I was about to hire Phillip, but then he terminated our relationship. Why? because he insisted on discussing politics and we clearly do not agree. I make it a policy to not ever discuss politics in business dealings, but he continued bringing it up. When I awkwardly told him that I wasn't comfortable with this, he promptly sent an email saying he couldn't work with me and my wife.

I wish they would have just called me back! I called and gave a person all my contact information and details on the job. I was told that my job was the type they do and then was not contacted. I called a week later to see if they decided to do my project or if they already had enough jobs at the moment, all of my information was collected again and a month later I haven't heard from the company!
I'm not going to beg you to take my money. Moving on to find another contractor!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mike F.Atlanta, GA511732Mar 25, 2017
Tried to engage them for a bid for a kitchen remodel, but was told by Mr. Trapkin their minimum was $10,000.00 without even trying to set up an appointment. Wish he would have come down to see my kitchen. My remodel was over $15,000.00. Must be nice to have that much work.

So happy we with worked with Philip to remodel both of our bathrooms. He and his team were amazing - easy to work with, approachable, and trustworthy. They did a great job, on time and within budget. We are very happy with the outcome!

We hired Sterling Works to complete the renovation aspect of our kitchen. They did exactly what we asked and were very accommodating from start to finish. They understood our budget and were willing to exclude scope that we could do ourselves (ie, painting, backsplash, etc). They were always at the house when they said they'd be and completed the project when they said they would be done. And, to echo what others wrote, Sterling Works' price is very good, especially for the level of service you will receive.

I hired Sterling Works for a remodel of my master closet, which included a little work to the master bath and bedroom as well. Philip was very easy to work with in planning it all out, patient when I am sure I was a pain, and the work they did was outstanding.
We miscommunicated on when the project would be done and it took two days longer than I thought it would, but it was soooo worth it.
Also- i should mention that they charged much less than a lot of the other bids I received. Very fair, honest, and easy to work with. I would hire them again in heartbeat.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jason M.Woodstock, GA3884Apr 16, 2015
Philip and I worked together on a project for a very detail oriented customer. He was the general contractor doing a large amount of interior and exterior remodeling as well as correcting the damage from areas we had to restore. He specializes in the highest quality of work, his employees and subcontractors are artisans, producing invisible joints in stain grade trim and custom built in cabinets, and exterior features that could be in a Southern Living article. If you are looking for a quality contractor, choose Philip and Sterling Works

I had a similar experience with previous reviewers. I called to get an estimate for a potential project and did not receive a return phone call. After waiting a week, I left another voicemail. I finally received an email indicating my project did not meet their minimum bid. This was without actually seeing the potential project or even talking to me by phone.

We hired Sterling Works to completely gut our old kitchen and refinish the original hardwood floors in our 1920's home. We could not be more thrilled at the end result. Philip and Tim truly listened to what I wanted in my kitchen and wow, did they deliver. We work out of our home so someone was here most of the time. Everyone on Philips team was so conscientious and the work is meticulous. Working with Philip was a pleasure and he made keeping track of the $ easy. We are planning to use Sterling Works again for the next project.

Excellent value for money - we would not have been able to afford this renovation with another company and we ended up with a great finished product that we are very happy with! Renovation was finished somewhat close to on time and on budget and Philip was very considerate about the financial strains caused by the overages.
