I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ruben and his crew. Ruben was easy to speak with on all occasions. He was at the house when he said and never left a mess. He even made some valuabke suggestions that turned my kitchen remodel from good to excellent without adding to the estimated work schedule. His pricing is very competitive and I will continue to work with R&J going forward. This is the second project that I hired R&J for and have never been disappointed.
I was referred to Ruben of R&J Remodelation by a friend who flips homes, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, Ruben delivered fair pricing, top-notch quality, and the best contractor communication I’ve ever experienced. He works with urgency and attention to detail, making the entire process seamless.My wife and I bought our house in November 2024 and wanted to add a basement bathroom. Ruben not only brought our vision to life but also offered smart design and cost-saving ideas that made this bathroom the best one in our house! Our favorite touches are the floating vanity and the stunning mirrored feature wall behind the toilet—it’s absolutely gorgeous.Beyond the bathroom, Ruben has helped us with TV mounting, plumbing fixes, and other tasks around our 115-year-old home. We have plenty more projects planned, and without question, Ruben will be our go-to for all of them.I highly recommend R&J Remodelation—just not too much, because I need him available for my next projects! ?? If I could give 6 stars, I would. Thanks, Ruben and team, for incredible work!

Quality work, every time!! Ruben is very detail oriented so his work is always top notch. We hired him and his crew to completely redo our powder room and to make custom cabinetry for our walk-in closet. After talking through some ideas, we met him at two home stores and picked out the tile, vanity, and accessories we wanted. He got to work right away and was efficient and effective. The walk-in closet turned out amazing!He comes with a lot of experience and great recommendations and he really cares about making his customers happy. He did the work very diligently, quickly and with as little disruption as possible. He always cleaned up after himself and put stuff away. We were very happy with our powder room and closet so we worked with him 2 more times: once to completely redo our second bedroom, and the second time to redo our laundry room and change our front door. We were very pleased both times. That second bedroom came out beautifully!Again, he’s super organized and tidy and didn’t disrupt our daily lives. He’s also trustworthy. We set him up with a code to our front door lock and he and his crew came and worked during the day while we were at work or even when we were out of town for the weekend. I highly recommend him, he’s a straight shooter, true to his word and passionate about his work. We’ll keep working with him for all our home projects in the future!
