Ryden Residential Remodeling & Repair LLC

Bob Ryden is the person I dealt with. My experience with him was excellent. His service and knowledge were excellent. He knew what he was doing. He was polite and cordial. He was on time and met his budget. The price was very good. I am going to use him again for an electrical project and that is going to be about $900.

He did an excellent job, he showed up every day. He realized that he had underbid it which is why the other people charged more because there was fiddly stuff on the porch, it wasn't just slapping big pieces up. It was down to the fine detail work. He didn't ask for more but I paid him more. He's a one man everything. He pretty much works by himself. There were a couple day he sent some apprentices or something not to do the fine detail work. We told him we were under a deadline, we had to have it done by a certain date for bank stuff. He worked from first light until dark every day he could. There was day he was sick or had a family emergency and he still made the deadline. He really felt strongly about doing a good job and doing what he promised.

He took out the tile and prepped the bathroom for the installers. He was great and we would use him again. He was on time and easy to work with.

Bob arrived 20 mins late for his appointment to evaluate a whole house remodel. That by itself wasn't terrible, most contractors run late. We spent an hour with Bob going through the house while he took notes. Bob has a list of things he won't do. He won't paint using certain brands of paint. He won't touch do work on gutters or garage doors. He won't source materials. Bob kept trying to wrap things up and leave and we kept having to explain that there was another room, exterior work to do, etc. We couldn't understand why he kept trying to duck out. This was a HUGE job -- the quotes we're getting are in the 70-80k range. swe thought a contractor would like having a nice big job. Finally we finished up. Bob says he'll have us numbers in a week. The next week we get an email from Bob saying he's gonna pass on the job because it's more work than he can handle. He explained that he has a bad back and wouldn't be able to scrape our popcorn ceilings as a result, so that meant he couldn't do the job. Obviously that's an excuse since it makes no sense. Bottom line, it seems like Bob is a nice guy, probably a decent handyman, and could paint a room if you buy him his favorite brand of pain, but he's not a general contractor by any means and he has no respect for his potential clients time.

Bob was quick to provide an estimate, was honest in his communications, and did an excellent job. He provided plenty of communication on status, more than I've seen from other contractors. We highly recommend Ryden Residential Remodel & Repair, and will use Bob again in the future for other projects.

Bob is a great guy, hard worker. The work he did on our house received multiple compliments. He completed the job as specified and if something wasnt done right he would fix it. The job took longer than either of us planned, but other than that it went extremely smoothly.

Bob delivered his promise and work 100%, and I was very happy with Bob's work. The bathroom turned out to be beautiful. He is a great guy to work with.

called him and he came and checked out the house for a couple of hours. is a pretty laid back and thoughtful guy, very good listener. he had to originally put off the show up date because it was thanksgiving week, but that is understandable. then he came over and got it knocked out exactly when he said, and made 100% sure we were happy. Bob is a family man, and a great guy.

He did an excellent job and we would hire him again.

Very well. Very satisfied. I'd use him again.

They are awesome and the prices are reasonable. They are friendly and professional. There is not one bad thing I could say about this company. They did a wonderful job.

It went great! We have a one-bathroom house, so Bob went to great lengths to ensure that we would have a working toilet and tub during all phases of the construction. He coordinated with our schedule and began the project while we were on vacation. He even worked on the weekend. Our neighbor told us that he stayed at our house until late the night before we were due back to return from our trip - he wanted to make sure we could use our bathroom right away. He was very flexible. He returned phone calls quickly and was good at communicating with us. He was good at advising us on what kinds of specifications we should look for in our new equipment. We didn't pick out any kind of edging tiles for the shower, and he picked out and bought the tiles for it - they looked great. When he was at our house, he was unobtrusive and quiet. When he wasn't there, he left the house clean - it was never a mess. Out of all of the contractors we contacted to make bids, his quote was the most comprehensive. He proposed changing out valves since we were getting a new toilet. He proposed moving an electrical outlet so it wouldn't be right near the light switch. Other contractors didn't mention those things. I feel like he did a thorough job.

Bob was very careful during the removal stage. Pleased that he removed all the stuff left by the previous owner. Took all the trash and left the work-site clean each day. I appreciated that a lot.

He came on a very short notice to look at it. He came out the next day and laid the entire laundry room and half of the kitchen. He did a very good job and was very dependable and reasonable. He came back the next week to finish the job.

We could not be more pleased with Bob Ryden. He is honest, he does amazing work, he is meticulous and *always* cleans up (this is huge based on my experience with other contractors). Here is one example of how cool he is. After he did the master bathroom (and it was fabulous) we asked him to paint the office and we picked a greenish color for the walls and ceiling. I was at work and Bob called asking if I was *sure* that I wanted to paint the ceiling green. Since I had worked with Bob for a few months I was smart enough to pick up on his subtle question so I asked him what he thought. Well, Bob thought it would make the room look too dark, so end of discussion. We painted the ceiling a lighter color and it is awesome. Bob is never "pushy" but he has a solid sense of what works and what doesn't and he'll take the time to check in on that. I will always be grateful to Bob for taking the initiative-I don't know any other contractors who would have thought about it or made the effort.

Nice job.

Went well. Look great.

He was right on with the estimate he gave me and didn t go a cent over. I am very pleased with all of the work he did and I am going to be using him again for some other work real soon because I am so satisfied with him. He did a beautiful job and I would recommend him.

Bob Ryden was easy to reach and came on site and provided a timely estimate for the work. Once we agreed, his workmanship was great. He went up in the attic and ran the wiring and was able to conceal it all in the walls (even though one of the new outlets was in an outside wall). The medicine cabinet proved to be harder to install than expected, since the studs happened to be closer together in that part of the bathroom. But he was able to notch out part of a stud to mount the cabinet, and when finished, it looked like it had been there all along. He cleaned up after himself, and conducted his business in a very professional manner.

BOB RYDEN DID A GREAT JOB. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND I TRUSTED HIM TO WORK ON MY HOME. HE MADE SURE TO DO THE WORK EXACTLY AS I WANTED. HE SHOWED UP ON TIME AND FINISHED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
