Excellent Experience with Bottom Line! Rob and his crew are so good at what they do! They exceeded my expectations in many ways. First, they started and finished more quickly than I expected. Once they tore into the project they encountered some unexpected problems but they were able to adapt the plan and make it work. The finished projects look amazing. They were pleasant and professional throughout the project. A+ and highly recommend

I needed to update replace two bathrooms - one due to a problem from the original construction of the house which I lived with for 40+ years & the second the “main bathroom” which due to a leak in the roof had partially collapsed the ceiling which temporarily I had patched up. I contacted Rob Nally “Bottom Line remodeling” & received an estimate of $8,500 for each bathroom update, The guide line being that I chose & bought the vanities, plumbing (for the bath tub, shower, vanity), the medicine cabinets & the lights above the vanities. Perhaps some people would want a “turnkey” update & I’m sure that Rob would accommodate that request if that’s how you wanted to do the effort (I never asked), but for me I really enjoyed being able to choose what I wanted rather than have some contractor chose those items. If it doesn’t look right I can only blame myself – which is fine with me. I spent $2,900 to purchase the faucet sets, vanities, granite tops, medicine cabinets, towel bars, light fixtures for the bathrooms. Now to the rest of the job: Bottom Line Remodeling gave me the option of selecting tile from 2 or 3 places ”I really loved the tile we selected by the way” , provided a high end toilets, bathtub, & tempered glass shower for the one bathroom. All the work was done extremely well IMO… Rob in the process resolved the 40+ year old problem that I had in the shower – the original plumber/ contractor had not properly set the base – that is now completely resolved. The effort took roughly 2 weeks to complete (for some maybe this it too long) for me I’d rather it done right than done fast… each day tarps were put down plastic covers placed over furniture to minimize dust, residue from the demo & re-construction. The tile work, drywall, installation of the built in medicine cabinets, vanities, granite tops & plumbing were top notch IMO. I also use well water & have a water conditioner on the system, but you never know when you’ll have a pin hole crop up, Bottom Line remodeling replaced the copper lines in the wall with CPVC pipe (one less potential problem) down the road. The finished job looks great total cost for the two bathrooms being $8,500/each + $2,900 for the items I purchased & listed above for a grand total of $19,900 I am extremely happy with the new bathrooms & if I ever chose to move, the bathroom s will certainly add to the appeal of the house.. I would certainly use Bottom Line Remodeling again without question.

Seemed like a reasonable person when we met in person, but he just didn't seem to understand customer service and timeliness.
Response from Bottom Line Remodeling
"I am very sorry that Mr. [Member Name Removed] feels this way. I actually work on my jobs personally and usually return calls when I get in in the afternoon which I let customers know when I talk to them. And I am also sorry that I get to get away for a couple weekends after working 6-7 days a week in the last eight months. Mr. [Member Name Removed] would call the answering service and if he didn't get a quick response he would call a few hours later saying it was his second call. Most of which was on the weekend and one was at 11:27 pm right before midnight. Not sure how many businesses are open this time at night? Just seemed like he was not a very patient person. I called him very nicely and told him that I was sorry but I actually was not interested in doing the project. Yes I have an answering service that I have had for going on 19 years. I am a small business and don't have a secretary sitting at a desk answering the phone. If II spend all day on the phone, I could actually get nothing done. First person that has actually had a problem with the answering service. I actually hear that they are very nice . Good luck on the project ! Just baffled with people trying to make good people look bad when they have never done work for them. I am sure that most people will look at work performed and see what actual customers may have to say. Thanks and have a great day"

Never hire this man.  He is sloppy and does not keep time commitments.  I have never had anyone with more vehicle problems.
The project was to be finished the week before Christmas and was not completed until the week after Christmas.
Problems:
1. Door betwwen rooms-different style door than the rest of the doors in the basement.
2. If there were scratched or chipped tiles layed them anyway without notifying me so I could not get replacement tiles.  One whole box of marble floor tiles were scratched and he layed them anyway.  
 3.  I was to have a shower system where both faucets turned on at the same time.  Ireapeatedly asked him to open up the boxes and check them to ensure he knew how to install them.  He waited he had layed the tile and then was not able to put in the two way. 
4.When I asked why the inside of the closet doors were not painted he said he only does the door side facing outward.  On the inside of the doors he left grout from the tile all over them.
5. He mixed the grout in my utility sink without cleaning up afterward.  The sink  was almost pristine prior to this because I had spentd hours cleaning the sink when wer first moved in the house.  Now I cannot get the grout stains out of the sink.
6. He left drops of wall paint all over the white baseboards and trim work he had painted.
7. He hung a shelf on the wall and ot fell down a month after he put it up.  He did not bother to insert anchors into the dry wall.  The toilet roll holder is now falling down for the same reason.
8. In my shower stall, one of the small pieces of tile is sticking out, so I have to watch where I step so I do not scratch my foot.
I had done a major kithchen remodel at my previous residence the year before we moved into our present home with another contractor and tile layer.   I know the difference between a good job and mediocre job.   Do not let this guy near your house.


Response from Bottom Line Remodeling
"I am real sorry that this customer has twisted the truth to this extent. I bend over backwards to make my customers happy which shows in 99% of my reveiws. You just can't make everyone happy I guess. 1- The door was different for which I explained at the bigginig. The customer didn't want to pay for the special order dor to match the ixisting closet doors. 2- The scratched tile was a result of Customer supplied tile which was purchased from a discount tile store. I got rid of as many as I could and yes I might have missed a couple, but I chipped them out and replaced them at the customers request with no questions asked. 3-The shower systym she speeks of was not possible with the type of shower and style for which she had in this basement bathroom. I explained it to her and she went on line, to see that it would not work and agrred with my explanation. 4- Painters only paint and affected room side of doors unless asked for and paid for. This is very common. 5- I did not in any way and have never mixed grout in someones sink. I mix my grout in a two gallon plastic bucket. 6- Not sure about spots of wall paint on base but I do know that the base trim was new and was painted before being installed and installled after the walls were painted as we always do when new trims are to be installed 7- The shelf and toilet paper again were Customer supplied and were for sure installed with anchors as always usually with anchors which come with the fixtures. 8- Not sure about the shower floor tile sticking up which were a mosaic type marble tile and sometimes are not the same thickness. Again I am very sorry that the customer feels this way and it was done a year ago. If I would have been contacted of the supposed problems, I would have went and resolved the problems no questions asked . Again, You can't make everyone happy all of the time. She must have really not liked me to try and make me look so bad"

Mr. Nally (the owner) was prompt, courteous and professional.  He made my project a priority and started on it right away.  The project ended up being more than either of us bargained for after the discovery of two other burst pipes, but Mr. Nally was able to adapt the plan easily and was very helpful in assisting with my insurance claim
Mr. Nally did a very thorough job not only of the visible work, but went out of his way to ensure that the pipes were properly insulated.  It was obvious that he cares about the quality of his work as well as customer satisfaction.  
I would hire Bottom Line again in an instant!

Mr Nally came on time every day and communicated with me through texting (my choice). Even when the weather was horrible, he was here on time.  He and his helper-apprentice always laid out drop clothes that went from the front door all the way to the bathroom upstairs. Both men were here on sight and did all the work themselves. I was in awe of Mr Nally's knowledge and expertise in everything he did.  He kept me informed every time there was something I needed to be consulted about, whether it was the tile pattern as he rounded the next corner or how or where I wanted something put. He listened to all my suggestions and we always seem to come to a consensus before moving along.

The work was done in three weeks time (much longer than either of us had speculated) but the tile work was more than a week of work, each tile being painstakingly applied to the correct place. I was the mastermind of the pattern, but Mr Nally had to accomplish what I perceived.  It was a difficult task, but we love the results.

Lastly, I would like to say that Mr Nally was always professional and friendly.  A difficult combination to find. He likes to sing while he's working, I found that cheerful.  He has a very optimistic personality, which made him very easy to work with. We look forward to using him again on our next project.

We had our master bathroom upgraded.  Mr. Nally and his son performed all the work personally.   They showed up on time  each day and called If they were going to be late due to pickup of materials etc.  He finished at a reasonable hour each day and left a very clean worksite and told us what was to be done the next day before leaving.  We really appreciated his input into the planning as well as the savings we gained by the discounts for materials he passed along to us.  He redid the tub surround with no disagreement  when it didn't turn out as we had envisioned.  He wanted to make sure we were happy with the work and we were.  Other than a few minor cosmetic issues  we were very pleased with the work.  We now have a beautiful master bath we enjoy using and looking at.

We have a Cape Code and our master bedroom and bath are on the second floor. It is an odd space with a lot of angles and the pitch of the roof. We hired Bottom Line to update our master bath. We had a separate shower and tub which they replaced. We went from a fiberglass shower to a customer tile enclosure. They did a great job building the shower and worked with us to put a bench in the shower as well as other details we wanted. The tile around the tub was done very well and exceeded expectations. Overall the work was very well done. We were very impressed and grateful for their professionalism and responsiveness. Anytime you do a major remodel in your home it is stressful. Their responsiveness and willingness to work with us was invaluable. They never tried to push us into doing something or using material we didn't want. They provided cost saving ideas as well. We would definitely hire Bottom Line again.

The prior owner of our house had renovated a bedroom into a bathroom which only had a jetted tub, one sink, and a toilet - but no shower.  The bathroom was accessed from the master bedroom as well as the hall, so there was no privacy for the master.  The space was very poorly designed and as a result, we were using a basement bathroom for our showers each day.  After talking about different designs, we concluded that there was enough space to create a new hall bath, a master bath with a large shower and double vanity, and a walk-in closet.  
I priced several different contractors, and Robert had the best price and seemed to be the most trustworthy.  This was a big investment for us, and I felt that he respected that investment and treated the budget options as if it was his own money on the line.  Robert provided a very detailed price estimate for the job showing his labor and expenses, which allowed me to shop around for materials that I knew I would want to pick out myself (such as vanities, tile, etc).  I am a big internet shopper, and I wanted to be able to find the very best deal out there.  He also offered up his discounts to me at suppliers around town, which was not something that the other contractors offered.
At every step of the way, Robert consulted with me and kept me informed of the expected progress as well as the decisions that needed to be made that day.  He is very knowledgable and as a result, there were some improvements to the original plan that made the final job all that much more incredible.  He and his helper Derek were very respectful and thought through the least disruptive options for our temporary bathroom displacement, and did a very nice job of cleaning up each day before they left.  Robert and Derek's attention to detail and workmanship was also top-notch - and we really put it to the test, with a large mosaic tile floor, subway tiles, and several other time-consuming details.  Robert also went the extra mile and took the time to fix a problem he found with the plumbing around my hot water heater, which was not a necessary part of the remodel, but it shows how he makes sure that a job is done right.
The end result was two great looking, custom bathrooms with amenities that will add value to our house when it is time to sell.   I will attempt to attach photos to this review, because seeing it is the best testimonial to what a beautiful job they did.  We will definitely be calling Bottom Line Remodeling for any future renovation jobs!

Rob and his assistant did a superb job dismantling the old tub/shower combo, removing old tile flooring, installing a new vanity, and enlarging an existing doorway. They committed to a start date and even worked on weekends to finish on time. Their input on the various features of the bathroom were very helpful. We have a lovely tiled shower with a glass door, which is very custom looking, and we have received many compliments on the bathroom. Bottom Line Remodeling did an "A+" job on workmanship, cost, and efficiency. We are extremely pleased and plan to use them again.

Overall we were disappointed.  Other than the punctionality and the lack of a steady work ethic I mentioned above there were broader workmanship issues.  

As part of the remodel we had them remove a bathtub, install a tile shower and put a glass door and side glass in.  Seems to not be too complex for someone that does bathrooms.  They first installed the brackets and they cracked tiles in 3 out of the 4 areas where they installed them.  He complained about the glass tiles but he knew we wanted glass tiles and never warned us.  The next bracket rework cracked 2 out of 3 and each of these reworks took them installing new tiles then grout them the next day.  Do not remember how many tries but it extended the remodel by a couple of weeks primarily because they had started another job and we were getting secondary attention.  He promised that they will finish up the next day along with other odds and ends we had for them. However, we then discovered that they had rushed the measurements and when the glass arrived it simply did not fit properly.  He said to us "well your walls are not strait".  Hello...that is why you measure.  So again it took days to remedy and the care they took with our new tile floors was out the window and now they were getting trudged on with dirty work boots.   That neglect stained the new grout as their frustration grew and they battled to make the glass fit so they would not have to replace on their dime.  In the end the glass was salvaged but it is not near a professional grade install.  

The reason why we are writing this now and not closer to the last contact date is that they were supposed to come back and complete the list of issues and work not completed.  We reminded him once but he never showed.  

Do's and Don'ts - I would not recommend against hiring them because they do a decent job and are economical.  However, i would make sure they tell you specifically how long the duration would be and have them provide a schedule of where they will be at intermediate points.  However, do not pay them the last installment until the job is totally done.  We made that mistake and Robert ignores the open issues!  We going to do our master bathroom and we are not calling them.

"I went and looked at this project on a Saturday afternoon. The customer had already hired someone else to do the basement remodel. There was all kinds of poor workmanship issues. The [member name removed] were looking for someone to fix the previous contractors mistakes. There was venting issues per a previous county inspection, The toilet was not done correct, and the entire shower needed to removed and totally redone. I am sorry but I didn't want to fix some other contractors mistakes. No work was performed at this residence."

Rob arrived with his co-worker every day on time around 8 am and cleaned up every day at around 3:30 pm.  He gave a very thorough estimate for each detail of the work he would perform and was it very clear about what we were paying for unlike other estimates which were just a seemingly random amount with little to no detail.  We appreciated his easy going and professional manner and his willingness to work us in right before Christmas.  He and his co-worker were great with our dogs and our son and they were just nice guys to be around. They were able to do everything within 4 days and the finished product was amazing. They let us pick out our own tile, passing along their 40% discount to us.  We also picked out our cabinets, vanity fixtures, and shower fixtures so that we could spend exactly what we were comfortable with and also got exactly what we wanted.  We plan to use them to remodel our kitchen in the near future as well.  We could not be happier with the entire process and have recommended them highly to our friends.
