Extremely pleasant team to work with, prompt, cordial, professional. Reasonably priced. Will definitely use for business and residential future projects.

I let them know they were from Restoration Hardware. He provided a price of $150/ fixture. Halfway thru the job, they advised there would be an hourly fee of $75/hour/man for the dressing of the 1 chandelier that was complicated. I agreed, and that was the last we discussed price. After completing the work, Jeff advised that my new price was for $1375. I asked him how he possibly came up with the rate, he stated that I was paying $75/hour for the workers time, and that price started the minute they left their shop. They also had to go to Home Depot, and take a lunch, which I guess also cost me $75/hour. When i asked him why this wasn't discussed with me prior, or advised me of the price change before completion, Jeff stated the workers could take the chandeliers down and take them apart because "The price is the price".

When i asked him why this wasn't discussed with me prior, or advised me of the price change before completion, Jeff stated the workers could take the chandeliers down and take them apart because "The price is the price". The workers did a great job, and were very polite. However I can't suggest anyone use Industry Electric because of the shady pricing and business practices. If Jeff would've informed me of the pricing details in advanced we would've had an entirely different convo **edit after the owners comments: your guys asked if I wanted to have the fixture moved, didn't say it would increase the price or how difficult it would be to do. While we are on the topic, there are now 2 holes in my ceiling from the fixture being moved. When I asked the workers about them they stated I should have someone else come and fix the holes. I guess your company only makes holes, and can't fix them. A reputable cmpny would've established a price prior to the work being done. You intentionally increase the perceived difficulty of the work w/o specifically stating it will increase the price. I am the customer, you are the provider, the provider is responsible for keeping me informed of price increase. I wasn't going to be critical of the work, but since you replied with lies, let's just have at it. -In regards to the glue removed from my ceiling, that's a lie, it's still there see picture below. Removing the medallion took them 20 seconds, i watched them pull it down. - In regards to the boxes being missing or broken, how is a customer, who has no electrical experience supposed to know that? Any other provider would've said, hey Ryan this box is broken, I'm going to fix it but it's going to cost X amount of dollars. Oh and you are going to have to hire someone else to fix the ceiling since we don't do that. Your guys arrived to my house then called you and told you the extent of the work. You called me, and told me the only extra price would've been $75/ hr for dressing the chandelier that had the crystals. I specifically asked you if the hrly was only for the dressing of the 1 chandelier and you confirmed it was. If you would've been upfront, I would've understood the extent of the work, We could've agreed to the new price, YOU could've performed the work as stated, and I would've happily paid for the service provided. -in rgrds to $: if you are charging me $450 for the fixtures, then that surely would've included the drive time and from the shop and some of the time that you worked? Nope guess not. that should put us at 4 hours of billable time per man. $600. $1050 total. It's not about the $, it's the way it was handled. It's not my fault that you underquoted a project and lost a team of workers for a day. That's on you!You are the 1sr cmpny I have come across that operated with surprise pricing at the end. Lastly, tell your employees to show up at the job site wearing masks. I shouldn't need to tell them to put a mask on, and I shouldn't have to have them talking to me all day without one on. It's literally the law.

    I live down in Ferndale, and in July 2020, our basement got hit with the second round of…read morecatastrophic flooding in the last six years. Cool. After professional cleanup, the headache of dealing with an insurance adjuster, and the due diligence of meeting with multiple contractors to get bids on putting the basement back together, we went with Rentz Remodeling and Contracting. And wow. The difference between someone like Matt Rentz and other contractors we've dealt with has been night and day. A selfish part of me wants to keep this knowledge to myself, in case we need him again, but he's too good NOT to share. First of all, his bid was extremely fair. Since we were dealing with repairs and not an elective home remodel, we didn't have a ton of money set aside. Just what was left of insurance after a not-great cleanup crew charged us through the nose. Matt detailed out everything he would do to fix the basement, with line items for both labor and cost of materials. There was no guessing or having to ask for more detail; he came prepared with paperwork and was always extremely open about what everything cost. Secondly, he and his crew were incredibly polite and professional. In a pandemic, having new people in your house is always a little anxiety-provoking. The first thing they did when they arrived is put up a plastic zip door between the basement stairs and the rest of the house. And they never came through it into the main house. We worked out a system where he would text if he needed to ask any questions, which meant I could go anywhere in the house without worrying that I couldn't hear them if they needed anything. But for the most part, they came and went according to the needs of the work, and I didn't have to do much of anything at all. Thirdly, Matt and his crew are not just great contractors, but good guys. We had a problem with the hose discharge line for our sump pump freezing over during a cold snap, so my husband had temporarily removed it. Matt noticed and pointed out that he'd seen excess water leak through basement walls before, and texted with me about potential solutions we could try ourselves to keep it functional through the winter. Not an upsell--but just because he had knowledge he thought we could use. I'd recommend Rentz Remodeling and Contracting to anyone. (I've already given his name to a few friends.) And the next time we need anything done around the house, these guys are at the top of my list. A++, 10/10.

From start to finish everything was great…read more Communication was top notch, every person here working was nice, they all did great work, cleaned up after themselves, and showed up on time every day. The tile work done is absolutely beautiful, and the whole room is just so perfect. It's like a little spa attached to our bedroom. We have ultra protective dogs here and they were all mindful of them and polite when the dogs were being obnoxious. That was also much appreciated. This is who you should hire if you: Like it when people call/text you back promptly Want an honest estimate Enjoy punctuality and being informed Are looking for people who do great work.

Ed, the owner of Set In Stone, responded first phone call, arrived on time for our appointment, and looked at our project with confidence and professionalism. Throughout the project we could call and ask questions or change things, he never got angry or impatient with us. Our project was his project. He made us feel like he really cared that we were going to be happy. Now no renovation is going to be without its problems, but patience with each other and pulling together made it all come out beautiful in the end. You have to be your own advocate, checking that things are done the way you like, but if you stay involved daily and are a reasonable person you should have a good experience. Ed walked onto our property the first time a stranger, but I feel like he's walking off, after 7 months from start to finish, a friend.
