We worked with Red House Remodeling for a kitchen remodel and updating our laundry room. The kitchen remodel involved removing a wall in our home and expanding our kitchen by several feet and updating our fire place. We updated flooring through a large part of our first floor. We also updated cabinets and flooring in our laundry room and removed cabinets to do hanging rods so we could air dry more clothing. I would highly recommended Red House. I was incredibly impressed with the way their organized our project and waiting to begin the project until all materials were in hand. I loved their designer who helped us make choices within our budget and to fit our design desire. I appreciated their calendaring system where I knew who would be in our home each day and what they would be working on. They were incredibly clean and meticulous in their work. The finished our project right on their projected time frame. They did whatever they could to minimize any living impact due to work being done. We did not have one single surprise through the project. They were excellent communicators and I always felt listened to from the very beginning to the very end. There is no question we would select them again for our next project and highly recommend them for any project you are considering.
My husband and I recently had the outside of our home, updated. New siding, paint, windows, the whole shebang!Ben and his crew were amazing. From the process of picking out siding, paint colors and ordering new garage doors, the final product is absolutely what I envisioned! We’ve used Redhouse remodeling in the past for our basement and know the type of work ethic Ben and his team have. We would recommend them hands-down for any type of home remodeling/renovation that you might have!Before and afters attached.purple shakes are before.
My wife and I have worked with several contractors over the past three years to remodel and refurbish the interior and exterior of our house. We’ve been fortunate in our choices of service providers and are pleased with most everyone we’ve worked with. But without doubt, one of our very best choices was Red House Remodeling who helped us plan and remodel most of our first floor.The kitchen and dining room was our biggest project, and thanks to Red House was an absolute success. The process they follow in presenting design options and planning every detail virtually guarantees the outcome. We spent a good deal of time upfront working with Jenna, one of the staff interior designers who walked us through several design options and then through every choice of products and materials for the project—from cabinets and counters to fixtures and switch plates. Not only did Jenna help us consider details we’d have never thought of on our own, she also offered great advice that helped cut through the overwhelming number of options to make choices that worked well together. Ben and Jenna then worked with us to wrangle the whole project down to the most important features and options at a price with which we were satisfied.With a complete schedule and set of plans that covered all the structural, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and finish work details, Ben and his crew put it all in motion and transformed a run-of-the-mill kitchen and dining room layout into just the functional space we were looking for. Ben brought in a structural engineer to verify all the needed underlying changes to ensure the job came off without a hitch—and that’s just what happened. We knew just what had to be done from the start; no mid-project surprises or compromises.We were impressed not only with Ben’s crew, but also with the great subcontractors they work with. And we appreciated Ben’s active management style and oversight of the work. We always knew where the project was at and what came next. I was especially grateful for all the precautions taken for dust control and the effort made to keep the area clean throughout the construction.In the end we have a gorgeous kitchen/dining room finished on time and on budget—and most importantly, no complaints! Following the kitchen, we worked with Red House to remodel our living room, too, with similarly fantastic results. Throughout both projects and since completion, Ben and company have been very responsive and accommodating. We’ll be taking on the second floor in a few years, and there’s no doubt who we’ll call.
We have used Red House Remodeling for two major projects on our home – upstairs hall bathroom and our kitchen and dining room. The projects were about 3 years apart and we came back to Red House for the more extensive kitchen and dining room project after the success of the upstairs hall bathroom. Ben is very organized in assessing the project and communicating the details. He also provides realistic expectations and guidance on the project to stay on budget and achieve our remodeling goals. The Red House team has a dedicated designer to help you with your project and picking out all the elements – floors, cabinets, counters, fixtures, etc. Our designer on both projects – Jenna – spent time with us at our home, at their office, and at various stores reviewing options and discussing pros and cons. She was very helpful in getting us the overall look we wanted in both cases and offered her opinions. She was also patient throughout the design process, allowing us to discuss and consider multiple options. One thing I especially appreciated is their recommendation that new elements can blend well with existing ones (like our new wood floors blending with our oak trim). Once all the details were settled and demolition began, Ben provided a detailed schedule for the project and stayed on schedule and communicated any major changes to that. With the bathroom remodel, the plumber accidentally damaged the new floor and Ben made sure this was replaced at no charge to us and tried to keep the schedule interruption to a minimum. With the kitchen remodel, we really had no major delays or issues come up. Ben and crew were very helpful in making sure our old cabinets could be salvaged for Habitat for Humanity Restore – which is a great way to keep used items out of the landfills and help low income homeowners looking to remodel. This also eliminated our need to have a dumpster in our driveway for the duration of the project. Ben’s crew and subcontractors were polite and generally very tidy in their construction process and accommodating to our requests through the kitchen remodel. Ben even delayed the demolition of our dining room at our request so we could have a bit more room for a couple extra weeks. Overall, we have had two great experiences with the Red House Remodeling team – from the initial consultation, thorough and dedicated design process, organized and timely demolition and construction, and follow up on the checklist of wrap up items – the team does an excellent job for their clients. We have plans to use them again in the future.
Our experience with the staff at Red House Remodeling has been extremely positive. They were very responsive to our wants and requests, and extremely courteous and professional...from the workers to Ben and Jenna. We'd originally met with three different firms, and after a month long process, we chose Red House. Our project involved taking down a wall, expanding and redesigning the kitchen to better fit our wants, windows, patio door, and flooring for the first floor. Throughout the design process, we worked with Jenna and found her input and expertise IMMEASURABLE. Once the construction phase started, we worked more with Troy, Chris, and Ben. The project was rather extensive, the timeline long, and we're glad we chose Red House Remodeling as our contractor, and would do so again in the future for other projects.
