Fabulous. This was a hassle free exchange. They came when they said they would. They submitted a proposal--both hard copy and electronically, and then resubmitted it when we asked for changes. They were courteous, scheduled promptly, and the quality of the work was top notch. At the end they sent a very detailed invoice electronically, complete with the receipts for reimbursement for permitting scanned and attached to the email. Truly, it's rare that a construction project is done so effortlessly. It seems like a small detail, but I really appreciated their attention to paperwork. Permitting was simple, and they seem to have an expeditor who knows what he/she is doing. They were great communicators. We definitely plan to use them again.
Description of Work: We had some basement work completed for $2,500.

A family friend recommended RJS to us. Ron Savino (owner) and his cadre of sub-contractors were quick to respond to our initial inquiry for an estimate. He assembled a team of about 5 trades that listened to the work we wanted done, and in turn they shared a few suggestions of their own. They also pointed us in the right direction to start sourcing materials for our project such as tile, cabinetry, and fixtures. A good start, but then it went downhill from there. Once our selections were made Ron seemingly lost interest in the project. We repeatedly asked for a labor quote and he delayed his responses. At one point we were told he was on vacation for nearly 6 weeks. Upon his return he sent a very curt e-mail response saying RJS was too busy to work on our project. Mind you we had been seeking a quote for months! We feel we wasted so much valuable time--if our project was not "big" enough for him, he should have just spoken up. We could never recommend him based on our experience.

RJS Construction came highly recommended to me via a referral from a friend. It took one month to get a consult and was told up front that it would be at least two months before any work could be started. I was ok with this since the referral was so strong. RJ did a thorough walk through and made some recommendations and said he would send me an estimate the following week. After not hearing anything from him the following week, I emailed him about 10 days later.. no response. Emailed a second time about 2 weeks later, and followed up with a phone call a day after that (in which I spoke to his answering service) ... No response! After wasting about 6 weeks of my time I am beyond disappointed and frustrated with this company. If you cant or don't want to do the job - say so up front!

Description of Work: RJS recessed a fireplace and put in 2 windows in our family room. I was so impressed with their planning/design process and amount of time it took to be in, out and complete the job. They were respectful and easy to work with. We had to troubleshoot an issue with our fireplace breaking that I wish we could have avoided with the fireplace subcontractor being present (as planned) for reinstallation, but we ended up splitting the cost of repair. I felt their pricing was a bit high, but they had good quality of work, were straightforward about cost changes ahead of time, and, all in all, were very efficient with time. I enjoyed working with them and the construction team.

From the start Ron was a pleasure to deal with and put our minds at ease during a very stressful time. He was professional, knowledgeable, and just started taking care of things as soon as we hired him. He also dealt with the insurance company to make sure they priced and scoped the repairs appropriately. The work started and proceeded quickly, and the quality of work was excellent. Any issues we had were dealt with immediately, and Ron made sure we were kept aware of schedule each week. Russell, the site supervisor, was excellent as well. I will be calling Ron the next time we have work to be done and highly recommend him to others,

Perfect.
Description of Work: Added +900 sq. ft to brothers home and remodeled the entire upstairs, kitchen, family room and basement. Finished the job 2 weeks earlier than initial project estimate and was within 5% of estimated cost. (Cost adders were primarily driven by him for a few upgrades, but there was one that could not be foreseen. House foundation was far deeper than anyone would've anticipated which required more excavation and more building materials.) He has used them for few smaller jobs (e.g., new patio/retaining wall) since and never been disappointed.

Everything they did or managed was excellent. They were efficient and timely and their work was very professional (I'm relatively knowledgeable about carpentry work, but this job was too big (and too high) for me to do on my own). On top of that, they cleaned up thoroughly every day, and when the job was done, it was as if they were never there...except for the beautiful like-new woodwork around the house. I'd recommend without question.
Description of Work: I have an almost 80 year old that required replacement of siding and miscellaneous repair/replacement of exterior moldings/trim and some minor structural components. RJS directly did all the siding and carpentry work and subcontracted the follow-on painting work.

Meeting with Ron, the owner is a very positive event. He in charming, knowledgable and he listens to the problem. Ron gave me an estimate in 48 hours and then lived with in that estimate. He gave me a start and finish date and he lived within those dates. My wife and I could not be more satisfied with the project quality and performance.

Outstanding general contractor; Ron has done great work for us on several projects. His employees and sub-contractors all perform top-notch work and are a pleasure to work with. He runs a tight ship and has met or exceeded expectations on quality and time to complete the scope of work. Very highly recommend him for major renovations.

RJS was amazing. Ron finished the job in less time than he told us, and it was professional in every way. The arrived early, stayed late, and basically did everything they could to get us in the space in a timely manner. We felt lucky throughout the process that we had picked such a great contractor. Will definitely use them again when we do a more extensive remodel of our home!
Description of Work: Ron and his team tore down a dividing wall in our basement, drywalled the ceiling, installed recessed lights, added a closet, painted and refinished hard wood stairs and a new banister.

Not a lot of attention paid to matching finishes such as light switches etc. Difficult to get the owner on the phone to address issues, could only get him on the phone when we stopped paying him on time.

He subcontracted the plumbing and electrical, but he and his project manager, Bob, oversaw everything. Bob was excellent. They were always on time and worked full days. They were very particular, making sure the job was done right. They are neat. They made suggestions and with their experiences I usually thought they sounded good. They have been very pleasant to deal with, not overbearing. I would feel very comfortable referring them to anybody. I would absolutely hire them again.
Description of Work: He completely remodeled our kitchen, adding another room to our house. He remodeled two bathrooms and added porches. With the addition of the room, he excavated another extension of the basement. We didn't have an entrance to the basement from the outside and now we do. He added dual heating as well. They also re-roofed and re-sided our house.
