Bathroom remodeling recommendation

Our thanks go to Randy Hunt and the whole team at Cahill for planning and installing our bathroom remodeling project. We deeply appreciate your company's commitment to quality, communication, and service.Randy and Lenny patiently explained choices, materials and helped in keeping the costs reasonable. They spent as much time as was needed and made practical suggestions to help our ideas come to reality. This has meant a great deal to us and to the project.Several people contributed to skillfully planning and executing a high quality job in a small space. Randy guided us through all of the considerations of converting our old tub to a walk-in shower, on the sturdy Wedi foundation. Lenny determined and ordered the amounts and kinds of tile we needed in the custom color and style we wanted. We admired Zole's skill and patience in tile installation. He laid out the horizontal liner tile pattern we had designed so that the pattern, different wall heights and wall niche were perfectly integrated. Brennan's carpentry, Rich's plumbing and the Corrigan Electrical electrician all gave us a solid, professional installation. Randy helped us select well made, good looking components--the Kohler toilet, Grohe faucets, hand shower and valves, the ginger lighting, a Panasonic fan, the custom glass shower surround and the Robem medicine cabinet. The Crystal Cabinet vanity was beautifully painted in the factory Sherwin Williams color we needed to coordinate with the wall color and the Corian fabricators built, installed and customized the sink counter with a continuous backsplash, as well as the matching shower trim.The core scheduling and communications on the work was excellent and everyone's' tasks fitted in the schedule efficiently. There was a prompt follow-up to correct some minor flaws. The outlier problem of Cahill being send the wrong type of a newly designed shower valve was successfully worked out in a cooperation with the manufacturer. John J. Cahill, Inc. has reliably served our planned and unplanned plumbing needs for many years. Now we can also enthusiastically recommend you to those who appreciate quality, service and classic good looks in the complexities of bathroom remodeling. We have a bathroom that is solidly constructed, beautiful and functional. Thank you!

Satisfied repeat customer

This note is to let you know how satisfied I am with the completed bathrooms makeover. From the start, Randy and Lenny were there to help pick out and design our needs. Randy was always on top of all the work being done. The workman that he brought in was very efficient, very clean and extremely professional. Also, Randy was always there for whatever needs that we requested. I am saying Thank You to all your workmen for a job well done. Just to let you know, I am not a new customer. Your Company did my kitchen, which came out great.
