I met with three others besides Felipe, and he stood out by far. He's a great guy--honest and…read moretransparent--never trying to sell me more than I needed. In fact, he even recommended cost-effective options. I ended up waterproofing the entire perimeter of the basement, with Alex managing the project. The team was friendly, hardworking, and respectful of the property. They not only cleaned up after themselves but actually left the basement cleaner than they found it, going above and beyond. Throughout the process, they were communicative and easy to work with. As I told Felipe before he left today, "I hope I never need to see you again, but if I ever have a basement issue, you'll be the only one I call or recommend."

After receiving two quotes on dry-proofing our crawl space (one pricey, the other a fortune), Joe…read morefrom All Dry came out and evaluated our crawl space, with a very honest opinion that was significantly less costly. We really appreciate that he did not try to upsell us and gave us the facts. Thank you!

Called Strictly Chimneys and spoke to Mike about turning up and cleaning a gas fireplace system for…read morea house I recently moved into. Though he specializes in wood fireplaces and would not be able to assist with my request at this time, he spent quite some time on the phone with me answering the many questions I had about my fireplace, and how I might be able to get it up to snuff. So rare to find a professional who is willing to give such detailed advice with no monetary gain for himself, and it was very obvious that he really knew what he was talking about. I may change my fireplace to a wood burner at a future date, and if I do, I will absolutely give this man my business. My gut tells me that anyone else wouldn't regret doing the same. I recommend Strictly Chimneys for sure!

Mike and his crew are professional and customer friendly. Pricing is very reasonable too. I hired them afterwards to complete the recommended chimney work: rebuilding 10 rows of brick, plus I added a chimney cap. I feel very pleased with their services. They only repair what is necessary and Mike always answers or returns calls promptly. Highly recommend!

As a first time home owner with a fixer-upper getting professional help is intimidating, both for…read morethe cost and worry that the job will be done right and on time. My first project with Mr. Ralph was to finish up a DIY project I started and did not have the skills or time to finish. The work was extremely affordable, quick, and done well. I have an old house with many poorly done home renovations by the previous owners, he has dealt with them professionally and patiently. I have since used him for 4 other projects, most recently an extensive bathroom renovation. I am eager to learn skills that will help me do projects better myself and he has been a great teacher, not only in prioritizing projects based on what is important, but also in the materials and techniques. Projects do tend to go a little past the quoted time frame but it is because he cares about the details and doesn't hurry over the unexpected issues that pop up with old homes. He treats us like family and will probably end up re-doing every room here. If you want a rush job without quality or are overbearing I would pass on hiring him. We couldn't be happier with his work and professionalism!

Please do your research. Mr. Ralph Home Improvement is NOT a licensed home improvement/kitchen…read morerenovation contractor. Although, I asked on our initial conversation and he confirmed that he was licensed. After seeing the pictures of a new kitchen and reading the excellent reviews posted on yelp I contacted Mr. Ralph. He first gave me a labor cost of to renovate my kitchen for $3,000. After a few days he text me dropping his price to $2,700. He said he understood my situation & was willing to help me out. Few days later he went to my home, measured, sent me a shopping list of the items I needed. I ordered them through Lowes. Had them delivered bc his truck didn't have room/space for all the materials. While waiting on the new cabinets he demoed the old kitchen cabinets, painted the ceiling, walls and trim. This is where things began to go south: After noticing the old wall were the original cabinets were not painted, I asked him why not paint the old walls? He was resistant bc the new cabinets where going to be installed and no one would see it. He later gave in & began painting the old yellow walls. He charged $500 for the paint job + I purchased the paint. The quality I was promised was NOT what I or my real estate agent was seeing. The purpose of this project was to renovate my old kitchen so I can list the house for sale. After telling Mr. Ralph I was not happy on how large the gap between the refrigerator and top cabinet is I asked if perhaps the cabinet can be switched to a bigger/more functional size. At first he told me the gap can be covered if I placed something on top of refrigerator. I said ok. I thought perhaps a sign or basket would do the work. A few days later my realtor goes in, sees the cabinets and was also not pleased. She's sold properties for many yrs and is able to tell something is wrong right away. She called me up- bc I'm out of state- sent me more pics and strongly encouraged me to get the right cabinets for this area. After reaching out to Mr. Ralph he became belligerent, said I was micromanaging him and should trust the process. Mr. Ralph then texted me to let me know he was packing up & leaving. He demanded the rest of the $ owed which I had paid 1/2 of what he was charging me up front. Told me the job he was doing cost a lot more than $2,700 yet that was the cost he gave me. He told me if I did not paying him the rest of the $ owed he would not return. I asked him: would you pay for a job you are not happy with? A job that hasn't been completed? No, I didn't pay him & thankfully did not return. I failed to do my research for project. As a first time home owner who moved out of state & needs to sell the home. I trusted someone who told me on many occasions he was professional, experienced and meticulous at his craft. For this I'm paying the price. Please do not make the same mistake. Do not take a contractor's word no matter how nice they seem. No matter how many times they tell you they understand and want to help you. Ask to see proof- which I was never provided. All I received was an invoice for the renovation of kitchen cabinets and painting of my kitchen. I'm glad I listened to my realtor. In less than 24 hours of Mr. Ralph walking out of this project a new certified/experienced/recommended contractor stepped in. He wasn't shocked of the quality/service I received. Unfortunately, he's had to step in to fix jobs like the one I was left with. The new contractor confirmed: All the cabinets and counter top that were initially ordered were measured incorrectly & ALL the materials which were order needed to be returned w/ the exception of the ones already installed- bc those can't be refunded since they've been drilled in. I've lost $ & a lot of time. My home was suppose to be listed already. I lost $1,600: $1,350 ($2,700) was given as a deposit + $250 ($500) for kitchen paint job. I now have to pay extra to get the job done correctly- so basically I got what I paid for . Lesson learned. Do YOUR RESEARCH. No proof of licenses, no contract, no drawings, etc no business/$.
