I got to know Stan (the owner of Miros Renovations LLC) quite well over the past 6 months. We hired him to finish our attic--i.e., to transform the unfinished space into a bathroom, two bedrooms with walk-in closets, and custom storage spaces. Stan was personally on-site with his men for the bulk of the project. He has many qualities that make him the perfect general contractor, but I want to focus on five: reliability, communication, perfectionism, diplomacy, and accountability.
1) Reliability: Stan does what he says he's going to do, when he says he's going to do it. Whenever something unexpected came up that would prevent him (e.g., worker illness or inspector no-show), Stan would call me to let me know.
2) Communication: Stan is very easy to talk to--his questions are direct and his answers are always clear and unambiguous. Whenever I call him or send him a text message, I can always reach him immediately or within 15 minutes.
3) Perfectionism: Stan does a great job and expects the same from his workers and subcontractors. He's willing to redo something he did if he doesn't like how it turned out.
4) Diplomacy: Stan is very polite with government inspectors and seemed to have a knack for bringing out the best in them.
5) Accountability: Stan holds his workers and subcontractors accountable for their work.
Stan did a great job for us and minimized our stress given the qualities I described above. We love our finished attic and couldn't be any happier with how everything turned out. If I needed to do another big home project, I would only work with Miros Renovations.
