### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Martin, May 2021**

> I couldn't have asked for a more professional team to carry out renovation on my shower & fire place.
> I am very pleased with the great results that are due to high quality workmanship.  I highly recommend the team.

**★★ — takrina, Aug. 2020**

> If you have a simple, single room job and no specific time frame then they may be your guys.  For large scale renovations where you need to be back in your home you're better off with a contractor that has his own crews and can make the project a full time effort.

**Comment from Renovative Resource:**

> This was indeed a challenging project with many unforeseen conditions that affected the schedule greatly. We did bring the project to a very successful close, albeit well past the initial timeframe. We understand how difficult a remodel can be, especially a major one where the client is living in the home during the construction. I feel we did everything we could within our power to complete this project with the highest level of quality and I believe these clients would agree.

**★★★★★ — kathrynleereed, May 2019**

> Steve helped us through major renovations while we lived at home with two dogs, a toddler and our second baby on the way.  He was incredibly professional and reliable and our home transformation was beautiful!
> I would absolutely work with him and his team again!
> Katie

**★★★★★ — Rocky Mountain Visuals, May 2017**

> We hired Steve to wall in our loft to create an additional bedroom in our townhouse. He was great to work with and is a solid communicator. He did a great job organizing all of the different stages from framing to drywall to getting the door hung in the space.
>
> We recently recommended Renovation Resource to a family member who is getting their kitchen remodeled. Their experience with Steve has been great also. I highly recommend his work.
>
> Thanks Steve!

**★★★★★ — lfellion, March 2016**

> Provided support for our kitchen remodel. Was a great resources because he helped us do the work we are able to do ourselves and found trades to do the work we could not do. Did the original design, directed us to products and facilitated communication among trades so that the project went smoothly.

**★★★★★ — User, March 2016**

> Steve Suchy, of Renovative Resources is kind, organized, very professional and knowledgeable of the building industry. He has been a true "resource" for me in my small but daunting(to me) reno project. He is simply the best!

**★★★★★ — astahl51514, Dec. 2015**

> Steve made our basement project run smoothly and efficiently. His recommendations for the trade work was so valued and his attention to detail was greatly appreciated. I would highly  recommend Renovative Resource to anyone who is a DIY and considering a remodel project. His experience in the remodeling business is a valuable resource to get our project started.

**★★★★★ — Eclectic Twist, Aug. 2015**

> We decided it was time to embark on a kitchen remodel to fix the terrible layout and flow our current kitchen had.  We called and got estimates from a few different local companies all of which gave us estimates of $85-120,000, well over our $50,000 budget.  I stumbled on Steve here on Houzz and gave him a call.  We really liked his business model and felt like he was the perfect person to work with to complete this project. From the beginning he was so easy to work with and that continued throughout the process. We opted for being our own contractor and also wanted to do some of the work ourselves.  If we had a problem or concern he was a phone call away.  The trades were all fantastic, I can't say enough positive things about them either!  Very professional, very friendly and did great work.  The project came out beautifully, on time and on budget.  Beyond thrilled with our new kitchen and will most definitely be working with Steve on finishing our basement in a few years!  Absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to remodel/renovate any part of your home!

**★★★★★ — hirerite, March 2015**

> Steve was a pleasure to work with. He has a wealth of experience in the field and freeing shared very valuable tips. He listened to all of our thoughts and ideas and thoroughly incorporated them into his design. Although we completed the renovation ourselves his consultations were creative and encouraging and the estimates were accurate. I would recommend his services highly.

**★★★★★ — dcannon882, Feb. 2015**

> Once my husband and I decided to tackle a kitchen remodel, the frustration began. We contacted and received a handful of estimates from local contractors only to find out that, based on our budget, a kitchen remodel was out of the question.  UNTIL I found Steve Suchy and his company, Rennovative Resources, on Houzz.  Steve was prompt in returning my call and the first meeting was scheduled. We immediately felt at ease with Steve's friendliness and confidence. He explained his concept of being an educator in the remodel process and explained how he could do as little or as much of the project, and would charge for services accordingly. Since both my husband and I are DIYers, we were quickly hooked on this concept.  Steve listened carefully to what we wanted and then shortly came back with an estimate based upon the scope of what we wanted his help with. We were blown away with how much we would save with me being general contractor under his guidance.  He was hired!Steve drew up 3 different kitchen designs.  After finalizing the design we liked, he set up a meeting at our house with his sub contractors. He then constructed a timeline, solidified the budget, and provided a wealth of information for me to follow. He was also fine with me using my own subs for parts of the project. Best of all he was just a phone call away for any questions that arose.I went a bit over his budget, only because I chose a couple more expensive upgrades, but still well thousands below original bids we had received. Long story short, my kitchen is amazing!  Thanks so much, Steve Suchy/Rennovative Resources!

**★★★★★ — bararacutchin, Feb. 2014**

> I am a designer that has worked with Steve for almost a year. During that time he has referred clients to me to help in the selection of materials such as tile, flooring and counter surfaces. Steve's clients are always informed and knowledgeable based on Steve helping to educate them. I love working with Steve's clients because the projects happen on time and on budget.

**★★★★★ — kimebriated, Feb. 2014**

> We found Steve and Renovative Resource via Houzz for his unique business model about helping and empowering DIYers. We bought the house knowing a kitchen remodel was necessary and thought we were up for the challenge having just finished and sold a lightly remodeled home. Trying to plan the project was a daunting task and where we started looking for help. Steve fit the bill perfectly, as engineers and reasonably experienced DIYers we were quite capable and willing to tackle a majority of the tasks but didn't know what all was required and in what order.
>
> Steve was exceptional in helping fill that void for us, his experience managing these projects and trade knowledge was crucial in making sure we were on the right track and on schedule (especially with long lead items). He provided accurate unbiased expectations for what specific portions of the project should cost (demo, drywall, tile, plumbing, hvac, etc) which not only helped weed out gouging contractors but allow us to decide what projects were worth paying for or tackling ourselves. Speaking of contractors, we found in nearly every case Steve's contacts in the various trades were not only price effective but yielded excellent results we were happy with (and yes we did quote out the competitors). Additionally being DIYers we wanted to tweak and customize certain aspects of our design and Steve was very supportive and encouraging providing experienced advice and input. We’re very happy with our consultant contractor and I would definitely recommend Steve for any remodeling project

## Community Q&A

**Q: Lustrolite** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is there any issue with moisture being trapped behind the acrylic Lustrolite panels?  Looks nice, but seems like it might b a cleaning nightmare...wouldn't it show waterspots, fingerprints etc.? 

Thanks!

A: I have not heard that from the client. It actually cleans very easily...I'm sure it does probably show fingerprints like any shiny surface would. As for water behind the panels, we used a waterproof backing and troweled the adhesive just like tile to prevent any water issues.

**Q: whay type of floor... wood, laminate, other and what dimensions.** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This is an 6" wide plank engineered wood floor by DuChateau and has a natural oil finish applied to it. It is particularly sensitive to humidity levels, so buyer beware.

**Q: love this kitchen . Can you tell me more about the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)*

i have a 10 by 9 kitchen . How much would a remode with these cabinets cost

A: The cabinetry is all from a locally owned Cabinetry company in Windsor CO named Milarc Cabinets. They are a Black Walnut stained select alder with the Artisan style doors and drawer fronts.

**Q: Where is the cabinet from?  Is the top custom?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The cabinet was built by a local cabinetry company here in northern Colorado called Milarc Cabinets. I believe the wood species is a select alder with a dark coffee stain. The countertops are a solid 3CM thick Quartz and I believe the color is "Sparkling Gray".

**Q: Love the Countertop!** *(in Photo Questions)*

What color is the Countertop?

A: The granite color is called "Lennon".

**Q: Really like the tone of the lustrolite - which shade is it? Thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This is the "Arctic White" color of Lustrolite.
