Home Run Remodelers

Overall they did a great job. I was at home during the project, which was a benefit, but nonetheless they were very professional and did excellent work.

unknown

it went very well - on time and professionally done.

Over all the project went well. 
There were a some issues because some of the original plans and some changes that were made were not communicated to the men who were going to do the work.  For example, the workers did not know that the original plan called for old carpeting to be removed from the stairs that led into the living room.  All of these type of issues were corrected, but we did have to spend a lot of time making sure that all of our wishes were in the finished project.
The final product is beautiful.

Went really well with finishing some unfinished space in the basement.

They showed up when they were supposed to cleaned up each day and Charles was the lowest of three bids we received.

They were also patient with me because the flooring company sent the wrong floor and it took some time to get the correct stuff.

I always felt my questions were answered in a timely manner and answered well.

They did what they said they were going to do in a timely manner.  I was pleased with the outcome. I would reccommend them.

Charles Lee was great.  He was pleasant, professional, responsive, on time, on budget.  He explained things well to me, as there were many things I didn't previously know. His price was the best of the three that I got.  I could reach him very easily by cell (calling or texting) and he was quick to respond.  He helped solve problems. I am recommending that my daughter get a price from him to do some remodeling at her home.

We met with Charles and two other builders. One other builder had a very outgoing personality, sent us an estimate through email after seeing pictures of our house and yard, but was more expensive plus couldn't start as early as Charles. The other third builder's estimate was part of a local chain with architects and they forced us to sit those a sales presentation about our "values" with glossy brochures and was just really cheesy and then the architect quit before providing us with as estimate. Charles met us within a couple days of reaching out to him and we had only heard of him through Angie's List. He had a pleasant and friendly personality and we found him easy to work with. We forgot to add wiring for speakers until after the contract was made and he was OK putting that in as long as we bought the supplies. We also had some user errors with the GFI switches and fuse box after the porch was done and he sent the electrician out the next workday for us. Our porch was fairly large and our patio had to be dug up so the project took 3 weeks including no work days due to heavy rain. I am beyond happy with the quality of work. We decided against the skylights and were worried the house might be too dark. But the biggest surprise was the ceiling height he put in. It looks about 10 feet and the room feels so open because of it. We love it and would hire Charles and his crew again.

We had a  finished basement with a very awkward layout and only one tiny bathroom that we wanted to expand and make more usable. To this end we:
- Completely demolished the existing bath and rebuild it slightly larger
- Added a whole new second bathroom, including the necessary water and wastewater hookups
- Added a new kitchen
- Re-designed three existing rooms into a larger living / dining room space and a nice sized bedroom with build in closets
- Replaced existing carpet and vinyl with new wood and tile floors
- Replaced existing drop-down ceilings with drywall
- Added two egress windows in the bedrooms
- Repainted throughout.
Charles and his crew performed all of this work very diligently and thoroughly and our basement looks beautiful now. He made sure to point out all potential pitfalls regarding permits (e.g. installing the egress windows in the bedrooms) and generally gave us helpful advice on how to improve our lay-out.
There were a few times where I wish communication would have been a little quicker and it lead to a couple of small misunderstandings, but overall he was better than other contractors I had used in the past and we as customers were not stuck with any of the resulting problems. He also made sure small issues that came up after the completion of the work were taken care off quickly and at no additional charge to us.
Overall I would highly recommend using Charles and Home Run Remodelers for your contractor needs.

We loves working with Charles. He is so knowledgeable in his field and always has good suggestions and advice (but never tries to impose anything, of course). His work is very clean and the work area is well isolated with nylon sheets to prevent the dust from going all over the house. He always makes sure to protect the areas where his team will be moving around. His workers are very professional and very pleasant to work with. We've been working with him for a while. He also renovated our living/dining room and our family room (complete make-over).
I would highly recommend him. We plan on having our master bathroom re-done with him in the next couple of weeks.

I had an existing deck updated and reinforced. the cost was not the cheapest but the work was very good. design was substantial, build out was to code and new supports proved to create a hardy structure for the deck. My biggest concern was to match another deck that was built in 2009. Charles was able to make the rails, treads and balusters perfect match. except his teams handiwork was far superior to the original installers. We are quite pleased with the results. Yard disruption was minimal and the work site was left in near perfect condition. 

We chose Home Run Remodelers as our contractor for a one-room home office addition to our home after soliciting several bids.  Mr. Lee was the low bidder on our project, thanks in part to the approach he came up with for conserving most of our existing carport slab while constructing a foundation that would meet the requirements for support of a heated interior space.  He gave us good advice on a number of our choices, but also worked with us when we suggested alternatives.  As other reviewers have mentioned, we did have to initiate contact when we had questions, but he was responsive when we did so.   Our one complaint is that he did take more time than we expected to order the flooring material we had selected. When he found that it would take several weeks to get, we made a different choice in order to keep the project moving, but this was a minor compromise.  Despite several delays due to winter weather, he was able to complete the project from permitting to final inspection in under three months, and we are very happy with the results.  All of his workers and subcontractors were efficient, hard-working, and respectful of our house and property.

Charles was great. Unlike some of the other contractors we met with, he was on time and provided all the details necessary to make a decision right on the spot. There was no beating around the bush or "I'll get back to you with a price" like we dealt with others. We got a fair price right away and he explained everything to us.
His workers were professional and did a great job. We would definitely hire them again and would certainly consider them for larger jobs. Our job was particularly small for them, but unlike other top rated Angie's List contractors, he fit us in between their jobs rather than not responding or turning us down. All this was clear to us and fit our schedule perfectly. Other contractors need to understand this. I don't need your full schedule, but any level of transparency is a plus for the consumer.
Keep up the good work guys.

Mr. Lee was honest from the beginning, he told me he needed some time to arrive at a fair estimate and gave me a day to expect the estimate......HE KEPT HIS WORD
I ended up not buying the property because I was outbid, BUT I WILL USE MR LEE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

This was the best experience we've ever had with a contractor and team.  Charles Lee came out and gave us an estimate that was $10K less than the closest competitor.   Because the company had great ratings on Angie's List we decided that they were the right folks for the job and have not regretted it!  From the plans and recommendations to the finishing touches, eveything went smoothly and efficiently.  Andrew, Charles' brother-in-law, and Miguel led a fantastic team who were thoroughly professional and unbelievable at attention to detail.  Our unfinished basement is a thing of the past, and it's hard to remember how bad it looked.  Now we have a new bedroom, bathroom, and utility room that are state-of-the -art and the crew installed a bar for us in the family room downstairs.  You will not go wrong with these guys!  If you have a renovation project, you'll be lucky if you can get Home Run Remodelers to take on the job!!

We were very pleased with the company and the staff. Charles Lee, the owner, was very pleasant and professional.He was very thorough with the estimate and was very knowledgeable. His crew, David and Marcus, did a great job. They were very conscientious about their work and made a great effort to minimize the mess. Also did a good clean-up job.

They are excellent.  I had no problems with them.  They were on time and on schedule.

We were very very happy with the work Home Run Remodelers did for us.  Charles Lee, the owner, was very pleasant to work with and would definitely call him again if I ever needed any more work done to my house.  All his workers were very professional and they did a great job.  The work they performed required a lot of detailed measurement and cutting.  When I inspected all their work up close, I was amazed by the quality of their work.  The week they worked on my home, Hurricane Sandy was approaching.  They worked extended hours every day to make sure all the gutters and down spouts were completed and that there were no exposed areas that would be adversely effected by the storm. Even after they completed the job, I was very impressed how well they cleaned up, not leaving any mess.  They used my garage to store some equipment during the job.  After they were done, they left my garage spotless and much cleaner than when they started. This attention to detail really impressed me.  We received several quotes from different contractors and chose Home Run Remodelers based on price and the scope of work to be performed.  Everything worked out perfectly.  This was the first time we used Angie's List to find a contractor and we are very glad we did.  All the good reviews were right on.  Its unfortunate that their only negative reviews are from people that didn't even have actual work performed.

Home Run Remodelers did a fantastic job. The owner, Charles Lee, is a consummate professional. He returned my initial phone call within 5 minutes to set up an appointment for an estimate. Throughout all our work, he and his crews were always right on time. In addition to being professional, Charles is affable and very knowledgeable and a great leader and project manager. It was clear that his crew members respect him not only because he's the boss, but also because he really knows his stuff!
He made sure our entire project ran smoothly, even when unexpected problems like pinhole leaks turned up. He actually started to repair the problem himself since he was on site at the time! Also, Charles stuck to the budget in our proposal. We knew there would be several options for carpeting in our basement and that our proposal had included an estimate for a middle of the road carpet. When Charles gave us samples to choose from, I was concerned that the one we picked would be out of our budget. Charles assured us that all of the samples he had given us were within the budget of the original proposal. He said it was important to him to make a budget and stick to it. I really appreciated this attitude and his honesty. 
What is more, we had several estimates for the work, and Charles' estimate was the lowest by several thousand dollars. We were a little worried that perhaps the quality of the work wouldn't be as good since his price was the cheapest, but boy were we wrong! I cannot stress enough how pleased we are with the work his company did. Not only is Charles a perfectionist, but also all of his crew members are. Our basement and family room look beautiful.

After an unexpected lapse in coverage that occurred when the original project coordinator left the company, Charles Lee met with us to go over everything in detail prior to starting the job, which started only after a brief delay.  The workers showed up at 8 am on the scheduled start day and worked practically non-stop for 2.5 weeks.  They worked carefully, were courteous, and cleaned up after themselves. They were responsive to all of the details that we requested.  There was one course correction necessary when they were hanging the cedar planks on the ceiling.  We had communicated with the original project coordinator that the planks should be hung lengthwise vs. widthwise across the ceiling.  When the workers started hanging them width-wise, we stopped them, realizing that this detail was not communicated after Steve left.  We discussed the new plan, and the workers immediately adjusted by purchasing the additional materials that they would need to hang the ceiling the way we wanted.  And it is beautiful!
I believe that we paid a fair price for what we got.  It was not cheap, but the work ethic of Home Run Remodelers and the quality of the job that they performed warranted the price we paid.  Charles made sure that we were happy with everything before taking our final payment, having his workers come back to our home to perform a few last tweaks that we noticed needed tweaking.  
We are definitely pleased with the results and would happily have Charles and his crew come back to do more work for us.

We are very pleased with Mr. Lee and the HomeRun team.  We had a number of small carpentry projects.   Mr. Lee responded promptly to our email inquiry.  He immediately had an excellent understanding of the work needed and offered suggestions that helped us feel confident about how the process would go.  We were impressed with his attention to detail and ability to anticipate work that might not be obvious - an error that can trip-up even a top rate home renovation contractor. 
We received a written proposal promptly via email and accepted. Mr. Lee set-up a second appointment to walk through the specifications and make sure we understood, before accepting our 25% deposit.  (A deposit was necessary because the project included high cost, special order, materials. The windows were ordered promptly and when they arrived we scheduled installation.  Work took about three days as scheduled even though it was over 100 degrees each day and most of the work was out of doors!
What a joy to come home and see the work finished.  The workmanship was very good. We think that Mr. Lee's understanding of our needs and his suggestions enhance the results.  The double hung windows make our living area inviting and the look system on the basement door makes the basement exit easy to use.

I went with another company because their prices were better. The overall experience was excellent. He was responsive, punctual, and professional.

Mark visited and reviewed the job and sumitted the estimate. We delayed the work because of travel.  Overall the service was performed well, however, even though others performed the work, we did have some concerns about the quality of the job and after speaking with Mark and his review of the job, he did make the necessary corrections.
We would recommend that in the future the owner, Mark, have some type of communication directly with the client, during the work, especially since those performing the work may not be able to communicate as well as he.

I thought they were a very professional company.  They give impeccable service.  They went beyond the call of duty and I am very impressed with their service.

Steve was very professional and thorough. He recommended stronger screens than I had previously to help evade raccoons and other critters. (We live adjacent to a wooded area.) I was pleased with the work and am considering this company for some other  home maintenance projects.
