Whatever you do, DO NOT hire Rick Wade. He will rip you off and do horrible work. We had him remodel 2 bathrooms, put in new stairs, drywall work and a few other things. He stole our faucets when he was suppose to install them because I told him I thought the work was a little sloppy and wanted it fixed. He did this 3 days before we had a bunch of family coming in for for wedding. Classy move Rick. He also sent us an e-mail telling us if we wanted our stuff back we would have to pay him all final monies up front and leave him alone in our house ALONE while he worked. Ending the e-mail with "You will have to agree to my terms or find new faucets". The last line of his contract states "Final payment is due upon completion of work and satisfactory inspection". Not sure why he thought we should pay him for work that wasn't and hasn't been completed He seems to think his clients are idiots. The grout in our bathrooms was done so badly that we will have to have it redone. Our expensive shower fixtures were not installed properly at all and don't even get me started on his time line. His "highly experienced and qualified" crew consisted of a homeless man he picked up one day to work, A man who had only done tile twice before us, a stair guy who broke a bunch of our stuff and made the biggest mess possible (so bad in fact he had to be let go), and his son (who only worked 2 days) who messed up a bunch of our tile so bad that it had to be removed and redone. Every single person he had do work for us messed something thing up. No joke. Some problems were fixed, some were not. His overpriced paint guy even painted the bathrooms the wrong color and had to redo them. He is very shady and does HORRIBLE work. I'm not actually sure he has any real construction knowledge of any sort. I think his only skills are hiring mediocre workers and ripping people off. I'm not even sure the reference pictures he sent me were of his work because they look NOTHING like what we ended up with. Please look elsewhere for your contracting needs, you will be sorry if you hire Rick Wade of Rick's Remodeling Service Llc. Please feel free to contact me further if you want pictures or other proof of his shoddy work

Job one: The work was done neatly and efficiently. They came when they said they would and while the work took a few hours longer than they initially estimated completion was timely. Job Two: The work was done efficiently and at the agreed upon times.
Description of Work: Job One: They insulated the ceiling of a two car garage. The insulation was installed at the roof level on a pitched roof - some work was at about 13 feet from the floor. Cost: $850.00 Job two: We had a new counter top installed and to prepare we needed to disconnect and remove the sink -- a bit heavy to do alone. Then after the new top was delivered the sink needed to be put in place and reconnected. This required two trips to the house on separate days. Cost: $ 200.00
