Richardson's Renovations Inc

It went well. Repairs were done quickly and well. This was the third time I had used this company.
The first was in 2005 when I had a master bath changed to a handicapped one for my husband. In addition, the master bedroom was painted, wall-to-wall carpet pulled out of the bedroom, hall, and entry and ceramic tile laid to make wheelchair movement easier. It was a major project requiring design consultations, a half wall and a sunken tub to be torn out, plumbing and floor issues involving roots resolved, and mistakes by a previous remodeler corrected. The new bathroom included safety bars, a rimless shower, two sinks, new lighting and a ceiling fan, new cabinets in bathroom and adjacent closet, and a water saving handicapped toilet with a high-end Toto electronic toilet seat that cleans and dries the human using it. The cost was $38,000. Time was an issue as the bathroom needed to be done as quickly as possible. Mike provided alternatives from which to choose with reasons for their choice and kept us updated on delays and the reasons for them.
In 2009 I had Mike update the rest of the house at a cost of $28,000. Ceilings had been damaged over the years by rain and their replacement exposed problems with insulation. The rest of the wall-to-wall carpet was torn out and ceramic tile, that matched what had been put in in 2005, installed in all rooms. All walls were patched and painted. Some new electric outlets installed. Cabinetry was refreshed by deep cleaning. In the hall bath the original plastic tub all-in-one was replaced with a cast iron tub and a ceramic tile surround with a safety bar. I also had new lighting, counters, mirror, and a water saving toilet put in. The laundry room was reconfigured with a new style washer and dryer, and a sink was added. It has been long enough that I have probably forgotten other projects that were completed in both the first remodel and this one.
I know well that in remodeling one never knows what will come up. It is often issues of and quot;As long a you're doing this, you might as well do that.and quot; In all my dealings with him, Mike has presented choices and recommendations and has kept me fully informed of what was happening.

In the end, I just wanted the jerks out of my house. The owner sent workers, some who did not speak English, and they were often found and quot;taking a breakand quot;. They did not want to remove the ceiling fan to make the ceiling texture uniform and textured only 2/3 of that room. When I pointed it out to the owner, he tried to accuse me of telling him I asked to have it that way (they eventually fixed it but my cost was coincidentally higher overall). The workers also did not put electrical outlets where I said I wanted them. They left them in the same place, so after the remodel there are no outlets by one of the kitchen counters. The workers threw away the piece of sheet rock that covers the attic access and when I demanded a new one, one was left in my driveway that did not fit. The job took much longer than I was promised and I was laid-off my job before it was finished. In the end, I owed a little over $300 and asked if I could pay over the next few months and the owner was not pleasant about it. Finally, the last $30 I owed him led to him threatening to take me to collections. I could barely buy food.

The job was done quickly and the workmanship was top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs this type of services.
