Eric and his crew did a great job! They attended to every detail. I waited this long to give my review to see if the work would hold up. It has been well over a year since the job was completed, but so far, the materials they used are holding up very well.
Description of Work: Bedroom renovation/bathroom addition, installed insulation in bedroom walls, ceiling and garage; installed crown molding in bedroom, bathroom and closet; installed French doors (closet) and pocket door (bathroom).

They were very good. I would use them again.
Description of Work: They worked on my kitchen for me.
Best experience hiring work done ever! I will be calling again.
Description of Work: Eric and his crew removed a lower drop ceiling and the original plaster ceiling, installed new drywall ceiling and blended it with the existing plastered walls. They applied sizing to the ceiling. We did the painting ourselves and when we were ready they came back and installed the new crown molding. Aaron did a fantastic job on the molding. They also refinished the wood flooring in our 2nd floor hallway as well as the wood steps. This looks great. Brian worked very h****** the prep sanding and it made all the difference in the finished floor. These guys also clean up after themselves everyday!!!!! They even hall away there trash or take it to the curb for pick-up. They were considerate and tolerant of the free range farm animals that pestered them as they worked and begged them for their lunches.

He was very good at solving problems. He is very clever about finding fixes for home improvement problems when I don't want to spend a lot of money. Sometimes he is busy so sometimes it is a little difficult scheduling him but when he is here, he is very good.
Description of Work: I used Froman Renovations because there was a hole in the soffits going up to the roof area and I was getting some squirrels in there so he repaired that area. He made sure the squirrels were out before he closed it up.

It was great. The estimate was probably for $8000-$9000 worth of work. We were pleased with the estimate. We thought that it was a fair price for what he was going to do. He was on time and the interaction with him was good. He was very responsive. We would have probably gone with him but the house didn't warrant spending that much money and so we decided to go another route.
Description of Work: Froman Renovations gave me an estimate for a multitude of jobs. He was going to do some front porch and deck work, and some work inside, and some drywall work.

Response from FROMAN RENOVATIONS
Neither owner received a voice mail message from this member. We have been serving the Kent community for several years with many satisfied customers and would have gladly returned her call for an appointment concerning her kitchen/bathroom remodel. We do apologize to the member for her experience using the site.
I just LOVE working with Eric's company. His team is ALWAYS professional and they work until they get the job done. Whenever I need any type of home improvement, I call Eric first. If, for whatever reason, he cannot do the work himself, I know I will get an HONEST and straightforward recommendation on next steps. Most of the time though, Eric can handle it. It's so good to know that I have someone I trust completely who can handle just about anything I need in the way of home improvement. Eric, you have a life-long customer! Aaron, thank you for your EXCELLENT work. Our baseboard is perfect and the work you did on the swingset is way above our expectations. I am so thankful I found this company. Hire them and you'll see exactly why I have been a very satisfied customer for the past few years and why I intend to keep on calling Froman Renovations for all of my home improvement needs.
Description of Work: Eric made several updates to our new home prior to move-in. He installed tile in the mud room, 1st floor bath and second floor master bath. New attic pull-down steps were installed. New master bath vanity with faucet and plumbing updated. Wall between kitchen and dining room was removed and walls refinished. They also refinished the handrail on our staircase and stained it to match the steps. Beautiful work! After we moved in, Eric added insulation to get us up to code. The kitchen and utilitiy room faucets were updated along with our hot water tap in the kitchen. Most recently, we had the baseboard installed on the first floor in all rooms, along with the master bath on the 2nd level. A linen cabinet was installed in the master bath, and we had new ceiling tiles and can lights installed in our finished basement. We also purchased a used swing set for our children, and Froman Renovations totally rebuilt the base of the set to make it sturdy and safe. They even leveled the ground underneath when replacing the floor boards so the set would sit evenly on our sloped backyard.

The work turned out very well. They did a fine job. The owner of the company is always there when work is being done. In general, they seem to be very particular about the work that they do. The quality of work is very good, but the price is a little high. We chose them because they were on Angie?s List and had very good ratings. I would use them again in the future; we are actually going to be continuing doing some more work with them.

My husband and I found Eric through my sister, who hired him to do some work in her former house. We are seriously lucky to have a good working relationship with this guy and his company. We hired him seven months ago to build a backporch onto our house and it turned out beautiful! (You can check out the pics under the "porches" link. The great thing about Froman Renovations is that they do just about everything--from small jobs to big projects. Eric is basically an all-in-one handyman--which is nice because we don't have to call separate workers--plumber, electrician, carpenter, etc. Instead, we have a good relationship with one company which is so nice! And speaking of nice, Eric and company are a really nice group of guys. What's more important than the fact that they are nice is that they are honest. Eric will tell you exactly what you need and what you don't need. He doesn't try to upsell you or sell you services you just don't need. If he thinks you can do the work yourself and save a few bucks, he lets you know that, too. He charges a fair price....and did I say that he's a really nice guy? We also just had Eric come back to replace our hot water tank just today (2/12/11) and we are having him come back in March to work on our electrical. And I'm positive we'll be using him many, many more times in the future. Oh- he did a good job with the insulation, BTW.
Description of Work: Eric inspected our attic and determined that we needed added insulation. He added R-30 insulation to our attic to achieve R-49 value. He also installed a hose for the bath fan.

The work went extremely well and both my wife and I were quite happy with the results. THE QUOTE: We had received quotes from multiple companies. Froman Renovations was the final company we contacted for a quote. Eric Froman (owner of Froman Renovations) returned my call quickly (within a day) and even worked with my schedule to get in a consultation as quick as possible (scheduled for 7 pm since I do not get home from work until later in the evening). He was extremely friendly and professional. Out of all the companies we talked to, he was the only one that took me through step-by-step what needed to be done. He checked out the problem area in the nook were the water had been leaking from, checked out the roofing and attic ventilation from the outside, and then we went up into the attic and he showed me the problem areas and talked through a variety of options we had. He also told me that he will be at every job that is done. We received a quote from him in an e-mail after a couple days and decided to go with him due to both his price and professionalism. THE JOB: Even though Eric was getting booked up for the month due to the fact that everybody wanted insulation work completed before the end of the year (when the tax credit would be over), he worked with my schedule and got us in as quickly as possible. He scheduled the work for an early Saturday morning, which worked perfectly for us. He arrived exactly on time along with his crew. Eric worked quickly and was very friendly during the work, showing me exactly what he was doing. He first worked on the venting needed for the bathroom fan, then he went through and blew in additional insulation into the attic (which consisted of filling some empty floor areas and adding it to other areas in the attic that had older insulation). He then cut the trapdoor into our kitchen ceiling and checked to see if there was any damage that had been done due to the leakage. Luckily there was no mold or bad water damage in the nook attic. He also discovered that the nook roof did not need any additional insulation. We would just need to fix the damage done to the walls (little bit of spackle and repaint). TOTAL TIME: About 4 hours RESULT: We have already had a few bad snowstorms since he completed the work, but we have had no problems with ice dams or leaking. We have also noticed a difference in the temperature in the house. The second floor is much warmer (making my wife quite happy - she hated how cold it used to be upstairs when the temperatures outside dropped to 20 or below). The gas bill for heating the house has also gone down (making me happy). We were very happy with Eric Froman and Froman Renovations and would definitely refer him to friends. His company also focuses on complete home care (from major renovations to minor repairs and upkeep) which we will definitely take advantage of since our house was built in the 1940's and will need further work done in the future.
Description of Work: PROBLEM: Bad ice dams had formed on the roof during the previous 2 winters, causing water to leak into the kitchen. NEEDED: We needed to have further insulation added to the attic and have the bathroom exhaust fan (which was blowing directly into the attic) vented outside of the house. We also needed a trapdoor cut into the kitchen nook ceiling (in the closet) to see if there was any damage done to the lower roof located above the kitchen nook and to see if it needed any further insulation work done.

We were very pleased with his estimates and concerns and finished work. When we asked him about some other work we thought we needed done he said the doors were fine and did not try to get us to do work that was not necessary. I will use him again. I found him through Angie's List and would definitely recommend him.
Description of Work: Replaced a built in shower in our rental. Found plumbing problems which we thought might be the case. The fixtures in the wall were over 20 years old. Replumbed and solved the problem about putting in the shower in a small, t ight space in a Victorian upstairs apartment we rent. Also, fixed the roof area on the porch of another rental apartment where squirrels were eating away and getting into the siding.

These guys did an exceptional job! The job ran about 8 days total. They worked every day from about 7 a.m. to 6 p.m until the job was finished with only short breaks for lunches. They even worked through the rain one day. On top of that, they were professional and very friendly. They seem to really enjoy their work and it shows in the final product. They cleaned up every day and at the end of the project. We are incredibly pleased with our new beautiful backporch. We are planning on having a shed built next summer and will not hesitate to call Froman Renovations--Eric, Mike, and Aaron, and Doug for that project, too. We can't say enough about these guys!
Description of Work: Froman Renovations built a back screened porch addition to our home--size 16 by 16 with a side 4 ft. deck with railings. They also took out our windows and replaced with french doors leading onto the porch, mounted a ceiling fan and ran electrical for the fan and three outlets. Installed gutters and a rain barrel, too.

They showed up on time and were very professional. I was particularly impressed with the state of things after they left...no mess! They were quick, made every effort to minimize the noise (we have a 1 year old who needs her naps), and the price cannot be beat (they were half the cost of every other estimate). These guys are fantastic.
Description of Work: They roughed out the plumbing in our basement for a shower and sink. They excavated the floor, put in the plumbing, and laid concrete.

I was so impressed with everything they did from start to finish. Eric never cuts corners and is always honest and up front about the best way to handle a job. His team cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day, and kept me up to date with what they were doing and why. I would trust this guy and his team with any home improvement job. I have already recommended him to my family and friends with no reservations.
Description of Work: We hired Eric and his team to perform several updates in our home: blow in more insulation, add vents along the roof, replace a loose and outdated railing in our loft area, install a ceramic floor in one of our bathrooms, finish off tile and trim in the same bathroom, install a thermostat, some carpentry work and install a light fixture at the top of our cathedral ceiling.

They did an excellent work. They were on time and they completed the work. They were honest; they did not use as much insulation as they thought they would in the estimate so they deducted that amount.

I hired them because they had a high rating on Angie s list. The proprietor came over and told me exactly what he thought that I needed, and what it would cost. I set up an appointment about a week later, and they sent a guy over. This person specialized in renovations for older homes, and he was terrific. He went out of his way to make sure that there wasn t any damage to the walls or ceilings, which is remarkable. They used very high quality products that have a reputation for lasting a long time. I was just very happy all the way around with the work that they did, and it came out exactly as I wanted. It seemed to me that their price was fair.
Description of Work: It was really a partial renovation, as I used them for plumbing in the bathtub upstairs, and to also get the bathroom grating working again.

He did a wonderful job. He checked with me along the way to make sure that I was comfortable with the budget. He listened to my ideas. He was very flexible and easy to work with and I will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: He finished up what another contractor didn't do right. He also found some other things that needed to be addressed. He installed vents in the attic for proper ventilation. In the basement, he installed a dehumidifier and installed vents for air flow. He replaced the shower head and caulked in a master bathroom and installed a vent there. He installed a kitchen sink and counter top. He did stay within the budget and did not do anything that was not necessary.

Response from FROMAN RENOVATIONS
THIS AL MEMBER E-MAILED A CHORE LIST TO US. WE REPLIED WITH THE APPROXIMATED PRICING AND EXPLAINED THAT WE WOULD NEED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT IN ORDER TO GIVE AN OFFICIAL PROPOSAL. THIS IS THE PROCESS WE GO THROUGH WITH ALL CUSTOMERS, AS WE NEVER WANT TO QUOTE SOMETHING BLINDLY AND THEN HAVE AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER WHEN THE COSTS CHANGE FOR ANY REASON. WE ALSO INCLUDED OUR PHONE NUMBER AND REQUESTED THEIRS SO THAT WE COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE MEMBER THEN REPLIED ASKING FOR SOLID PRICES ON A COUPLE ITEMS SELECTED FROM THEIR CHORE LIST THAT THEY WANTED COMPLETED AT THIS TIME. THE MEMBER, AGAIN, DID NOT GIVE US A PHONE NUMBER TO CONTACT THEM. WE AGAIN E-MAILED THAT WE NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. WE DID NOT HEAR FROM THE MEMBER AGAIN AND CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY THAT THEY WERE SHOPPING FOR LOW PRICES AND WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE. AT FROMAN RENOVATIONS WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON THE FACT THAT MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE REPEAT CUSTOMERS AND THAT THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH WITH US TO CALL FOR ANY JOB, LARGE OR SMALL, KNOWING THAT WE WILL COME THROUGH. WE HAVE ONE CUSTOMER, IN PARTICULAR, WHOM CALLS FOR CHANGING OUT LIGHT FIXTURES AND FOR OTHER MISCELLANEOUS "HANDYMAN" JOBS. WE APOLOGIZE THAT THIS MEMBER WAS DISSATISFIED, BUT TO GIVE US AN "F" SCORE WHEN THEY NEVER EVEN CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN ACTUAL ESTIMATE NOR DID THEY GIVE US THEIR PHONE NUMBER SO WE COULD REACH THEM IS SEVERE.

He has a lot of skill that I needed. It was great value for me to have one person who could do so many things. The floors are what are selling this house, they look so great!
Description of Work: He has a specialty in concrete work, decorative, color and stamping. I called him for concrete repair of a slab that I had color and stamping on. I also called because I knew that there was hardwood flooring underneath this carpet from the 1950's and in fact there was. He pulled up all the staples and made the floor look great! He also does all kinds of handyman services.
