their first job a little sooner than expected and offered to get an early start. SInce I live in the city they offered to drive by my house and pick up the keys for the condo which saved me a trip out to the suburbs! When I drove out after the work had been completely I was amazed and how great everything looked. They had patched the walls and repainted them to look brand new. My biggest concern was the deep gouges the previous tenant left in the dark hard wood floors. The brothers isolated the spot and sanded it down so they could stain it to match the rest of the flooring. When they were done I couldn’t even tell where the damage had been! I was 100% impressed with their professionalism and skills and have recommended them to numerous people already.

The brothers fixed a crack between the tub and the tile that was causing water damage at the adjacent dry wall. The dry wall looks great, however, the grout/​caulk has huge cracks in two spots… which over time could lead to the same water damage we were experiencing in the first place. There was grout between the tub and the tile originally, then the brothers used a caulk that I had here at the house with sand in it so that it has a texture and appearance of grout.
I wrote to the brothers explaining the cracked caulk problem, and I included two clear pictures of the problem. A week passed with zero response. A few more days passed and I wrote back again. Another week passed and I got a response — a response that did not include any implications of them coming to fix their work. Jim said that the problem would be because when we get in and out of the tub it causes movement and thus the grout cracked and that it would need to be removed and replaced with caulk. Ahh, except it’s the sanded caulk I had here at the house that they added. And that originally there was grout there for years and it had not cracked in all the same places that the new caulk did.
Whatever the case, they did not respond to my email that clearly documented a problem with their work. When I pushed with a follow up email they responded after a week — without any suggestion of them coming to fix it! So, they are clearly content to ignore and leave shoddy work around the city. Obviously at this point I see the type of concern and accountability they have and will not have them fix their own work, I’ll have to find another reputable company do this.

I could not be happier with the service I got from Eric and Jim. They gave me a speedy quote and an appointment the following day.
I needed my hot water heater removed and replaced, and I was dreading it. My hot water heater was located in a really tight spot underneath my kitchen counter, and I knew it would be a complicated job that would involve removing my dishwasher.
Before reaching out to Brothers, I had been told by 3 different contractors/​plumbers that my custom concrete counter tops might need to be broken to get the job done. I even had contractors who refused to do the work and one that quoted me nearly triple what Brothers ended up charging me.
These guys came into my condo and assured me there was no reason for my counter tops to be broken. They were professional and friendly guys.
I will definitely be singing my praises to the rest of my building and reaching out to them for future projects like painting and electrical work.

Eric and Jim spent nearly a month renovating our bathroom and kitchen, and doing lighting, painting and appliance installation. They were also quick to respond, absolutely meticulous and very affordable. Very patient as this was our first home remodel. They have a very modern aesthetic and are pretty cool to work with as well. Very accommodating and sweet. They have now become our go-​to guys for all repairs and improvements to our home. It’s just the two of them so you do sometimes have to wait to get on their books, but it’s worth it, I promise.

Brothers Home Improvement was a life saver for me. I recently purchased a home. Going into it I knew it was a fixer upper and I think of myself as a handy person. Of course after a short time working on the home I became overwhelmed but i had a small budget since I was counting on doing it myself. That is where Eric and Jimmy came to my rescue. They right off the bat had affordable pricing, were prompt in communicating and in starting the work and continued to involve me as the job continued. Never once did I feel like the progress was out of my hands as they were very patient with all my questions and kept me up to date as things were completed.
I intended to use them for only a few things that I felt I didn’t have time for, but after seeing the quality of work and the way things were getting done so quickly, well, I decided to have them do a lot more. I would recommend these guys to anyone.
