Right Choice Remodeling

I am writing this review hoping that others can avoid the agonizing experience that I had with Richard Erdman of Right Choice Remodeling.

I hired him in July 2015 to remodel my porch, based on recommendations I had seen online. When the job was completed there were constructions errors, missed commitments, scheduling failures, cost overruns, and broken promises. Mr. Erdman always had an excuse or an explanation, as if they were due to my shortcomings rather than his. He was not customer focused.

I lost all confidence and trust in his ability to complete the job correctly, on time, and within budget. I hired another contractor to complete the job and informed Mr. Erdman that I would no longer be using his services. Then began the hardships and injustice I was subjected to by Richard Erdman. Mr. Erdman demanded payment $1,600 for window installation that was originally planned but that he would not be doing, and for materials he had claimed he had purchased. He never produced the receipts for those materials despite three requests from me. He threatened to place a mechanic's lien on my home and to sue me for $5,000+ for breach of contract. On October 7, 2015 he received my check for $2,500 and agreed upon that amount for materials purchased and for release of contract. That amount included the payment for windows that were not installed. He still failed to give me the requested receipts or the release form.

I paid the new contractor and a mason a total of $10,036 for the work which was include solving the following problems that Mr. Erdman created:
1. Two customer windows and a custom door were incorrectly sized
2. Three concrete steps were poured with riser heights of 6 inches, 6.5 inches, and 9 inches.
3. Mr. Erdman ordered $1,500 worth of extra materials from a supply store. The store is more than a 1 hour drive from my home, so they would not come to retrieve the materials. My new contractor charged me $210 to return them.

In summary, Mr. Erdman failed to perform per contract, inappropriate threatened and intimidated me, and took advantage of me as a home owner and a customer.

Richard was punctional and very responsive.   He explained all the steps in detail and was always available to answer questions.   He provided photos of work in progress and checked in with me regularly.   His work was completed professionally and within the deadlines we discussed.   I was very satisfied with the work he completed.

The work was phenomenal! It looks great and Rich and his son take great care to get things right. Very courteous guys who call and let you know ahead of time exactly when they'll arrive, which is something we're not use to with contractors, quite frankly. The price was much lower than any other bids we received.

Communication was terrific. Work ethic is terrific. Workmanship was terrific.

After countless estimates and proposals from other contractors, I met with Rich and walked him through the extensive work that had to be done to the foreclosure my husband and I purchased in March of 2014. Rich was the only contractor that came back with a detailed list of all the jobs as well as itemized pricing per job at a very reasonable price. Because of the significant work that had to be done to the house - Rich worked on the house between May 2014-October 2014. (we recently re-hired him to come back and build a wooden walkway for outside the house which he is working on as I type this.) Richs dedication to his craft as well as his solid work ethic impressed many of my neighbors whom contracted him out for their own home projects as well as my parents who hired them to do work on their house. No job is too big or too small for Rich to handle. As long as he has his coffee and water throughout the day - he will work from sun up to sun down! I highly recommend Right Choice Remodel for all of your home improvement needs!

Rich was on-time, professional, on budget and extremely considerate of my parents at every step of the process.  He also took the time to keep me updated (I live out of state) on the project.  And the quality of work was first rate.

. Installed new bath surround , tub , floor , paint .light fixtures , woodwork , insulation , sheet rock  and trim .plus a few other odd job s in my apt. BEAUTIFUL JOB.QUALITY WORK .BEST PRICES

Explained our vision to Rich and boy; did he deliver.  Our reading room shelving project required  a wall that wouldl house five sconces that will overlook the shelves.  Rich measured, cut and built us a soffit for our lighting . Professional, on time and great at what he does. He even help us pick out the lumber for our shelves.
We couldn't have been more pleased with the finished product.

We were very happy with the work Rich did for us.  He was very insightful and full of ideas.  He laid all our options out and explained everything in detail.  He was always punctual and returned calls promptly.  We have already contacted him to do more work for us and will continue to use him in the future.

When we moved in our house in 2007, the raised back deck had railings that were scary.  Virtually no protection for small children.  Was not a big deal since I had teenage children but we always wanted to fix it.  Finally, when we had our very young niece and nephew visiting, we decided the time was right to make this deck safer. 
We asked Rich to replace the rails with one of those pricey cable rail systems.  He did all the research to determine cost, design constraints, specificiations etc.  He quote a fair price and we asked him to get the job done before our visitors arrived and he worked hard to get the rails fully installed before the kiddies arrived.  He has a good eye for design and made suggestions that improved the asthetics of the deck.  The work done was of high quality.  We were thrilled.
We also asked him to paint the front deck on the house.  He again quoted a fair price and the work was done in a high quality fashion. 
Rich did a great job and we love the end result!!!
We ran into delays with the town permit.  Rich handled all interactions with town, addressed all requirements by the town and successfully worked with the town to get permit and then C.O.
BTW: we love the cable systems since it presevered our view from the deck but it is not for the faint of heart.  The material is expensive compared to normal railings.

Rich is the absolute best! He does amazing work. Professional, knowledgable, trustworthy and very hardworking. He can handle any job without issue. I am so happy with the work that he did!! Everything came out better then expected.

It went well.  He is very professional and reasonable in his price.

The design and contruction was performed within the time frame and cost as specified in the contract. He was also very helpful in suggesting small changes to enhance the construction, charging only for material costs but performing this work within the original estimate.
I would rate the quality of the work as excellent.
The contractor kept me informed on the progress of the building and was punctual with regard to his personal schedule.
I would definitely recommend this contractor for his professionalism and expertise.

He is wonderful. He was professional, licensed and insured. He showed up on time and cleaned up after himself. I would recommend him and use him again.
