Often in the world of remodeling, finding a contractor that you would use again seems as difficult as finding true love, but in the case of Fit Build, not only would we use them again, they were recommended by some friends who plan to use them for more work. In the past I’ve had contractors that I’m just ready to write a final check to, say “get out of my life, it’s not you, it’s me,” and never see again. Make a break-up mixtape (Fleetwood Mac–”Little Lies”). Get over it. Not the case here.Jared and the crew at Fit managed to get our 1967 home’s still mostly 1967 bathroom updated with a fantastic new walk-in shower converted from the cast iron tub, and everything else, in 3.5 weeks. The shower rework involved a premium tiling job and fixture placement that makes it our favorite thing about the bathroom. Even so, the rest of the tile floor, repair and replacement of sheetrock, trim outs, and other detail work were well executed and done to my specifications. The work looks even better than the scale drawing I created to plan out the changes.I also think this is the first time a contractor has used the brand of paint (Benjamin Moore) I wanted upon request, rather than having me go to buy it–a small but important detail when you have a particular color palette in mind and are picky about such things.Jared does a great job of juggling the details and scheduling, and he’s also great with communication when you reach out to him. I would recommend early communication about what fixtures, tiles, products, etc. you need to obtain so the work can run smoothly. While we didn’t use them, they do have an in-house design team that can help with the process, but I came in with a fairly detailed vision. Everyone was great about coming up with solutions for anything that came up between plans and installation, which is how the shower came out even better with a great niche and a nice curb to wall feature that allowed more of my favorite tile (the smaller mosaic) to be showcased.They do a great job integrating Schluter trim/edging across the board for a uniform look and superior water resistance, and nobody griped about the epoxy grout that I wanted and provided. It is more expensive and can be a pain to install and clean up, but even there things went well and the white epoxy grout will be much easier to keep clean and will control moisture superbly.We had a new puppy in the mix, and our cat, but all the workers were careful about keeping doors shut and cleaning up at the end of the day. The puppy was unhappy that he couldn’t “help” and the cat was grumpy about anyone else in his house, so he stayed under the couch, but they made it through well, and I appreciate the contractors’ awareness.I found the pricing to be competitive, and Jared worked with us on changes as needed, reworking figures depending on how some discoveries went. Even so, the final amount wound up on target.I’ll call on them again for projects in the future, and, as finding remodelers goes, I would say there’s no greater recommendation than wanting to stay in the relationship. Cue “Seven Wonders” on the mixtape.
