Lou was great! I needed some odds and ends carpentry work and light painting. He was very thorough and meticulous in everything he did for me, even cleaned up after himself. I strongly recommend him.

My experience with Lou was first rate from beginning to end. He promptly returned phone calls, showed up on time and exceeded my expectations with the quality of work. I would very much recommend Lou to my family and friends for any projects they may be considering.

I hired Absolute Renovations in March 2017 to renovate a small bathroom in my older home. The project went fairly smoothly until the workers began to tile the shower walls and bathroom floor. Prior to grouting, I noticed many issues with poor cuts and odd pattern choices on the shower walls. Initially, Lou agreed to remove portions of the tile and fix it. After two attempts, we agreed on a solution and the tile was grouted. When I looked at the nearly finished shower tile for the first time, I wanted to cry. Not only did it look completely amateur, but the imperfections I was concerned about became even more apparent. Many of the grout lines were inconsistent, with some being extremely skinny and some being extremely thick. The tile was also uneven, with some sticking out very far and some pressed in deeply. Everyone who saw the bathroom agreed that it did not look professional at all, so I decided to part ways with Absolute Renovations, as it was clear their quality of work was sub par. Since parting ways, the laundry list of problems with Absolute Renovations' work has grown tremendously. I discovered that they failed to install a vital sensor in the heated floor I had requested, which made it impossible to control the temperature of the floor with the thermostat. When further investigating that issue, I found that they had also installed the heated floor completely around the soil pipe for the toilet, which would likely melt the wax ring and cause a flood. After describing the situation to the heated floor manufacturer, their recommendation was to completely remove and redo the entire floor so that the heated wiring could be installed correctly. Just when I thought I had repaired all of Absolute Renovations’ errors, I took my first shower, and soon after discovered that the drain had badly leaked onto the ceiling below. I ended up needing to open the ceiling, only to find that instead of achieving a proper seal between the drain and tub, the workers had just filled the space with an overabundance of caulk, which of course failed during the initial large water load. After months of wasted time and putting out thousands of dollars to fix Absolute Renovations’ mistakes, I contacted Lou requesting a refund of the money I paid him, as literally the ONLY work of his company’s that was not flawed in my bathroom was the drywall. He refused to refund any of my money and, like a broken record, would only offer to have his guys come back and “fix” all of the issues. After seeing how extensively poor their quality of work is, and giving them chances to “fix” their mistakes previously with a poor outcome, who would want to allow this company back into their home? I would never recommend Absolute Renovations and my experience with them has made me extremely wary of working with contractors without a personal recommendation. It’s shocking to see that Absolute Renovations has so many good reviews on this website, since the only positiv

Lou was reasonable in his pricing, compared to others that were outrageous. Work was performed with expertise precision. Lou showed me local codes and specs. Answered all my questions without hesitation.

Lou and his team were great to work with. Lou was very responsive in surveying, estimating and performing the work. They performed high quality work on time and on budget. They always displayed great integrity and demonstrated excellent customer service. I would hire Lou back in a minute to do other work.
