He extended our fencing; installed an interior wall; installed drywall and insulation; and also handled adding trim, painting, and installing TVs in the new room. This was our first major project as homeowners, and Mark was very helpful and communicative throughout the process. He did excellent work, and asked excellent questions about what we wanted. He was efficient and thorough, and completed all of the steps of the process well within the time frame we expected. We were very happy with the quality of work performed and would gladly hire Mark again for our next home project.

Once we found her, we could move forward without hesitation. Juliet Walker is a skilled designer, has taste, and understands color in a sophisticated way. She has Vision and follows it. She is serious and committed to her work. She has skills: organizing, planning & coordinating. She understands team play and is an experienced project manager. She knows how to communicate, with everyone. She listened to us and really understood us. She chose an excellent team of experienced subcontractors for HVAC, plumbing and electrical work. She monitored the contractor and subcontractors and ensured that her vision was manifested, with quality and precision. She demonstrated it all. . She chose (with our approval) the flooring, cabinetry & hardware, sinks & faucets, tile, lighting, paint colors, and many other small decisions. We really appreciate her. Big Wow! We did not have the problems and aggravation like the stories I have heard about from other homeowners. I plan to use Juliet Walker for other projects at my house in 2026. Now, we appreciate all of the design and implementation input from Juliet on a daily basis. Her ideas worked out beautifully. We have real gratitude. A picture is worth a thousand words and a video is worth a thousand pictures! Like the pictures?

Took a bunch of photos, promised to return with "her contractor" and never heard from her again…read more About a year later, the contractor we hired suggested we visit her showroom to get prices on tile, appliances, etc. She wasn't in the showroom for our app't; her assistant said that she was "held up on another job". The assistant didn't have a clue about what was in the show room, but wanted to make copies of the sketches and lists we brought with us, which we refused. When we got home, I went on line and saw that Marni was busy hanging out with her friends elsewhere and couldn't be bothered to show up for her app't with us. We hired another company, needless to say.

Unfortunately, I cannot write a positive review about Riemer's work and behaviors. Overall, the…read moreexperience working with them could be worthy of a show named "renovation from hell". I hired Dan Riemer for a medium size project that included: creating a laundry room, adding a bathroom, removing a cumbersome circular staircase to create a comfortable stairwell as well as demolishing an old deck to build a new one. Dan took the project pledging that it would take 2-3 months and committing to have 2 working teams on the project. It went well for the initial 2 months, while demolition and hard construction just started. After this, it just became a nightmare. They did not show up for weeks at a time and construction got delayed beyond imagination. False promises were made over and over about the work being completed, but nothing got accomplished. After 6 months and hard construction not being completed on a single item of the project, I decided to terminate this madness. Obviously, I requested to get some money back for the work that was paid and not executed - They are now just ignoring any attempt to communicate, and I have not seen a single $ back. The construction is of mediocre quality as attested by the photos attached to this review. I highly recommend you staying away from Riemer construction and would be happy to give details to anyone seeking more information on this review.

I was unaware of the terrible review that someone left him because my experience with him was outstanding. He did a 3 acre fence as well as two patios, pathways, stone foundation, Concrete floor, outside, concrete enclosure, and many other things. I have only nice things to say about him. His price was very good and the value was amazing for what I spent. He was always here and he let me know if he wasn't going to be here, but he was basically here the entire time unless it was raining. He even did a roof that was ready to collapse and worked in the rain. My experience with Dan and his 2 sons is really really good and I would highly recommend him.

UPDATED: After my…read moreoriginal review, Josh contacted me directly, came out to inspect the driveway, and addressed the cracking concerns by filling the cracks and taking the time to explain his perspective regarding the seal coating materials that had been used by another company. While I was initially frustrated by the communication and felt my concerns were being dismissed, I do appreciate that he ultimately responded, came out personally, and worked toward a solution rather than ignoring the issue entirely. He also offered a reasonable option to repair the plow damage at the road and reseal the driveway. I still believe the initial communication could have been handled better from the beginning, but I also believe it's only fair to update my review now that an effort was made to address the concerns.

Then he cancelled again, and then the third time I STILL asked for a reschedule. He said he had stomach surgery, which is totally understandable, so I asked him to reschedule. Instead, Doug just said he didn't want to do my project anymore. This is after waiting for months, we agreed on a price that included my disabled veterans discount, I bought all the materials, and made plans to vacate my house. Absolutely unbelievable. Horrible experience and incredibly unprofessional. Breached our implied contract. UPDATE: I wrote this review after Doug cancelled on me as explained above. Doug then tried to make a deal where he would reschedule IF I took this review down. I said I would be happy to take the review down once he actually completes the job he said he would do. This is totally reasonable. At that point, he said no never mind I don't want to do it, which implies he had absolutely no intention of doing the work and was just trying to get me to take this review down. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS MAN!

The exterior stonework needed repair and they did great with respect to matching the old grout color from 1995. I was pretty amazed how they were able to do it so perfectly. They clean up after themselves leaving no construction debris.

He gave me a more-than-competitive quote that was good for 30 days with a scope that was beyond what I anticipated. I have very wet ground. They pulled up my existing driveway and rolled in new Item 4. They allowed it to sit long enough to firm up before returning to re-roll the low spots with more Item 4 and put down asphalt. They applied a generous layer of both for an amazing final product. They graded everything appropriately and were incredibly efficient. The only reason I left off a star is because of the communication. I had to call to find out when they were coming for the tear out and had to call again to get the date that they were coming back for asphalt. I was on their calendar but no one reached out to tell me dates. That was up to me. I would 100% recommend them for their work and efficiency.

I would not recommend them at all. Just like another customer said, the younger generation took…read moreover and the work/work ethics are not the same as years ago any more. 6 years ago, Tom Sr. was in charge. They did a beautiful job sealcoating my driveway with all cracks carefully filled with hot tar. Since then, they bait-switched on me twice. First time they switched the oil sealer with hot tar filling to a latex sealer job. Later, Jr. told me that was his cousin and he's no longer there. Jr. said he would make it right for me if I would hire them again. But Jr. did the same thing to me this year. He sent another cousin over to do the job. This cousin, wearing another company's uniform, said no one told him that he needed to do hot tar crack filling. He got Jr. on the phone. When I confronted Jr. that not only we had agreed earlier about the sealcoating and hot tar filling and the price, but also his office confirmed all this with him, then reiterated to me item by item, which included hot tar filling of the cracks. Jr. said that it was the secretary's misunderstanding /miscommunication! So, the cousin did latex coating of the driveway and cracks. Besides, they didn't do a neat job either. Some part of the driveway edge was not seal coated and the grass on both sides of the driveway was black. Moreover, they tied the yellow ribbon on my fully loaded garbage can which I put outside for next morning's collection. I had to go out in the middle of the night to untie the ribbon and tied the ribbon to something else. I would not go back to them ever again, and would advise if you consider hire them, put things down in writing, don't trust what they say.

Over the past several months I have used Troy Bennett (AKA Chancee…read moreEnterprises) on several projects, including clearing areas and applying landscape fabric and gravel, three separate roofing projects and replacement of fascia board and gutters. Each time that I called, Troy responded quickly and came, along with his wife Tabitha (who is actively involved in communications and helping the projects to go smoothly), to assess the project needs and subsequently provide a written estimate. I did not have to wait long to have any of my projects completed. Depending on the project, Troy completed the work himself (the landscaping projects) or delegated the work to the appropriate team. In all instances, the workers arrived on the scheduled dates and completed the projects professionally and in an extremely timely manner. Troy provided documentation of his insurance and took care of procuring all of the necessary permits that were needed for the roofing projects. I have found Troy to be reasonably priced and honest. In addition to the projects that I have had completed thus far, Chancee Enterprises is able to take care of just about any project, large or small related to home and property. I would not hesitate to call him again for future projects. It is a pleasure to work with people who are friendly, honest, responsive and get the job done.
