A lot of the local contractors lively hoods depends upon quality installation and service, and add on service in the future so everyone is helpful and wants to insure a good product. This isn't the same scenario as most parts of the country.

There will always be exceptions, but just live in the house for 11 months and you will find the obvious issues, and then have The DeAngelos find the remaining issues after they become a bit more obvious and easier to find.

We found that the roman shower missed a second niche per the plans, so we did some thinking of what we could swap for instead of all the additional re-construction, and they agreed. . . again, minor oversight, as we had alot of electrical changes and additions, so that was their main focus. . .
