Our experience with Bob and his team was wonderful! They were very responsive, showed up when they said they were going to be there and did great work. The tiling in the bathroom specifically in the shower turned out beautiful as well. Great people to work with!

In the May 2013 time frame they came out to fix water leaks around a couple of windows and replace damaged shutters. I was very pleased with the work performed, the professionalism, and the technical knowledge shown. Then several months later when several more leaks appeared in different areas of the house, I was glad I had someone to call, with whom I had a great experience with. They came out, took a look, and said I would be put on the "list". Weeks turned into months and then months turned into over a year. I called repeatedly and was told that I was still on the "list" and it wouldn't take long, they just needed to find that "one" day. I was always the one initiating the calling. To me it appeared that more lucrative jobs were taking precedence. I liked the work they did so much the first time I was willing to hang in there for over a year, but I finally gave up. I've rated them high for the work initially done, but a D for responsiveness and a C for professionalism for the second job that never happened.

I called Bob to get an estimate for replacing our frost free exterior faucet that was leaking. I expected to set an appointment for him to come do the estimate and then another one for him to actually do the work. Bob asked me some questions then gave me an idea of what the job would cost. He was able to come within 2 days. He brought the new parts with him but after examining our faucet, said he said he could take the old one apart and repair it if we would rather do that. After a bit of discussion I decided to go with the new part, but really appreciated knowing I had options that could be a bit cheaper. As Bob replaced the faucet, he gave the pipe a bit more slant so that the water would drain out more readily, and not be as likely to break when it freezes. Out of the goodness of his heart, Bob also removed a second faucet and patched up the hole that was left.--That faucet was left there by a previous plumber because he didn't have anything to patch it with! We are very pleased with the work, the timing, and the price! I will call him the next time I need work done and will not hesitate to recommend his company!

Bob and his team were very professional and pleasant. Bob had good suggestions regarding solutions to problems that arose and also suggested some ways we could save money on the project. We purchased all fixtures, cabinets, mirrors except the paint ourselves. I have already received a quote from Bob on a basement bath remodel and will be having him back to work on that.
Description of Work: He installed new cabinets in two bathroom, removed vinyl flooring and tiled both floors, removed a soffit over one of the sinks, repaired the drywall, textured and painted the room and the ajoining bedroom, and painted the other bathroom. Plumbing had to be rerouted in one of the bathrooms and replacement of wood where water had been leaking from a toilet. Plumbing included adding two sinks to one bathroom where one had been, and a new sink installed in second bath plus two new toilets installed. He also installed new tub spout and handles and replaced tile under them. He installed a new electrical outlet, replaced a faulty GFI receptacle, and installed two new lights over sinks. He removed two plate glass mirrors and installed three new mirrors. He removed an ugly metal vent on the side of the tub and replaced it with wood and repainted the wood on the tub.

It went well. Bob was the most reasonable out of all of the bids that I received, he also allowed us to purchase a lot of the materials ourselves, which ended up saving us money with rebates. He also thought to rent a port-a-john as we were going to be without our only bathroom for at least 2 weeks, which turned out to be an absolute necessity. Once the project was started, Bob was really good about calling me either every day or every other day to keep me in the loop on where they were at project wise. His team was good about cleaning up after themselves and was always professional. When I say gutted our bathroom, I mean that literally - it was tore out down to the studs with all new drywall, tub/shower surround, flooring, vanity and cabinets. The bathroom is amazing - showroom beautiful for sure. Bob was great about advising me on different things that he could do that would assist with the improvements - such as using the remaining tile in our little laundry area rather than the vinyl - he thought this would create a more stable environment, especially because with the age of our home, being level just wasn't something that came easy. I did have Bob come back after the work was complete for just a couple of minor issues, such as a tightening of a faucet and a minor vinyl correction, that he took care of immediately. I would highly recommend Bob and his son, Robert for any project and Bob's Home Improvement will be my first call for any future home improvement projects.
Description of Work: Bob's team completely gutted my one and only bathroom, tore up old vinyl and carpet in a kitchen and hallway and laid down new vinyl.

Our final project completed was very pleasing. There were a few minor details that we pointed out about 3/4 of the way through the process...like "it needs a touch up of paint here," or something fixed here. After we saw the end result and how everything looked, we realized we probably didn't need to point out any minor flaws we saw b/c Bob would have caught them himself. I think Bob wanted it to look good enough for it to be his own house.
Description of Work: Replaced drywall from flooded basement. Installed a new light in a hall way. textured and painted our entire basement. installed trim, doors, and bi-fold doors.

Bob's Home Improvement did a great job with remodeling an unfinished bathroom. Labor and material costs were close to what was estimated. We selected an Iowa-made vanity and medicine cabinet that nicely complement the existing woodwork and cabinetry in our home. The work was completed with few delays and passed city inspection with flying colors.

I called Bob back and let him know that unfortunately, my work probably should be done sooner than the end of August. I advised him that I appreciated the call and I would definitely consider using his company in the future.
Description of Work: The provider messaged me back on Angie's List to let me know that they would be contacting me. Bob then did call me and leave me a message that they were booked at the time through August but if I was able to put any work off until after then, he would be happy to speak with me about the remodel. I appreciated his candor and honesty.

Bob was very prompt in getting back to us when we contacted him about the project. He suggestions as to how to design the new bathroom was very helpful. He suggested and assisted in the selection of the appropriate materials. We were kept informed throughout the entire process and checked with frequently to be sure things were going the way we wanted. His estimate was "right on". Bob and his team were very professional and a pleasure to work with. He will be the first phone call we make when we have other projects.

They were completely professional. Worked around my schedule and got the job done in a few hours. They cleaned their way out of the inside and outside of my home. Thought Angies list was kinda of a joke but now know that it's the real Deal. I would highly reccomend Them. I own several rental properties and know many contractors, got 3 bids. 2 from my people then from BOB. He got me the best deal, He knew when the best windows were going on sale to give me the best price.

We were in crisis. The non Angie's List contractor walked away from their job leaving a handicapped woman with no bathroom. The guys from Bob's Came in and assessed the damage, and started working right away. They had to fix a multitude of mistakes, made by the non Angie's List contractor. We were so grateful that they started right away. They were courteous, kind and cleaned up after themselves wonderfully. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Work was completed within a week, all work-related debris and messes were cleaned up, everything was done to our satisfaction. The fee seemed high, but the quality of the work was probably worth the expense. (Bob was recommended by our realtor and we chose him because he was available right away, so we could avoid delays in listing the home.)
Description of Work: Hired Bob to do required repairs and touch-ups before putting our home up for sale. Included sanding & repainting some windowsills, spackling & repainting cracks in walls, fixing leaking kitchen faucet, removing & replacing cracked ceramic floor tile, and refinishing & reglazing areas on stair rails and trim.

He couldn't see anything that was obviously wrong with the patio door. It's also a brand he doesn't service (Pella). He did a good job of cleaning the gutters and pointed out some issues on our roof that need to be addressed. He even took pictures to show me the problems. He was very thorough in his explanation of the roof issues and kindly answered all of my questions. We will have him back to fix the roof when he is available. Bob is a busy guy and getting him to your home is the biggest challenge. I called him several weeks ago and he came on a Monday evening around 5:00 after a full day somewhere else. He was there within fifteen minutes of the phone call. He kept me informed of when he thought he may be able to stop in and look at my issues, and even called me on the weekend.

Bob did a good job. He was responsive to my calls. He came out right away and fixed the leaking vent. There was no rush to replace the other vents so it took awhile for him to come by and get that done. He was very busy with other work.
Description of Work: Fixed a leaking roof vent and replaced two others. When my roof was replace a couple of years ago it turns our that he had used incorrect roof vents. They were simple attic vents and should have been vents with dampers - one for our stove vent and the other for bathroom vent. Bob removed them and put in vents with dampers.

I talked to the contractor telling him my desires. He said he would supply me with an estimate. Unfortunately I neer saw or heard from him again causing me to waste my time. If he would have told me he was too busy or just not interested it would have been ok. By saying nothing but promises I wasted several days waiting for his estimate before making a decision.
