Report
We hired Pryor to renovate two bathrooms, one kitchen and duplex the top unit of our 110-year-old two flat into the attic. As soon as demolition started in the basement, we discovered 11 broken joists - there was no way we could build on top of that. Thank goodness we were working with Pryor, because while we hoped to save some area from being redone, we ended needing a complete gut rehab. They were clear and transparent with the information and costs involved with every decision we needed to make.
And sensing we were overwhelmed (which we were), they guided us on everything from cabinets to countertops, from tile to trim, from plumbing fixtures to light fixtures -- and maintained the historical charm of our "new" home. We were very fortunate to be working with Pryor and we would highly recommend them to anyone, especially for challenging work on an older home.
