Kozub Remoldes LLC I highly recommend William Kozub. He spackled the sheet rock in a new bathroom and painted .He fixed 3 ceilings where drywall tape was separated and painted them. He was meticulous in his work and did a great job. He arrived on time each day and covered all the furniture and rugs before beginning work on a room. He covered each room with plastic and also the doorway so that dust didn’t escape. He cleaned up when he finished each room. He was concerned that I was satisfied and worked to make the job look great.

We wanted to add an additional room to a part of our house. William did a great job making what was essentially an attic into a room we could use. Highly recommend Kozub Remodels for any of your remodeling needs!
