The job was done in what I feel was a speedy time frame. Also it was exactly what I wanted. The work was neat, and the tub was left in a very clean state.
Tuffgirl did an excellent job. I will contact them the next time I need something done.
TESTIMONIALS
I was a little weary of having work done on my home. I needed to find someone I could trust and be comfortable with, being a single woman and all. I met Alon through a mutual friend and felt immediately comfortable. She showed up on time every morning and took her time with everything. I've had experiences in past where a mess would be left for me to clean up at the end of the day. Alon would stop 30 min before quitting time and made sure all her tools were put away, and even dusted and swept my floor. I wanted a wall cut down between two rooms so that the floor plan would flow better..I explained to her what i needed, she offered suggestions and and within 3 days it was done. And it was more than I could have hoped for.I took a week off from work for this to be done so needless to say I had a glorious 2 days of just me time. Alon is friendly, courteous, and if anything else comes up in my home TuffGirl Builders will be my first choice.

I really love the work TuffGirl Builders did for my personalized Nativity Scene. Four years ago, I wanted a nativity scene which did not look like every other store bought Christmas item. TuffGirl Builders took a small picture of a nativity scene that I really liked and built out a large scene. The colors match our house perfectly. The image and artistry is very original and unique. Most importantly, it had lasted four winters through rain, snow, wind, and cold while maintaining its structural integrity. I can not wait for TuffGirl Builders to add new elements (shepherds, wise men, sheep, and angels) to our nativity scene this fall.

I use Tuff Girls for all my woodworking needs. Tuff Girls has rebuilted broken chair frames, cut new chair seats and built wooden shelves. In a tight fit, small kitchen remodel, Tuff Girl Builders made custom cabinet to increase counter space. Also to come on that same remodel is a custom built pantry retrofit and an old dresser to island conversion! The work and material used is top grade. I especially appreciate the recyling/repurposing/reusing of serviceable materials which decreases our landfills burden.

Tuff Girl Builders subcontracted me for a paint job. I found them fair, friendly and professional. The job was as proposed and I was paid timely. Not to mention, I was as wowed by Tuff Girls Builder kitchen floor tile installation job as the clients themselves!
