Ruben's Renovations

This project was our second project with Ruben. It entailed installation of a new walking path to our screen porch and the addition of handrails on each side of the steps to match the handrails on the front of our home. Ruben subcontracted the stone work for the walkway and managed the handrail portion of the project himself. He oversaw the entire process from beginning to end. It was all done in a matter of a few days and the quality was great. We are very pleased with the project and will definitely hire Ruben for future home projects.

We first hired Ruben to complete a tile job in a shower that had material damage to the existing floor tiles. Ruben to great care to protect the surrounding areas and ensure the quality of the work was the highest possible. He was meticulous to ensure everything was properly sealed and restored. He communicated at every phase of the project so we could work together when he ran into anything unexpected or for us to review progress. It has been a few months since the project was completed and it looks well and we know the quality of his work is better than the original because everything drains well and dries quickly. Based on this experience, we did decide to hire Ruben for another home project and will surely do so again in the future. He even rebuilt the corner bench, which was a change from the original project plan once we discovered it was not stable due to poor workmanship and materials used during the original build.

Very pleased with the quality of work.

Ruben is very conscientious and works to make the project the best possible!

Ruben did an excellent job building deck stairs for us, his comitment to excellence shows in everything he builds, looking forward to working with him on other projects around our home, highly recommended!

Rubins Work is excellent, what lets him down to the point I would never hire them again is their time management and quoting. I was quoted a price, a price that was higher that other contractors but I was impressed by their work on other projects. The work took much longer and they kept complaining about the project having issues and every time something came up they tried to "Re quote", if this was the case them I asked them why this didn't come up, or why in the contract ( which was hand written extremely poorly ) did this not get explained. Every time I was offered ". originally they told me the job was going to take three weeks, they have been at the job for 6 and not completing in a timely manner, BUT THE JOB has been done well, my problem with this whole thing is , don't come back to a customer after the fact because you messed up . In fact I helped them by buying a much more expensive pre assembled rail system to which I DIDNT ask them to discount the job, as I felt I would give them the benefit of the doubt on this EXTRA labor, the supplier could only send 8ft lengths , and Rubin asked me to pay 15 dollars PER CUT for a total of $900 to trim this rail down. I was quoted by a machine shop to come to my house set up a saw , cut all rails to the correct size for $160 dollars , I have since asked the contractor , cease work , as once again they were trying to way overcharge me in an attempt to recover costs that were not incurred by me. The reason i asked them to leave is I feel now I would be at risk that the work wouldn't get done, as they feel they had the right to try and charge me more. At this point I no longer trust them and am going else where.

Did an amazing job on renovating my bathroom! He was very trustworthy, extremely quiet, always cleaned up his mess, and went beyond our expectations! Would 10/10 recommend.

We hired Ruben to install a pair of French doors that we bought secondhand. Ruben did a fantastic job! The work involved shifting ductwork and electrical outlets, drywall and trim work, paint and floor patch. Itâ s was more work than initially anticipated but Ruben handled it professionally. Very reasonably priced; he reviewed all material receipts with me at the end of the job. I work for a well known general commercial contractor and would hire Ruben again.
