Legacy Contracting

I hired Matt, Dave, and Luis to turn two rooms and a bathroom into a master suite in our new home. They knocked it out of the park!
I’ll start with my experience with contractors: This is our second home. My first is a duplex where I did 2 kitchens and 4 bathroom renovations. I used 2 separate contractors (1 good and 1 bad) for rough work at that location and did a lot of the finishing myself including cabinets, and fixtures, garage doors, Spackle, moldings, and paint. My previous «go to contractor» could not handle the structural work which my wife and I were a little upset about. We had faith in our «go to» guy and some of you may know what it’s like finding someone good. With that said, we’re familiar with the good, the bad, and the ugly of home renovation.
This time around I hired it all to Legacy on a recommendation from a good friend. I had Dave meet me at the house prior to closing to get his assessment of the work we wanted to do and later, an estimate. Their estimate was competitive and I could tell after speaking with Dave a few times that he knew his stuff and he was up front and honest. They seemed to have good connections with all the assets they needed including an architect, plumber, and electrician.
The work at our new home required some structural work along with electrical and plumbing. Old closets and walls were going up, and a new main supporting beam had to go in. HVAC had to be moved. The bathroom was turned in to two connected parts with a powder room featuring a dual sink, and a new walk in closet was built. Two separate double windows were removed and a new casing was put in for a single triple window layout to accommodate the walk in closet.
Legacy worked fast and clean. Their experience in carpentry was very evident in the quality of their work and their understanding of what a client’s expectations may be. Dave communicated issues well also. I’m aware that nothing in renovation estimates is really final until you start taking the walls down. They identified small issues with HVAC and a hurdle with some of the structural design which Matt and Dave took their time to find appropriate solutions to. All of the rough and final inspections were first time approvals and the guys at Legacy were very familiar about the processes.
They put down drop cloths in areas in the main entrance ways. They even went to great lengths to minimize the Spackle dust to accommodate my wife’s allergies.
All in all, a job well done. My wife and I are now working on paint colors. We have since moved in to our new master bedroom and are using all the newly renovated areas. It came out awesome! Every visitor has been impressed and we highly recommend Legacy every time. I will be posting photos as soon as the rooms get painted.
