Project: Room Addition, Kitchen & Family Room
When we started this project, we had only the vague idea that we wanted a larger kitchen and better flow for entertaining in the downstairs living area, and additional upstairs space for exercise and work. From this list of "wants" and through our meetings with you, you came to understand our lifestyle, our needs and how we really used our home. You were then able to conceive and put on paper a plan that not only included all of our desired elements, but did so in such a way as to maintain the character of our home.

Please allow me to recommend The Buckingham Group for renovation of your home. I am actually a second generation Buckingham client and have lived with their quality and creativity for approximately twenty years. The Buckingham Group remodeled my childhood home, the subsequent empty-nest condo of my parents (and almost immediately had to retrofit it for two grandchildren), and recently completed a thorough remodel of my home.

Project: Master Suite Addition
I cannot say enough about your staff, from the ladies in the office who set up appointments, to the field personnel, everyone conducts themselves in a very professional and courteous manner. Our project manager was always available and showed great concern for our project and the fact that our home was intruded upon. He kept the work area clean and at the end of the day made it as presentable as possible. All of your employees are an asset to the Buckingham Group.

Project: Second Level Bedroom & Bathroom Addition
The addition which you added to my residence has been a pleasure to the entire family. It was my intention to write earlier, but being a great procrastinator, I always put things off until tomorrow. Just a short note to express how pleased and satisfied I am with the work done. You stayed within your promised time period, and maintained a work area that was clean and presentable for us to live in. Your subcontractors and company employees were a pleasure to deal with.

Project: Whole House Remodel & Room Addition
From the early planning stage through final execution and completion of the project, you, your employees and subcontractors truly transformed our vague vision into a beautiful and functional home. We are very pleased with not only the end product, but the process that got us to this point. We believe it speaks well of you and your company, we would assuredly use you again for any future remodel project.

You are a fabulous designer and very thorough in every detail. Going through a whole house is quite an undertaking, but with your efficiency and very capable crew, we now have a most comfortable home for both us and to entertain our friends.

Mr. Kaplan has an eye for the smallest detail and is very helpful in suggesting ideas that improve the look and structural integrity of each project. Ed provided the plans and contracting work for remodeling projects on our living room, two bathrooms, and an addition, as well as several other projects. We would highly recommend Ed Kaplan and The Buckingham Group.

Once again you have proven that although repair and remodeling are an inconvenience to the owner, the results make it all worth while. We appreciate the thoroughness and dispatch with which you accomplished our most recent endeavor. From my years of experience in manufacturing operations, I particularly am impressed with your planning and execution that enables the job to go "as scheduled".
- Charles Cheek
Project: Kitchen, Bathroom & Room Addition
Your attention to planning detail and knowledge of the practical do's and don'ts during a remodel made our construction experience predictable and dare I say even fun at times. Your years of experience and knowledge of how the process flows made it easier for us to understand the construction process during each phase. Finally, and most importantly, your compassion for our feelings during the entire process and calm and sensible approach to the real life difficulties of trying to remodel a home and live a normal life were the most important contributions to our project.
- Marc & Beth Delametter
Project: Basement Remodel
Thank you for a job well done on our basement remodeling. It is such an attractive and comfortable living space! You delivered quality contractors and employees. What could have been a nightmare for us was, all in all, a pleasant experience. We congratulate you on delivering as promised.

Project: Bathroom Remodel
In the 41 years that Marilyn and I have lived in our home, we have commissioned and lived through four major remodel/renovations projects and numerous inside/outside paint and "spruced up" projects. The recent bathroom remodel that The Buckingham Group just completed was the most professional and pleasant of all our projects.
- Phil & Marilyn Keeter

We were very impressed with your ability and skill at getting everything accomplished, and we also appreciated how accessible you were and your thoughtfulness in always returning our phone calls. It is nice to have someone that listens to you.

Perhaps Heatwave Supply has a unique perspective with respect to The Buckingham Group in that not only have you provided a service for us, but we have had the opportunity to be of service to you as a supplier over the years. The professional way with which you deal with problems and the manner that your account is handled with us allow me to say that you truly stand above the crowd of would-be contractors and remodelers.

One of the major assets of The Buckingham Group is Ed Kaplan. My husband and I have actually joked that if we were to divorce we would have to list Ed as a marital asset and fight over him. In all seriousness, rarely have I met an individual whose wealth of knowledge, integrity and high standards equal that of Ed Kaplan. He raises the bar for his profession.

Once again you succeeded in the remodel of our new home on Louisville in a way that exemplifies your professionalism. As you know this is the third home you have remodeled for us and we would not think of using anyone other than Buckingham. Your professionalism, the work ethics of Buckingham employees both in the office and field, and the quality of your subcontractors is exceptional.
- Danny & Susie Kahan
Project: Master Bathroom & Closet Addition
Dan and I can't begin to adequately express our pleasure with the results in the remodeling of our master bedroom closet, and addition of a new master bathroom. You met and exceeded any expectation that we may have had. As you know, Dan and I did not have a good concept for how to accomplish the task at hand, only an idea of what we wanted. With the information you designed a very beautiful and functional area. Your professionalism and high standards, were reflected through out the entire project, and was very apparent in the respect that you have with all of the subcontracted people. You are very highly regarded, and everyone praised the work done by the Buckingham Group.

Project: Attic Space Conversion to Master Suite
During the past several years, I have become acquainted with Mr. Ed Kaplan on both a professional and personal basis. Our association began during my search or a contractor to remodel a home that I had acquired. Of the contractors who submitted bids, the Buckingham Group bid was the most comprehensive in the detailed scope of work to be performed, design detail, proposed materials of supply, and proposed terms and conditions; in all, a professional package. The professionalism exhibited initially continued throughout the duration of the project.
- Bill Scott
Project: Kitchen Remodel
We can't begin to adequately express our pleasure in the results of our contractual relationship with the Buckingham Group. Thanks to your design ability, Ed, our "dream" kitchen is more than we thought to be possible in the existing space. Bravo! Your professionalism and high standards, reflected throughout the stages of our remodel, was also evident in the respect awarded you by the numerous subcontractors involved. This remodel being the third in our home over a period of 16 years, there is absolutely no comparison – the work performed by the Buckingham Group greatly exceeded our expectations and softened the often harsh remodeling experience.
- Mark & Nancy Lobo
Project: Whole House Remodel
As impressed as we were with the design of the remodel, we were equally impressed with the execution on the plan by all of your employees and subcontractors. The care and consideration your employees showed throughout the construction in not only their workmanship, but also in small details such as cleaning up the job site every night, allowed us to live through the remodel with far less disruption given the scope and scale of the project than we ever imagined. Though our older home threw us a few surprises along the way, you, your employees and subcontractors adapted, performed quality work and produced an end product we will be proud of for many years to come.

From the design stage, to daily supervision of the project, to post project corrections, was superb. His work team was both cordial and efficient. The initial drawings were done time specific. Where modifications were required at our request, they were done within the context described. The project came in specifically at the cost level negotiated and agreed to. They attempted to minimize the inconvenience to the homeowner by cleaning up each day. The final product met and/or exceeded our expectations in nearly every category.

Project: Game Room & Breakfast Room Addition
The Buckingham Group employees are skilled professionals who take pride in a job well done, as can be seen in the beautiful execution of our game room and breakfast nook. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail are unparalleled. The addition fits in so well with the original design of the house that it doesn't look like an "add-on". In fact we feel that the design and flow of our house has been greatly improved by the new addition. We will enjoy our lovely new rooms for years to come, and we highly recommend Ed Kaplan and The Buckingham Group without reservation.

Project: Master Bathroom Renovation
Both Dana and I wanted to write this letter to express our sincere thanks for the fantastic job you did for us in the design and building of our new master bathroom. What started as a poorly functional eyesore has now become a beautiful centerpiece of our home. You began with an innovative and clever design utilizing our available space and then were very helpful in suggesting and acquiring the most attractive and functional fixtures. Everyone of the members of you work crew was efficient, friendly, skilled and concerned about keeping our house as clean as possible throughout the construction period. We were impressed by the work schedule you outlined at the beginning of the project and your efforts to always adhere to it and complete things in a timely fashion.

I'm more than a week late, but nevertheless, want to congratulate you on your appearance and the excellent article in the Tulsa World on The Buckingham Group. Jean and I recognized many of your design-build talents during the addition of the room to our home and later, the arbor over the patio. We have enjoyed both very much and don't hesitate to recommend you to our friends.

Ed Kaplan provided us with some outstanding ideas that made the quality of the living areas much better and have added significant value to our home. We were very pleased with the professionalism of the employees as well as the subcontractors selected by Ed to perform the work. They were punctual, worked hard, and left the work areas orderly and as neat as possible.

Finally, I will let you in on the one drawback to using The Buckingham Group for your renovation. You will be so happy with the outcome that you will begin planning your next remodeling project before the finishing touches are completed on your current project. Working with The Buckingham Group is addictive.

I want to take the opportunity to thank you in writing, both for the service you provided and for the quality of work that went into the renovation of my kitchen. Your expertise and assistance in helping me decide on particular design details and features produced exactly the kitchen I wanted. Your project manager and personnel who worked on the job were courteous and always available to answer my questions and move the subcontractors along to meet my completion deadline. I look forward to the bathroom renovation.
