I love this company. Everyone one I came into contact with from the gentleman who came to give me an estimate, the woman who helped me with the designs and spent a super long time with me on picking out the materials I wanted (not her fault- it was mine- I couldn’t make up my mind), to the men who came out to complete the work- were all wonderful/nice/respectful. Every part of the job was gone over with me. They put up with my crazy dog and were very nice about it. Very responsive to any questions. I love the shower it is so nice to stand and move around in it and not hear creaking noises. The toilet installed is just the right height. I know I picked the paint color- but it looks fabulous. They were kind enough to also let me know about some other issues I needed to fix in the attic that I would have never known I needed to repair. Excellent workmanship. I would and have recommended this company to others.

Everything they do is an "A". It took him a couple hours because he had to go back and get a piece he didn't have on his truck. He was professional and did what he had to do. I was very satisfied.

From the very beginning, their GM, Steven Kern, suggested options for the cabinetry that would be more aligned with my budget; so, rather than replacing or refinishing cabinets, we discussed adding crown molding instead. They had molding that matched my "spice maple" cabinets perfectly...including a corner section that was slightly darker than the rest. In addition, their designer and reviewed a wide range of flooring, glass front and backsplash options, and she gave me a few samples to take home so I could see them at home under different lighting...she even found a few medallions left over from another job that she thought could be great focal points behind the stove. In addition, the installation crew was friendly, on time, and efficient as well. In the end, my project came in on time and WELL UNDER budget...and it's gorgeous!
Description of Work: I had my kitchen remodeled -- including updating the cabinetry, adding a backsplash and replacing flooring -- and the flooring was for an adjoining kitchen/dining/sunroom area. All on a modest budget ($12,000), with appliances purchased separately.

The plumber was on time, cleaned up behind himself, fixed the problem (leak) and gave suggestions. I don't have a lot of experience with plumbers but I suppose the price was reasonable. I was very pleased with the service provided and his professionalism. I will most likely be contacting them for drywall repair in the near future.

On Sept 29 the garbage disposal job was completed very quickly. When bathroom sink job was started, they had to continue it over into the 30th because of the heavy rainfall. Worker needed to get on roof to run snake into pipe. Since he did not want to risk injury, we had to wait until then. Overall the worker was very efficient and professional. I would highly recommend this company for service.

I requested R. J. Tilley's services for a small leak on the main water line coming into the house and found it could not be corrected by tightening hardware. I placed the call at 4:30 PM, which is after normal service hours. Their plumber was on-site by 6:30 PM. He was able to correct the problem in less than an hour by turning off the water at the street then re-doing the plumbing connection with a new hardware piece and sealer. We've used R. J. Tilley several times in the past also with excellent results. While they may charge more for services than some other plumbers we have used, they are reliable and very professional.

I'm not sure you have the right company for work done in February, 2014. Our records indicate we have not worked for you since 2011. Records indicate there was no problem for 2011 work. It is our goal to make sure our customers are satisfied with the work completed. I hope this was the case in 2011.

I can't say enough about the professionalism of this company. They were knowledgeable and skilled. Their employees were very professional and friendly. They did a great job on the shower repair and were very thorough in cleaning up afterward. We will never use another plumbing company again. You can't do better than R.J. Tilley.
Description of Work: A company that performed a bathroom remodeling jog for us did a very shoddy job. The shower leaked into a finished basement. We called R.J. Tilley to do the repair. They discovered that the remodeling company failed to install a drain pan in the shower seat. The R.J. Tilley employees tore out all the tile in the lower part of the shower, and took up the membrane. Then they installed a new membrane and drain pan and retiled.

plumbing, septic tank
  + 0 more
At the third visit they said the septic tank for the washing machine was the problem and advised hooking up the washing machine drainage to the main septic tank. They failed to get a permit and now, when we are trying to sell the house, we have found out that the work they did has put us in violation of the septic codes for Chesterfield County. The correction of the problem will cost $2100-2500 and they will not take any responsibility for this. A potential buyer signed a contract for my mother's house but is probably going to back out over this septic issue. So, not only will I be out the money to do the repairs but I have lost the sale of the house. Now I have lost the sale of the house as of 10/6/2014.

We responded to a service call to unstop a drain for a washing machine on February 22,2010. We cleaned the drain and tested and it drained fine. We were called back two days later for the same issue. We returned at no charge to try to unstop the line again. After more testing we determined the drain box and drain fields were full and not usable. The box was under a concrete patio. We told the customer they could try to wait to see if the drain fields would dry so they could use the washer. Customer called back two weeks later still unable to use the washing machine. The homeowner and we agreed to add washing machine to main septic system and it has been working for over 4 years. In our investigation we find Chesterfield county is the only jurisdiction we work in that requires additional drain fields. The next step would be to call a septic contractor. We have recommend a septic contractor to the owner. The county will need to adjust occupancy or add another drain field or two. There is no fee for the county to assess the home and make recommendations. The county also states these options would have been the same four years ago. The homeowner was only charged for the plumbing service provided. They were never charged for any septic work. We regret that you are facing an issue with this home sale.

The bathroom was the first room to begin the transformation and the crews were always on time and very careful to lay down a nice almost carpet like padding from the front door, down the hall and into the bathroom. This protected flooring extremely well and was swept and rolled up by each crew each day so as to not interfere in our home anymore than necessary. We were asked which bathroom the crews might be instructed to use and they protected the floor in that room as well. We were very pleased with the constant attention to keeping the house as clean as possible the two months work was being done. When kitchen appliances were positioned in the living room masonite sheets were brought in to protect our hardwood floors. Each sub-contractor (tile/floor/electrical) were just as respectful and extremely skillful impressing us with attention to detail and desire to please. We were always asked for specific preferences whenever possible making the entire job custom made. One example was the grab bar placement when I was asked to stand in the shower and my hand/arm was measured for the proper height. We were glad we were here and could answer these questions since they would potentially delay progress. As we moved through the renovations we encountered issues like old pipes that leaked down to the basement ceiling. Once discovered R J Tilley had additional workman within the hour to open the ceiling locate the problem and replace the leaking pipe. The ceiling was left open for several days to fully dry and then patched so you couldn't even tell it was ever open. We also discovered the half bath toilet seal was leaking and the pipe badly aged and R J Tilley "fixed that" too. Whenever a issue came up we were notified and multiple solutions were presented. Once a decision was made corrective actions were taken. Our kitchen was a real challenge due to the quartz counter tops forcing the new design to match the counter tops. Ultimately the challenge was met and the outcome was extremely satisfying. The flooring personnel were quite impressive showing real attention to spending over an hour prior to laying the first 16 x 16 vinyl tile hoping to be able to lay a full tile the full length of the four areas. They successfully mastered the flooring and the diagonal placement looks extremely nice. We were duly impressed. The entire job was impressive and I could go on and on. From the very beginning R J Tilley's approach with prelimary in home visit, meeting with designer in their own showroom and working for approximately two months in our home was a positive experience. If I were to say anything negative it would be the kitchen cabinets not being of top quality. I know we should have researched those more thoroughly however; we asked for white and that does limit choices to some degree. Two cabinets arrive damaged and three doors were warped. All these issues were corrected at no additional expense to our full satisfaction. These issues were not caused by R J Tilley but they "can fix that" and they did. The reconciliation of funds afforded us a refund which we then applied to ordering additional shelves and an electrical outlet in the half bath with hopes of some day buying a second washlet toilet seat. If you want a company who cares and really works hard to make things right you should use R J Tilley. They hold true to their slogan "we can fix that".
Description of Work: Total remodel of Master Bathroom removing the 1960's bathtub and installing an easy walk-in shower. Installed new ceramic tile shower with a seat, grab bar and niche along with European glass doors. Installed ceramic tile flooring and wainscoting to complete a sophisticated glamorous look to our outdated bathroom. Two new vanities with quartz counter tops, a wider door opening, and a new door. A Toto toilet with washlet seat provides a pleasing and healthy bathroom for a sunset years. We also had our kitchen fully renovated with new cabinets and flooring. R J Tilley was challenged with removing our two year old quartz counter tops and they successfully removed and re-installed without damage which totally thrilled us. The flooring went from the kitchen to garage landing and extended through the laundry room ending in the half bath where a new Toto toilet was also installed.

The project was a difficult one. My upstairs shower leaked down through my kitchen ceiling. David came the first time and replaced the drain in the shower, which was an old plastic one that had the grooves covered in putty, with a new one. After installing the new drain, it still leaked and it was discovered that the base of the shower (don't know how old the one-piece shower was) by the drain was uneven causing the water to slowly drip under the drain cover, and a fiberglass serviceman was needed to fix it. R.J. Tilley made arrangements to have the fiberglass serviceman come out and, together with David, repaired the defective fiberglass making it even which stopped the leaking. Although it was a frustrating time, R.J. Tilley stuck with it, and made sure that the leak was fixed, and was very professional in their dealings with me. I would not hesitate to use them again.
