My wife and I love our new bathroom. I found the price to be fair. I wasted my time by talking to three other companies who obviously were not professional bathroom remodelers. I even had the company we always see on television come out and talk to us. Their price was over $10,000 more than Renewing The Home Services. The workmanship, communication and timeliness were fantastic. I look forward to our next project with them.
The whole crew treated me with respect and made every effort to keep my budget under control.
Knowing what I know now, there are more things that I would have had done, but as I promised at the beginning of the process I didn't make a bunch of changes during the project which would have exceeded my budget! As a consequence, I came in pretty much on budget and time.
You should definitely hire this company. Lots of bang for your buck and nice guys to work with. Jacob and Shay were awesome at fixing anything that was wrong. It took some time but that is to be expected. Any request me and my wife made no matter how small or stupid they took care of it. Always on time and if not you got a call stating why and when they would be there. I would definitely have them back!
The cabinets that I got, while not custom made are quite good and the kitchen design was based on their sizes, so I guess I have custom made kitchen! I did request soft close doors and drawers and pull-out shelves on the lower cabinets. I highly recommend this! It costs more, but it's worth it! My biggest problem now is, I have so much cabinet space I don't know where to put all my stuff! I almost need someone to help organize my stuff and store it or get rid of it!
I asked him how will he handle those "unforeseen circumstances" such as replacing rotten wood under the bathtub. (I am positive it needs attention.) He said he allowed for the sink floor but not the bathtub because he didn't think it needed it. I know my tub has leaked at many points in the last 67 years so the floor is probably in bad shape. He said they would stop the work and chat with the homeowner. I know that means raise the price by whatever the heck he wants because he knows we are already underway and I won't want to delay the project. When asked how he would handle if his employee gets sick and can't work in my project. He shrugged it off like no big deal. "I'll pull someone from another project." That doesn't even make sense to me. Why pull someone off a $50K job to put them on a 19K? I have a feeling he was just answering with whatever he could to get the job. Doubt he will stand by any of the comments he made during our bid conversation. The images of the items he would be installing seemed so plain. It looked exactly like everything he could get at the big box store.
I'm felt insulted so I don't think this will be the company I will choose. I just didn't get a good feeling from Nathan. If Nathan is reading this, don't insult your customer by telling her her kitchen will fall apart soon because it's cheap and the customer should know how many layers of shingles she has and should tell the inspector so he accurately bid the roof job. I am giving him one extra star because he was nice to my dog.
We were sold what we thought would be a professional job of remolding our bathroom and hallway. That is not what we got. They were very sloppy dusted our whole house with sheet rock dust. They had to send out a second person . He corrected some of the problems but created a big mess with the tile work. They lack in the skills of customer service. I could on with much more I think you can get the picture. Very dissappointed.
Nathan came to give me a bid for a very small bathroom. Toilet, sink, tub. He shot me $23K then brought it down to 19 after a 20% discount for no reason. That turned me off. Why not just shoot me 19k? Then he looked at my kitchen, which was 11 yrs new, and insulted me at every chance. Told me my new kitchen cabinets won't last because they are cheap stock cabinets. Yes they are from Lowes but they were special order and he has no idea what I paid. I have had no issues with my kitchen. He knocked on my tile bathroom wall and told me the tile was a thin plastic 1950's tile. He is wrong. I have drilled holes in that tile and I know what I have on the wall. This was also a turn off. I get feeling he wasn't so knowledgeable. He tole me the cabinet he will install is solid wood not that cheap stuff from HomeDepot or Lowes. I advised him the cabinet in there now has stood the test of time since 1949 when it was installed and it's not solid wood.

While the project wasn't perfect, it was pretty downright good! I love the color pallet of everything and the design works quite well. I've had numerous unsolicited compliments on the whole project.
Shay was a pleasure to work with, other than he was too happy all the time. Dustin and Jacob were my installers and they are brothers and Steve's sons. They are excellent craftsmen and were very much dedicated to getting the work done. I would be happy to have them on other projects.
If I have any post observations, it would be based on design issues that have popped up. After you get something new, you have a break in period and have a chance to use it in its current configuration. Such as: Under the Cabinet lighting - absolutely love it! However, in its current configuration, the light switch is by the sink, next to the switch for the garbage disposal. A better place, (in my opinion) would have been next to the switch for the overhead lights. That way, you could turn both on or off as you enter or leave the kitchen. Also, if I had it to do again, (actually I do because under the cabinet LED string lights are so simple) I'd try to string the lights in a more efficient way and get more use out of a single 16.4' string of lights. I also would like the lights under all the cabinets (there's about 1' under a narrow cabinet next to the refrigerator that doesn't have lights and looks a little bare (my opinion). I also think that it would be great to run a string under the lip of the bar by the sink and provide me with light directly over the sink. The string lights have proven quite effective as project lights and would fill this need quite effectively. Note to all: I got what is termed “double lights”, there are 600 lights in a 16.4' string as opposed to 300 in a standard string. That's 3 lights per inch vice 1.5. If you think that is too bright then get a dimmer switch for them. It's better to have too much than too little and be filled with regrets!
Thank you very much!
Renewing the Home's (RTH) quote was substantially lower than Jericho and all told, their design was more to my liking.
