For context, our project was a full gut renovation of an old home that sat abandoned for 10+ years. Think leaking ceilings, no functional systems, and a crumbling foundation. Rob & Laura were the driving force for the final 4 months of our home's transformation from "very broken" to beautiful and livable. They were supportive of our project in the months leading up, and have continued to stay in touch since they wrapped up. Their to do list included structural changes, door and window swaps, drywall, trim, and full kitchen and bath installs. That's not to mention a massive list of surprise to do's that crop up with any old home renovation. From their first visit, Rob's cool confidence in their ability to bring our home to life never waned. This was a labor of love on our part. Rob & Laura understood and embraced that. They were happy to hear our vision, and translate it into an executable plan. They rocked every detail from necessities like drywall to custom touches like recreating the original curved ceilings and installing handmade tile from floor to ceiling in the primary bathroom. Communication was easy throughout. I was the primary coordinator of other contractors (electric, plumbing etc). We had zero issues with any overlap. Rob & Laura were always flexible, and easy to work with. I also have immense gratitude for their openness to my participation in the process. This is by no means required, but my partner and I strove to jump in wherever we could. This let us reduce the cost on our end, and learn a few things along the way including how to tape drywall and install tile. If you can get on Rob & Laura's calendar, don't hesitate!

Addendum to my previous review of JRC Remodeling and the response to my initial comments by…read moreco-owner Barbara Roth. It is true that the water damage and mold remediation was not a part of the original contract; after all it could only be discovered during the demo phase of the work. When advised of the problem I agreed to pay - and did pay - an additional amount to remove and replace the moldy insulation and take other steps to kill the mold (i.e., bleach spray). The workers apparently did the remediation but forgot to put new insulation before closing up the wall and installing new counters, making the only way to fill the now hollow wall from the exterior which is a more complicated and expensive procedure. Joe Roth agreed to do this work - which was necessary only because of JRC's screw up - but despite repeated promises kept putting it off month after month for many months and well into cold weather. He finally told me that he wasn't going to do it after all and would not take my phone calls because, in his words, he thought I would yell at him. I suspect that he realized that his workers screw up was going to be costly to fix and that he wasn't about to bear the cost. He never asked me to pay for the remediation, which existed solely due to their mistake. I did bring in another contractor in December 2023 and had to bear a substantial cost for adding insulation. Mistakes happen but failure to take responsibility is a reason for avoiding using this firm.
