Jami was so easy to work with and never pushy. At times I felt that she was more of a friend then my realtor. She reached out and offered to help me multiple times and even showed up early to help me clean and put things away! Justin also did an amazing job staging our house. First impressions are everything and I'm so glad we paid extra for the staging. I strongly believe that we were able to sell our house so fast (less than 24hrs with 4 offers!) due to Justin's talent and keen eye for making the place look beautiful. I would highly recommend The Raines Group and using Jami as your realtor!

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.

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!!!!

After meeting with the Dave Fox rep. I hired the design group to remove three walls and straighten out the hallway to enable a possible wheelchair to navigate the entire open floor plan.

The Fox professional carpenters, drywallers, plumbers, electricians, tile professional and painters created a beautiful new living space for me and my family for years to come.

I highly recommend talking with Dave Fox before hiring another firm for your remodeling needs.

Fox was helpful in a design process that let us try different approaches to fit our need and budget. We now have a room where we can enjoy our backyard as well as entertain our friends and family. What we appreciate about Fox is that they have an entire team devoted to our work but give us a single point of contact to get those vital messages into the workflow. They were responsive to our input during the design process, and respectful to our frequent comments about the workflow. We had daily phone calls so that we knew who would be on property and what they would need from us (decisions, move plants/items). We also had weekly project timelines so we knew where we were in the overall construction process. Dave Fox Builders, knowing the current difficulty of securing labor and materials, acquired, and partnered with multiple related businesses. That approach prevented work stoppages that plague other construction companies. Fox was able to predict our starting point and keep the project on time and on budget. As with all projects, there were many decisions and small problems to work through. Fox was very helpful in identifying anything that they found, and also listening and meeting items that we identified. We found the Dave Fox building team professional and courteous while on our property. They even stayed late to ensure the project kept pace. Fox completed the addition in just over three months, impressive considering the worked during the coldest time of the year. Dave Fox Builders were quick in responding to the various completion issues, often addressing them well before making the final punch list. We found the whole process enjoyable. We recommend Fox Builders highly if you want a quality company that will partner with you to transform space to meet your living needs.
