Our motto is "Your Remodeler for Life", as we strive to develop a 20+ year relationship with our clients. We treat our clients' homes as we would our own.
Dave Kopke founded the business in 1993 after noticing undesirable trends in the industry. He wanted to do home improvement the right way, always keeping customer satisfaction his #1 priority. After word got around, our growth has remained consistent, with about 40% of business each year coming from past customers. In 2013, we moved to a much larger facility to accommodate our increasing needs while expanding our radius of travel.
Much of our staff are lifelong employees, and many of our clients no longer feel the need to "get 3 bids". We are seldom the lowest bid, but as we like to say, we are "where quality and affordability come together".
Once you experience Kopke, you will never look at remodeling the same.
Description of Work: Full kitchen remodeling. They did an excellent job. They were more expensive than other quotes but I had excellent recommendations as to the quality and professional attitudes. I was not disappointed!

Description of Work: Great job overall. The Kopke carpenters are so awesome. Always on time and great care of making sure the details are covered. Our project manager kept us in the loop and was very accommodating to any special requests we had. The Kopke workers are really the main reason we return. We know they take pride in their work and treat the job like it was for their own home or family. Their electrician may be a sub contractor but he is the main guy they use and his work is awesome too, plus he is just good people. Our kitchen is amazing!

Description of Work: They sent someone out to look at our project. We discussed what we wanted and we asked for a ballpark range. A week later we had another conversation to confirm that they really thought it could be done in the given price range. They then required a $1,000 deposit to provide "design" work. The design work looked like someone bought a program from 2000 and had a middle school kid throw in some designs. They missed or got wrong about half of the items we requested and we had to have it revised. Then the first quote was provided and it was 50% higher than the initial range that was discussed. Also, the quote did not include several of the major items we specifically requested (fire place, granite, etc.) These were listed as "extras". We asked for a revised quote with these items and the price just went up. We spoke to a manager who said he would look into it and call us back. Still waiting for that call. We opted not to go with them because if they miss-estimated the price by that much, we could only imagine how much the final price would be...the "quote" had so many caveats the ultimate price could easily have doubled.

Response from Kopke Remodeling & Design Inc
Throughout working with this client, we kept clear communication. Although our initial estimated budget turned out to be lower than anticipated, we informed them before proceeding with the design that it would cost more, and they agreed for us to go ahead. We gave accurate pricing, and the customer was aware of increased costs for large additional items, and asked for these to be priced out separately as options. As a company policy, we are thorough in outlining every aspect of the scope of each project, and we never underbid and then increase the price after the contract is signed knowing of expensive issues that will need to be addressed. Calling our design work childish is unwarranted and offensive. Our programs are expensive, up-to-date and in most cases more advanced then our competition. Our design services are a unique aspect that differentiates our company from many others. If you were to pay an architect for designs, you would be paying a greater amount for something of comparable quality. We are very sorry that we were not able to work together on your project.

Description of Work: Contacted provider and arranged for a quote to replace a skylight. Provider showed up an hour late for the appointment, explaining the prior appointment ran long and he "had to stop at the hardware store to pick up a new tape measure". He measured the skylight for replacement and left. About a week later, the company called to see how everything went with the estimate. I explained I had not yet received the estimate so I couldn't comment. They said the would contact the estimator to find out what was going on. About an hour later, I received a text message on my phone "Replace the bathroom skylight - $3200" - No details, no professionalism and seriously.... $3200 to replace one skylight in an 8 foot ceiling. Get real. I can't see any reason for me to ever hire these people.

Sometimes customers get caught up in our process of purging bad employees. Unfortunately, we have to send our salespeople out and see if they can live up to our standards. Even if they interview well, it may turn out that they are not the type of people we want working for us. This is one of those situations. We would love the opportunity to show the client who we really are. Most of the time we are professional and competent, as the other reviews in here are mostly A's.

It is also important to remember the following: In April 2007, we contracted with Kopke Remodeling to install in our basement a full bathroom with Jacuzzi, shower, bath, toilet and sink at a cost of approximately $21,000. We have been steady, longtime customers of Dave Kopke and Kopke Remodeling and have always been pleased with their work. At first, Mr. Kopke and crew were responsive and cooperative to my queries regarding the vanity top. I met Mr. Kopke at his conference table during the week of December 11 2009 and he told me that he would send the company inspector to our house ? a few blocks from their office ? to check it out and see what could be done. He said that he could then determine whether the top could be buffed in some way to restore the original shine, or if the top would have to be replaced altogether. He told me that the material used was probably made up of crushed pieces of marble bound with a manmade material to resemble natural marble. While I was there, they attempted to find the applicable records but were unable to locate them. Early the following week, the inspector visited our house to check out the sink top. He stated that it was, in fact, constructed of real marble, not a fake marble compound. Real Marble, he said, had to be resealed every six months and should never be exposed to a cleanser containing lemon oil. Unfortunately, these facts had never been explained to us, either verbally or in writing, at any time during or after the installation of the vanity top. Consequently, we had never had the marble resealed and had regularly used cleaning products made with lemon oil. One of Kopke?s employees, whom I choose not to name, verified that they frequently do not have the time to explain such details to their customers because they work on so many different jobs that they cannot keep track of which customers have been properly instructed in correct cleaning practices and which have not. Mr. Kopke has flatly refused to give us a new vanity top. His denial is based on the fact that the warranty has expired. We do not feel that this is a warranty issue. We feel this is a matter of a local business maintaining the good will of a steady and loyal customer who has spent many thousands of dollars over the years and that Mr. Kopke should be more than happy to make us whole again. The cost of a new sink top would surely be of little monetary consequence to Mr. Kopke when compared with the benefits of keeping such excellent customers as us content so that we will keep Kopke Remodeling in mind the next time we plan to have any home improvements done, and so that we can, in good conscience, recommend Kopke Remodeling to our friends and neighbors for their home improvement needs if and when they should arise. Under the present turn of events, we can do neither.
Description of Work: The job in question was one of many that we had done by Kopke Remodeling of St. Clair Shores Michigan. They replaced our old sink top in our master bathroom with a marble slab top around July 2008. At the same time, they also replaced the vanity cabinet and faucet assembly. They also retiled the entire bathroom floor and redid the threshold in marble and retiled the floor in the half bath off the master bedroom. They did an excellent job and we were pleased with the way the bathrooms looked when their courteous workmen were finished. We felt we had received good quality material and workmanship for the money we paid. Our problem arose in December 2009 when my wife, Claudia, complained that the top of the sink had lost its shine completely and looked dull and worn even though it had been meticulously cleaned with non abrasive materials several times a week and was only a year and a half old. I contacted Mr. Dave Kopke around December 11, 2009 to request information as to how we could restore the original shine. Please see the box below for an explanation of our experience with Kopke Remodeling regarding this matter.

At Kopke Remodeling and Design, Inc. we take great pride in the fact that we go the extra mile for our customers as often as we can. In this particular instance, we discovered that it would take many administrative hours to coordinate the removal and replacement of the top, backsplash, caulking, painting, etc, and cost $600 out of pocket for materials and direct installation labor. As an alternative, we researched on the internet for many hours, and called several of our suppliers to try to find a solution to the dulled finish. All of the sources stated that the best thing to do is to leave it alone, and stay with the unplanned matte finish. The cost to remove the top, have it honed and polished, and re-install it, would be close to the same $600 that it would cost for a new top. No suppliers of natural stone products are going to warrant against damage from cleaning materials. Although we try to provide as much information as possible, it is the customers responibility to research the proper cleaning of any products that they buy. Since the top is fully functional, and is only dulled in it's finish appearance, and since we didn't contribute to the dulled finish, it was decided that it would not fall into our warranty coverage. Once the products are in the hands of the customers, we have no control over how they are cared for. We install all kinds of different products that have different cleaning specifications. If someone asks us for guidance we suggest that they research the subject on the internet. We also recommend that customers carefully read the labels on the cleaning products that they purchase. We do not ever want to loose a customer over something like this, and we hope that after a while, they will realize that it was too expensive for us to replace for free. Sincerely, The Kopke Team

There were constant delays because all materials had to be ordered and were not delivered in a timely manner. And a window trim kit was ordered without measuring the window first, so it didn't fit and caused another delay of several days. But the final work was well done and all the workers were friendly and professional.
