He did an excellent job working with what was left behind and modifying what was needed in order to get our stairs to code and they look great. This is now the second time we have used Kirk and he is fantastic!! He helped us out a few years ago when we needed work done quickly in our crawlspace before selling our home. He literally can do anything you need! He is thorough and has great skills in all areas of renovation. He is easy to work with and his quotes are very reasonable. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kirk Klapperich on several home projects since 2018 when he…read moreworked with another company as the lead foreman/ contractor. For the past 4 months (Aug- Nov 2022), I have worked with Kirk directly via his company Refined Remodeling involving a complete first floor remodel of my home (powder room, kitchen, flooring, painting, electrical, and more). There are some key components that have compelled me to write this review, the first of which involves Kirk's consistency and showing up timely for the work involved. While there were some small hiccups like traffic or illness, Kirk always communicated via a timely text message regarding the situation. Next involves Kirks crew, Doug, Andrew, Bill, Joe, and Sam, everyone brought their A- game regarding the project for the day. As previously mentioned there were several projects happening daily and everyone did their part, kudos to everyone. While a remodeling project can be stressful for the homeowner with all the coordination of supplies, deliveries, services, etc. Kirk and his crew have been mindful of the details, courteous, and pleasant to work with. Refined Remodeling has been supportive in assisting with coordinating selections to bring the big picture together and given meticulous attention to the details. The company's integrity, character, and service has been above anything I could have expected. As I give my recommendation for Refined Remodeling with exposure and growth of this small business, to bring back trust in a general contractor who will dedicate time, effort, credibility, and integrity into your project, and to enhance your satisfaction. Please consider Refined Remodeling for all your future projects with continued exposure via referrals for this company. I give 5/5 stars. Ms. Angela

However, they ghosted after that. I never got a quote, nor did they reply to my message following up. Not sure what's up, but this caused a delay in my project (laundry room reno and water damage drywall repairs), and seemed unprofessional. Left me wondering if they would disappear once work started if I had ended up moving forward with them.

Additionally, they replaced all of the electrical outlets, switches, wall plates, and vents throughout the house with nice clean white ones.

I highly recommend Romexterra.

Jim and his team at Independent Remodeling did an amazing job on our first-floor renovation,…read moreexceeding our expectations. From the start, Jim was responsive and easy to work with. He has great ideas and isn't afraid to tell you if something you want to do isn't necessarily worth the expense (which we very much appreciated). They delivered high-quality work that leveraged their knowledge and expertise to ensure our new space was functional and beautiful. Some things you look for in a general contractor and rarely find are the ability to stay close to budget and timelines, and Jim and his team did both of these! Jim does a thorough of a job putting designs/estimates together, and the only change order we had (that wasn't scope creep on our part) was for some poor electrical a previous owner did that Jim couldn't have anticipated. In addition, Jim keeps your project moving. We rarely went two days without someone at the house making progress on our project; there were no extended delays due to materials or labor issues. Jim and his team also excel at problem solving. Every project has hiccups along the way, but every issue is tackled and Jim won't stop until the solution works for you. As an example, we were having trouble matching the color of some new hardwood floors to older, existing floors in the house. He helped us put down 16 stain samples and promised we would keep trying until we got it right (and we finally did!). It was very clear our happiness was extremely important to him. If you are looking for a contractor who is honest, knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, affordable, and fun to work with, Independent Remodeling is who you should work with. It's hard to find a company you would want to use a second time, but Jim will be the first person we call for future projects in our house, and who we will recommend to friends and family if they are looking to complete a project in their home.

Shortcut everywhere- every year is a new surprise-turns out they also used a black pipe for my tub…read morefaucet. When I turned on water when remodeling was done, they actually told me the brown water that initially comes out is from the copper pipes, and I believed them! Well, years later looking at brown water, the whole faucet came off the wall. Added picture. I had to get a plumber to come in, open the wall, put an actual tub pipe in, and have someone fix the wall, plumber come back to attach faucet. He couldn't believe that Independent Remodeling didn't drive 2 min to a store to get the right pipe. They were probably behind schedule and used whatever was in the truck. The amount of things wrong with this bathroom is insane. It's great when you're done and easy to be happy because you have your house back, but if you want long term quality, do not go with this company. When doing the initial walk-through explaining what I wanted, there were no notes taken. I thought that was weird but they are professionals and I figured it's what they do. That was, until plugs ended up in the wrong spot, etc. they did something wrong while installing a very expensive showerhead and fixture, and the solution was to put gum in it which took no time to get brown with mildew. The tiles were not laid properly and are cracking. They did come back a year later to redo it, but they are the same quick job. There's something behind the tile that is not letting water flow to the showerhead, we had all new piping done with them. They also hung a giant mirror with a thin wire. They had to come back after year because it was starting to pull off the frame. They just glued it to the wall. It is now peeling from the wall and is about to fall on someone. So after just a few years I am looking for a handyman to fix all these problems which may include taking down the new tile, so I thought I would share that this probably isn't a good solution if you're looking for a long-term bathroom redo.

We hired ABA Remodeling for a bathroom renovation and were thoroughly impressed with every aspect…read moreof the project. Professionalism: From the outset, the owner, Karl, demonstrated outstanding professionalism. He provided a prompt, competitive estimate, and the final cost actually came in slightly under budget. The demolition was carried out with surgical precision, and the entire worksite was kept immaculately clean throughout the project. Karl and his partner David handled all the work themselves--eliminating the typical delays and coordination issues that come with juggling multiple subcontractors. Creativity and Craftsmanship: Karl's insight during the planning phase helped us reimagine the layout to maximize both space and functionality. He offered thoughtful, practical design suggestions that elevated the final result, guiding us toward choices that added real value. Karl and David brought an old-world craftsmanship and an impeccable attention to detail to every stage of the process. High-quality materials were used throughout, and Karl's network of skilled artisans--including a stone mason and glass cutter--ensured that every component was expertly sourced and installed at a fair price. In short, ABA Remodeling delivered exceptional quality and service at a value that's hard to beat. We had such a positive experience that we're already planning a second renovation project with them.
