We have worked with Jeff Nott on two home improvement projects (separate homes). In both cases, he has been delightful to work with and always met our expectations. He has a good stable of vendors that are professional and easy to work with. On our most recent project, the start date was delayed due to Covid-19. However, once things opened up, he gave it a full-court press. This project involved upgrading two bathrooms with miscellaneous improvements and came in on budget. Jeff has a wonderful and calming demeanor. We definitely would contract with him again and strongly recommend him for consideration for your small to large home improvement projects.
Tom was the architect on my job. His structural abilities helps him to develop a design that will not only be beautiful but structurally sound.Jeff (his son) was our general contractor on this and one previous job. He does excellent work and is very conscientious about aesthetics. His subs are excellent--quite a few of them are in-house. He completed the work in a timely manner. We are loving the results!!
Jeff is caring and kind. Extremely fair unlike other contractors. The work turned out better than expected. He was always available. He even sent back his workers to help me with small projects. I trust Jeff. Nice to work with the father and son team of Jeff and Tom. I highly recommend them.
My family and I have used Jeff Nott and his team for a few projects between two houses in South Pasadena, one very large complete remodel and a couple smaller ones (bathroom remodel and several indoor touch-ups). We have been very pleased with the results of their work. The team members have been with him for many years, and are trustworthy craftsmen and artisans. They will certainly not provide the lowest bid, but the workmanship is impeccable and the price was fair. Jeff was always available by phone or email, and checked in regularly on all the projects.The complete remodel presented a number of unique and difficult logistical issues, and Jeff was patient and helpful throughout the process. The designs were beautiful and carefully considered, and the work took a reasonable amount of time given the special circumstances.Permits were shockingly quick and painless (especially givean the citys notoriously slow and obtrusive board). We would definitely use his team again for any significant future work.
Incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Did a great job on my house remodel.
It has been around 3 years since our remodel w/ Tom and Jeff. We actually used them both separately before they became packaged together as a design/build team. We did an entire 2nd story (and no, dont try to live in the remodel no matter what anyone says).When we started the planning process, I went to the City of South Pas to review my houses prior permits; while there I asked the permit guy- so.... who are the most popular architects in town? Whose work reliably passes the citys review board? I got the short list from the guy and interviewed every single one, including a few who actually sit on the board. Tom was able to design within our budget (at the time we hadnt committed to any contractor, and he had his son Jeff come look over our plans so we could have a remodel that would work within our budget). After hearing horror stories from friends/neighbors, we went to the review meeting ready to plead our case, and literally, they smiled at Tom, listened to his summary, nodded, and we were done. That was totally worth paying forWe vetted several contractors for the actual build, we chose Jeff because of the timeliness of his estimate, the actual estimate (we liked that the payments were broken down and attached to completion of specific items), and his willingness to hold our hands as new remodelers (we asked a lot of questions throughout the process, and he always answered my lengthy emails quite thoroughly). The 2 questions everyone wants to know- yes, we stayed on budget, and no, the 6 month estimated remodel actually took 9 months. However, based on our friends experiences, a 3 month delay for something a finished product Im completely happy was totally fine.During the remodel- Jeffs crew were all super nice. My son was 3years old at the time, in his Bob the Builder phase, and the crew were so nice about showing him things, and letting him hammer away... He had a blast. (He still remembers Pablo!) Unexpected things came up- as they usually do in an almost 100yr old house- and... Jeff stuck to the contract. No markups. He stuck with every single agreement we ever made, no last minute upcharges. Whether it was something big like 100-yr old electrical wiring not being up to code, or us being unable to decide on the right shade of gray paint, Jeff stuck with the costs he promised us. Jeff knows the craftsman look perfectly, so I trusted him on many things that turned out great. There were other things where I had a very specific vision of what I wanted, and I detailed those out very clearly to him. He was able to execute everything that I specifically wanted. As we were finishing up, he hired his designer Clara, who was wonderful to work with and would have been nice if we had been unsure of design ideas. We did choose certain vendors ourselves- tile, fixtures, lights, etc to keep down costs, and Jeff was willing to work with us on that.Now that the remodel has been over for a few years, I can say, Jeff was right when he told us- with a good remodel you only cry once... Once we moved in, there were no unattended details, everything was complete. Since then, everything has remained in excellent condition. Whenever Ive had a house-related question, I feel comfortable asking Jeff, and he always answers.The remodeling process is inherently expensive and exhausting. We love our house and we appreciate the excellent quality work Jeff completed.
