Hiring the right contractor is one of the most important decisions you’ll make on a kitchen, bathroom, or full home remodel. Here’s a straightforward checklist of what actually matters.

Communication and Professionalism

• Do they answer questions clearly and promptly?
• Do they show up when they say they will?
• Are they willing to put everything in a detailed written contract (scope, timeline, payment schedule, warranty)?

Experience That Matches Your Project

• How long have they been doing this specific type of work?
• Can they show completed projects similar to yours?
• Do they have solid reviews and real references you can call?

Pricing That Makes Sense

• Get written estimates that break down materials and labor.
• Be wary of vague numbers or big gaps between bids.
• Lowest price is rarely the best value — look at quality, communication, and reliability together.

Availability and Focus

• Can they realistically start and finish on a timeline that works for you?
• Are they stretched too thin with other jobs?
• Will they be reachable throughout the project?

Understanding Your Vision

• Do they listen more than they talk?
• Are they willing to offer suggestions while still respecting what you want?
• Do they pay attention to the details that matter to you?

Take your time. Ask questions. Check references. Trust your gut if something feels off.

We wanted our dated spare bathroom updated with no real direction of how we were going to do it. Mark and Ryan came in and enlightened my wife and I on a vision of a design of what the bathroom could be, and executed with full confidence. As a customer I couldn’t be happier. Good bye 1980s, Hello modern bathroom !! Will use Shelton again and is highly recommended to anyone trying to update their home!

Mark was absolutely wonderful to work with! Quality workmanship done on time. We needed some custom cabinets in our kitchen and bathroom. He had perfect solutions. He also added all new cabinet doors throughout our home. It looks so nice and updated. I highly recommend him!

Mark was great.  I wanted to add some "adult" bunks in an extra bedroom that looked like the same quality of a new build. Mark and team came out and discussed the project.  They asked a lot of questions and shared ideas from the rough draft I have envisioned.  After several calls and texts Mark felt comfortable enough to work of the project using CAD.  He said whatever we do in CAD will be exactly what is built...it was! Excellent work, great communication.  Highly recommend Shelton Custom Interiors.

I highly recommend Mark for any custom cabinet project. He is reliable, easy to work with, has straightforward and fair pricing and is super talented.  He built custom cabinets for our kitchen, including a gorgeous custom island. The quality of his work is perfection.

Mark was absolutely amazing to work with.  He was very professional in quoting the job, the bespoke design, and executing the installment.  I highly recommend Shelton Custom Interiors for any specialized or custom work.  They are awesome at what they do.

Shelton Custom Interiors produced impressive results on several of my home-improvement projects (master shower, fireplace, and outdoor chimney). You can trust their fair-prices and quality of workmanship.

Mark does amazing work!  He is great at what he does, and has ideas and suggestions that I never thought of, and I felt I had really planned things out.  He is punctual, clean, and will get the job done right the very first time.  I highly recommend him!
