Pete and his company did a great job. Completely gutted out the old bathroom and redesigned it. Pete is very knowledgeable and has a keen eye for what works during a remodeling job, Pete came up with a new design that allowed for more room while not sacrificing anything that we had originally. The job went well being on time and under budget.

First off he didn't live up to the contract.  The contract listed numerous additional items to be performed and he didn't complete them.  Work was done unsatisfactorily.  He installed a bow window and didn't install it properly and he refused to fix it.  This ended up costing us even more money because we had to go to another installer. He basically took the money and ran.

He was on time and the price was good. He was a very courteous person. The job was done perfectly and I didn't have any dislikes at all. It was an excellent price and an excellent service.

It was terrible. Peter Ricter and Son never responded to our repeated phone calls and emails.
Response from Peter Richter & Son Home Improvements LLC

"The work was performed over 10 years ago as per our dated agreement not done 8 years ago or on September 15th of this year as member noted in the text above. He did have one problem several years back in a severe snow and ice situation in which the gutters were completely iced over and a snow dam had worked its way up the roof. We did respond to the situation which was simply impossible for water to flow correctly. There was no way to remedy this other than to get a thaw and make sure the gutters remained free flowing going forward. As far as this latest situation, this forum is the first time it was brought to my attention. Please post this as your readers need to know the facts. Peter Richter"

Met with to go over a series of upcoming projects. Never heard from again. Never sent an estimate, never returned a call or emails. Very disappointing.
Response from Peter Richter & Son Home Improvements LLC

"We did try to respond to member. The several projects in which he refers to above were priced out. Unfortunately due to a family health issue I could not respond as timely as I would have liked to. It is unfortunate that after I tried to contact member I received no return call. So naturally he comes on here and trashes the contractor. I did try to express the situation to him in my message but apparently it was to no avail. I do feel it is unfair that this forum will even entertain or give the opportunity for someone to post something negative like this trivial complaint without even getting both sides of the story. Not only that, I never even did any work for this individual. What is to prevent anyone with an axe to grind with me or any other business man for that matter from getting on here and attempting to give us a bad name. I want this removed from my record immediately, as realistically, there is no proof that this even happpened and I believe the circumstances surrounding this situation are very self explanatory..Pete Richter"
