Lewis Reif and his team have done a superb job on a large project. We completely changed all of the flooring (including a walk-in), 90% of the three bathrooms, a couple of walls and all of the window sills. We added a really attractive counter in the dining area, a built-in safe, some wine storage and a new water heater. In spite of the three bedrooms, our condo can be characterized as down-sizing from the house we had been in. We had envisioned several ways to increase total storage space and Lewis made these work really well. He maximized cabinet space and his team created custom shelving in several closets that is both attractive and functional. Working with Lewis we found a counter top that we find ideal for the entire condo – the kitchen, the bathrooms, the dining area, an accent at the entry and the entry thresholds. The bedrooms are carpeted and the master bathroom has a tile floor coordinated with the shower and cabinets, but with those exceptions the entire condo – including the balconies – has the same striking tile floor, an extraordinary effect. The detailed niche work in the bathrooms and showers is a real pleasure to look at. The backsplash and other custom items in the kitchen get super reviews from everyone who sees them. Lewis organized the installation of extensive wiring for the condo, both TV cables and data cables. We are now saturated with high speed Internet, and where all this comes out of the wall to the computer, the wiring is all hidden by an elegant custom made cabinet designed by Lewis himself. We got excellent advice from Lewis on balancing scope with cost. He always had good advice on color combinations. And in those very rare instances where the two of us had markedly divergent opinions, he always facilitated a civilized solution. We certainly admired the team -especially Bob Rivera, who apparently can make anything work, along with Pablo and Marc, who consistently worked with remarkable craftsmanship. It has been an excellent experience.
