Testimonial

“Dear Editor:
It was with interest I read the recent letter to the editor from a Cambridge resident who had been burned by a contractor. My husband Dave and I have a story to offer from the opposite end of the spectrum.
One year ago, we decided to have our hell-hole of a basement refinished, and called six contractors for quotes and ideas. For the most part we were impressed by them all, though some quotes were astronomical compared to others. We narrowed it down to two companies, both of whom had solid reputations, glowing references and who seemed truly eager to earn our business. Each referred us to websites, made arrangements for us to view basements they had completed, and provided Dave and I with DVD’s of their company’s showcase of renos.
I don’t imagine we gave them an easy time of it, as I am a HGTV junkie, and believe I have learned what to ask, and what to watch out for (thanks Mike Holmes, as irritating as you are, I did listen!).
In the end we decided that Germano Creative Interior Contracting would be our contractor. It is a great pity that I have put off writing our praise and offering our applause to Suzette and her team. She was focused, diligent, no-nonsense, fun, respected by her tradesmen, on budget, able to troubleshoot, offered opinions, lent a listening ear, was organized, punctual and precise. She delivered far more than we expected.
We were left with a stunningly beautifully finished basement which included an office, family room, three piece bathroom, and nice sized fourth bedroom. The transformation of dungeon to paradise was a joy to witness and behold.
She is a contractor I can recommend whole-heartedly, and a woman we can now call friend. I actually miss her daily “intrusion” into our lives. Suzette, thank you.
We wish you well – success at what you do and great personal and professional happiness. You deserve it. Take a bow.

Sincerely,
Amanda & Dave”
