If you want a contractor who knows everything about kitchen design, who will listen carefully and do his best to help you achieve your vision, someone who communicates, is forthright about pricing from the word go, and has the integrity to do exactly what he says he will do, you want Brian Thelan at BTI Construction. From first meeting to final check, working with him was a wonderful experience. He is a consummate professional, an all around nice man, he uses suppliers who are a pleasure to work with, and he hires quality subcontractors.We had some rather different choices for materials, but he was so helpful researching everything and making sure he was comfortable with the results they would produce.My kitchen went from sad to smashing in a very short time with a complete gut to the studs job. My custom cabinets are gorgeous! My Italian glass backsplash is stunning and my soapstone countertops are my new favorite thing in the world. We cook from scratch, all the time, and we had serious hardware and gourmet gadgets coming out of our ears. This new kitchen houses everything and looks like I paid a million bucks for it. The lighting is stellar, the storage drawers and pantries are endless, and I love my underlighting and the uplighting on top of the cabinets. Weve been entertaining and cooking like mad and the ease of workflow is just amazing. We couldnt be more pleased or grateful. Thank you Brian, you rock!
