Rydman Enterprises, LLC

We went with Dave Rydman, Rydman Enterprises, even though his bid was not the lowest because we prefer to support local businesses. Dave is very personable but there were too many problems with our bath remodel. When we gave him the project, he said he liked to **under promise and over perform** but the opposite was true. A job that was bid with an estimated start date being the 2nd week of June with finish the 1st week of July did not even get started until late June and was not completed until August 2nd. This even though in late May after meeting with Dave and accepting his bid, we had rushed down to the materials place to meet with the gal there and pick out the needed materials; we had also done as requested and bought the towel bars, grab bars, cabinet hardware and light fixtures which were listed as **owner supplied** by Dave, (which surprised me considering the amount of his bid) . The job was bid with a Kohler tub which apparently was not available, so we had to settle for an American Standard which was new but looks like a 20 year old tub with a definite ring around the bottom (possibly caused by his sub contractors), with no reduction in the price of the project. In fact, Dave actually made us pay an extra $75 over the bid price because I picked a square sink rather than a round one for the vanity. The shower plumbing fixtures brought and installed by the plumber were the right finish but not the style we had picked out and the handle was not installed correctly; Dave seemed unwilling to have his sub come back to make it right, so we are living with it. We felt throughout the project that Dave was distracted (probably by a bigger and/or more important -to him- job than ours was).

A very nice, competent, hard working contractor -- easy to work with.

David helped coordinate several projects. He is competent and capable, and he knows other good professionals that can get the job done. We feel lucky that we found David here at Home Advisor.com, to help with our projects.

Dave is a not just a pro at his craft, Dave is also great at finding quality workers, Justin his concrete guy was phenomenal, Dave is great at customer service, he kept me informed and responded quickly to any changes that had to be made. All this for a very reasonable price. I look forward to our next project.

Aside from those days waiting for materials, Dave Rydman showed up every day until the project was complete.

Dave is very personable and pleasant to work with.

I trusted Rydman Enterprises to come and go in and out of my home, very professional and did great work.
