We researched a lot of companies before going with Reality Construction. We are so glad we did! We had a great experience from start to finish. They were friendly, efficient, and detail oriented. Our basement was remodeled ahead of schedule. Any concerns we had were addressed right away. We are very happy with our new basement!

We just remodeled our living room, kitchen, half bath, and laundry room with Reality Construction and we had an amazing experience! We found working with Mike and Gina easy as they were straightforward and honest. They answered any questions we had right away. Gina came up with the best plan for remodeling our kitchen and we love the new layout. They employ top notch workers and everyone did high quality work. They never once tried to upsell us or play any games; they stuck to our agreed upon budget and even did additional things to make sure we were taken care of. Our project was done early, the work was all done extremely well, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose Reality Construction!

WE cannot recommend REALITY CONSTRUCTION enough! The professionalism, attention to detail, constant communication, responsiveness and promptness when reaching out with absolutely anything whether positive or negative, timely completion, and creativity when designing the best use of the space in our master bedroom and bath. Gina and Mike were with us through the entire process, including designing, shopping, guiding us through making tough decisions, and showing us many options and combinations when overwhelmed with MANY choices. REALITY CONSTRUCTION helped our huge project run smoothly and get done a bit early! Gina and Mike made sure we were on schedule and made adjustments as needed when our project was ahead of schedule. WE are beyond satisfied with our new MASTER BEDROOM and BATH!

Reality Construction LLC did a wonderful job finishing our entire basement. The process went way better than expected and my husband and I were blown away with how everything turned out! Mike and Gina were extremely easy to work with and they were both very responsive. When Gina came out for the initial consultation, she took measurements and gave us a rough estimate of the job. Mike and Gina both came out a second time and after looking at the basement and the layout, Mike gave us a few suggestions about changing the layout and we couldn’t have been happier with the final layout and project. They went with us to pick out everything which was a great help as they are professionals in their area so we relied on their expertise for many of these choices and they exceeded our expectations. The process was overall very smooth, any issues that did arise along the way were quickly handled by Mike without us having to do anything which made hiring them for this project well worth it. The basement was finished ahead of schedule and exceeded our expectations. The vendors they use were always respectful and very responsive if we had questions. We highly recommend Reality Construction LLC and will use them again in the future!

We had a wonderful experience with Reality Construction. Mike and Gina were great to work with, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We got prompt responses when we had questions, and they were proactive about notifying us of any schedule changes. Our basement remodel was even completed ahead of schedule, and we were very pleased with the quality of the end result.

We chose Reality Construction for extensive renovations. Mike & Gina were great to work with! Always professional and personable. Projects included a master bath, a full upstairs bath, a full remodel of kitchen/powder room/laundry room/pantry area, and a finished basement with a wet bar, fireplace, powder room and cabinetry. The projects were done in sequence and took a year to finish so we got to know Mike & Gina quite well. The estimates were both fair and firm. They weren’t the cheapest, but we didn’t want cheap. We wanted quality job done right and Reality absolutely delivered on that! Communication was outstanding and they were always available with quick response time. On occasion an issue came up and Mike & Gina resolved it promptly, professionally and responsibly. The work quality is excellent and we are very pleased with the finished product. Highly recommended!

We used Reality Construction, LLC for a remodel of our kitchen and adjoining rooms this past summer. We completely gutted our kitchen and removed the adjoining walls. We were initially impressed with how thoroughly Mike looked at the project. He made observations about lighting, trim, flooring, and many more details that we appreciated being thought out right from the start. He was straight forward with the estimate and nothing exceeded his initial quote. We very much enjoyed that Gina and Mike took us shopping for flooring, plumbing, countertops, and more and we valued their input. I'll admit I went into the remodel with a slightly different vision in mind. After listening to their advice and recommendations our remodel turned out far better than I originally had imagined. We are very much looking forward to celebrating the holidays in our beautiful new space. We are so very pleased.

Mike and his entire crew were terrific to work with. Would definitely recommend them. We added a bedroom, bathroom, livingroom area with fireplace, theater area and custom made wet bar with granite top and cabinetry. Entire project took about 3 months to complete. Can't say enough about this company. Great Job.

Reality Construction did a fantastic job on our bathroom remodeling projects. Our old and outdated bathrooms have been replaced with new, fresh and highly functional rooms. We were very pleased with the results as well and the attentiveness of Mike and Gena to the project.

Reality walked us through the selection process and kept us within budget. We presented them with some unique challenges, and they were able to give us a bathroom that was brand new from the studs on out, in an exceptionally reasonable amount of time. I would absolutely hire them again for any new remodeling project.

Total bathroom rehab to update 50's main bathroom of my son's home. Job well done. Mike was well organized and communicated well along the way. My son liked that Gina had a computer program that gave an idea of what the end product will look like. He also liked that they take you "shopping" for material that's within your budget. We liked that they used a title company to hold and pay out funds throughout the duration of the project.

I had gotten three bids for my basement remodel job and Mike was the one rooted in “reality” with his bid. He gave me the price and that’s what I paid except for a couple of change orders which we were expecting. I have heard so many horror stories about remodel jobs gone wrong because of a bad general contractor. I was prepared to have similar issues with mine, but found just the opposite. Mike knows the business, knows how much things are going to cost, and knows how things all fit together. If he doesn’t, he calls in other professionals and presents the facts back. While my basement wasn’t how I had envisioned it with a curved staircase, the end result gave me the feeling I wanted without the engineering nightmare and significant added cost. Mike addressed my queries promptly and if things didn’t look right, Mike came out and addressed the issues. Mike, Gina, Deb, and the rest of the Reality crew are the real deal and I would hire them again without getting additional bids.

Mike, Gina & Deb were great to work with. They always responded right away to any questions I had and the few issues that came up were addressed immediately and quickly resolved. All the contractors that came were friendly, knowledgeable and did quality work. I was also impressed with how well organized their whole process was. They gave us a step-by-step schedule and kept to it; the project was done by the date they promised. Most importantly, I love my new kitchen! Gina did a wonderful job with the design. I highly recommend Reality Construction.

Mike and his crews were wonderful to work with and took great care and focus with our basement remodel project. We had the entire basement stripped down to bare concrete and had two new rooms, a living area and a full bathroom added. It looks amazing and was completed within a day of the initial project completion date initially quoted. Very impressive!

Reality Construction did a great job on our kitchen remodeling and expansion project. We also did flooring replacement on the entire first floor. All the work was done very well and Mike/Gina were very helpful during the design and construction process. The quality of the installation work was excellent and the workers were all very friendly and helpful.

Excellent work by Reality Construction LLC. The price of the remodel did not exceed the original estimate despite some minor problems they found (house is almost 90 years old. They were reliable, prompt, professional, and finished the job just a week over projected, due to supply chain delays (Covid related). Mike, Gina, and Deb were easy to contact, and phone calls and questions were always answered promptly.

We were impressed by a good number of aspects of our lower level finishing experience through Reality Construction. The plan for creating a finished living space on our lower level was professional and displayed Reality’s obvious experience. Their communication was very good. Nearly every one of their subcontractors did outstanding work and were very pleasant people. The estimate and agreed upon costs never changed. They finished the project on schedule. The end result is a truly amazing finished space! Thank you, Mike and Gina. Aaron & Loree September 2020

This is a highly professional and efficient company. Mike and Gina are wonderful people to work with. Communication was excellent, I was kept informed every step of the way. The contractors they use are knowledgeable tradesmen. From demolition to the last coat of paint I received not only quality work but kindness.

Mike and Gina did a great job!!! They have a crew that is extremely efficient and professional. they had their crew come in and look at the work before the contract was signed. the price you sign for is the final price. no surprises. Mike was the only contractor who said to remove all the old walls so we could see all the hidden issues that might be there. he also could then replace all the old insulation and add vapor barrier. we now have all new walls and ceilings making the final appearance flawless. Reality has done a lot of remodels so nothing surprised them. their electrician, plumber, tiler, and carpenters have all worked together for years and it leads to a seamless work environment. Reality Construction completed our project exactly as we envisioned it. job was done on time and on budget. our advice for future remodelers is to hire a company that does quality work with experienced workman, don't do it on the cheap. we would absolutely recommend Reality Construction to anyone. THEY DID EXACTALY WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO.
