– Holly Quinn

Tomas Salinas was a pleasure to work with. He was professional in all aspects of his management of our new home construction, including but not limited to: immediate response times, recommending highly valuable improvements based on his past experience and working within our budget to provide the best possible result. Tomas leads his crew in a hands-on-manner to ensure the attention to detail that is clearly recognizable as you view his work. At every stage of the process, he kept the cleanest worksite we have ever seen! 

– Ed & Chris Evans

Tomas was really easy to work with (even if we were not) on our kitchen remodel. He was very professional every step of the way, providing service far beyond our expectations. The result is beautiful work, which is very functional. Thank you for making our hectic lives easier!

– Chad and Morguine

You were always available by cell. The crew wore Heartwood T-shirts. Always here at 8:00am and visit with us at the end of the day about questions or concerns. Change orders equaled no surprise about money owed.

– Nan & Jake Jacolick

I really appreciate your thoughtful incorporation of client suggestions – Avanti!
