Excellent job. We received a detailed contract and work was done exactly to the specs of this contract. PJ and his crew came when they said they would and were pleasant and easy to work with. The job site (our dining room) was broom cleaned each evening and care was taken to minimize mess in the house. The result is beautiful and so appropriate to the rest of the house.

PJ was the only contractor we contacted that was willing to come to our home and take a look before providing an estimate. Everyone else used photos but also made the incorrect assumption about how our front porch was originally constructed and what the issue behind the crumbling was. The process itself was stretched out over two weeks roughly, but that was mainly because of the weather. PJ made a point to keep us constantly updated about when things would stop or resume. We also greatly appreciate that they lengthened the original rails to match the slightly larger stoop. We'll probably reach out once we're ready to do work on our basement!

It may sound like a simple job, but it wasn't. I wanted to replace the floor without removing the columns and the attached railings that support the roof above. P J methodically moved from column to column, raising each and replacing the floor beneath as they progressed the length of the porch. All of the old flooring was removed, including all of the nails and packaging materials. And....it was done on time, the way he always works! There's a reason I keep going back to P J. He knows his business. He's a delight to work with. And, above all, his work is the best. Go elsewhere at your own peril.

PJ is a nice guy and genuinely wanted us to be happy with his work. That said, it would have been helpful if he had actually drawn up plans and gone over them with us, working out details, before beginning the job. We also would recommend that demolition not begin until all necessary materials to complete the job have been purchased and all important materials are actually in his possession. Our estimated five week job ended up taking more than two and a half months - all that time without a usable bathroom! In fairness, much of the delay was not PJ's fault - but by the time we got to the last stages of the job, he was feeling rushed to complete it and we were just ready to have it done. As a result, we compromised on several issues and the end result was a bathroom that looked good, but was not what we had really wanted. I would also recommend that PJ either better train or monitor the young men he had doing the demolition work. Although they were friendly and polite, they managed to poke a hole in the wallboard of the adjacent room while tearing down the bathroom walls. They also were careless in dumping debris out the window - some of it landing on one of our shrubs, essentially destroying it. PJ repaired the damaged wall and we didn't even tell him about the shrub, but it left us feeling like we had let some people into our home who were careless with our home. On the other hand, Ernest, the man PJ had do the tile work for us, did a beautiful job and was consistently responsive, polite and professional.

"I am without words on how to respond to this . First of all thank you for the B Grade ! I want everyone out to realize If you wait till the materials are secured before you start demolishing the project you will end up with a much bigger problem on your hands . This is the only way you can confirm measurements in the field !! Framing is involved , Plumbing and electrical , in this case we had to install heated floors . Mrs Derickson at no time during the project gave us no indication of being un satisfied with the progress or quality in job . Let me please touch on things that mrs Derickson spoke of .. drywall Damage , THIS HAPPENS IN CONSTRUCTION! The hole was about the size of a golf ball and was made when we were ripping out studs from the other side of wall . It was repaired immediately. The BUSH ? Mrs Derickson had never mentioned this until the review? If we would have been told about here concern for the bush I would have addressed it ! The Delay in project I take full responsibility for however please let me explain why this accrued. As a business owner I provide a service that involves a countless number of other people to do there job and follow through in order for the project to come in on time . I gave Mrs Derickson a few options in venders to choose from selecting a counter top vanity sink and mirror ensemble. Unfortunately the one she picked was on back order . I was not told this until it was time for delivery. I will never use this vender again because of this . I will say that the bathroom came out amazing and I'm really not sure why mrs Derickson would say that she didn't get what she wanted ? She always expressed to me she was very pleased. Please see photo in gallery of the grey custom shower we did I think it speaks for it self . Finally I want to say this to anyone who is trying to select a contractor to do there work . Please keep an open mind when reviewing reviews. We are constantly scrutinized by the public and are subject to anyone's opinion . I personally strive to make everyone I work for completely satisfied and go to every effort to please . We all know that you cannot please everyone. Please focus on our good reviews and understand that we will always have your best interest in mind . Lastly I want to say again thank you for the B Grade However were I'm from if your a failure for anything less than an A we would all be a failure !!"

It went great. He was slowed down by all the rain in April and May, but he kept coming back every sunny day to get as much done as possible. He was very conscientious and did an outstanding job.

THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST NIGHTMARE OF OUR LIVES!!!! We had multiple communication issues with this contractor. Mr. Stanley installed the moldy kitchen floorboards that were removed by ServiceMaster as a false beam to hide the transition between the old and new ceilings and will not remove it after multiple requests. The main bathroom cannot be fully used because the tile floors were not sealed and the window was left un-replaced with the trim off, exposing the room to outside elements. The windows in the kitchen and dining room also are in need of trim and we are unable to hang curtains to block off the outside world from looking in. The lazy susan in the corner cabinet has recently fallen apart as well. Mr. Stanley pulled his men at the first mention of any impairments in their work and walked off the job in November. He has since demanded final payment and filed a mechanics lien on our home!! At the advice of our attorneys, we brought in other contractors to give us estimate on how much it would cost to complete the work. It was then that we found that the work was not done to code. We now have to spend additional monies to bring the work up to code. We are living in the back room of our home and cannot move our furniture back into the house until all construction has been completed - which should have been not later than the end of November!!

It went very well. The workers are competent, courteous, and conscientious. They did an excellent job in all of the three rooms that were done. The work was done in a timely period with a minimum of household upset. The workers went out of their way to clean up every night and at the end of the job. The entire experience was excellent in all ways.

Overall I rate this as an F due to the fact we ended up in court.
As such I would never use this contractor again.
To be fair for the work he did complete; for the most part, was affordable and done to my satisfaction.
Carpet work was good
Had 3 Sliders replaced work was great. 
HOWEVER, he left one of the old sliders in my basement. (i.e. so he did not complete job in my opinion).

"It seems that sometimes in life we run across individuals who expect something for nothing . Mr Madden and I did have a contract and yes we did end up in court . However, he ended up getting his way that day because my contract was worded wrong in the carpet section ."Typo Error" I had charged Mr.Madden for certain amount of sq' footage originally . However, after further review of previous invoices it had appeared we did not charge Mr Madden for 450.sq' of carpet.After sending him his final bill he disagreed on the total amount owed. We completed all carpet to his satisfaction . Mr Madden and i also had the understanding that prior to my commencement of the project he was to have the left over debris removed before carpet could be installed. It was a previous foreclosure he purchase and the past owner had all her things still there . WE arrived to install padding on the scheduled day and everything was still there . It was not in our contract to remove items from the house . It is unfair and typical of Mr Madden to claim delays on project or punctuality ? But fails to mention the Reasons behind This. There is not enough space provided in the comment response box to explain The nightmare we went through with this client . It seems that everyone assumes its the contractor that's out to screw the home owner but that's not always the case . Attn: Future inquiries, I am not going to give this individual the pleasure of ruining my Sunday afternoon at home responding to more of his slanderous claims .Please focus on our previous and past reviews to base your decision on using us as your contractor ."

It went wonderfully.
First of all, my wife and I decided to go with this company because they did not just blindly go with our design but also suggested changes that greatly improved the final product.
PJ was very professional and he and his employees could always be trusted to do an excellent job.  Additionally, they weren't afraid to come to us with questions along the way to make sure we got exactly the best kitchen that we could, and everybody was friendly.
Now everything is done and it looks absolutely fantastic.  We have beautiful new cabinets and a great granite countertop and everything.  Also, they were able to do all that even though our house had unexpected plumbing, ducting, etc.  behind the walls and other such surprises.
There is no doubt that it would highly recommend their services and will surely go back to them if more such renovation is required in the future.

PJ was very enthusiastic about our project and provided us with much-needed design input. We were uncertain about knocking down the wall, but PJ agreed it was a great idea and we have all been amazed by how wonderfully it opens up our downstairs.
He also fell in love (figuratively speaking!) with an old oak beam, and convinced us to leave it exposed.
When we were disappointed to find the brick walls of our 1850's home covered with 1920's plaster--which meant we couldn't expose the brick for our backsplash--PJ found a manufacturer of real antique brick facade for our backsplash, and it turned out magnificent.
We splurged on a Viking range and hood, and after unreasonable and inexplicable delays on the delivery of the hood, PJ went to bat and Got It Done.
We are over-the-moon happy with the work PJ and his team did, and I can't recommend his services enough.

I was happy with Mr. PJ Stanley (Renovation Concepts owner) from the first time we met to discuss the tear down and rebuild of our master bath. We wanted an architectural feature added to the new construction, yet I did not mention it to him, and on his initial inspection/estimate, he volunteered the exact detail we were thinking of, which to me, meant he was capable and thoughtful. we agreed on a price and work commenced as soon as he obtained the proper permits from the county.
On work commencement day, he showed up with four guys, laid down plastic wrap on the carpet, and they tore the old bath apart. Part of the project was the tear down of an existing wall and the construction of a new one so that the new shower would be a 5' X 5' enclosure. This was done quickly and professionally. They were careful removing materials from the upstairs and on hand were electricians and plumbers to make sure all the work was done within code.
Throughout the process, which took approximately one month, PJ stayed in contact with us giving updates, resolving problems and checking to make sure we approved of his independent moves. Of note: the tile man, Rick Brill, came downstairs one day as he was working on the river rock shower pan and asked if we had any special rocks we'd like to see in the shower...well, of course we did, so I pulled out a few rocks from our most recent glacier adventure in Alaska and gave them to him. Now, those small glacier rocks line the circular drain in the new shower!! That kind of inventiveness and attention to detail are indicative of how PJ and his crew at Renovation Concepts approached and executed the project.
Now that it's complete, and in use, we are thoroughly pleased with the work, from concept to final product. I highly recommend Renovation Concepts and in fact, hope to utilize them for future projects.

We called him.  He met with us and discussed our wants and needs.  He provided drawn plans for our approval.  He got all permits from the county.  He called on subcontractors as needed.  The job was completed in a timely fashion and we love the results.

This was the second time I have used Renovation Concepts. The first experience was a relatively small drywall job and the experience was so good, I called him back again for some insulation and more drywall. I'm married to an architect so I have both an elevated sense of what things should cost and an equally sensitive eye for craftsmanship and professionalism. His proposals were right on the money and the work superior. He takes great pride in his work and the finished product is spectacular. He keeps in touch and shows up when he says he will. I recommended him to a neighbor on the complete renovation of an old, much ignored home. I know that they were very pleased with his work and in turn, recommended him to yet another neighbor. I have since seen a number of his other projects and can fully understand why he is successful. I'd recommend him without qualification to anyone seeking superior craftsmanship and industry competitive prices.

PJ of Renovation Concepts is terrific and does excellent work. He has completed multiple jobs for me, and they always turn out exactly how I imagine them. PJ is very responsive and will work closely with you to make sure you get exactly what you ask for. Quality is excellent, and just as important, PJ's is someone you can trust to get the job done correctly and on time. His craftsmanship is of a very high quality: the built-in bookshelves, bathroom, and porch he did for me are amazing to see (they were very run down but PJ did an amazing transformation). He has helped get my 62 year old run down home looking back the way it should. He was always very patient with my multitude of questions and offered alternative solutions if he thought something might not work the way I imagined. He was also conscious of my budget and worked with me to stay within it. I will definitely want PJ to do the rest of my remodeling work.

They were very good. We had a contractor passed away he pickup the pieces and did a great job. That's why we hired him for the basement remodel.
