I Have contracted Sticks and Stones to complete a few projects for me in the last few years. Ie. 1100 sq ft of hardwood, Custom designed Mission style mantel and panelling throughout the Family room and hallways.
I have no complaints with them and will/am using them for upcoming projects. Ie. Backyard Patio, windows and (POSSIBLY) ;) a complete kitchen reno in the later half of 2009.
