Testimonials

We love our deck and the quality of your work — others have been telling us how great everything looks and that we need to get it in a magazine. I would be more than happy..... to serve as a reference in the future — Jenny too.

Thank you so much for everything. We appreciate you, all of your work and your help in bailing us out on getting the bathroom done in time for the Hillary Clinton event. (Which I acknowledged in my speech.)

Colette is one of the first contractors that I recommend to my clients when I am asked to recommend a contractor. Colette really listens to their needs and executes them flawlessly. I know that when Colette is on the job, she will treat your house as a home. If you use her once, she will be your contractor for life.

In 2005, we were in need of an unusual remodel job at our home in San Carlos. Colette Cummins was referred to us by a good friend because of her imagination and proven ability to turn and unattractive space into a nice place to live.

When we purchased our tiny house, the garage had been split in half to make a room. There was a "hole" with some plywood and hooks. It was ugly. We asked Colette to make the room into an office. She immediately understood our concept and was able to give input and suggestions to crystallize our ideas.

Throughout the project, Colette was consistent, reliable and proficient. She was versatile and capable, fixing everything from the cabinets to the window. She kept all her appointments, and she stuck with the project until it was finished. She took care of everything from purchase of materials to design. She was conscientious of our costs, taking the time to find the best deals. She constantly consulted with us about our preferences regarding details. She was flexible when we had to postpone the project, and she returned immediately when we were able to restart again. She did exactly what we asked in exactly the time and costs she quoted, and her prices were quite reasonable.

Not only did Colette deliver what she promised, but she used her creative construction skills to make a beautiful and quality space from which I now write this letter. To complete the built-in desk she had to work with an area that in places was as hard as cement. She converted our "hole" into a solid piece of furniture. She made it look like the space was created for the desk, not visa versa. Our "half garage" is now an attractive, sturdy and highly functional room which I enjoy each day.

I am confident that Colette's work has added considerable value to our house. I grateful that we "found" her. I would gladly ask her to return for future projects. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone. Please feel free to contact me directly should you like to discuss details further.

Colette was the general contractor for the remodel of my kitchen, bathroom, and living room. All of the work turned out beautifully; everyone who visits my home is amazed at the transformation. Colette's crew and subcontractors were professional and well qualified. All of the work was completed when promised and Colette was always willing to ensure the work was done to my satisfaction. Her attention to detail is outstanding and I was extremely pleased with the finished product.

It was a pleasure to work with Colette Cummins of Cummins Contruction. As a business person she is well organized, professional, fair-minded, and honest. She was far better than most contractors finishing her work on schedule, and very conscientious about completing the final punch list The quality of her work was excellent. She also has a lot more common sense and good taste then many others I have worked with in the building trades.
