Reliable Remodel

Eric did an excellent job and was concerned about quality. Got the job done.

Great work, made a huge difference in the functionality of our home.

I cannot say enough good things about Reliable Remodel and I have managed one extensive remodel and two new construction projects as owner prior to this. Reliable was always collaborative in discussing both problems and creative solutions. They would often say there's the top-flight way of doing this, there's a middle road, and there's a less expensive and perhaps quicker way of doing this, but not what we would recommend.' Their work was always precise and beautifully done; they are true craftsmen in an age where there aren't a lot. Reliable Remodel is led by Eric Speck, but his two primary collaborators -- Chuck Snyder and Tom Boyce are both excellent. I loved witnessing the problem solving they did when we were up against a complicated issue. They took great pride in their work and when there were cost overruns it was because we discussed it, I authorized it, and often chose an option that wasn't part of the original plan -- such as sinking the bathtub 12" so we wouldn't have to step over the edge of the tub...or creating a loft where one had not been called for. Reliable Remodel made several really terrific suggestions to change to the plans -- once engineering, once architectural -- that really enhanced the beauty and utility of our home. Their sense of aesthetics is topnotch and we've gotten many compliments on both the interior and exterior of our home; most importantly we love it and have not had to have any callbacks about any of their work. They got estimates for removing three layers of old composite roofing material and installation of a new metal roof, then told me they could do it for less and without the delay of waiting for the other sub. This included installation of six solar tubes, all of which work terrifically. There were some complicated issues related to installing a completely new floor in part of the house including an allowance (height-wise) for radiant heating. All of the floor levels throughout the house are perfectly consistent despite having new tile in the kitche, existing floors that were refinished, and new flooring in other parts. There is radiant heat throughout. I would work with Reliable Remodel again in a heartbeat. In addition to making a number of suggestions that improved aesthetics, they also made recommendations that saved us time and money. They kept an eye on the subcontractors and worked with them when necessary. They always left a spotless workplace, cleaning up at the end of every work day. Invoices were always clear and understandable with no hesitation about going over any issue in great detail. They are as honest as the day is long and will remain friends for life. We will always be grateful for the work they did for us.

Eric is professional and the room is beautiful. His price went a bit over bid and was worth every penny of it. He is trustworthy, honest, considerate, and someone who could be left at the house while we go to work.

Eric was fantastic, I would highly recommend him. His workmanship was very good, he kept the work area very clean, he was on-time, very good at communication and was the lowest bid we got. We would definitely use him again!

This started out as a full remodel for one bathroom and then we decided to add the second bathroom shower. Then we added the fireplace hearth and many misc. other jobs. Eric is wonderful and very detail minded. He was open to all suggestions and when asked gave me great ideas on things to buy etc. He is punctual, shows up when he says he will and communicates well. I felt very comfortable having him in our home during this remodel. He does high quality work and makes sure it's done right. If it's not, he will make sure it is done right. Wonderful personality and actually I'll miss him here and making our home look so great! We will hire Eric again in the future for any other of our remodel or update needs. Eric is worth every penny and then some. We highly recommend and we are so glad we hired him for this remodel. Thank you again, Eric!!! Jeff and Donny Thulson

Reliable Remodel was VERY responsive to my requests, arrived on time, had a great attitude, worked professionally, worked until the job was complete. Did a FANTASTIC job!! The first set of doors was so professionally done, I hired him immediately to replace another set of doors (those doors weren't on my list of replacements until I saw the finished product of the original work requested). He scheduled the additional work and again completed another set of doors, very professionally. I have already hired Reliable Remodel to return in the spring to replace even more doors!! Great job !!

This was a difficult task as the foundation and roof are not level. He was able to frame and install a new back door. Looks great!

Eric is awesome. I would recommend him to anyone.

Very well. I had to wait a long time (two+ months) before he was able to start the work, Erik kept in touch with me about how the job before mine was going, timewise. He proceeded to arrive when he said he would. He did what I asked him to do and did it well. He was collaborative about the what and how of the job. Neat, clean, polite. He tried not to spend my money foolishly. Good guy!

When no "out-of-the-box" solution was available, Eric was skilled enough to create custom solutions that solved many problems. He was able to advise me on the relative merits of one approach vs. another. He is patient and really listens well. This is a rare quality among some contractors! He works hard and is entirely reliable. The quality of his work is excellent. He is always willing to go the extra mile to get it right.
