Hiring a contractor for a large project is a very stressful decision with a lot of second guessing. We decided to go with Ronnie and House MD for our kitchen remodel and felt good about the decision from the first day we met him. During his first visit to start the estimate, we felt like we were on the same page with Ronnie. He understood what we wanted and needed. He also made some great recommendations that we did not even think of. For example, he suggested a pull-out spice rack that we love. His estimate was right at the price and time line that we expected. He was in constant communication with us during the estimate process. The initial invoice was well documented and listed everything that we discussed. After our visit to the recommended design studio, the price did go up a little bit. However, that was due to us picking out higher quality floors and backsplash that was originally budgeted in the initial estimate.
Ronnie provided us an estimated week that he would be able start working on the project and was right on schedule. He was also able to keep on the estimated timeline because we were not sharing his time with other customers and their projects. I've heard horror stories of other contractors working on 5 large projects at once and they only show up one day a week for four hours. Once he started working, we had his complete attention for the 3.5 weeks it took to finish our kitchen. He did a great job calling out risks and potential issues while providing solutions to fix. He even called out and corrected issues from previous projects and contractors that were from before we owned our home. He took great care to keep the dust and construction debris blocked off from the rest of the house. He even did a complete cleanup of the adjacent rooms on his last day.
He was able to complete the work on time, within budget and at a quality level that went way above what we expected. When it comes to project management you often hear, "Time, Quality, and Cost. Pick two." Ronnie delivered on all three. Now that we have found Ronnie, he will be our "go to guy" for any future projects that are above my amateur DIY level. We highly recommend Ronnie and House MD. read more
