Josh provided a very reasonable estimate of the job and kept me informed throughout the bathroom remodels. His crew showed up on time, cleaned up each day and were very nice. Quality work! I love my custom walk in shower. Thank you!

Josh helped me with a project that ended up scoping a little higher in work than originally expecting. Throughout the project, communication was clear, and work was done well. I had no doubt that my house was in good hands. When I have work again, I will definitely consider 8 Inch Nails again!
