Dear Steve,

Over the years we have been very impressed by the consistent professionalism and dependability of Ragsdale.

You always adhere to the highest standards and your attention to detail and beautiful finishes speak for themselves. We could not be happier with the outcome of all of the projects that Steve Ragsdale and his group have completed for us.

Dear Steve,

My table looks amazing, seriously showroom quality. You took an old, weathering piece of furniture that I loved and made it brand new again. I would have destroyed my table in short order if left to fix it; you saved it from certain murder! Thank you so much Steve and company!

Steve,

Thank you for finishing by Thanksgiving. Very nice job on the table, we are extremely pleased with it. Family members that see it can't believe it's the same table. It will be with us for a long time. Thank you again.

Steve,

Recently your company finished painting the exterior of my house on McKinley Road. This is to let you know that the quality of the job was great. Your staff was so professional and easy to work with. The crew that worked on the house was very cooperative and neat. Having done remodeling work on my house I have come across so many trades that are incompetent, it can really be discouraging.

Also, you did some interior painting at my sister's house, the Lenzini Residence on Ashley Road, and also did a great job working around my furniture that I designed for that house.

Feel free to use me for a reference although you probably don't need anymore.

Sincerely,

Dear Steve,

Thank you so much for your excellent work in my apartment. I am thrilled. It is a joy to look at my walls, the woodwork, the trim.... Everything is beautiful, it’s art.

Thank you!!

Dear Steve,

I can't say enough good things, or tell too many people about just how splendid a job you folks did at my home.
Inside and out, top to bottom, everyone connected with this project was not only professional; they were positively artistic in their approach. So much so, that the job exceeded my expectations by a few thousand country miles.

Workmanship, service and attention to detail like this are rare these days. And I'm sure you value artisans like Sonny and Carlos as much as I do. Fact is, I find some detail to appreciate about their craftsmanship most every day.

Please feel free to use me as a reference-although I have recommended you to so many people that, if they all come though, you might consider putting me on commission. :-)

Many thanks for a job well done, it was truly a pleasure. 

With kind regards,

Larry Simon | Highland Park

Dear Steve,

The library is finally finished and it is just what I dreamed it would be. Thank you for all of your help procuring the panels and my thanks to your very professional staff who were wonderful to work with and who seemed to care as much about the project as I did.

I plan to recommend you to my clients and I am sure they will be equally pleased.

Sincerely,

Mr. Ragsdale,

Thank you very much for sending two 'nice' men over to take care of my wallpaper in our master shower area. They were very neat and I was pleased that all they had to do was wipe down the area with my bleach. I thought that was very clever and a lot easier.

Thanks again,

Sirs,

Thank you for the beautiful finish on our entertainment center. Your staff is very professional and hard working. We appreciate how quickly you completed the project. With a baby on the way, it will make life run a little more smoothly around here!
