Home Specialties

I chose Steve and his team because I have several repair and maintenance projects that need to be done on my 70's home. Replacing and adding additional gutters were the first priority, so I thought it would be a good test to see if I was pleased with their company. Highlights: --His team is polite, fast, and punctual. When they discovered some water damage, they patiently consulted both myself and their boss to share their expertise and let me regroup to decide how to procede. --Steve was patient with us, since we sanded, primed, and painted all the fascia boards ourselves...and we are slow. --Steve is good at communicating and updating. I have found this to be crucial to home improvement projects (I was my own contractor on our kitchen remodel a few years ago). Bad weather, sickness, mate

Was kept WELL INFORMED, & treated with respect, Steve represented his company well. I will use Home Specialties again in the near future (spring of 2026). My friends and family have all had positive comments on my finished Vinyl Fence; it looks FANTASTIC and also reduces traffic noise.

Beware. I am five and a half months into a project with Home Specialties that should have been done in 8+/- weeks, and it is still not done. 5+ months and counting for a 350+/- sqft detached garage that is still not fully complete is unacceptable. There was a serious lack of communication and willingness to follow through about 8 weeks in. Steve was given every opportunity to bring the project on track, but I was fed nothing but excuses, long periods of time where nothing was getting done, broken promises, conflicting accounts, and vague dates. He may have issues paying for his subcontractors. He asked me to pay his concrete sub directly after going incognito for 10 days when he promised to restart the project. I informed him that it was not going to happen and that the project was co

Steve and his team were a nightmare if only i saw the previous reviews first! He took a down payment then disappeared for a week. When i was finally able to reach him he advised we were delayed before we were even started because of another project he was finishing. He blew past every deadline he set HIMSELF or i set for him. He failed to complete some of the most simplest tasks after multiple requests during our many walk throughs. I ended up doing hours of work myself to get it to where i needed it to be due to his delays. Unexpected costs kept coming up. Work was half assed and sloppy. He never came to do the final day (or week in his time)'s work. But keeps spamming me an unpaid balance bill for money he was already paid. HORRIBLE

I highly recommend Home Specialties, LLC. Steve was super easy to work with. Patient, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He took care of everything from our first conversation to the last - including the insurance. Communication is one of the most important things when I hire a contractor, and with this project it was even more vital. I do not live in Idaho and never worried about hiring Steve without meeting him. He took care of everything for my elderly mother and her home and I never doubted that all was going well. He was on time, kept me up-to-date, and replaced the roof and gutters without incident and within the time frame promised. When I needed someone again, Steve was my first and only thought, and he took care of that project days sooner than I even expected. You won't be dis
