This review will never do justice to the Dave Richards Home Improvement Co. We were quite hesitant…read moreto even start such a large construction project in our home. We had never had this level of work done within our home. Ashley (Project Manager) and Dave were the 2nd company to submit a bid on our basement remodel (thanks to Angi's List). They came in with very impressive ideas and were extremely transparent with cost figures from the get-go. Meeting Ashely and Dave felt like meeting long lost members of our family. We had a rare comfort level with them right away. The demo of the basement started right on schedule. The team that worked on our basement were comprised of diligent, respectful professionals that kept us updated at all times. Mikey, Tom, Flavio and Pedro (and wife) did exceptional work. We have received many compliments on the quality of their work. From demo, drywall stage, painting, all of the electrical work that Mikey orchestrated like a conductor of a symphony, to the final touches once carpeting and granite were installed - we could not be more impressed with their hard work. We do want to add - that Mikey can do ANTYTHING!!! His talent knows no end. The crew discovered an issue that required immediate resolution after the demo stage and Dave and Ashely worked quickly to determine the depth of the issue and remedy promptly and fully disclosed all costs of the additional work. Not only did they make the big parts of the remodel progress in a smooth manner, but they also think of all the little details that may not pop into your mind during a remodel. Ashley was on top of every minute detail. She noticed the little things that should be addressed for the room to be cohesive. Ashely is a wonderful communicator - always providing updates on next steps, when to expect the next work crew, assisted us with purchasing appliances for the bar area, etc. She thinks of everything. She is an exceptional project manager. She is very supportive and encouraging to her team - everyone that worked in our home was polite, thoughtful and determined to include us and our wishes on each step of the remodel. The job was finished promptly when promised. The most impressive quality of this wonderful team is that nothing was ever "completed" without being done meticulously and looking perfect. There are never any short cuts - it was top notch professionalism the entire project. We would never consider seeking construction work with any other company. We have some plans for a next project - and we will be reaching out to Dave and Ashley and their amazing team - no doubt!!!!

Of the various contractors that I have used for projects around our home, Dave Richards Home…read moreImprovement is the supplier we are most comfortable endorsing to our friends and family. We had gotten multiple quotations to have our basement finished, and their quotation was competitive versus the field. However, what I think makes this team stand out versus others: 1) Speed: The team works quickly to get the job done with minimal days on site, basically working as long as it was convenient for us. We have a young daughter, so having the crews end work so she could sleep was huge for us and they were always respectful of our home and time. While we ran into a few snags with materials, Bruce communicated with us throughout the process and ensured we got what we needed. 2) Flexibility: When we asked to make some adjustments throughout the build process as we saw the framing or other items go in, they were able to accommodate them and actually worked with us to ensure we were happy with the result. Flabio, the framer, came out a follow up time to change some of the soffits for us, not because he had done anything wrong the first time, but because we preferred the look of framing out our soffits slightly differently after looking at them for some time. While I am sure they do not want everyone constantly changing the scope of the job, I truly felt they wanted us to be happy with the basement and did not force us to continue with an initial plan just because it was what was written at the very beginning. While other suppliers may have had more elaborate drawn up plans, the flexibility Dave Richards afforded was actually more valuable to me as the ability to make adjustments when we saw how things actually looked in our basement was helpful. No plan on paper can substitute this and Dave Richards did not throw change orders at us even if we asked for some small adjustments. 3) Transparency: They did not nickel and dime us after their quotation was done. We also had the ability to provide our own fixtures if we wanted. Alternately, they passed through their discounts on fixtures (e.g., toilets, vanity, shower) from Lowes directly to us. I would guess other companies would charge retail prices and keep that margin for themselves. Any incremental costs we paid above the first quotation were from an explicit request we made (i.e., asked to replace some standard doors with glass doors) and we were provided with a quotation prior to any invoices. 4) Clean: Their team always brings drop cloths to protect the rest of our home when working and maintains good communication with us throughout the day. They also cleaned out materials and even when leaving the worksite day to day, vacuumed and organized tools and materials for the following day. Mike, one of their team leads, even saw a small paint drop on our main floor (where they were not working) and offered to help us get it off. 5) Integrity: Based on the points above, we just feel that Dave Richards Home Improvement is the type of company and team with whom we want to do business. Hardworking, capable, and respectful teams that just want you to be happy with your project and done at a fair price. As a fairly sizeable project for us in terms of scope and spend, we were happy to do it with a company that worked with us to ensure we realized our vision for our basement and was not looking to get every dollar out of us that they could. Bottom line, Dave Richards and his teams are just good people and the type we love having in our home. We will definitely be calling Bruce at Dave Richards Home Improvement anytime we have a home project and would recommend them to others for any of your home improvement needs. A special Thank You to Bruce, Mike, and Flabio for their hard work and professionalism throughout the project.

They redid our entire kitchen along with other projects throughout the home such as new bathroom tile (and previous to the current project, did an amazing job on installing new LVP flooring). Phil is incredibly knowledgeable, always does things the proper way, and takes pride in his team's and his own work. They showed great compassion for personal issues that required rapid changes in scheduling, and also were open to cost-saving measures even if it meant less money for them. I know Phil had our best interests at heart, which is incredibly rare across contractors I have had. He's not only an expert in his craft, he's also a true and good person. I have asked questions/requested projects on many things like engineering openings in walls, rerouting washer/dryer hookups, installing new doors, refinishing stairs, all things related to a brand new kitchen, trim work, flooring, to name a few. I have verified and backed up his advice with other experts, as well. They do amazing work, have great 'new' ideas for work beyond the scope, and do it in a timely manner. I couldn't recommend Phil and his team more.

We love our new kitchen! Jianshen's team was recommended by a friend and when he arrived to talk…read morethrough options we immediately felt like we were in great hands compared to the others we had talked to. He was patient and explained all of our options in detail to help us make the best decision, rather than guessing what we want. This helped us to find the right balance of value, saving money, and spending more on customizations only where we needed it. Everything moved quickly once we started and they stayed very close to the predicted schedule. Sometimes our house had unwanted surprises for them, and they were able to re-route pipes and electrical or modify the cabinet sizing on-site to make everything work in our space. When they made mistakes they were quick to take responsibility and fix it before proceeding. We've heard so many other horror stories from friends doing remodeling and we were lucky to find Cai Cabinetry. Jianshen takes ownership for his team's work and will personally fix anything until you think it's perfect. If he doesn't know how, he finds someone who does. Watch our before & after video below to see the results! P.S. They have a new showroom near downtown now, which is easier to get to for a meeting and looking at options.

Jianshen and team have earned 10+ stars for their work! We worked with Cai to remodel the kitchen…read morein our 100-year-old house. From start to finish, Jianshen and team exceeded our expectations. First, we received multiple 3D renderings reflecting possible configurations. Then we were able to go back and forth with the team to customize as needed. Our space is a bit weird (uneven walls and floors, small space, awkward location of pipes and windows). This project required incredible attention to detail, and Jianshen and team delivered it, visiting our house multiple times to make sure the measurements were right. When it came time for installation, his team was highly skilled and able to make on-the-spot customizations with us to make everything fit perfectly and exactly how we had wanted it. I think what I really want to convey here is not only the fact that the work was done at the highest level of quality and attention to detail, but it was also a pleasure to work with Jianshen and team. Jianshen has a positive, can-do attitude. If you have a unique idea, you can bring it to him and he will likely find a way (and also give you all the details on what the solution will entail). For example, we wanted to restore our 1890s butler pantry - he figured out how to restore some of the original fittings so that the 125+ year old things work like new. We had done a lot of research and consulted multiple experts on this - only Jianshen figured out how to make it work! Jianshen is also incredibly knowledgeable about renovations in general, and we have asked his advice on multiple things beyond cabinets. He is very responsive in communication and hard working. It's hard to find a contractor like that. We would definitely work with him again, and would recommend him to anyone in the area looking to do some remodeling.

I ignorantly left a misguided positive review for Don's Home Improvement five months ago. Don…read moreBellehumeur had installed a pre hung exterior door that I purchased from Menards. During the installation, he bragged about how door installation was his forte. When he left, I thought all was well and he asked me to leave a review. A few months later I had a football game party and a couple of guys noted the extremely shoddy workmanship of the installation of the door. I felt really duped by Don Bellehumeur. One of the guys even found where he screwed up and instead of correcting it, he went ahead and proceeded to deceive me. I contacted Menards because that is where I purchased the door and that is where I was given Don's contact information. Menards asked for photos of the poorly installed door and they then met with Don to see if they could come up with some sort of resolution. The Menards store manager then contacted me and told me Don refused to do the right thing and re install the door. To Menards credit, they did tell me they will never do business with "Don's Home Improvement" again and will never recommend him to another customer. I now have to have the door reinstalled all at my expense. In the meantime and until the weather improves, I have a door through which you can see daylight and on which the deadbolt is not properly aligned, raising safety concerns. Run, don't walk, away fron this guy. He's got a real line of bull. And to all those females out there and not so handy men, beware of these types of contractors who will take advantage of anyone that doesn't know the difference between a reputable contractor and a shyster like Don Bellehumeur. "Don's Home Improvement" he's not!

I would like to start off by saying, all-in-all, I was happy with the work that was done. I would definitely use them again if I needed similar services needed in the future, or anything else they provide work on. Really, the only downside was the amount of time, from initial contact to when the actual work was completed took longer than expected. There was mentioned a personal emergency, which I understand, and that they didn't want to schedule too many jobs in advance in case something runs over or a contractor is unexpectedly unavailable. But my initial contact took place on 10/24 and a contract wasn't sent over for me to review and return until 11/4, then I wasn't contacted to schedule an appointment until 11/20. So, while I would have liked to been kept in contact more, I am glad to say I was very happy with the work done. I would probably recommend calling the company, rather than using the website/email; that might provide a quicker turnaround. I just hate calling folks, so I avoid it when possible! Now on to the actual work. The contractor arrived on time, and looked professional. He was also courteous and didn't mind my cats, which is a bonus since they tend to be super nosy with visitors. He arrived around the ETA I was given, and was quick to ask what all I needed done. I showed him the three items we needed help with, and he said he would be able to get it all done. He got to work right away. I ended up needing to leave for work a little after he arrived, but my husband said he was great the entire time I was gone too. It wasn't until a few hours later that I came home to inspect everything. The toilet no longer constantly runs, my caulking job looks perfect, and I have a nice new showerhead instead of what was left over from the previous owners! The initial contact went a little slow, but I am very happy with the overall results, thus my rating. The hourly rate was a little higher than I expected, but I knew it ahead of time. I'm just glad he got done quickly; they definitely don't mess around or try to pad their timesheet, and for that I am grateful. I definitely recommend Punch Out Plus, LLC.
