Lifestyle Group Residential Remodeling

A great experience! We have used this group on 4 different projects to remodel two bathrooms and to build a year-round mostly window sunroom and a side porch. In addition- this team was able to do a repair on a dormer of our home that 4 other companies were unable to fix- preventing additional water damage (even though repairs are not normally in their scope of work). The crew was amazing and the communication of how the work was progressing was excellent. We would HIGHLY recommend using this company to design, execute and polish any home remodeling or building project. They were flexible in the work plan- allowing us to save some money by us pre-staining the wood for our cathedral ceiling. They were creative in helping us to find solutions so that we had the exact outcome we pictured and desired. Very hard working crew, friendly and polite. Cleaned up the work area as well. Again- we HIGHLY recommend this team. GREAT JOB!!!!

Lifestyle Group did a great job from start to finish. Working with Geoff, Stephanie, their employees, and sub contractors was a pleasure. I chose them because they are a full service firm. If you don't have the time, desire, or expertise to plan, measure, purchase materials, find sub contractors, and balance all the scheduling, I highly recommend Lifestyle Group. Stephanie, the designer, has wonderful, yet practical ideas. She listens to the customer. You will end up with the bathroom of your dreams. Geoff, the owner, keeps the entire project running smoothly. He is highly involved, is accessible, and answers all your questions (even the crazy ones). The firm's front line employees are top notch. They are not just employees, they are craftsmen. Each day they clean up. No issues at all with their work. Take the stress out of your bathroom remodel, hire Lifestyle Group!

We recently worked with The Lifestyle Group to update our kitchen. We've worked with them before, and knew to expect high quality work and professionalism. Again, we were not disappointed! The on-site team is a wonderful group of guys, and they take pride in their work, so I know we are getting quality results. For example. our home was built in the 50's and not always prepared for more modern updates. They also took care to stabilize the structure of the cabinets to safely hold the new countertops. They were able to help us from planning our budget, timeline, and making our vision come to life, down to the smallest detail. We will definitely continue our home improvement relationship with the Lifestyle Group for future projects!

We hired LifeStyle Group for our kitchen remodel because of the good work they'd done for us 15 years ago on a basement remodel. We were not disappointed. Though we had to wait a while before the project actually started (which I understand -- everyone we talked to was busy), the work was done perfectly as agreed, and all aspects of the experience were positive. I'd definitely recommend Geoff and his team!

We had Lifestyle Group remodel 2 baths after water damage. It was so convenient to go to one location to choose finishes (cabinets, floors ,tiles, toilets, hardware, etc. We weren't stuck searching on our own at the big box stores or various specialty stores. This was a real time saver for busy lifestyles. Their interior decorator, Stephanie, was so helpful with suggestions. However, she was not pushy at all. Everyone we worked with, from Geoff to Stephanie, and all of the staff that worked in our home, was genuinely nice, clean and efficient. The work was done quickly as well. . As with any remodel/construction, issues came up, however, Geoff addressed our concerns quickly, and had a great response to all of our concerns. This group will not leave you high and dry! I would recommend and hire again!

We bought our house back in December 2018. It had the original, 1950's style kitchen that needed remodeled. We hired Lifestyle to tackle the job. Stephanie first came out and took pictures and giving us all her ideas on what we could do. Stephanie and the project manager, Geoff, really put our dreams into reality! I felt nit-picky at times and Geoff took all my requests and went above and beyond for us. The kitchen is now my favorite room in the house and it is absolutely beautiful. We will definitely use them for future projects!!

We had a great experience with Lifestyle from beginning to end of our bathroom remodel. We have an older home and their team worked well with the challenges that come with that. They worked with us to manage cost, increase functionality, and choose materials/colors that worked best for our space. They answered our MANY questions and never made us feel like a bother. Their on-site team treated our dogs as their own and kept things clean. We will for sure hire them again in the future.

We loved the kitchen remodel that the Lifestyle Group did for us!! The whole experience was great! My wife and I would highly recommend working with Lifestyle Group for anyone needing to do a small or major home renovation. Our home had a pretty tiny kitchen with minimal counter space and not much cabinet space for storing items. A major kitchen overhaul was needed. Lifestyle came up with a great redesign of our kitchen that involved demolishing a wall and incorporating our dining room for expanded space. The project schedule and pricing were appropriate for the remodel. Lifestyle had very skilled (and friendly!) workers doing the demo work, installing the new appliances (oven/range, hood, microwave & refrigerator). Additionally, they installed new kitchen flooring, assembled a beautiful mosaic above the range, installed a gorgeous quartz kitchen island for added counter space, added light fixtures over the island and installed cabinets. Separately, Lifestyle managed contracting out plumbing and electrical work. They also worked with city inspectors to make sure everything met city code requirements. Since Lifestyle was already renovating our kitchen, we also asked them to install new flooring in our living room and family room and entry way bathroom and install a new toilet and sink/vanity in this bathroom. They did a great job with this too. All in all, everything was top notch! Lifestyle Group was always immediately responsive and met our needs 100%!! Highly recommended!

I had previously hired Lifestyle Group to build a screened porch on my deck, so when I needed this project done, I didn't hesitate to call on them again. Every single person from carpenters to painters to electricians to concrete were excellent at their crafts and very personable. They had to tie the new roof into the home's structure and build supports, and hire people to remove the bottom step and put in a deeper step to hold the structure. The finished project is beautiful and so much safer for people and packages.

VERY well, great construction guys who are great at their crafts. All new products installed were top quality and the workmanship highlighted the new look. The help with the design was great and it allowed for the finished product to be even better than we had hoped for!

I like that Geoff did all the scheduling. If I would have had to hire the different contractors, the work wouldn't have gotten done. I liked the one-stop shop vs. spending my weekends going from store to store. I'm sure I paid a higher price for the work to be completed, however, it was worth it me. I felt comfortable of the quality of work Geoff and his team completed. I also still can't believe the difference in just changing out my fireplace door.

We had Lifestyles Group remodel our bathroom by replacing an old tub/shower with a new walk in full shower. In addition we also had them install a new vanity, wall cabinet, mirror, lighting, and tile flooring. We were very pleased with the finished bathroom. Also, we had Lifestyles Group take out old carpeting and replace with beautiful flooring in a sun porch. The workers were very professional and did an amazing job. They answered all our questions thoroughly. We were very pleased with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a type home project.

We took on an ambitious house addition and kitchen remodel that we could not imagine doing without the help and expertise of The Lifestyle Group. From the beginning to the end we were treated to an extremely professional team that took care of our home as if it was their own. The thing I loved about this project was the communication and attention to detail. You had it all: approachable, fun and easy to talk to, listened to what we said, responsive, even an app on our phone! Our finished project exceeded our expectations to the point that we are trying to find another project to work with The Lifestyle Group again!

Once again, I find myself grasping and groping for superlatives which will be adequate to describe the Lifestyle Group, their work, their personnel, and their professionalism. This was the second large remodel project we trusted to them. They previously remodeled our kitchen. These people truly care about the work they do and care about their clients. As I stated before, the craftsmen they use are all outstanding, whether they are actual Lifestyle Group employees, or subcontractors. Construction, especially remodeling can be a royal pain, however, the Lifestyle Group works hard to make everything run smoothly and most pleasantly. My husband and I heartily recommend this business and these people.

Highly recommend. Very professional. Finished on time and within budget.

Angie’s does not allow members to respond to a contractor’s response on a rating given. Contractor’s comments are the LAST thing posted.I posted no comments in my last rating -not enough room to list all the problems I had with them.Lifestyle posted snide comments & spindoctored the facts so I will correct all here. He is a master spindoctor: like when a customer calls him out on things not done correctly or not according to contract; deflecting blame of any issues to others, never himself;and deftly segueing conversation away from any subject he does not care to discuss.Look at his NON-A ratings-read the spindoctored manuscript replies on all those reviews knowing full well that the customer has no way of responding back to anything he says.He even calls one customer a “keyboard coward” so I was prepared for him to slam me personally because even though I am a senior citizen doing a 1st time reno, I would not let him get away with all the things he tried to get away with. I was not “enamored” by their work that I had the $30K+ showers proj done as well.Those showers were quoted at the same time as Proj 1. Proj 2 scheduled to start immed after Proj 1. As the work on the 1st proj went downhill, I tried to get Proj 2 scheduled with another contractor but by that time, all his competitors were booked & I couldn’t get scheduled in the tight timeframe I needed. Had no choice but to let them do the 2nd project. Proj 1 Kitch/FamRm $86,944.30. NOT INCLUDED in this proj were: flooring,plumbing fixtures,appliances,lighting,backsplash,new back door,family room French doors and all painting.All these were purchased by me & installedby the companies I bought them from. Proj 2 $32,502.60 This proj only included tile and shower doors in both bathrooms and 1 tub replacement. NOT INCLUDED in his $30K+ price were the flooring,vanities, countertops,plumbing fixtures,toilets,room painting &exhaust vents.I paid for all those to other companies.For both proj renos, he was given photos from Pinterest to re-create the look.The fireplace already here, only the framing was bumped out a bit & re-faced with tile replacing the old stone.He tried to charge me well over $1000 for a simple H-burner that was installed. I went to the fireplace store to ck that cost, was told the H-burner was less than $100 so I demanded it be removed & a refund issued.Had OMalia’s install it for $150 total.My painter did all the int & ext painting -none of that was included in his price either. Lifestyle didn’t “refuse” to do the basement project - I never even had him quote on that.I already had another contractor scheduled who was just waiting for them to get the showers done and be out of here.The undercab lighting ($585) were all mismatched units which looked absolutely ridiculous from not only the family room but from any direction you looked at them.Contrary to what he says, they did NOT replace any of those lighting fixtures! I had him remove them & credit me back the price.My electricians replaced all w/correctly sized matching units done at 2/3 less cost!Re:blocking off doorway to my newly renovated kitchen so nobody could look at it?How absolutely ridiculous! It was blocked off because of all the sanding dust & dirt & workmen coming in and out for the two shower renos. Did not want all that mess getting into the new cabinets (which were filled with items) or into the new appliances just purchased/installed by LeeSupply. The 1st proj was a nightmare -sanding dust & dirt infiltrated the entire house because they did not cover vents,returns and secure off the other areas of the house properly enough.The 2nd proj was almost just as bad. Instead of them cutting ceramic tile outside, they were cutting tile IN MY BDRM until I caught them forcing them to cut outside.By that time, there was microfine dust everywhere.Clothes/other items in my closets were covered with it. Shower Doors: there was no “recreating of a door concept” that I wanted. He sent me to Lee Supply to choose the shower doors.I chose the one on display there- had a choice of a shower shelf or a bar for the support of the glass - chose the shower shelf for both doors.What he is NOT telling you is that the problem was that they did not pay attn to the door specs which resulted in wrong size doors being ordered by them not once but twice wrong.I had provided them with the mfr info on the doors at the time I chose them. He also tried to charge me more for the doors til I showed him the quote they gave me.After the 2nd doors were wrong, Lee Supply stepped in getting the proper measurements and even handling the entire installation. "The supplier who worked for months” to get me the parts for that master shower door .. had Lifestyle’s workers not THROWN OUT those small parts when they dragged away the shipping box, we would have had them just as we did for the other shower door!Lee Supply had to go back to the mfr to obtain another set of parts.Yes, it took a few weeks to get those but only because the 1st set of parts from the mfr were the wrong ones.Per attorney’s advice, the final pmt was withheld until this shower door fiasco was totally completed.Reno began in May ‘17 - the final things were completed the wk of 4/15/18 & his email requesting final pmt with an INCORRECT balance came on 5/11/18 to which I sent him the CORRECT amt due and the final check sent to him 5/12/18. So in case he chooses to cry/accuse me of not paying him, I am addressing why right here.I am STILL missing the cabinet closing parts for the doors of the 2 fam rm cabinets I told him about months ago.His employees not wanting to come back here? Yes maybe - he uses a lot of subs so you never knew who would be showing up to do work and probably because I wouldn’t let any of them get away with mediocre work & damaging other things in the process. All the months listening to his people and subs endlessly talk about him & the company & not at all in a flattering way either.That is where I learned alot about him and his company. Unhappy workers. He claims to have over 600 A ratings but I took a closer look and many of those A ratings were these special Angie’s deals where he does a $75 layout plan. Great way those listing their services on Angie’s use to build up all those A’s very quickly. Pay attention to what all those NON-A reviews say - there is more truth in those than you might think to give a fair picture of what one might expect. “Fits of rage”? Every day, every week? Me, not “understanding” something? Hardly.The problem for him was that I DID understand and questioned all the things that I knew were not right and that I was on to his game. Did I clip their wings about not covering up stairway carpeting when they were sanding walls & grinding the grit into the carpeting? or not covering up wood flooring well enough that they scratched up so badly it has to be refinished? or pulling a heavy 3 door fridge across the floor into another room by its door handles necessitating repair of the doors that got wrenched out? Or the wrong sink being installed in the kitchen because no one checked the order before installing it? Or some of the wrong cabinets being installed in the kitchen because no one bothered to look at the contract diagram to see if they received all the right things? Or the drywall guy mudding over all the electrical outlets where they had to send out another guy out to manually chip away all the mudding out of them? Or how about my personal fav.. them punching 20 some holes in new drywall that was just painted by my painter so they could “find” the studs! & then be flippantly told that the countertop will cover up all the holes? I didn’t hire them to do a reno and trash other things in my house in the process.The list goes on just not enough space here for it all.My supposed “fits of rage” sure didn’t stop him from doing the $30K+ showers project did it? If I could have gotten scheduled in with another contractor in the timeframe I desperately needed, I would have gone with someone else but I was stuck faced by the deadline I needed.He could have walked away but didn’t - th

Was very pleased either ideas and suggestions for updating kitchen.

Geoff and the entire staff at LifeStyle Group were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and responsive, making this easily the best renovation/construction project that we've experienced. When they encountered some unexpected issues on two or three occasions during the project, they worked closely with us to ensure that our expectations for our remodeled room were met. The quality of the work, from demolition, to construction, to daily clean up, to fit and finish, were excellent throughout. We wouldn't hesitate to use the LifeStyle Group for our next project, and highly recommend them to others.

As recommended, we received three full bids for the work that we needed done on the house we had just purchased. It is an older home and was in need of a total kitchen remodel as well as a few other upgrades we wanted to make. Lifestyle's estimate was right in line with the other quotes...was not the most inexpensive but was within range of what we thought reasonable. In the end, we elected to go with them because they seemed to have a full grasp of what we were wanting and a clear path to get us there. It was a good move...there is no comparison when it comes to communication, professionalism, quality of work, and commitment to our satisfaction. This was a LONG project that I was mostly managing from our old home prior to our move. Stephanie (designer) was a pleasure to work with and the primary reason we moved forward with this group. She clearly understood our vision and had the experience to create it in this space. This was a LONG project that I was mostly managing from our old home prior to our move. Every step along the way, Geoff (owner, project manager) and the team kept us informed, explained any issues and provided simple solutions. Throughout the moving process (which can be very stressful) both my wife and I said the only thing that was going smoothly was the remodel (which is not typical from what I understand). I am extremely impressed with this company as a working partner. The finished produce was beyond what we expected. All cabinets, appliances and tiling was done with precision...straight, balanced and cleanly installed. In the few short weeks since completion our family and friends have been blown away by the difference. There is not much else to say except they delivered 100% on the vision and expectations. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Lifestyle for remodeling projects. I will certainly be using them for future work on this home.

We did not engage further.

It went well. I had them pull together some drawings for my mom as well.

Vert professional company. All work was done promptly and efficiently.

It took them a couple of times to actually get out and do it. They were very professional. We probably wouldn't use them because the quote we got was over and beyond.
