I would like to recommend Total Renovating for your basement remodeling needs. They were extremely responsive on estimates and getting the work quickly started. All inspections were arranged and handled in a timely manner. The crew did excellent quality work and the basement looks great. Total Renovating exceeded my expectations.

We had an amazing experience with Total Renovating LLC for our basement finishing and remodel! From start to finish, they helped us stay within our budget while still delivering top-notch quality. Their showroom made it easy to choose flooring and tile, which was a huge help in bringing our vision to life. The entire crew was professional, respectful of our property, and incredibly friendly with our two young boys, which made the process so much smoother. They also gave us the space we needed while working efficiently to complete the project. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result—a beautiful new basement space complete with a legal bedroom (including an egress window)/office, full bathroom, and gym that is all up to code. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and customer-focused team for your home renovation, we highly recommend Total Renovating LLC!

Russell Blake from Total Renovating did a great job on my kitchen remodel. From start to finish, the whole process was relatively painless and headache free. He got the initial design perfect on the first try and applied it seamlessly to my space. His workers were very courteous and mindful of the home they were working in. Russell would also show up on site any time I requested it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the work performed.

Total Renovating Total Renovating was the answer to our prayers; I was in a bind and was having doubts about whether we could sell our home unless something miraculous happened. I finished putting up drywall in my basement over Covid. I needed to pull the proper permits with the county. When my wife and I decided to sell our home, we reached out to the county, and they said unless we opened up all our walls and correctly installed fire stopping in compliance with the code, we would be in violation and unable to sell our home. We received estimates as low as 7k and as high as 34K. Total Renovating estimate was in the middle; more importantly, they were the only contractor who understood the scope of work and could meet our last-minute schedule. Total Renovating, from our initial introduction to the last payment received, was responsive, had a positive can-do attitude, was professional, punctual, and outperformed beyond my expectations. I canâ t express how stressed my wife and I were; they were a blessing to us. Please consider Russel and his team for any home project you may have. Hindsight, I wish I would have just called them instead of trying to do it myself.

We had a complicated bathroom remodel which required a complete overhaul of the layout of the bathroom. The owner, Russell, was able to help me come up with a design that would utilitize the space to the fullest. The moving of the toilet, plumbing, and electric required a county inspection which the company was not intimidated by and I was thankful to have a company that was licensed, insured, and willing to do what was required. They were also very accommodating when it came to the timeline as I had several required stops and starts. There were some complications with communication, lack of detail, and leaving things dirty by the work crew which did cause frustration during the process. However, Russell made sure everything was ultimately resolved and the end result was a beautiful bathroom that I was very happy with.

Effortlessly. Price was definitely competitive. The two things we like aside from the quality craftsmanship was: (1) personable; and (2) the rendering / virtual design studio. Total Renovating's virtual design studio allowed us to see it, like it/dislike it, change it, and make it our own before a dime was spent.

We're SO happy with our full master bathroom reno! We're first-time homeowners so had no idea what to expect for a project like this in terms of cost, process, timing, etc-- Russell guided us through the process and was responsive, helpful, and understanding the whole time, even when I kept changing my mind about things. All of the sub contractors (demo, tile, glass, plumbing, etc) throughout the project were super efficient, friendly and professional. Overall, Total Renovating was a joy to work with and provided excellent value-- we'll definitely be using them again when it comes time to do our guest bath and kitchen.

We had a fantastic experience with Total Renovating and would absolutely use their services again and recommend them to others. Russell and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He did a beautiful full kitchen remodel for us as well as two partial bath remodels, putting in a new window, siding repair and a couple smaller things around the house. He went above and beyond working with us even before the contract was signed to identify materials that we liked so that the estimate would be as accurate as possible, which we really appreciated as it was not something we got from the other contractors we were in talks with. He was also able to finish our kitchen on a much shorter timeline than the other bidders were estimating. Russell and his team were responsive, transparent and reliable throughout the process and we are extremely happy with the finished product!

Russell and his crew at Total Renovating did a superb job adding a new full bath and laundry room to our basement. In addition, they replaced our existing flooring with Laminate Vinyl Plank (LVP) throughout our house. As new homeowners of our 20+-year-old home, this was our first big renovation project, and we were nervous. But Russell and Tyron came through from day one. They offered a detailed design session, a thorough walkthrough of what the work would entail, consistent communication on change requests and questions, and prompt remediation of any issues that arose. Also included in this fantastic team are some very hardworking contractors/renovators who arrived on time and accommodated our schedule (we have a one-year-old) but also went the extra mile to work Saturdays to meet our project's timeline. Based on our experience with Total Renovating, my wife and I couldn't be happier and are already starting to plan our home's next project!

Russell & his team completely renovated both bathrooms in my condo a few months ago. They did such a great job, I had them totally renovate my kitchen as well! His team was very professional and timely with the work that was done! They replaced cabinets, floors & installed recess lights. Everything looks amazing! If you are looking for a company that has reasonable prices, is professional, and has great customer service, Total Renovating is who you want!

We hired Total Renovations to finish our basement. They were great to work with. They met all of our needs and worked within our budget. Communication was good, and Russell or Tyron would visit to check the progress and ensure the inspections went well at every step. All work was completed timely, and within the estimated timeline. Any questions or concerns were discussed and addressed. The quality of construction was excellent, even amongst the uneven poured concrete basement foundation walls. The studded walls are all plum and the drywall finish is smooth and clean. The basement remained very clean and tidy throughout the project. No lose materials and the floor was always swept clean. I was impressed with the level of care, even for our relatively small project. I would recommend Total Renovations for any projects and will be holding onto their info for our future projects.

We had a wonderful experience with Russell and Total Renovating. They remodeled our kitchen and put new flooring across our entire bottom floor, including having to take apart and re-install our bathroom to do so. They were fast and efficient but delivered high quality work. Our kitchen turned out even better than we could have imagined. They took us from a 1980's kitchen to a totally modern look that literally gets a "Wow!" from everybody who has seen it. Russell helped us tremendously from start to finish. He showed us exactly what our kitchen would look like, taking us step by step through each decision, and then directed us to each vendor for us to make our design choices. He was always available for any question we had along the way. His vendors are US-based so there was zero concern with the timing of materials. I felt very secure with him and the skilled workers he employs. The best part is that we really didn't feel that displaced during the whole renovation. They kept the house clean and took things one at a time so we always maintained some functionality while living there. I would (and have) highly recommend Total Renovating for any remodel. We hope to use them again when we want to redo our bathrooms in a few years!

Awesome experience with Total Renovating, LLC. Knowledgeable, responsive, considerate, patient, went above and beyond, informative, a true professional and fair. These are all qualities that were consistently adhered to when working with Russell and his team at Total Renovating, LLC. Having never gone through a home renovation process, we were a little bit skeptical as to which company we wanted to hire to undertake the task of transforming a two-story living room area in our home into a space which converted the upper portion into an additional bedroom. After an extensive search, we found Total Renovating , LLC and its owner, Russell. From day one, which was actually a few months before we hired him and his team, Russell was extremely pleasant to work with. I called and informed him of the task we were wanting to have completed, as well as the fact that we were new to this experience. He was very patient in explaining the entire process from start to finish. Once we had a signed contract between ourselves and Total Renovating, LLC, Russell took it from there. Whether it was obtaining architectural drawing designs, permits from the county, or the construction and clean up of the project, Russell and his team took care of every step along the way. Unlike some other companies that may be dismissive of your project if they feel that it wonâ t make them enough money, or are dismissive of your task altogether, Russell and his team were a complete joy and relief to work with. They are very punctual, as they show up on time, every time. And I mean EVERY TIME. Additionally, his crew made sure to do an excellent job cleaning up after each day of work. This was truly appreciated as we have a young child and a dog living in the house as it was being remodeled. In this market and with inflation being what it is, we all know that some companies may try to stiff their customers by engaging in price gouging here and there. That was not at all the case with Total Renovating, LLC. The price that they quoted us and signed for was what was adhered to. If anything came up in the project where a particular aspect needed to be changed or corrected based off of the initial assessment, Russell always made sure to reach out to us immediately to explain the reason as to why, as well as obtain permission to proceed. That particular point was extremely reassuring, whereas some other companies may just add extra work to your project without notifying you and then hit you with an inflated bill at the end. At no point in time did Russell ever try to oversell me on any aspect of the project, nor did he brush aside any issue that other companies may feel to be trivial. If we had a question or a concern, Russell had an answer or a solution. Russell and his team were able to take a vision that we had in our heads for our open space, and literally turn it into a reality. Additionally, we were able to add in some recessed lighting and ceiling fans along the way. The attention to detail that his crew invested into our project was above and beyond even our own expectations. It truly feels like we are living in a new house. If you have a task or project that youâ re thinking about having done with your home, we HIGHLY recommend that you chose to hire Russell and his team with Total Renovating, LLC. We guarantee that you will not be disappointed. We also guarantee that you will love the end result.
