Native Sons Review

Native Sons is hands down the best remodeling company you can go with!!! They did a complete kitchen renovation, topped off with opening the wall into our living room with French doors!!!
Adam and Josh are awesome!! They were always on time, possess great communication skills, very professional, polite, friendly, courteous, patient and very time efficient!!! Adam is on a mission to complete his job. He has a goal set every day as to what will be completed that day....and meets it!!!
I cannot praise them enough!!! Adam, Josh, Mark and Joe are an awesome team!!! In the future, Native Sons will be our only choice to go with our renovation projects!!!

An excellent company to work with for your kitchen/bath needs! We renovated 2 bathrooms with them back in May 2016. Joe was amazing do deal with and helped us work out a plan within or budget and stick with it! Mark was our PM and very professional and dedicated to making sure everything got done RIGHT! Adam V was our installer and who we saw every day for those weeks doing the renovation. Josh also helped and was great. Adam went above and beyond our expectations as to what to expect during the remodel process. He was on-time, had a plan, did amazing work, and was extremely kind. I felt comfortable enough after 2 days on the job to give him the key to the house and continue working while we were out of town! I deal with contractors every day in my profession and they usually fall short on expectations and final product...not with Native Sons Inc! I will continue to recommend them to family/friends/clients. We LOVE our new bathrooms and cannot thank you enough!

Josh and Andrew of Native Sons, Inc. did a superb job of transforming the hideous old kitchen in our 1910 home into a thing of beauty. Not only did they remove the old plaster walls, the tin ceiling, and the old floor with care and precision but they completely rebuilt the entire kitchen with energy efficient insulation, marvelous new lighting, a new window and more. From the gleaming new hardwood floors to the beautiful cabinets to the tiling, everything was done professionally and with care. It was a pleasure to have them in our home for the duration of the project. Judy and Steve from Annapolis.

Native Sons did an excellent job on my kitchen and bathroom! My kitchen used to have a wall separating the kitchen from the dining room, but Native Sons removed the wall and put in a beautiful island breakfast bar. The kitchen is much more open now! They also installed new appliances, cabinets, and replaced the flooring.

For the bathroom, they replaced my old tub with a walk-in shower. My bathroom also has a new vanity mirror, toilet, and new flooring as well.

I live in the Towson area and would highly recommend Native Sons to anyone looking to remodel their kitchen or bathroom in Baltimore County!

Absolutely a professional job from start to finish! It was like 'they were not even here' the entire visit, apart from the new parking pad they installed. I noticed another post about high pricing. Since it was just a parking pad, and I really did not have anything else to judge by, low price was the main reason I selected Native Sons. I priced out 6 other contractors and they came in the lowest. If you watch the video, you will see that the work they did. I don't even think a 'high priced' contractor can do a great job like this.

I cannot say enough good things about this company! From beginning to end they were on time, professional, informative and sensitive to every concern that I had. We had several issues beyond Native Sons control and they handled them extremely professionally and with sensitivity. The owner and his staff were very attentive and available whenever needed. I could go on and on but will simply say that they are a company that I would trust to do any work in my home and we hired them again after the kitchen install for some extensive plumbing work. Again a great job.

Rob and Lou were friendly, on spot and did a great job on our kitchen project.

I am incredibly pleased with the way Native Sons handled my kitchen remodel job. I contracted with them through Home Depot and Joe, Mark, and Renee were fantastic in correcting errors made by Home Depot and communicating with me about my project (Home Depot was not.) For any future projects, I will contract directly with Native Sons. The install team, Josh and Andrew were fantastic!! They kept everything very clean and were considerate and careful of our furnishings, floors, etc. When problems arose, they were terrific at thinking outside the box and listening to my concerns. The quality of their work, their punctuality, and their speed were above expectations. I am thrilled with the results!

After an accidental flood in our kitchen, we had to completely remodel the kitchen. Native Sons did a fantastic job with helping change the floor plan, quick on installation and a keen attention to detail after installation. Thanks you so much!!!!!

Louie and Joshua M did an amazing job installing our new kitchen cabinets. They were hard workers and focused on every detail. I was consulted about how I where I wanted the handles to be placed. Given our previous cabinets did not have handles I had no idea. But Louie was great and offered his expertise, showing me serval options for the many different drawers and cabinets. It made the decision easier as I was able to visually see it before making a decision. I didn t feel rushed. Louie told me he wanted it to be exactly want I wanted for my dream kitchen. He and Joshua moveed to on, while I decided, it was great! The handles were on and looked great! Then the island that my husband had specially designed was fitted together and set in place according to the blueprint. Louie and Joshua M asked me to come take a look and it was like OH NO! I didn t know what to do as everything was custom made and I didn t want to lose all of the cabinetry. I called my husband, he was on speaker, we all had a conference call, and scratched our heads. The best response was when Louie and Joshua M. said NO PROBLEM, (after moving it several times to see what might work) that they would be back tomorrow and we could finalize the island then. Really!? They kept emphasizing they wanted me to be happy with MY KITCHEN. It wasn t a job, it was about ME! WOW! Give them a raise! The next morning, Louie arrived, and we had decided where to move the island so everything could open with room to spare. Louie was great! He went to work, completed securing the island and the rest of the cabinets. Louie took the time to educate me on what cleaner to use on my new cabinets, how to use the crayons if the cabinets got scratched, about the round bumpers, etc. Louie made sure that I was completely happy and satisfied with my new kitchen. He was incredible and dedicated to his profession. It was an absolute pleasure to have worked with him. The entire process was smooth and easy because of these 2 amazing employees who took pride in their work, were very professional, and always put the customer first. I would highly recommend using Native Sons, Inc. and requesting that Louie and Joshua M. be the contractors who come and work in your home. You will not regret it and at the end of the day you will be BLOWN AWAY at your NEW KITCHEN! Thank you Louie and Joshua M. we cannot express how much we appreciated you and the quality of your work! Amy & Alex E.

I'd highly recommend Native & Sons for anyone looking to remodel my kitchen or bathroom. They exceeded my expectations as communication was top notch which is extremely important to me as I'm a business owner myself. Their employees were friendly, punctual and trustworthy and I'd definitely use them again for any future remodeling jobs. In addition, the owner is hands on and was kind enough to take my call at 8pm to answer a quick question I had about a breaker issue which I was so appreciative of!

Native Sons did a full kitchen remodel last summer with new cabinets, electrical outlets, lighting, countertops, and backsplash.I love my new kitchen! It d so bright and shiny especially with the backsplash that I selected! The guy did a great job with piecing the backsplash. I would definitely work with them again!

I contracted Native Sons through Home Depot and the quality and service was outstanding. From the first consultation with Buck who completely understood my needs to the installer team of Robb and Lou who did a fantastic job, I would recommend this team to anyone else doing a kitchen or bath renovation. A special thanks to Robb and Lou, who were incredibly respectful of my home and were a pleasure to chat with throughout.

Great company! Everyone who works there is highly professional and good with people.

Native Sons was a great company to work with! I had a leak from an upstairs bathroom that required I do a complete kitchen renovation due to complications from mold.
The communication from every department at Native Sons was excellent, from the minute the project began, through all phases of the renovation. They kept me apprised of every detail along the way.
While I worked with quite a few folks, I recall Renee sending me daily emails with updates of the project. And Dave spent the most time on site. He was the absolute best! He was punctual, professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable....not to mention he does amazing work!
When I'm ready to do my next renovation, I will absolutely use Native Sons.
I highly recommend them!

What a great experience. Dave, my installer, was very professional and friendly. Was on time if not early every day. He explained what was happening and let me know if there were any problems. He cleaned up every day after he was finished. He did a fantastic job installing the cabinets and can't tell you all the great comments I have received. I would gladly recommend them to anyone who would ask.

I cannot recommend Native Sons highly enough. We used them for a kitchen remodel including removal of an interior wall. Communication from the office was wonderful and Renee was very responsive to our inquiries. Our project manager, Kevin, was available whenever we had a question and was frequently on site. Josh and Andrew did wonderful work and were able to resolve several complicated requests with ease. Our older home had a few surprises in store and they handled them expertly. When a county inspection scheduling issue delayed the project and threatened to leave us without a functional kitchen for Christmas, this team showed up on their scheduled day off - ON CHRISTMAS EVE - to connect our sink, dishwasher, and stove; even making a special trip to Home Depot for some necessary parts. It was the best gift we could have received. Our new kitchen is gorgeous & we get compliments on it whenever someone visits. We will definitely be using them again and we trust them completely with our home. (And our pets - our dogs will miss their company until the next project!)

We were very happy with the work that we received from Native Sons, especially Adam. It was so nice to have work done by someone very trust worthy, professional and very knowledgeable with everything. Adam would listen to what we wanted and accommodated everything. To find someone dependable and helped to fix problems that occurred and made sure we were happy with the outcome.

Our experience with Native Son's was amazing! We can't speak highly enough about them. Josh and Josh were both courteous and extremely knowledgeable about their jobs and what they were to do. They did everything including the electrical, plumbing and moving our gas line for the range! When they came in each morning, they asked if we had any questions. Of course we did! And they had answers! They were as professional as a contractor could be. And for having them take out a wall, now you can barely tell one was even there at all!
My brand new kitchen by Native Son's looks so amazing, it should be in a magazine!
I also have to mention their awesome office manager Renee, who is always pleasant to speak wirh and of course Mark, the project manager.
We would absolutely recommend them in a heartbeat to do any room in your home!
Thank you so much for an amazing experience!

Our construction experience with Native Sons with Rob as the lead site construction worker was absolutely superb!!!! Rob and his assistant David worked efficiently, quickly, and cleanly. Demo of all our old cabinets and two islands was done in one day. It really helped that Rob had licenses for construction, plumbing and electrical. Instead of waiting and having teams of licensed personnel work on site, Rob basically did everything himself which made the work go quickly.

As with any construction project we had delays but it was not Native Sons' fault. Some cabinets arrived broken and had to be made again (one critical cabinet part broke twice in two shipments). A special order stove fan arrived damaged and had to be reordered. Native Sons was very accommodating in working with us as our schedule had to be revised several times.

LESSONS LEARNED

1. When going through Home Depot remodeling services, Native Sons is hired to be responsible for just the construction details. They DO NOT act as a general contractor for the whole project.
2. We were responsible for coordinating with the granite company to select and reserve granite slabs.
3. We were responsible for coordinating with the granite installation company to ensure the scheduling was done
4. We were responsible for ordering all electrical appliances and devices such as fans, disposal units, stoves, refrigerator, etc. and making sure they got to the house
5. We were responsible for communicating between Home Depot, the granite quarry company, the granite installation company and Native Sons to ensure everyone knew the schedule of events of the construction project.
6. With the original price quoted for Native Sons construction we made the assumption that it would include general contractor responsibilities.

SUMMARY

Overall if we had to do this over again or start a new remodeling project, we would hire Native Sons in a heartbeat and not think twice about it (as long as we got Rob back!!) What is most important is that the job get done correctly because we will live with it for decades. Native Sons (Rob) got every part of the job done right on a project that was complicated.

We recently purchased a property that lacked a bathroom on the lowest (basement) level. After interviewing several companies and their proposals we selected Native Sons. Even though their proposal was not the least expensive, it was the most thorough. We were very impressed by the professionalism, knowledge and competence of the project designer. We felt that the bathroom would become a valuable asset to the property and that, when completed, it would pass any home owner inspection for being compliant to Ann Arundel County Building Code.

The project engineer and manager was equally professional. He and his crew treated our property with respect and care. Native Sons provided additional specific professionals (i.e., electrical, plumbing and general engineering) as needed. They worked hard to complete the project under a time constraint that we imposed upon them.

We are extremely proud of our new bathroom. We have no hesitation in recommending Native Sons to prospective customers. We had high expectations of them prior to the project and they delivered!!

Excellent work Josh and Andrew!
We just finished remodeling our 2.5 bathrooms yesterday. We hired Native Sons through Home Depot and they did a fantastic job. Josh and Andrew are a great team. They are the best team I have known remodeling parts of our house. They work quiet and are friendly and respectful. They are very talented young men that worked with me every day to make sure I was happy with every step of the way. They answered all my questions, left my place clean, arrive on time,..., they truly put the customer first.
I highly recommend them and the Company Native Sons for any Bathroom remodeling job, big or small.

I love this company! The staff, the craftsmanship, the service. Really awesome.

Thank you Native Sons for the excellent work you did on our kitchen remodel. Your crew was professional and efficient as well as knowledgeable in plumbing, electric, lighting, and installing cabinets and assembling a multi faceted hood fan. The quality of the work far exceeded our expectations. To top it off they were trustworthy! It is not easy letting strangers into your home. Rob could solve and fix problems that the builder and another contractor ignored. He removed the previous cabinets in perfect condition and we were able to donate them to Habitat for Humanity. There might be cheaper companies out there, but really is it worth the time and headaches it takes to correct mistakes and miscommunication. Native Sons always called or sent the project manager, Mark, out to see how to solve an issue. All our friends are amazed at how much bigger our kitchen looks, although we kept the same floor plan.

Native Sons did a great job on the design and construction of my new master bathroom and closet. They completely gutted the entire area and created a new functional bathroom layout and walk-in closet, including new plumbing, vents, and electrical work. They made the process very smooth and kept me informed of the progress along the way. The entire team was friendly and professional and my bathroom turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend this company!

Native Sons just completed a kitchen renovation for me and the results were great. Renee, Office Manager, kept me informed throughout the process and managed the scheduling exceptionally well. The installation team, Robb and Lewis, were outstanding. They were precise in their work, perfect with the alignment of the cabinets, finished the drywall to a very smooth, paint-ready surface (I am doing the painting) and cleaned up everything better than expected. I could not have asked for a better team as their attention to detail made all the difference when I compare their work to that of other contractors I have used. At each step in the process where I had to make a decision, they both provided me with the pros and cons of my decision, and then followed my requests exactly. I recommend their services and would not hesitate to have them back for my next revision.

Native Sons did an amazing job on my kitchen remodel! Josh and Andrew were knowledgeable, respectful, professional, tidy, timely, and experts in all aspects of the job! They installed a complicated down draft stove, lights, fans, cabinets, outlets, and special fitted items. Because of their experience and extensive knowledge in remodeling they were able to alleviate much of my stress by making good decisions regarding placement of recessed lighting, length of pendants, handle/knob locations etc. They made this remodel a breeze. THANK YOU!

They were always there when they said they would be, and completed the work when they said they would. The owner is a working owner, and visited the job in the morning most days to give his crew direction. One of the great things about Native Sons is that their people hold all of the trades..electrical, plumbing, etc., eliminating the need for subcontractors. What few issues there were were handled promptly. Not the least expensive you will find, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

My wife and I are very happy with our new kitchen installed by Native Sons. The install team were very talented craftsmen and overall the project was a pleasant experience. Would not hesitate to recommend them or to have them perform new work in our home.

Our experience was great from start to finish. During our initial conversation, our NativeSons project coordinator, Mark Avara, suggested that if we did the demo ourselves, we could save money. I knew I made the right choice when our contractors were being conscientious about our budget. Mark was always available to answer our desperate questions during the DIY demo. He also was great at explaining the timeline of construction events. I appreciated his prompt responses to calls and/or emails.
Our installers, Rob and Dave, were fantastic. They were professional and polite, but also were so good-natured and pleasant to talk! Each day, Rob explained what they would be working on and then showed me the work at the end of the day. They coordinated times with us that allowed us to paint the room over a weekend before the cabinet installation occurred. They always came when they were scheduled. The level of communication was superb; we always knew what was happening and when. Finally, each day, they left the work area unbelievably clean and neat.
I am having some trouble coming up with adequate superlatives to express how much we appreciated the professionalism and work ethic that were evident in every stage of this renovation project. I love my kitchen-the reality of it exceeded my dream of it, which does not often occur! As I told Rob and Dave, the only thing that would make it more perfect was to include a cook whose skills were worthy of it. Alas, that was not part of our contract.
In closing, I thank all of the team who created such a beautiful kitchen for my family. I commend all of you for the value that is placed on customer satisfaction by providing excellent workmanship combined with consistent communication.
