VIP Remodeling

Great! Always communicated when he'd be here. He coordinated with design center and granite fabrication. Allowed us to do a few things our own. He had good ideas on many details. Has a good eye for design. The job is complete and we are very happy with the results.

We picked Kyle for our complete kitchen remodel in Bend, OR this past year. He worked closely with Jennifer from Bend Design Center for the cabinet design layout. Our experience with Kyle was fantastic; he has a wide knowledge base, and his work is meticulous. He started on time on our scheduled day, and began with an empty room that had been demoed previously. Communications and personal interactions with Kyle were always of a professional manner, and he kept us regularly informed of the progress of the remodel. Much of the remodel was done by Kyle himself, so he had close control of the overall quality. His recommendations were very helpful when it came to choices and options. The result is a new kitchen that surpassed our expectations - we couldn’t be happier with it. I would highly recommend Kyle for any future remodel work.

V.I.P. Remodeling updated our kitchen quartz counter/ tumbled marble back splash, and farm sink addition. Also, updated the entire master bathroom, tile floor, tile shower, quartz counter and all the plumbing fixtures . We are very pleased and love with the outcome. Beautiful tile work in the kitchen and bath shower, counter and floor. The workmanship is outstanding! Working with V.I.P. was a good experience, professional, reliable, great communication with us and with the sub-contractors, and offered great solutions/ideas. The job was completed within the time frame scheduled. It was a pleasure to work with Kyle. Thanks, V.I.P. Remodeling.

It went really well. We were so happy with his work and his work ethic. He always responded right away and was always right on time. While the cabinets were being built he took the time to update us which we really appreciated. He worked fast and efficiently but with care to even the littlest details and was always meticulous in his work. He took such care with every phase of the demolishing and the new installation. He left the kitchen clean every time he left and even mopped the floor before he left each time. He finished today and the kitchen is perfect. We are so happy with it. We highly recommend him and would never use anyone else but him now.

My kitchen had dated counter tops and flooring. The cabinets also needed to replaced. I also wanted some of the lighting updated.
Not only was Mr. Schmillen's work top notch, his experience and knowledge was extremely helpful in the design of my new kitchen. His eye for color, quality, and functionality was impressive.
He played a huge part in many of my decisions. For example, when trying to decide on what refrigerator would work the best in my kitchen, he pointed out some details that I definitely would have overlooked. I ended up replacing my refrigerator with one that I wasn't even considering before with one that suits my family perfectly. This is only one example of the expert advise I was given.
I was most pleased with Mr. Schmillen's promptness. He was always showed up to work on time and worked in a very efficient manner.
My phone calls and texts were returned quickly with any questions I had along the way. Normally a remodel of any kind has the potential to be stressful. I honestly felt very much at ease the whole time. The end result was amazing and I couldn't be happier.
I would highly recommend Mr. Schmillen to anyone who is looking for a contractor. His work ethic, vast knowledge and skill make him a professional in every sense of the word!

No stress which was great!

Kyle arrived on time each day and was very professional. He explained what he was doing and answered my questions. He also handled my overly enthusiastic dog well (bonus points).  The quality exceeded my expectations and I was particularly impressed at how clean everything was kept. I would certainly reccomend him to friends.

We were very pleased with Kyle and VIP Remodeling's work.  They removed  our outdated "popcorn" ceiling, installed hardwood flooring throughout the house, patched, painted and completed some electrical work.  Work was well done the first time and the workers were prompt and efficient.  We felt the total charges for the work were extremely fair. I would heartily recommend their services.

Perfect-- that's why I have used this company for three jobs already!

Kyle did a fantastic job.  He was timely with appointments and call-backs to questions, and his budget was very accurate to the final cost of the project.  He was able to help guide us for product selection based on style and durability, and the end result looks great.  Kyle was always professional, on-time, and pleasant to work with.  The tile work and the backsplash he installed are beautiful.  He was able to troubleshoot a few issues we had with the granite contractor and we are very happy with the end result there as well.   We highly recommend Kyle for his high quality work, attention to detail, and very pleasant working demeanor.

Kyle was great! I trusted him completely. He was very prompt, cleaned up at the end of every day, and communicated well. He coordinated the plumber, dry wall, shower door, and granite installer visits. Made sure that all of our questions were answered and we undrestood the timeline. We plan to remodel our kitchen in the future and will definately be using Kyle. We have already given his name to several friends. He may have a slight wait, because he handles every project himself, but he is definately worth waiting for. Everything is top notch! Great with dogs too.

Overall went great!  Kyle (the owner) was here on time every work day.  I felt very comfortable with him in my house, whether I was at home or not.  He was responsive to my suggestions and questions.  He did a great job with coordinating the work of the plumber, the granite guy, the mirror and shower door guy.  He did an amazing job.

I received a call back right away and was able to quickly schedule a time for Kyle (the owner) to come out discuss what we were looking to do. We weren't real sure what we wanted to do with the fireplace but Kyle gave us some great ideas. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do with the kitchen backsplash and bathroom but even then Kyle provide some good input on different options.  Kyle provide us bid within a couple of days which was comparable with other bids we received. Given Kyle?s already positive feedback on Angie?s list and the favorable impression I got from Kyle during the meeting, we went with VIP.  
We are very happy we went with VIP Remodeling. Kyle handled all of the tile work himself and did an amazing job. He turned our dated brick fireplace into a piece of art that is now the centerpiece of our family room. This was no simple task given the large pieces of slate we used and the fact that our fireplace is roughly 20 feet high. The kitchen backsplash is a combination of travertine and glass that looks great with our cabinets.  Although we could have gone with any vendor for the materials, VIP Remodeling provided recommendations for specific vendors for the tile, cabinet and countertop that were all top quality and offered competitive pricing. VIP Remodeling also handled all the ordering and delivery of the materials saving us another headache. VIP Remodeling is also very flexible - when we decided at the last minute that we wanted to match the top of our room divider with the fir mantel installed on the fireplace, Kyle quickly accommodated us and gave our kitchen and family room a really nice tie-in.  
We would strongly recommend VIP Remodeling for any kitchen, bathroom or fireplace tile/remodel project.

Kyle acted as a general contractor and has a wide network of skilled personnel which he relies upon. His specialty is tiling which he does an outstanding job! As necessary, he coordinates with the experts to complete their tasks then he does the finishing touches. Kyle is very patient and listens carefully to what you want, provides alternative suggestions then works dillegently to meet your expectations. You will be VERY pleased with his services.

Awesome!  

Kyle accomplished the scope of work in an excellent manner.  However, he went beyond our expectations in several areas:

1. Since we did not have detailed plans for styles and materials, Kyle did an excellent job of suggesting economical yet popular choices.  He gave us complete choice, but easily responded with helpful suggestions when we needed guidance about what would easily work together.
2. Kyle managed the entire project without supervision.   We live in Colorado Springs, and saw only the first steps of his carpet removal and bathroom demolition, and then reviewed the nearly completed work a bit more than two weeks later.
3. When it was discovered that an additional, floor molding piece was going to be needed after the old carpeting was removed, Kyle clearly communicated and allowed us to approve of the small additional charge to cut and install the additional molding.
4. Kyle provided vendor recommendation, coordination and supervision to paint the entire Interior.
5. Kyle provided vendor recommendation, coordination and supervision to re-carpet the basement and stairs.
6. The closeout list that we made for him was short, and was quickly completed.

Kyle did an excellent job, showed initiative, worked quickly and professionally on his own, and deserves your business.  His hard work directly contributed to the fact that my father?s house ended up selling in only 6 hours (yes ? hours) for $15K more that I would have thought.  He has my highest recommendation!

He completed a bathroom remodel for us as well as a laundry room remodel. The areas look great! Thanks Kyle

See above!

It went fantastic!

He is excellent to work with. He does excellent tile work. I think he has good rates. He has excellent ideas. He is very friendly, has great customer service, and is very flexible.

VIP showed up at the time specified which was the 10th of October at 7:30 a.m. and started every day there after at the same time.  VIP provided an itinerary of what the progress of work would be and what his time line was going to be.  The tiling took (I think) longer than he anticipated with the placement of diagonal tiles on the bottom 2/3 or the walls and dealing with a home that was built in 1914 and nothing being truly square he worked through all the issues with very few if any problems.  He had the tools required to perform the job successfully from start to finish.  Between VIP and us we had all materials on hand at the start of the job, so there were no delays.  The finished project only required  a return trip by the sub that did the drywall work, one area where it had bubbled and this was corrected one  day after VIP completed the job.  It has been a week since his portion of the work was completed.  We have primed and painted the drywall, re-installed fixtures that were hanging on the walls and the balance of the hardware and have found no other problems.  Overall, we are very much satisfied with the work performed.

Kyle help with the selection of tile for the kitchen and bathrrom.   This was helpful in color coordination and tile sizwe.  He also brought several samples of crown molding to the house so we could make a selection.    Overall we were very happy with his work.  He completed the work in the timetable he gave us and followed up after te project was completed to make sure we were completely satisfied.  I would recommend him to others for his quality of work and his on time commitment.

Kyle was very prompt in giving us our estimates.   He gave us a separate estimate for each bathroom with very itemized descriptions of the specific work to be done with price beakdowns for each step of the project.  He is also very creative and offered many ideas of how we should proceed with the projects.  He has a very good eye for detail & space usage.

When we agreed on the work to be done, he was always here exactly when he said he would.  The removal of the old tile, tub, flooring, fixtures, toilets, etc. went smoothly.  He is very clean & makes sure to cover parts of the house that he doesn't want construction dust to get to.  

The actual remodeling went smoothly as well.  He is very efficient with his time & makes sure he is out of the house each day before dinner activiy begins. 

We are so pleased with the bathrooms.  He does beautiful tile & grout work.  His follow-up is exceptional too. 

A year before our bathroom remodel projects, Kyle did the tile for our kitchen remodel project.  He did the entire kitchen floor, living room, dining room & powder room.  He also did the backsplashes in the kitchen & bathroom.  Beautiful work. 

In 2006 we purchased a 1950's house which needed extensive updating.  Our first project was to reface the living room brick fireplace.  We feel lucky to have found Kyle Schmillen of VIP Remodeling as he made this project, as well as the following projects,  a pleasure and painless process.   I highly recommend Kyle, he has turned out to be my go to guy when I need a project, repair or just a quote to help make decisions on future pojects.

Kyle worked with us to cover the work  timeline and keep us informed as the work progressed.  No hidden issues or concerns.  The bathroom was completed as he had scheduled.  The cost were what he estimated plus he did the extras like caulking around the stool and counter flooring.  Definitely would recommend him and use him for future remodeling.

We were looking to update a "70's" house.  We wanted to get rid of old tile in showers and on the floor, redo some old layouts, and, when we could, bump out some old walls.  Kyle helped us come up with a plan that met our needs without creating other problems.  He set a schedule that he stayed on during the entire project and he showed up on time EVERY day.  He paid attention to all the details along the way and brought problems to us as they arose.  His work was excellent -- he treated our house with the same care he would his own.  His original quote that quite fair and he stuck with it throughout.  Any problems he encountered that required additional work that wasn't in his original bid, he brought to us immediately for approval -- he never did work without approval and never overcharged us for anything.

His work ethic was exemplary -- neither his work nor his work area were either sloppy or dirty -- he cleaned up after himself as he went along and worked to keep us on track so that we'd have things ready for him the following week.  He works fast, so it was sometimes hard for us to keep up with him.  We'd be picking out tile or colors as late as we could on a Sunday night so we could give him our selections on Monday morning.  He'd have them picked up and installed in a couple of days!

Bottom line, I highly recommend using Kyle and VIP Remodeling.  In a world where I was constantly told to be on my toes because of all the corruption that goes on in the building/remodeling industry, he was a breath of fresh air.  He's honest and dependable, creative, knows what he's doing and does it fast.  Most importantly, he's patient and kind and able to "roll with the punches", which I found invaluable as our project went along.  Invariably, something always goes wrong, and having Kyle deal so well with it was a pleasure.  He'd just make a new plan and move on to the next thing.  His prices were fair and the quality of his work was outstanding.

Having lived in the mountains, I was not accustomed to contractors who show up every day or on time.  Kyle was there each morning as promised and when I returned from work in the evenings, I could see how much had been done.  I was given detailed bids with breakouts for the various expenses so I could see where my money was going.  When I decided to change my mind about keeping the existing hardware, Kyle gave me the new costs and documented everything in a revised bid. 

My place is a 2nd story condo, with carpet on the way to both bathrooms.  Kyle was very mindful of my carpet and furniture, keeping the mess to a minimum.  I had another contractor do the tile in my kitchen years before and they had made an enourmous mess!  (Kyle also fixed up some of that guy's work)

All the work was finished on schedule and my final bill was just what I was quoted.  I could not be happier with my new bathrooms and I would definitely use him again for future projects.
