TRIVIC REMODELERS INC

First, as far as their work product, it appears to be top-notch. Ned & his team created a new bedroom by installing a wall in a former den and moving a wet bar, as well as installing a closet in the new bedroom. Throughout the process, the communication with the contractors was good and they made a number of helpful suggestions as the project moved along. The end result is a beautiful new bedroom that looks like it's part of the original structure (no gaps in the wall connections, wet bar is installed properly, etc.) Trivic came in about the middle to upper middle range of bids, but we're happy we went with them. Ned was responsive to inquiries day and night, and he's easy to get a hold of. If there is a minor complaint, I'd say that they do try to suggest additional jobs they can do - they're not pushy about it, but it did come up in multiple conversations. We just moved into our place and did mention that we were potentially looking at doing some additional work, so that might have something to do with it, but I saw some other reviews along the same lines so I thought I'd mention my impression. That being said, I will still be calling them for potential work we do in the future.

Ned Trivic and his team are absolutely the best! When he first came to my house for the initial consultation, I was impressed by Ned?s attention to detail; he pointed out some things that I had not noticed. He and his team got the job done on time and on budget. I will add, though, that there was a MAJOR plumbing problem that had to be repaired and caused me additional expense, but I was happy to be informed about it, allowing me to make the decision to go forward with the repair rather than just let it continue to get worse. However, there were some unexpected MINOR drywall issues that arose and he did not charge me any extra for those. Also, I asked his electrician to install a couple of additional electrical outlets and two ceiling fans and he gladly took care of this for me at no extra charge. Ned?s workers were all very polite and friendly. I also hired a painter to paint while Ned?s workers were there and all of them worked together smoothly without any problems. Ned was very easy to contact via telephone and he consulted with me about every little decision, right down to grout colors and placement of the toilet paper holder, and directed his workers in great detail. I highly recommend Trivic Remodelers! Thanks guys!

I got a good price. They did a really good job. I might have them out to do more projects on my windows. Everything went very smoothly and they cleaned up well.

Ned Trivic and his team were fantastic and did a wonderful job! We had a pretty tight schedule of about 1.5 month which they were able to keep. Their work was of good quality and it has been incredibly easy to discuss ideas and options as we were moving along during the work. We live in a high rise building which comes with many restrictions and regulations. Despite these added difficulties, Ned and his team were good in adapting and always finding the most efficient solutions. Our kitchen and the bathroom turned out to be exactly what we wanted. The quality of their work was really great. Ned helped us out on several occasions with some unexpected problems (carpet install, replacing front door), which saved us a lot of time and agony. Thanks to his efforts we were able to move in a little bit earlier than we had anticipated. We very much recommend him for any remodeling work. He was also very good in keeping with limits of the estimated budget.

Please read this entire review as the length is necessary given the size of my project and positive experience with Trivic. I was impressed with Trivic from my first very phone conversation with Ned, which lasted about fifteen minutes and involved Ned feeling out what we were looking to accomplish and within what timeframe. No other contractor invested so much time learning about our project in determining whether to provide an estimate. Our renovation involved three main projects: (1) remodeling two bathrooms; (2) installing custom kitchen cabinets and new countertops; and (3) adding finish carpentry to the main level including new crown molding, baseboards and wainscoating. Trivic wasn?t the highest or the lowest bid we received (probably closer to the high end than the low end), but based on my first interaction with Ned I was confident we would be in good hands. I probably would have hired Trivic even if they were the highest bid. Our goal was to complete certain important projects (e.g., master bath remodel) before moving in, and Ned and his team effectively managed our timeline and expectations and met all of them. During the busiest times of our remodel, I was in contact with Ned nearly every day and usually multiple times a day. Ned sought our input on all important decisions and made his own where appropriate. His whole team was courteous and responsive throughout the project, willing to coordinate with other service providers we hired on our own (e.g., hardwood floor refinishing) and adjust work schedules as necessary. Ned can recommend specialists for any area but will not push them on you. For example, Ned recommended a painter but had no problem with us selecting someone else after receiving a few quotes. His team, Wesley in particular, is extremely trustworthy, takes pride in their work and it shows in the final result. I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but in short we are 110% pleased with the results. We wound up with a main level with all new trim work, a brand new kitchen and two new bathrooms. Given the size of our project and delays (on our end) in selecting materials, etc. we wound up with numerous small punch-list jobs like moving recessed lighting, hanging pendants, and installing a kitchen backsplash and undermount lighting. My experience was that Ned works more informally in terms of pricing for these ?add-ons? that inevitably occur with any project, but I was comfortable working with Trivic within this framework knowing that pricing would be fair and the work would be top-notch. We only had one minor hiccup that I can remember on our project, which I think is worth mentioning because it exemplifies the level of service that Trivic provides. Ned?s team installed a new garbage disposal while we were waiting for a connecting dishwasher drain hose. The dishwasher inlet on the disposal remained unplugged (due to having no dishwasher hose) and we had an overflow while doing dishes in the sink one night. I contacted Ned late at night and he came over first thing the next morning with a plug. Minor problem, simple solution fixed immediately. By contrast, we?ve had other contractors take weeks to correct issues. Trivic was an exceptional company for our project. We invested in quality materials and service and are happy with the result. We will absolutely hire them again and have recommended Ned and his team others.

I have block windows and they did cause a small amount of damage and the owner was very nice and they replaced that. The siding came out very nice and they did an excellent job. He did an excellent job matching the color of the siding to my garage siding, as the rest of my home is brick. Ned the owner did a great job and he was very accommodating.

The railing that he added was a good quality railing. They were able to do the work within one day which was great. He is very good about working with properties that I own and he is quick with the work and he will bring a good size crew to get the work done efficiently. The cost is always fair. The guys that work for him are great. They are very professional as well. While doing the plumbing box work one of the tenants dropped an earring down the drain in another apartment and they were willing to get it out at no cost.

After going through a horrible experience with another GC, I found Ned (owner of Trivic Remodelers) on AngiesList and had him come over and see what he could do to complete the job. Essentially, Ned and his team had to complete the demo and start from scratch on the remodel. Ned was honest, worked within our budget and provided great advice on how to get what we wanted within our budget. Every person on Ned's team was great (plumbers, carpentry, electrical, drywallers, etc). Completely professional, kind (one guy brought cookies for my 2 yr old daughter!) and worked in a timely fashion. Ned has his work cut out for him with our budget and wants, but it worked out great. The project was on budget, we got everything we wanted in the bathroom and we're thrilled with the overall experience. I would definitely recommend using Trivic Remodelers and we already have additional projects lined up for Ned to work on. Additionally, Ned is a fantastic guy and we consider him a friend now.

It went very well, they were very professional, I was pleased with their work.

We sought out Trivic Remodelers to perform a complete overhaul of our 1st floor bathroom, which had likely last been renovatedsometime in the 60s. We had a leak from the 2nd floor, and due to the realities of having an old house, the floor was quite slanted. Ned and his crew did a fantastic job with the entire project. I met with several contractors when I started this project, but Ned was by far the most thorough of all of them, taking time to answer questions and ask questions of his own. Price was right in line with the other bids I received, and when we discovered just how bad our stack pipe situation was, he worked with us to do the extra work without the cost becoming too onerous. His crew was very thorough, making sure to keep us apprised of all our progress, and making sure the workspace was clean every night. I'm highly impressed with the finished project - from the quality of the plumbing, to the tile work, to the construction of the new closet. Our bathroom is a whole new space now, and I would gladly hire Trivic for future work.

It went great; better than great. I am glad the project is finished but I am really sorry to see them go. What a pleasure it has been to work with Ned and his crew. In late February, 2013, I found Trivec Remodelers on Angie's List after I had a bad experience with the contractor that prepared the plans. I decided not to have him do the work and was searching for a contractor that I was comfortable with. Ned responded to my email message promptly and we set up a time for him to come look at the project. I knew we would get along great as soon as he walked in the door. Ned is an absolute pleasure to work with. I can't say enough great things about him and the people he brought in to work on the project. I was on a very tight budget as I was getting the house ready to put on the market. I was also willing to do any grunt work to help keep the costs down. Ned was very considerate of my budget and time constraints and did everything to keep the project moving forward and on schedule. He also suggested things that I could do to help keep the costs down. For example, I purchased my cabinets from ikea and put them together myself. I also did most of the demo. work myself. The rest I left to Ned. He had great ideas and my kitchen is absolutely beautiful! He was in contact with me frequently throughout the project both by phone and onsite. I always knew the status of the project and never had to call him to find out the status. He even came over and helped me move my refrigerator and other furniture back after I had my hardwood floors refinished because my daughter was coming out to visit! He certainly went above and beyond. Today, was our final inspection and the project was completed pretty close to on schedule and budget! Now, I need to finish up my painting projects and the house will be ready to go on the market. What a great experience this remodel has been! Many thanks to Ned, Gustavo, Art and Jim!

Was an interesting 2 weeks since we no longer had a bathroom for showering but they did their best to complete the room quickly. We were really happy with the quality of workmanship in our completed bathroom. Ned and Adam gave us good suggestions which helped in finding tile, fixtures and vanity.

some of the best workmanship you will find. well worth the price.

Called the number listed, said I've got a remodeling project, started to explain. Contractor said "sorry, not interested" and hung up on me. Pretty rude.

Ned Trivic is friendly and easy to work with. He makes very helpful suggestions and listens to your concerns. We have used him to complete several projects. He is very open to letting you do what you can do. For example, we finished the new woodwork ourselves.

Again, can't say enough good about Ned's crew---each showed up every day on time; did their work; cleaned up after. Each person was also friendly and easy to talk to. Ned came to see how work was coming along and to ask if I had any concerns. Bathroom looks great, maybe even better than our upstairs one. I'm now getting prepared to work with Ned to remodel our kitchen. Have a budget I must adhere to.....I'll see how it goes.

Ned's workers always showed up on time, did their work, and cleaned up after everyday. Workers were polite, friendly and considerate of not getting in anyone's way. They covered areas when they knew there would be dust. And Ned showed up many days during the afternoons just to see how work was progressing.

The men were on time every day. I loved the work that they did. They were on time every day. My bathrooms are beautiful. I recommend this company to anybody. The work is excellent.

They are very professional and get the work done on time. If there is something else that needs to be done they will supply you with information so you can make a decision. They are upfront and honest with you. I would highly recommend them to other people. They have become my main contractor.

It went very well. This is the third time we've hired Ned and his crew. Demolition went smoothly. Of course we uncovered that the wall wasn't properly supported by the previous owners who removed a china hutch, but they fixed that. Smooth transition between crews. All-in-all, it took about a week. The finished product looks perfect. Most importantly, they have come in on budget every time, even with surprises (we're in a 1919 bungalow) and additions. Other guys will quote low to get the job then nickel and dime you, but that has never happened with Ned. We've never had to pay one penny over estimate or fight about anything.

The whole crew is very nice. They explain everything clearly as problems arose with the remodel. Our house is old and had some issues that needed correcting.

We changed the scope of the project after receiving estimates from a few other highly rated contractors. Ultimately decided to just change the floor, install an exhaust fan, paint, add trim etc... Ned responded the smaller scale with reasonable and helpful approach. His team came in and did a great job. They allotted 4 days for the project and when it ran over a bit they stayed late and came in on a saturday to finish on time.

They feel like family to me because they know me and I know them. The work that they did previously, I was having a problem with. They came back to my house to correct the problem. It was just over a year since they did the job, and they did not charge. That is what I like about them. They stand behind their work.

Excellent - work was done in a professional manner with no problems.

Superior job, workers were great, very professional, and courteous. Came in and went right to work. Was on time and cleaned up everyday. I will recommed this company to all of my friends and relatives.
