Rich created a custom bathroom for me that posed no shortage of obstacles. He was full of creative solutions at every turn and is the most professional and pleasant contractor I’ve worked with. Can’t wait to get on his list again for my next project.
These guys did an excellent job repairing and replacing rear and front porch steps. They also replaced our wooden porch railings with vinyl railings and a new hand railing for the front porch. Also gutters for both porches. I would highly recommend them for any work you need done.
These guys did an outstanding job. Would highly recommend them.
Longtail Contracting did work on our home when we added an addition to expand our kitchen and add a full bathroom. When Rich arrived, he explained what he would be doing and provided us a timely and reasonable quote. Throughout the project he recommended a few changes that we might consider enhancing the overall final look of the exterior and interior, which we appreciated and fully agreed to incorporate. When the project was nearing completion, we signed another contract to do additional work on the exterior of our addition. He researched products and brought in a mason expert to assist with the initial application of a stone façade, which turned out beautifully. Since completion, Rich has continued his consulting work advising us on the addition of a deck and other small renovation projects. I continue to recommend his services to our friends and neighbors and their feedback has been similar to what we experienced!
