Ren and his team including: Electrician: David Long and Painter: Michael Blauvelt made for a horrible experience during our renovation while my wife was pregnant. We decided to hire Ren so we could spend more time preparing for the baby. Instead we has to jump in as Ren had a melt down in the middle of the renovation for personal reasons. His wife stepped in but that was not satisfactory especially for the price we were paying. He was disrespectful towards us and even screamed at us when he became overwhelmed, we suspect drunk (from what I found out personal issues at the time in conjunction with other stressful renovation projects had him at his limit). Our experience was that he was extremely unprofessional as a result. His team is unprepared and needs supervision from my wife and I while paying his 20% overhead. There is a laundry list of items from the renovation that were done poorly or need to be completely redone. We attempted to work amicably as a neighbor and with respect to his personal issues, but sadly he was unwilling to and has since been spreading rumors that we are hard to work for. Upon arriving to our home we found crew member with our copper pipes in trunk, full propane tank stolen for another site, painters caught smoking pot, and had to give instructions to the stoned crew over and over again. We paid to do other peoples work while I needed to prepare physically and mentally for childbirth. Unfortunately this did not happen and we were up late nights preparing for the crews next day so the house was reading for our daughter's arrival. Electricity still flickers and we are certain we did not get a 2nd coat, much less a first coat from the painters. A total nightmare hiring Tate Construction whom we are sadly still dealing with having to set the record straight as we cannot let false rumors go uncorrected we didn't pay.
