He worked with me on the design, timeframe, and price and was extremely communicative throughout the process. The quality of his work was outstanding for the price, much better than any vanity I could have purchesed for a similar price from a big box store. He even coordinated with my countertop fabricators to make sure the design and measurements would work for my undermount sink and countertop. He is definitely worth a call if you have a custom woodworking project!

Dave at RiverBend helped us select manufacturers and specific models of appliances. He steered us away from products that were no longer as reliable as they had been in the past.

He even helped us get rebates that Miele was offering that had escaped our attention! We will be moving back into the house in two weeks and can't wait to use the appliances in our dream home.

We were redoing a bathroom and gathering quotes and Peter at World of Kitchens was recommended by…read morenumerous neighbors. Peter checked out our bathroom and took notes and measurements but unbeknown to us, was not a contractor, just a supplier. He could not comment on our proposed bathroom layout changes or whether it would be possible to move plumbing or how big our shower should be. Before he left he gave us a number of a plumber and told us to contact him and see what he thought about our plumbing rearrangement. We expected that after this plumber came out (given prior notice by Peter that we were calling), he and Peter would work up a proposal with a price. We had a short time frame to work in and he was the last quote we were waiting on. We eventually got hold of the plumber who had no idea what we were calling about and turned out was booked for another month anyway. We then called Peter and he said oh, try this other friend (we thought another plumber) and clearly did not intend to propose anything but we should come down and look at vanities. At that point we were ready to give up and go with one of the other quotes. We were able to get a hold of this 2nd "plumber" who turned out was a contractor and also was not aware we were going to call but agreed to come out. The pro of the story was we found a great contractor and since we had found him via Peter, we felt obliged to buy some items from him. We went to the store and well, I guess I was expecting kitchen AND bathroom stuff but it was solely kitchen stuff. The only item we could get from there was a vanity and medicine cabinet and we'd have to go somewhere else to get the counter top and they'd be able to put it all together. The cabinets were not cheap (I didn't expect them to be) but we figured, we'll just buy this one thing from the guy and that's it. Of course the items would take 4 wks to arrive so we had to rush. At this point we were toying with the idea of a new layout that would affect the size of our vanity and it all depended on our plumbing which of course, was hidden in the walls and floor. Peter let us know the order cutoff was Fri (this was Sun) so if we could get him an order by then, we should have the vanity in time as to not stall the job. Our poor contractor rushed over, leaving another job, to come and assess the situation and do demo work. He spent 2.5 days tearing apart the bathroom and had his plumber come after work hours to decide if we could make this new layout happen. In the end it was a dud so we let Peter know via email on Thurs we were sticking with the original size vanity. Well no response from Peter and now Fri had passed so on Sat, we contacted Peter who says oh! I took Fri off for my son's birthday and have no access to email at home. UMMMMMMM......... what??? Even our contractor was flabbergasted like why did I bust my a** if it wasn't going to matter. Peter assured us though he would get the order in and it would still come in time.... So.... not sure what the deal was about the cutoff.... didn't we just extend our time frame another week? We went down to the store to finalize the paperwork (once again, me thinking we just have to buy this from him and that's it). We arrive and look over the numbers. He gives us the card for a granite place to pick out our vanity top. And oh, by the way, the medicine cabinet doesn't come with a mirror. So when that comes in take it to Mr XYZ and he will measure and fit it and that will take another week and that price is not included and I'm not sure how much extra that will be. OH, and I need a check for the deposit, did I forget to mention that? At least he offered to pick up the check from us. We left and I was not happy to be paying $$$$$ and having to wait so long for items to arrive and run around and get mirrors from one place and granite from another and extend our time frame. In the end we canceled our order (big weight lifted off my shoulder!) and bought all our stuff from Lowe's and Amazon which we love and was way cheaper. I'm not sure how much of a "review" this is. He is a nice enough guy and he did come out probably knowing we would only buy one cabinet. I just did not feel comfortable giving him my business with all these little nuances popping up.

One day he threw up his hands and said, "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE," and bravely stepped into the small business world. He has NEVER looked back, and has never been happier. So sure, this review is going to be a little biased, but I'll give you a few examples: When my 3 siblings and I were kids, he built us a kick ass swing set. I mean TOTALLY kick ass, not from a kit, swing set. 4+ swings, a platform, monkey bars, hanging bars, etc. It survived our move from Delaware to Massachusetts! Sadly it's now kindling. Dad/Bob is currently remodeling my parents' house. This house was a dump. Old and trashy. Now, it has a sparkling new master bedroom and a bathroom to die for (among other things), making their lake neighbors oh so jealous. The work is stylish and to the point. I think he really listens to what his customers want (his customer in this case being my mom). Though he's had the business for only four years, he has decades of experience under his belt. He used to make my siblings and me sand, paint, and plaster his various home repair projects.. and now I thank him for it. Bob is available for jobs in the Central Mass/Rte 495 belt area. He can do everything from new windows, fancified bathrooms, and refinishing basements. References available upon request. Go, Dad, GO! PS. He's a deacon in my parents' Unitarian church, so in case you were doubting his integrity before, now you KNOW he's trustworthy!!

I am not one who enjoys writing bad reviews, but after discovering the latest mishap with the…read morebathroom renovation Red Oak did for us, I feel obligated. I'll start off with what is good -- Bob laid out his estimate in a professional manner and did not go over budget or try to sneak in hidden charges and fees. He also has a good head for design and layouts. His work crew was relatively neat and cleaned up after themselves. We had one small scratch on the front door and its screen door --but such minor things are to be expected from the wear and tear of such a job. He is also a very nice guy and easy to work with. However, I cannot recommend him for anything more than a simple job. If you do hire him, make sure that he subcontracts out things like plastering, painting and plumbing. (He does everything himself, which is good for price, but we are ending up paying for that discount by having to have stuff re-done.) Our job included a complete renovation of a bathroom, tearing it down to the studs. The rough in work was okay, but the finish work was left to Bob's crew while he worked on another job. Although they did a good job on some tasks, they were complete hacks in others. The floor tile was not laid flat -- they had no idea how to hang baseboard, and they started painting on the walls before the mud was dry or sanded properly. (Nor did they vacuum before painting either, resulting in dust being painted into the wall--it feels like sandpaper when you run your hand across it.) These were brand new walls and ceiling, and they look like silly putty. There were also paint stains and plaster stains on the tile, which we are unable to clean up. Bob knew we were unhappy, and did take half the cost of the paint job off the price. However, we have since brought in a plasterer, and are going to spend several hundred dollars redoing the walls and ceiling to cover up the job. The plasterer said the job was so bad we should sue, something I really have no interest in. We saved up our money for quite some time to do this job, and feel like we could have done a better job ourselves. Despite all this, I was not going to write a bad review until we found this morning another problem with the base-board heater they installed. The plumbing was poorly measured such that the heater element tilts into the room, making it impossible to put the cover on the baseboard. We will have to have the heating system drained and the bad part of the pipe re-done to fix it. We have not had an estimate on it yet, but I imagine we are now into the four figures to fix a job that cost us 15k all together. I do not enjoy dissing a business like this, but this whole experience has been very stressful, and enormously disappointing. I hope this was a result of the fact we got Bob's second crew, because I cannot understand how someone can call themselves a professional and do such a bad job. I only hope other people have had better experiences.
