    "We were extremely pleased and satisfied with our recent kitchen remodel by Jeff Speck and Jade Enterprises.We were referred to Jade by a coworker who praised Jade’s rescue of his remodel.  Born skeptics, we wondered if Jade’s price would be out of reach.  Their estimate was detailed and thorough.  We met the subcontractors; and both they and Jade explained each step and each estimate to us.  After the first few weeks of the remodel we realized what a bargain Jade Enterprises was. Our foreman Doug was knowledgeable and approachable.  He was always available and answered our questions immediately.  Doug made sure the various subcontractors were on schedule and the work they did was top-notch.  When I asked one subcontractor why they all seemed to know each other, he replied, “Jade Enterprises hires the contractors we go to ourselves when we want work done on our own houses.”  We were given a selection of businesses that Jade had worked with in the past.  Staff at each business were courteous, professional, and spent the time necessary for us to feel comfortable with our selections. When a couple of unexpected problems were found during the remodel, Jade brought the issues to our attention and made sure we had the complete perspective.  Jade made sure the job was done right, rather than hope we wouldn’t notice problems until later. I will attest, Jade Enterprises did the job right and we couldn’t be happier with our new kitchen.  We offer our recommendation for Jade’s work without reservation and would choose to work with them should we pursue any other remodel. ~John &"
