What reviewers think

Most reviewers praise Ernest and his crew for professionalism, timely work, and reasonable pricing. However, a meaningful minority report serious problems: incomplete work, delays stretching months beyond schedule, water damage from poor installation, and unresponsive follow-up when issues emerge post-completion.

The gap between five-star and one-star reviews suggests inconsistency in execution or accountability. Kitchen and bathroom work appear to carry higher risk; recent five-star reviews focus on professionalism, but the most detailed complaints involve bathroom installations (shower wall failure) and kitchen quality (cabinet doors, hinges, corners).

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Best for: Homeowners seeking straightforward kitchen or flooring work with a contractor responsive to design input.
Think twice if: Check references on bathroom and kitchen cabinet installs; warranty follow-up has been reported as slow or absent on complex work.

Strengths

  • Responsive and punctual on initial projects
  • Owner Ernest known for listening and design input
  • Fair pricing reported by satisfied customers
  • Crew professionalism and cleanup attention

Worth knowing

  • Owner Ernest Kinsey is the primary contact; reviewers note his presence and involvement in design
  • Crew noted for sweeping and steam-mopping work areas at end of day
  • Walk-in shower installation with accessibility focus resulted in long-term water damage and mold issues with no follow-up response
  • Kitchen cabinet installations cited as poor quality (doors, hinges, corner cabinet fit)
  • Project timelines have ranged from on-time completion to 7+ months overdue

Limited direct evidence; owner noted as collaborative on design input but execution consistency unclear from reviews.

Questions people ask

Does Ernest handle design ideas or just installation?
Yes; reviewers specifically praise Ernest for listening to design input and offering suggestions to improve projects. One reviewer called him "your guy" for artsy and eclectic designs.
What happens if something goes wrong after the job is done?
This is a weak point. One detailed review describes a shower wall failure within two years and repeated failed promises to return for repairs or caulking work.
Are projects usually completed on schedule?
Most recent reviews report timely completion. However, older reviews cite significant delays: one 3-month project took over 7 months, and another required additional follow-up visits to fix issues.
