Overall I had a pleasant experience working with Ron Walker and his team. The work was completed on time, within budget, and produced the expected result. I would use them again in the future.

Ron and his crew were very helpful. He couldn’t do the things I most wanted to do because one was a lamp post that had fallen down-wood had been eaten away and he couldn’t do it. But it wasn't his fault. He was very easy to talk to. He did what he could do and it went well. He came right away. I would use him again for a reasonable price and I would make sure he could do the things I wanted.

Ron and 2 of his crew members showed up on time and it took about 4 hours to repair the ceiling in my living room and replaced the kitchen faucet. They did a terrific job and cleaned up everything. Ron gave estimate for couple of other projects in my house and will consider him for future projects.

It went fine, He did a good job. I used it shortly after I purchased it. He charged me a couple of bucks for parts that he had to put in. It looks nice.

Ron gave me a date that he would start the job and he stuck to it. He and his men were always friendly, polite and knowledgeable. They always cleaned up before they left. It was so clean that except for the actual changes in the room you wouldn't have known they had been there. I can say enough about Ron and his men. I will use them again in the future.

They damaged my home, and garage door. They did not take responsibility. And they left without resolving the issue.
Response from Ron Walker Home Improvements LLC
"I was quite surprised to see this review. The work involved power washing the driveway side of the house then stain it one coat. Stain the lower front section of the house. Spray moss killer on front roof shingles. Repair shed and stain left and front side one coat. Seal the driveway. At no time did you bring up any damage to your house or garage door to me or anyone of my three employees working there. you did comment on a couple of areas on the house you thought had been missed with the stain and we got the ladders back out and did those areas again right in front of you. Also you were supposed to be responsible for filling the cracks in the driveway prior to us sealing it. Due to your medical condition you were unable to complete this task and we did it for you at no additional charge. I would also like to mention the fact that you were not happy with the driveway once it was sealed so we did a second coat at no additional charge. Now I know we both live in the same private community of which I am the President of the community. And I would hope that the reason for this review has nothing to do with the law suit involving the community and the residents living on your road."

If you have to use him- if there is no other person who can install something or paint something or if you're positively desperate-
Do get a FIRM written estimate, otherwise he'll charge you whatever he wants.
Do ask him if he'll actually be doing the work. In our case he was unable to do the work himself and was simply the middleman, for which he padded the price, and then some.
Do not pay him until you are satisfied with the job. The person who did our job did not really finish, which we didn't notice until a few days later when we looked at it closely.
When we questioned his bill and gave him a chance to save face, his answer was "I do not give free estimates." That really made us mad as he had done other jobs for us and always gave free estimates.
We wanted to give the local guy (Ron Walker) the business, but he flat out didn't treat us well. No one deserves to be ripped off!
In the end, it was our own fault for trusting him and not getting a firm quote this time.
There are plenty of folks out there who can do work for you- choose someone else!

"I never said I don't give free estimates, I have given you free estimates in the past. I said I couldn't give you a quoted price because the work involved moving a kitchen recessed light fixture then patch any holes once the wiring was re-routed , sand and prime the patches. You were charged by the hour. I was there during the moving of the recessed light and changing the wiring. I then left my employee there to patch, sand and prime the areas on the ceiling. I have no idea where you come up with me out sourcing the job. He was and still is my employee. Out of all the categories on Angie's list to grade a business on, the only one you can honestly give a bad grade on is the price. And that is only because you did not like the fact it was more than you expected. You never contacted me about the job not being finished and I don't know why it would take you a couple of days later to notice this when your kitchen is something you see everyday. I notice you made no comment on the things I did for you in the past at no charge. Maybe your used to getting freebies."

Very professional from estimate to finish. I was going to remodel bathroom myself. After doing the demolition realized I was in over my head. Ron installed the shower, vanity, heated floor, floor tiles, towel warmer, and drywall and taping, and trim. Beautiful job, completed in the allotted time. I highly recommend.

I liked his attention to detail. The crew was courteous, friendly and he was prompt in his service. He also follows up quickly with any concerns or complaints after the project.

Ron Walker and his crew did a great job, performing all the work he had outlined in his proposal and then some. They were always very punctual, courteous and very good about answering our questions. They seemed very interested in pleasing us and seeing that we were satisfied with their work. Ron demonstrated a keen understanding of the variables which presented themselves in a 22 year old home in regards to plumbing changes required, finding wiring within the wall, and just general construction. A few weeks after the project was completed, we had a problem with one of the faucets and Ron responded to our request quickly.
As an aside, we had a problem with our hallway floor, which he diagnosed quickly whereas 2 other contractors had not discerned the precise nature of the problem. I was impressed by Ron's problem solving skills. I'd definitely recommend him for remodeling work and will want to use his services again when the need arises.
We had heard of Ron from an acquaintance of ours who highly recommended him. We can second that strong recommendation.
