The summer of 2015 I hired "Nicely Done Kitchens" to do a remodel/update of my kitchen, the adjoining office space, and the butler’s pantry. Fortunately for me, they contracted with Hank Pittman of "Additions & More" to do the installation. The result is nothing short of amazing. I wanted to make my large “builder grade” 1999 kitchen much more updated, functional and as well as beautiful. I also wanted to do a 2nd project to finish a large odd space in my basement for a home gym, utilizing some of the old kitchen cabinets/counters, which I hired Additions & More to do.
Hank Pittman, owner of "Additions & More", (AdditionsAndMore.com), and his wife Deena were wonderful to work with on both projects. All emails/communications were always answered promptly.
Hank and his assistant Joey, did the work installing my new kitchen; electrical, cabinetry, etc. They demoed my old kitchen carefully; removing cabinets, countertops, double ovens, etc. A few of the cabinets were reused in the newly created basement exercise room, and Hank and Deena arranged for the donation to Habitat for the remainder of the items. The Butler's Pantry was enlarged to the maximum size for its location. The doorway was enlarged from the kitchen to family room. Because the kitchen cabinets I chose go all the way up to the ceiling, the cabinet trim installation was tricky. The trim installation was done to absolute perfection as was the interior and under lighting installation of the cabinets. The new gas stove vent was taken out through the garage ceiling without a hitch. I have so much more space with my new kitchen cabinets with roll out drawers. Due to the increase in the size my butler’s pantry, it is so much more useful now, and it is so beautiful!
In the basement home gym project, Hank Pittman, ("Additions and More"), did every aspect of the project, from planning through execution. I was given an estimate which included everything. The final cost was as estimated, and extremely reasonable.
The projects took a couple months total, but it was so easy having them here. They are just nice people. Hank Pittman and his assistant Joey are honest, dependable and smart craftsmen. They were always neat and respectful of my home. They were very professional, courteous and skillful. But most importantly, they always made absolutely sure that everything was done exactly as it should be done. The work they did was all high quality. Hank is a perfectionist. He always made sure to ask me, not guess, what I might want regarding various issues, i.e. where to place the cabinet handles, pendant lights, color of the light bulbs (warm or cool), etc. He had suggestions, but let me decide.
Because our basement had many issues, we'd put off doing this home gym for 8 years. Our basement ceiling had many heights with support beams, etc. Hank came up with a good plan for dealing with that as well as good ideas to hide the well equipment, pump, water softener, HVAC, etc. He relocated doorways, installed some sliding doors, installed some double doors. It turned out great!
I left town as soon as they finished both projects in December, and just recently returned from Florida. I was stunned again by how beautiful my new kitchen is and how nice my new home gym is! It is a pleasure to use my gym now. I will certainly call "Additions and More" when I need more work done. Thank you Hank!
