I originally contacted Gary for a quote to add cellulose insulation to my attic. He was professional, didn't assume anything and performed a physical inspection. He was also very informative and offered a good deal of suggestions for other things (in addition to the insulation) that I could do myself to help reduce the cost of heating my home.
He won the job. He and his help were professional, courteous, and did a terrific job cleaning up after themselves.
My wife and I are now considering adding insulation to the north and west walls of our house as well as to all of the walls on our back room. Needless to say, Gary is now our first choice of insulation contractors.

Frank Pirello has already done a full kitchen and home remodel for me, and we are about to have him start on a new kitchen in our present home. He is as local as one can get, with children in the GP Schools and a home that I guarantee you have driven past many times on a street within walking distance to the Village. This accessibility has been very important in Frank's ability to be on top of his projects. He has always been there for follow ups, and I guarantee that you may well end up considering him a friend as well as an excellent remodeling contractor. He's a trustworthy, creative, and hardworking guy. Have no fear, he's a good one.

We first heard of the Kearns Brothers from the Detroit News columnist Glen Haege, who raved about the Michigan-made windows available from this company. We were very pleased with the first set of "Restoration Series by Sunrise" windows that their installers Bob and John Beveridge put in for us a year ago. Last month (Nov. 2010) we had them back to replace seven more old windows, completing our entire first floor. These are not the cheapest windows you will find out there, but are very fairly priced for the quality, which is absolutely over-the-top. Our 1960 home has never been this comfortable before, and I attribute it to the Sunrise windows and expert installation. Bob and John (they're brothers) were impeccably neat and clean and even built a platform to protect our hostas outside one of the windows during installation. This is a first-class family-owned business, and I would not hesitate to check with them for any kind of home improvement, especially for windows.

Pete Casinelli has been my "go-to" contractor for 10 years. His most notable job was a total kitchen renovation that gave me the resources of a large kitchen in a small space and he had great ideas for the finishing details. He is extremely conscientious and closely monitors his employees and subcontractors.
