Two Storey Building was a great fit for us in a number of ways: they are an environmentally focused/green company, they were willing to put up with changes in plans to expand or contract the project as needed, they were willing to use recycled or re-used materials when we could get them - and in one case, helped us get them! (2200 SF of re-purposed barn board), and they enjoyed working on our small, quirky yet complex project! This was the first time we have hired a general contractor, and they were well worth the extra money, identifying and coordinating extremely skilled crews from framing and roofing to electricians and plumbing and painting; procuring necessary permits; even finding a well contractor to dig a new well with good water. Crews were uniformly courteous and considerate of our very close (14 feet away!) 92 year old neighbor. During COVID, many construction projects are delayed months for lack of people and material resources, and Doug of TSB used his expertise and connections to minimize delays greatly. Mat, his lead carpenter, was patient and skillful, and had great design ideas but also worked our design concepts into the final picture. I would more accurately give them a 4.5 rating: we had some communication issues, some of which were our fault for not understanding all the details and ramifications, some of which were the responsibility of TSB - but to their credit, they accepted responsibility and apologized, and were eager to improve communication as we moved forward. No company is perfect, but I would definitely use TSB again if needed. They are good people, want the customer to be highly pleased with the final product and highly skilled at...
   Read moreTwo Story Building remodeled an original bathroom, creating a modern wet room with an open floor plan and lofted ceiling. They were willing to work with our design and install a custom cabinet that we built and provided, and they solved some structural issues at the beginning which allowed us to move forward with the original design intact. They were meticulous in their attention to detail, making sure that we understood any issues that arose, and were infinitely patient and respectful of our requests and concerns. There was never an impatient reaction, or air of condescension, even when we had multiple questions or when small changes were made mid-way through the process. The subcontractors were professional and obliging, and I felt that Two Storey did an excellent job pairing the workers to the job. For instance, because of the design, this room was all about the larger format tile, which was installed on all four walls, floor to ceiling, and the work required a good amount of planning to get the layout correct. The tile installer spent a full day with us and making sure he understood exactly what we wanted. The electrician was also extremely careful in his planning, which allowed the rest of the building and installations to proceed without a hitch. The project was completed in a timely way and came in under budget and the room looks and functions exactly as we hoped. We so appreciate the way the whole team worked to realized our vision and for adding greatly to the enjoyment and value...
   Read moreWe were impressed with Two Storey Building the moment they came to our house to discuss our kitchen remodel project and goals. They were professional, very knowledgeable, experienced in building whole homes, and very engaged. They even organized a whole day to drive 2 hrs with us to a custom cabinet showroom and manufacturing floor so we could learn more about the process, our choices, and meet with our kitchen designer in person.
This was our first time going through a remodel, and we did a lot of research along the way. Still, we are so grateful for Doug, Camden, Mat, and Sam for making the process as stress-free and as predictable as possible. They were not only communicative and transparent with us throughout the project, but they were also respectful of our decisions and accommodating to our requests. We were able to stay very close to the initial estimated schedule.
Their choice of trade partners is also top notch! After a while, it was good to be able to just trust that the companies they work with (for the electrical work, flooring, painting, etc.) were all best in class and reliable. We are beyond thrilled with the result and are already thinking about future projects we'll want to...
