Description of Work: I needed them to do a quote for a house remodel in a two day window. They came out and got information and talked to me and within a few days I had my quote. I ended up not needed them after all but due to our circumstances and not theirs. They were very nice and prompt.

Description of Work: They did the job of removing the popcorn from the ceiling and were to put up light texture to 3 rooms. What was done was very heavy texture all rooms with a great deal of overspray which went over a wood beam and down all the walls in the living room. The kitchen ceiling was not flat, it had several high and low areas. They did not smooth over the ceiling just textured heavy over it. They were asked to correct the ceiling in the kitchen by the contractor and did not. They were asked to correct the problems and said no. They left that day and the mess behind them. The contractor made good on their work and redid the entire kitchen. The third room was to have the wallpaper removed and textured like the other rooms in the house. The walls of the 3rd room is very uneven in the application of the texture on the walls, flat in strips and heavy texture in others. Supposed to be light texture on ceiling and again was very heavy. The ceiling looks like I have popcorn all over again. I am not happy with their work and the mess they made and the extra time the contractor had to do to correct and finish the job and clean up the outside patios and driveway, because they didn't do the job right the first time. With having to do the clean up and redo the kitchen the extra time added an addition 13 working days to the job. Also with the mess they left in my bathroom was completely unacceptable. Flushing is required after use.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! Very unprofessional. Set multiple appointments to meet at my home and did not show up. I tried calling 30 minutes after the scheduled appointment I called to find out the reason for the no show. The phone was answered and the person on the other end hung up. When I tried to call back, I was sent to voicemail. Never received a phone call or message with any form of apology or explanation.
Description of Work: Completely wasted my time.

Bruce was very thorough throughout the process insuring that the source of the leak was identified and corrected. He came when he said he would and completed the work on schedule. He is a person with integrity, which is evident in working with him. He is also very pleasant and his pricing is very fair. I could not be more pleased with the finished product and wholeheartedly recommend him. I do plan on using him on future projects.
Description of Work: Completed all of the carpentry associated with a dormer window leak. Replaced rotted wood, caulked and repainted the affected area. Pulled window out and tested for leaks before reinstalling.

When I wrote the review above the contractor had not finished installing the baseboard trim or the trim around the fireplace.?? He has never returned or tired to call me.?? I paid $900.00 for this portion of the job and it has never been done.? The only trim he installed was some that he took of when he installed the floor.?? I have had other flooring companies do work for me and they always put on new trim.? I initially give them a good report and the owner called me and thanked me but he has never finished the job.
Description of Work: Bruce came out evaluate the job of removing and replacing all of the flooring in my house. He was very helpful in planning the replacement. He was able to provide a better grade of flooring for less money that I had found at Home Depot. He removed the old flooring placing it all in a dumpster and even removed some waste that I had which was not part of the job. I was out of town for much of the time he was working on the job so he sent me text messages keeping me up to date and asking questions as the job progressed. He is a special contractor and would use him again.

We made an appointment with Bruce for an estimate... we made sure we were at home at the appointed time waiting for him - after the appointment time had ... left a message. Several minutes after my call an e-mail comes through - stating something came up for him and he was not coming! There is no excuse under the Sun for standing someone up it is rude and unprofessional! You can always call ahead of time and let them know you are not going to be able to make your appt. you do NOT just stand then up! The message/e-mail that came through did not come through until after my attempted phone call trying to find out where he was. I think that call must have triggered him to send the e-mail because of the review availability on Angie's List!. He needs to change the name of his business from Reliable to Unreliable and Rude!
Description of Work: He stood us up!

Response from Reliable Renovations
Bruce said that when he talked to you on the phone about rescheduling, you told him that he had already been out there the day prior (he hadn't), and that you had already hired someone.

The owners were pretty easy to work with. They were reliable. I recommend this company for small jobs. We ended up doing a lot of the work they were supposed to do.

Reliable Renovations gave me a quote which is a little bit high. I actually went with somebody else which was a little bit lower. They gave me the quote and everything and then they had listed on Angie's List a $250 rebate because of being on Angie's List and they wouldn't give us that. They said "we already gave you our lowest quote so I thought that's bait and switch. He says "we've been meaning to get it off Angie's List" We actually called them and we were going to go with them.

Bruce Talamantes called the city to have the utility lines marked. Once that was done, he dug the holes for the poles to be placed. The poles were secured with cement on that day. The next day he came back to construct the top of the pergola which was an all day project. The following day he came back to put metal wiring across the top to allow the vines to cover the top of the pergola. Clean up was done and we now have a beautiful pergola in our back yard.
Description of Work: We had a large pergola constructed in our back yard.

I thought it went great. They did what they said they would do, when they would do it and they did it faster than I expected. They cleaned it up and I would use them again. I think they were very efficient. The important thing was they did what they said would do. When they said they were coming, that is when they started and I find it very fast, faster than I was expecting. They would clean up and they did a very good job with that. The price was better than I was expecting.

Reliable Renovations (Bruce and Tamara) came in with great ideas on modernizing the feel and maintaining the structural integrity of the house. They were very professional and helped us keep the cost down. They were friendly and honest. They were able to start demolition in the living room/dining room/kitchen within a week and had completed all projects in two weeks. The house looks great with the new open floor plan. We are able to get more rental income due to these improvements and we will make our money back in no time. We plan on using them again for updating the bathrooms in the rent house in the near future. We highly recommend Reliable Renovations and plan on using them for future projects on our residence as well.
Description of Work: We wanted to open up the kitchen to the dining and living room in our rent house. We also had wood laminate flooring installed and painting throughout the house.

Electrical work, drywall & texture The laminate flooring and painting was done in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway and three bedrooms.
