When Kyle found out that I had family coming into town for Thanksgiving and that the bathroom he would be remodeling was our ONLY bathroom, he vowed that the work would be done before they arrived, even if it meant his team worked longer hours.
Kyle wasn't actually present for the remodel, but his team was incredibly polite and professional, keeping our house as clean as possible while they worked. They were done when they said they would be, for the price quoted before the work began. We couldn't be happier with the work they provided!
"Thank you very much for the terrific comment and being such a great person to work with! It's been a pleasure and we are delighted to continue making your home new again. Thanks again!"
"Thank you very much for the great comments. We feel very glad you were satisfied and fortunate to have such a great client!"
"Thank you [member name removed] for the great review and the opportunity to serve you. We really enjoyed working with you on such a large and lengthy project. You are very kind, considerate and compassionate and we consider you a friend as well as a client. We all look forward to seeing you again for the house warming party. Sincerely, Kyle Bellaren LLC"
The Nordstrom's of all contractors. The only place to go!
"Hi [removed member name] , Thank you for writing such a great review, We are glad you and Cameron were happy with the repair work. I only wish it could have been a project to enjoy instead, hopefully the next one you call us on will be. Thank you again and we look forward to our next meeting. Kyle, Bellaren LLC"
The work scopes include removing old countertop, bar top, backsplash and replacing them with new quartz counter tops, removing old sink and replacing it with new stainless steel sink. Kyle is very professional, he talked with me over the phone and explained detail of the work procedures before the work start, he provided me a detailed estimate with material and labor cost on it, this will help you to decide the work based on your budget. During the work, Kyle called me and personally on site to show me the sample quartz material and make sure the material and color was really match the countertop, bar top and backsplash with each other. There was a size mismatch for some of backsplash, Kyle came and quickly fixed it. The finished countertop is very beautiful, I really like it. This is my rental property and it was rented out in 3 weeks. One of the tour guest who works for construction company highly comments on the quality of countertop. The cost of the work is a little pricy, but considering the quality of the work, I would say it really worth the price. I will call Kyle again for future remodel work. Again, Thank you Kyle!
"Thank you for the nice comments and great review! I hope to hear from you again when you start planning the Kitchen remodel. Sincerely, Kyle C. Bellaren LLC"
"Thank you very much for the great comments and review. Our team really worked hard to get the tough design right and I thought they did a great job too. We enjoyed getting to know you and your family and look forward to the next project! Sincerely, Kyle Bellaren LLC"
laundry, dining, and bath remodel. We also had them create a kitchenette in my studio. I?d hire them again in a flash.
The kitchen in the house was tiny, and the dining room was small. Bellaren removed the wall between the rooms to create a
reasonably sized kitchen with a nook. The house is old and through the years has had many modifications. Most of them appeared to have been performed by armatures, so the job was particularly challenging.
We interviewed at least 6 contractors before we decided to go with Bellaren LLC. I liked the way Kyle engaged in determining/assessessing what he was going to have to do. He was the only contractor who looked closely at the particular problems my house posed. I felt that he had a good grasp of the challenges he faced, and was more realistic with charges. I was sure he knew, going in, what to expect with my particular house, and that I wasn?t going to get a surprise bill for something he didn?t anticipate.
From the beginning and throughout the process of redesigning my kitchen, Kyle offered suggestions on how I could
save money. He was able to see things I didn?t see, because I was so engrossed in the details. He made suggestions that helped to make the finished product absolutely gorgeous. His workers are incredibly professional, and they always cleaned up after themselves.
Part of the job was to rip out the original hardwood floor in the dining, kitchen, & laundry room and
replace it with travertine. It was such a mess when Kyle started. The dining area had
hardwood with laminated wood over it, the kitchen was about half an inch higher and had vinyl floor. The laundry room was a little higher than that and had subfloor only that was higher than the other two. It all had to be pulled up. The guys were great. They set a large quantity of the old hardwood slats aside for me to use in another part of the house where the wood floor had been burned and patched.
Kyle has really good ideas. He is dependable, honest, and very talented. He helped pick out the travertine tiles, and was
very helpful when I was overwhelmed by the choices of granite/marble. He also has a great crew that does wonderful work. I would highly recommend Bellaren LLC for any job that Kyle believes he can take on. I think he?s very good at gauging what needs to be done, and if he says he can do it well, I?d believe him.
I don't want to go into details of the nitty gritty but I will say this and hopefully others can make their own decision. My final bill had lots of "additionals" added to it that were a surprise to me at the end and I had a very hard time talking to Kyle about it. I couldn't get an answer via email about the changes to the bill and felt harassed to pay it. Ultimately, I finally got him to come to my house so I can get to the bottom of it and I asked my realtor, who is my friend and understands a lot more about this than me, and Kyle lost it and screamed at myself and my realtor when we tried to talk about the bill. He really was scary and at one point my realtor felt he was going to hit her! He stormed out of the house. So I tried to mediate through the Better Business Bureau but he refused that as well and that complaint is still there.
THE WORST PART...He never paid the total to the cabinet company (a bill I paid him for months prior). So the cabinet company put a Lein on my house. The amount was for more than what I owed. I chose to hold back a small amount ($1000) until some final things were finished. According to Kyle I owed more (again these surprises that were above what the contract stated). Ultimately, I realized that if I did pay him, it didn't gaurantee he would pay the cabinet company. So I paid off his debt to the cabinet company to have them release the lein. They were so relieved as they also agreed he was impossible to deal with and that their impression was that he was always right and everyone else was always wrong. I ended up having to pay more than I owed for piece of mind. AWEFUL EXPERIENCE! Kyle was always pleasant (although not always present) until it came to money and the bill. Then he was a totally different person, and not nice, to deal with. My realtor, someone who deals with contractors and the such all the time, was beside herself after Kyle stormed out.
I really have dreaded writing this review and almost considered quitting Angie's List. But I realized these reviews are based on what we write and I felt the need to warn others. I just don't want anyone to have to deal with what I dealt with at the end. I'm not sure who the previous "A" reviews were from and for all I know they could have been from friends of the company. I'm not going into the other issues I had, this should be enough of a warning, but I should say that because of Kyle's poor communication with the cabinet company, I sat without a kitchen for months. No temporary sink as promised (although I did have one the very first weekend). As an aside, the two young guys that were doing most of the work were pleasant to deal with on a daily basis.
"It's unfortunate for both of us. The new kitchen, nook and mudroom are impressive as you have stated on numerous occasions. We try to please as much as possible; however we to have a point of contention. We hope somehow you will find peace and will be able to enjoy what we have created for you."
"Thank you for the nice review and the privilege to serve as your contractor for this project."
"It's been a pleasure and privilege to serve you. Our team Cody, Dan and Cory enjoyed working on these projects and are thankful for the opportunity. We look forward to many more years of friendship and service."
We did have some issues with the flooring subcontractors - Kyle was really on top of the whole situation from the start, keeping us informed and making sure the job was completed to our satisfaction. In the end, I am very happy with the work we had done and am glad that we had Kyle dealing with it - the job is amazing and he got it done.
We are already lining up more jobs for these guys, in addition to the original set of work we already planned to get them to do for us.
Our "will we call them again" quotient is, WITHOUT HESITATION! The guys were friendly and courteous, got on with the work, communicated the state of play effectively, and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with the end result.
"Thank you for the great review. Our team Cody and Dan enjoyed working on the project and are thankful for the opportunity. We look forward to the next project and many more years of friendship and service."
"Thank you for the nice review and the privilege to serve as your contractor for this project. We hope you will enjoy the entry porch for many years to come."
are very pleased with our new kitchen.
Kyle helped with the new layout and provided lots of ideas for our new kitchen. He also directed us to many showrooms for selecting components, especially the cabinets and countertops. He negotiated a great deal on the cabinets!
The Bellaren team ? Kyle, Michael, and Kari ? helped us find the components and get competitive prices ? truly appreciated.
Michael did nearly all the work and is a true craftsman who does excellent finish work. This is truly an accomplishment as our old house is not square or plumb.
"We truly enjoyed building the new kitchen and are thankful for the opportunity to get to know you and your family. We look forward the our next meeting and many more years of providing great service when you call. Thank you for the great review!"
Kyle took the time and asked a lot of questions so that he could get a reasonable understanding of the project and advise of where the potential problems could arise. In the end, Kyle and his team and subs came in and knocked it out by our agreed upon deadline.
As always in these types of projects, there were surprises. Kyle would talk through our options always with the goal of getting us what we wanted in the end product even if that meant coming up with some creative solutions to help us get there. We of course had change requests along the way and these were always met with a discussion process to make the change happen versus any frustration with us at any impact that would have on Kyle and his team to meet our deadline.
We will use Kyle again and have already discussed a project to expand our dining area into our family room.
"Thank you for the nice review and the privilege to serve as your contractor for this project."
"Thank you Member for the great review! We appreciate the opportunity and happy to know you’re pleased. The project was a challenge due some complication of working inside a facility during business hours; however our team Michael and Cody stepped up and performed willingly."
"Thank you Member for the great review! We enjoyed working with you both and the warm personality of your father, Alexander created a cheerful atmosphere to work in. Thanks to our team of Cody, Jim and Jesse the project was a success."
