Dreams To Reality

Everything went very well. It took a bit longer than expected, but with reasonable explanation. Bob takes pride in the work that he does.

Bob was extremely easy to work with. He was very professional and very upfront with all the applicable work he would be doing (or could end-up doing as a result of additional findings that weren't visible during the estimate). Anywhere wood or other materials needed to be replaced (as a result of existing damage), he did so at a reasonable cost. He kept us apprised of all work he was doing on a regular basis. All of the work was completed in a reasonable amount of time. We would absolutely recommend Dreams to Reality to our friends and neighbors.

Our staircase turned out beautiful. Bob and his assistance were wonderful to work with. There were a few times that choices needed to be made and Bob was able to lay out the choices/consequences of them in an easy to understand manner. We were able to make some changes as we went based on things that were uncovered (once the carpet came off) and the stairs turned out amazing. Definitely added $'s to the value of our home. I would recommend Bob and his team to anyone looking to so a remodeling project in their home. His depth of understanding, attention to detail and overall ethics are among the best in the business!

It didn't go at all

Not good. After the visit I waited a couple of weeks and no response. I called several times and was informed they were still working on the estimate. Then I was getting calls from sub contractors requesting information about the project. I called and spoke with Bob and asked why were they calling me and his response was that he wanted to make sure they got the information straight from me. I explained to him that no other contractor has had their sub contractors call me for information and that I had provided him with all the information needed for the project. My point is if sub contractors are calling me for information then what the heck is the job of the contractor.

Bob and Sarah were great to work with. Honest. Flexible. Communicated well. They work hard and take pride in doing things correctly. By choice, homeowner did most of tear out, sourced most of the materials and painted. They offered to work on an hourly basis and I was welcome to work along side of them where I could.

If I were rating the contractor himself, I would give him an "A" or a "B". The problem was his sub contractor didn't work very well. The sub contractors came 2 or 3 times and measured and asked us what kind of cabinets we wanted and everything. When they delivered them, they didn't fit. It took them like 3 tries to get them to all fit. I was happy with the main contractors work. He could maybe get a better sub contractor. He could not of known that because he has used them before. It's just that they screwed up this job. He didn't arrive until 9 or 9:30 in the morning and he took long lunch hours. I felt like if he had put more hours on the job, he would of got done sooner. On the other hand, the problems with the sub contractors might of kept him from getting the job done sooner anyways.

All of the work was done perfectly.

The finished result is beautiful! Dreams to Reality really brought my house out of the sixties. I love to cook and I now have a kitchen that is functional for cooking. It is also a very beautiful space. I had lots of ideas about what I wanted to see done in my home and they made my plans work. They even let me work alone with them so that I see how they did things and be apart of the change that was occurring in my home. My house is an older home and presented many stumbling blocks, not to mention what previous owners had done wrong. They were able to overcome all the issues and make my kitchen a modern, functional and welcoming space.

No problems. All work done in a timely manner. Contractor performed all labor and purchases with estimate given.

I selected Bob at DTR for my remolding job because he was highly recommended by my brother-in-law and very fairly priced. He is skilled and experienced in all aspects of home remolding, inside and out, and I wanted to hire one contractor for the multiple remodeling aspects that I needed. For the weeks that he worked on my house he was dedicated and focused on my job alone and did not try to work on other projects while mine was ongoing. He listened to what I wanted and always consulted with me when a decision had to be made, offering his expertise in the matter, but always leaving the decision up to me. In addition, Bob and Sarah at DTR are wonderful people. When you have a major remolding job that is going to take weeks to complete, it is an added benefit that the people that will be in your house for that extended period of time are trustworthy and pleasant to be around . If/when I need a contractor again, I would definitely hire DTR , without even soliciting an additional quote from another contractor. I highly recommend DTR.

They were easy to work with, worked diligently to achieve the results I wanted, mindful of my resources (time and money) and I actually hired them a 2nd and 3rd time for additional projects, and will do so again. Very pleased with results. Improvements to the house have significantly increased its value and my joy in living here.

Have not done remodel. But plan on using them when we are ready

They did very extensive tile work. Everything turned out really good. He's very courteous, kind and very professional. His workmanship is A+. He's very trustworthy, thoroughly shared all receipts pertaining to my work to make sure everything was okay with me.

There was a two week delay in the start date, however, once they started, they did not stop until the work was completed at 6:30pm on July 4, 2014. They did a great job cleaning up and putting everything back. I am very satisfied with the way that the basement now looks! It is bright and beautiful! I would hire them again.

Great. I called in the morning and Mr Lawrence called me right back. He came out and Looked at the job, gave me a price and came back in a few hours and completed the job. He did excellent work at a very fair price. Plus I got the Angies List discount. Overall a fantastic experience.

It went great, the awnings were painted beautifully. They have done great job on all jobs .. they even rushed over when pipes were leaking....great price and great people, very trustworthy! !

WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH ALL OF HIS WORK, IT WAS DONE PROMPTLY, WORKMANSHIP IS VERY GOOD,H IS DEMEANOR WAS GREAT, iT WAS CLEANED UP AFTERWARDS. I AM PLANNING FOR HIM TO DO SOME MORE WORK FOR ME.

A "simple" project in my 100 year old home became MUCH bigger than I could handle on my own! A change in flooring, suddenly included the need to replace the vanity. Since the paneling behind the existing vanity had been fit AROUND it, THAT needed to come down, and the plaster walls repaired! The ceiling tile and the exhaust fan needed to be replaced, too. I called on Dreams to Reality to help, since friends had assured me they would do it right! We worked together to determine the changes that were needed, the materials necessary for the job, and negotiated a cost, based on my budget (reason for no cost listed here). In an effort to update the bathroom, they also advised widening the doorway and changing the curved ceiling above the tub/shower to provide a "cleaner" look. Unfortunately, as demolition began, mold was found behind the ceiling tile! It was treated quickly and effectively, and the project continued. My input was taken seriously. They maintained an upbeat attitude, which helped mine! The bathroom looks totally different now...so much better than I could have done on my own! I would recommend them to anyone, for work backed by integrity!

The job was not easy. I remember having to coordinate between some city inspector and ameren in order to get evything accomplished but the job was done on time as promised.

The room was built quickly, painted, carpeted and ready to go very quickly. The job was done extremely well and they were very nice people to have working on my house. I will be in need of a roof soon and these will definitely be my top pick!

They did a very nice job. The job cost me about $8000. I explained what I wanted and they did what I wanted. They told me that the work would take about a week and completed the work on time. The price was very reasonable. I will use them again in the future.

Bob was extremely professional, yet personable. He came out to get a general idea of the project and then came back to make sur ehis original measurements were accurate. He presented the bid in a timely manner and went to work immediately after the bid was accepted. He allowed me to help with the tear-down which saved some money on the price of the project. The work was done efficiently and periodic updates and great attention to detail. He constantly kept me updated on their progress. He also had to rework some of the project due to inconsistency in the lumber. However, he did this at his expense without attempting to increase the price of the project. I belive that Bob was fair and a real pleasure to work with. Dreams to Reality is a trustworthy company and can be counted on to do a good job. They are also great people to talk with as well
