Modern Creations

We recently completed a remodel project with Miles Parsons at Modern Creations, and we cannot be happier with the job done, and with Miles. Our job involved a family room remodel which entailed removing one wall and reconstructing another with arched openings, installing new windows and French doors, re-​doing the electrical (a bigger job than expected once walls were opened up — but for which Miles added only a minimal extra charge), framing for a new gas fireplace and hearth, painting and many cleanup activities in the space.
We found Miles to be skilled, hard-​working, responsible, reliable, and an honest guy who was a pleasure to work with. We had a very aggressive schedule for our project, but he was there every day working on our job, and as a result it was completed on schedule. He is smart and finds creative solutions when problems arise — and problems always come up in remodels especially when it involves an older home! His pricing was reasonable, and when design changes were made during the remodel, he was good-​natured and extremely fair in his charges. His focus is on doing the job well, and making his customers happy. He definitely succeeded on both accounts! I can hardly wait for our next remodel project so we can call upon Miles again. And how often do you hear people say that?

Miles was one of the three contractors that we approached for building a wall and entire interior painting of our newly bought house. He was super quick, very knowledgable and was able to finish both of the work in timely manner. The wall was built within a day, textured and ready for painting the next day. The painting job involved removing a lot of wall papers and in couple of places we were told by the other contractors as too difficult. But, the other contractors failed to mention the problem to Miles it seems, because he not only painted the rooms but also removed the «too difficult to remove» wallpaper with aplomb. He and his painting help Rafael were able to go at it like there is no tomorrow and it shows that they take pride in their work. It seems that no task is too small or too big for him. He is a very resourceful electrician as well, cognizant of working on homes that had toddlers running around. He even found an electrical issue in our bathroom which he was able to fix very fast. Miles was cost effective, trustworthy, resourceful, professional, courteous and ultra fast. I have no doubt in hiring Miles again in future.

Working with Miles of Modern Creations was a fantastic experience. Miles had the technical expertise and project management skills to help us remodel 3 bathrooms in our home. He focused on the details and completed all aspects of our project (structural, plumbing, electrical, tiling, painting, etc…) to a very high standard. Miles really wanted to get everything right and make sure we were completely satisfied. He did a great job and we highly recommend Modern Creations.

I phoned him out of the blue and Miles very generously shared his time and knowledge with me when I had a question about the cost of work on a house we are considering buying. If we buy the house we will certainly call him back (or another house that needs work, for that matter). He seemed knowledgeable and very reasonable.

Overall: Miles is an awesome general contractor! He was referred to me by a friend. After seeing his work and comparing his bid against others, I decided to go with him. No regrets at all! I hired Miles to remodel my kitchen and dining room. He exceeded all of my expectations. He pays close attention to the big and small details. He also makes really good recommendations of brands and styles. He really listens to what you want and offers efficient and cost effective solutions and designs. He also isn’t afraid to tell you if you’ve made bad choice in cabinets/​countertops/​backsplash combinations. I can tell he really cares about his work and he’s really proud of his creations, like an artist. This trait assures that you’ll get good quality work! Miles finished the remodeling on time and he offered to come back if things didn’t work properly. So far, everything is working perfectly! I posted some before and after pictures. I am extremely happy with Mile’s work.
Cabinet Installation: All cabinets were installed straight. The cabinet doors were adjusted to have no gaps between doors. The cabinets to ceiling/​walls/​floors were finished with trims for a seamless look.
Tile/​Backsplash Installation: All tiles were installed leveled/​straight. The grout color Miles chose compliments the tiles and there were no smears of grout in sight. All seams on the perimeter of the tiled areas are clean and neat. There are no messy edges.
Countertop Installation: The granite countertop was cut to the correct size and installed perfectly. The countertop butts up against the stove, dishwasher and walls perfectly.
Appliances Installation: All of the appliances were properly installed. There are no gaps or awkward transitions. I was especially impressed with the way Miles installed the range hood. I wanted a specific brand/​model, but all the online reviews say that installation would be a pain and the hood is heavier than the average range hood. I was worried about having too much weight hanging from the cabinets. So Miles added extra support and installed it without any issues. All my appliances work well!
Drywall/​Texturing/​Paint: The original wood paneling was removed from my dining room wall and the ceiling was reworked. Miles replace patches of drywall and texture/​paint the dining room and kitchen. The texturing is perfect and blends well with the rest of the house.
Recessed Lights Installation: My house is old with no ceiling lights in the living room and a dingy light fixture in the dining room. The original kitchen light was not bright enough. Miles installed a bunch of recessed lights and I love them. The lights are seamless with my ceilings.
I highly recommend Modern Creations! Miles is very professional and honest, which is really hard to find in contractors. He’s licensed as well, which gives you an additional level of confidence.
