Neighborhood Remodelers

Working with Neighborhood Remodelers went very smoothly. ?Communication was excellent. ?Most of the work was completed when we were out of town for the winter, and they handled everything. ?They completed the job, including minor touch ups when we get home. ?They were a pleasure to work with, from the carpenters to the office staff. ?Kamil was outstanding to work with.

The estimator, project manager and superintendent were all very professional and courteous. The team was very knowledgable and quick to offer very practical, cost effective and attractive options whenever a decision was needed on the fly. I would recommend their services and use the again. They very cost competitive and more thorough than other estimates of the same work.

     This was a very professional business that made a point of maintaining excellent communication throughout the long process. Had an eye to keeping the inherent inconvenience in this process to a minimum. They were also very nice and friendly to deal with throughout the work.  Glad to give them a positive review here.  

Everything went great.  They were amazingly always on time and finished the job within days of how long they estimated.  We got several quotes from other contractors before hiring NR.  Their quote was in between our other ones.  However,  I did feel that the allowances they provided in the quote were on the low side for the remodels for the bathroom and kitchen.  With that being said, the overall price was fair given the quality of work and outcome.  In fact people regularly tell us that our kitchen looks like it belongs in a Magazine!!  So I can without hesitation, recommend this company to anyone looking for a kitchen/bathroom remodel.

It went very well!  They were easy to work with from the very beginning to the very end and we have already referred some friends and family to them.  We, without question, would work with them again.  People were at our house every day at 7:30 and stayed until 4:30 or 5.  They always cleaned up after themselves and didn't mind us emailing and texting them with questions almost every day.  It was a big project for us, so we wanted to make sure we understood what was happening all of the time.  They always made time to answer our questions or talk about any concerns.  When all was said and done, we have a beautiful new basement to enjoy with family and friends.  We were very pleased with their work.

It was an overall great experience. Luke was great to deal with and was always very responsive (quick and honest) to any questions we had. Damien and his team were very professional and while we stayed in the house throughout the renovation we hardly knew they were there.

We had several companies come out to bid on the project and though Neighborhood was not the cheapest (but not too much more expensive than most others) we felt the most comfortable with them. When spending this much money on a full kitchen remodel, you want someone you can trust who has the experience to do the job right.

Neighborhood remodelers was extremely easy to work with and professional in installing our new bathroom. Their price was higher than others, but they fulfilled all of our expectations on time!

I couldn't be happier.  I had to be out of town when the job started and Luc assured me that they could start the project without me.  They kept me informed of all phases and when I got back in town, the kitchen was well underway.  At all times were they respectful of cleaning up at the end of the day and keeping product that was delivered orderly and out of the way.  The workmanship was superb and I never felt that they were cutting corners or installing things improperly.  They always took the time to make sure the installation was done right!

I live in a condominium and my neighbors were never bothered by noise, the hallways were never dirtied or damaged.  Everyone was surprised I was having work done because they were never disrupted during the workday.

I worked with Abbey picking out product and she was incredibly helpful.  I could not have gone through this without her guidance and helpfulness.

The work in both the kitchen and bath was done so well, that 7 weeks after completion of the project, I have only 1 minor thing on my punch list.

The staff in the office was pleasant to work with and they were helpful with any questions I had.

I highly recommend this company, will recommend them to friends and family, and will use them again in the future.

Our 1937 Cape Cod had a breakfast nook that was mostly wasted space so we decided to transform it into a powder room. Sebastian, the project lead, was very easy to work with and very dedicated to getting everything just right. We needed to run new electrical, plumbing (including re-running some existing pipe), build out a new wall, insulate, drywall, trim, paint and tile. We decided to re-tile the kitchen at the same time to visually unite the spaces. Sebastian was sure to ask questions as he went along, offer options, and provide detailed pros and cons. The work space was kept clean and the rest of the house was protected from airborne debris as the work progressed. Mike, the project manager, picked up and delivered the flooring, fixtures, and kept the project on schedule.
In the end, the powder room looks like it was original to the house and the work exceeds our expectations. What I've always liked about Neighborhood Remodelers is how easy they are to work with and how concerned they are to make sure everything is done right... they're just good people.

Neighborhood Remodelers were competitive price-wise with the other three quotes we received.   They came across as more professional in their presentation; leaving us will a binder full of references, some local, many with similar projects.  They turned around a quote on the same day.  Not only were they able to promise the job would be completed before Christmas but they were the only contractor that didn't give us the impression that they would be doing us a favor to take on such a small job when they are so flush with work.  We were left with the impression that they truly wanted our business.
Accuracy:  Everything they estimated was spot on:  they showed up when they said they'd be there, took exactly the amount of time estimated, and the final invoice was not full of surprises.
Quality:  My wife and I are detail freaks and we both agree the work is top-notch, the tile work is fantastic.
Employees:  Mario and his helper were easy to work with and would call any time they had a question.  They listened to what we wanted and had some excellent suggestions about changes and details we hadn't thought of.
We highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them in the future.

Everyone involved with the project was professional, detail oriented, and friendly. I could not be happier with the results of the project.

Couldn't have gone better.  Everything promised was delivered.  They promised job completed in 6-8 weeks, finished in 7.  They promised they would have someone on-site daily until the job was complete and that was truly the case - no delays.  Their bid was a detailed 72 point itemized list with the understanding that there could be savings anywhere.  For example, the bid included pendent lighting at $100/light and if we wanted cheaper, the bid would be adjusted.  The bid for cabinetry was a little high so they worked with us on the price at a nice savings for us.  Other contractors gave us very generic bids that were cheaper but after comparing apples to apples, Neighborhood Remodelers was the obvious choice.  Questions with regards to change orders were literally addressed within an hour.  During the middle of the renovation, we wanted the new plumbing to extend to our second floor and within an hour, we received a new proposal via email with the extra cost.  Their communication was incredible and my wife and I felt they were looking out for our best interest, not what was easy or convenient for them.  We lived in the home during the renovation and they went above board to make us comfortable.  Their staff, from their initial visit to our home, to the selection of our cabinetry at their showroom, to the on-site construction were truly professionals.

Neighborhood Remodelers have been wonderful from day one of our engagement.  Luke came by and evaluated
the scope of the project and quickly gave us a very competitive quote (within 3 days).    We met with the designer, project manager, and foreman to kick off the project who were all professional and competent.  The project entailed major kitchen and 2 big
bathrooms rehab work.  The kitchen designer helped designed a great kitchen layout and provided good insights on
cabinet choices.  The project manager recommended good vendors for bathroom & kitchen fixtures and tiles (the contacts
he had were so helpful in helping us out with tile choices).  We ended up choosing our own countertop
company for better pricing.  Overall, my experience with NR was excellent.  i was impressed by their professionalism and responsiveness,    I wouldn?t hesitate to hire them on  another project.

They were good about being on time.  They sent me the same two people everyday to finish the job.  We called them about the hearth/flooring issue but nothing has been resolved on this.

We have a 100+ year-old bungalow that we have owned for a little more than three years. It's in good condition, but is in need of modernization. The first project we have undertaken is the main bathroom, for which we contracted Neighborhood Remodelers. Now it is the best room in the house.







It was practically a complete rehab - the only parts kept are the bathtub and radiator. To give an impression of the condition it was in, there was water damage from never having an exhaust fan and behind the walls we found a scrap of newspaper from 1956.







Neighborhood Remodelers updated the electricity and plumbing, put up new walls, and installed the new tiling and fixtures. What's more, the room is small (maybe 6 feet by 8 feet) and they consulted on the best sink, cabinets, toilet, and fixtures to make the most of the space. This included relocating outlets and placing new lighting fixtures - not the easiest solution, but the best one for the room. We are very happy with the work done and love the personal attention that they gave the project. It felt to us that it wasn't just work to them; they seemed excited about it.







We have more modernization projects that we're looking to do on the house and will certainly look to Neighborhood Remodelers.

I wanted to give it a year or two before commenting. Overall, it is okay...and to their credit, they had done the work during one of our extremely rough winters.  They weren't the cheapest quote or most expensive. Their office staff is nice. At several points they tried to use cheaper material and products which didn't conform to  design and then had to redo ...had my husband not queried we would have been 'stuck'.  To be fair, my husband wasn't convinced this was intentional on their part; however there was no attempt to contact us or discuss before proceeding, so then things had to be redone. The main problem though is that the outdoor stairs are not even and the slope isn't accurate and so water pools on some of them....We contacted them and they seem to be convinced the stairs were sloped correctly. But the stairs  don't slope correctly and it would be very complicated to redo them.  Water seeps through on some of the stairs so now we are having to figure out a fix.
And we are now having problems with aluminum 'under roofing' (not sure what it is called) blowing away because it wasn't tacked down. We had prior aluminum roofing by a different company (unfortunately retired) and never had this problem for over 15 years. It is a larger surface area than before, however, so to be fair, so this may be one reason for the problem.
I am grateful that they did at least finish the job despite the horrible winter conditions they were working through.  I am sure they have been fine for many jobs, but I probably would prefer to try someone different.

This was the second major home remodeling project that we have attempted in the 30 years that we have lived in our house.  Our first was a complete bathroom remodel, done in the summer of 2013 by Neighborhood Remodelers (NR), whom we obtained from Angie's List.  We were so pleased by that experience that we went with this firm for our kitchen project, and we are quite happy that we did so.  From start to finish, the people who are part of NR have done a superb job in all aspects of what is, to me at least, a very formidable task.  The excellent architectural drawings of Jill Stumpf as well as her advice helped us immensely during the planning phase as well as in our shopping expeditions.  They provided essential guidance to the craftsmen as they assembled the materials into the finished product. Our day-to-day progress was monitored by project manager Mike Cooper, who was completely responsive to our questions and concerns, making daily visits to our home to stay on top of the work and giving excellent suggestions when asked.  Much praise must be given to Marek and his crew of highly skilled workers for dealing with the many challenging issues that arose during the course of the work.  These included Chris, who was largely responsible for accomplishing most of the project, with some assistance from Robert and Jack (who was the craftsman mainly responsible for remodeling our bathroom two years ago).  The field people had fine support by an efficient office staff, led by Luke, Kerin, and Samantha.  All of the staff did their best to minimize the discomfort of the experience.
We were fortunate in being able to schedule the various phases of the work without much delay-time intervening.  For example, we were able to schedule the demolition phase just as the cabinets were about to be delivered, and the countertops were constructed (by DTK Stone Works of Wheeling, IL, quite expeditiously I might add) as soon as the cabinet installation was completed.  The result? There was minimal down-time when nothing was happening and during which we had to contend with the logistical inconveniences of the project.
Overall, I was impressed by the work ethic, communication skills, and business tactics of this family-operated company.  My wife and I give them our highest rating and unqualified recommendation.  We would certainly hire them in the future for any additional remodeling work that we might need.

We hired NR to redo a number of rooms in our house.  We worked with their designer who was excellent.. She was very responsive and we loved her taste.  The NR construction team was great too.  they have a great crew and if your family is around while they work, they are very friendly.. My kids loved the guys that were over on a regular basis.  Luke is great too.. Professional and will work with you on things... 
I would recommend them again.  Only issue we had was a PM that started on our job wasn't that responsive, but it turned out that NR didn't think so either, because he no longer works for the company..  if you are interested in finding out more, please don't hesitate to ask Luke for my email for a reference.
Best,
Bill
