Ron in particular broke the stereo type of a bad contractor. He always went the extra mile for me and took great care in remodeling in putting in the addition on my childhood home. Always available even when I probably shouldn’t be contacting him! He made the entire process easy and enjoyable. There were no surprises and we worked together for close to a year. I want to thank him for providing such a beautiful home for my family and I. **Comment from Bob Stern Building Company:** > Ara, > Thank you for the kind review. It was a pleasure working with you and Della on this beautiful project. ### All 11 reviews **★★★★★ — Sarah Scott, Dec. 2019** > We hired Bob Stern building to redo our kitchen, flooring, staircase and railing.

Remodel of lower level walk out basement starting August, 2015 thru November, 2015 and remodel of our first floor: kitchen, flooring, doors, trim, lighting, etc., starting April, 2016 thru July, 2016. Very knowledgeable in the home remodeling business. Worked diligently with us to pick out flooring, cabinets, lighting etc. Willing to work with us on special request after the fact. We stayed pretty close to budget. Ron Stern, Vice President, has excellent contractors working with him. Flooring, lighting, cabinetry technicians' were conscientious, pleasant, friendly and did an excellent job of cleaning up after themselves. Everyone of the workers had a great attitude including Ron. **★★★★★ — Judie Levitt, May 2016** > I loved working with Ron from Bob Stern Builders!

Top notch personalized service. **★★★★★ — Janet Brandon, July 2015** > We are very glad that we selected Ron Stern as our contractor. He rebuilt our master bath and powder from the studs out and did an excellent job. Ron (the son) is a delight to work with. He is honest, straight forward, tries to save you money on the project, extremely knowledgeable and very fair. He spent a great deal of time with me helping me make selections. I never felt rushed or pushed into something I didn't want. He has excellent taste and gives very good guidance in product selection. He shows up on time and his workers do a good job. Even after six months, when a small problem arose and he came promptly to fix it. I would not hesitate to recommend him. **Comment from Bob Stern Building Company:** > Jan, thank you for your review. It was a pleasure working with you on this project. I am very happy with the way your project turned out. **★★★★★ — mstandrew10, Dec. 2013** > Hired Bob Stern Building to renovate our upstairs bath. With the arrival of our new born quickly approaching, we wanted to make sure the bath would be completed in time. Working with Ron Stern, he was amazing to work with. His design ideas were extraordinary which we immediately fell in love with. He made sure that we were well informed, educated, and aware of the scheduling. Not to mention he was often at our home to supervise and make sure we were happy with the work. If we needed any changes, it was addressed immediately. His crew is first-class and a pleasure to work with. > > > Ron is upfront and honest in everything he does. He is committed to making sure the customer is happy and goes above and beyond to ensure the job is done right and on time!!! > > I highly recommend and definitely plan to work with Ron on future projects. > > Sincerly, > Mark St. **★★★★★ — babs11223344, Dec. 2013** > Bob Stern had done a home remodel for my in-laws many years ago, so when we decided to renovate our kitchen we got a quote from the company along with others. The company was competitive and was willing to work within our budget. Ron Stern lead the charge and was wonderful to work with. We had never done a major remodel before and weren't sure of the progression of steps, but Ron was very hands-on and with us every step of the way from the layout down to the hardware selection for the cabinets. As a family-run business, they're very focused on their clients' individual needs and we felt that we got a lot of personal attention. We're so happy with our new kitchen and I'd recommend Bob Stern Building Company (and Ron Stern) to anyone (and I have!). **★★★★★ — mfranklin23, Dec. 2013** > We had a Master Bedroom built onto the back of our house. Ron, did a great job with all the specifications and making sure we maximized the space for each room. We used to have a 11x11 bedroom and now have a 15x14 Bedroom with a large walk-in closet and huge bathroom, double sink, large glass shower and private lavatory. The job was done in in its scheduled timeframe. I did get 3 other quotes of other Birmingham Contractors and nobody could beat the service and pricing. I would recommend Ron and Bob Stern to everyone looking to get more space, quality of construction and piece of mind knowing your going with a true leader and professional. **★★★★★ — claudia1421, Dec. 2013** > The renovation expanded the second floor bedroom of our bungalow into a master suite with 3/4 bath, significant increase of closet space, added linen closet and an office/work area. Also, the house's existing full bath was completely renovated. We received advice from blueprints to completion about what would best suit our needs. Supervision of the job and teams was excellent with a focus on detail and quality of work. When difficulties arose, they were addressed immediately and resolved to our satisfaction. **★★★★★ — Marlene Craft, Dec. 2013** > This was a complete remodel of a 25 year old kitchen, including removing the ceiling and raising it to 9 feet, all new cabinetry, granite countertops, redoing of floors. They did an absolutely fabulous job, cabinets of the highest quality, workmanship 5 star and all the tradesman were professional and great to work with. This company made a large project stress-free and enjoyable. I recommend them to anyone who appreciates quality work and expects perfection. **★★★★★ — tewolfe, Sept. 2012** > I used Ron Stern to design and build a custom wall unit for my family room. Ron and his team provided this unit to our expectations and with his recommendations gave us ideas we likely would have not considered. The quality of the cabinetry was excellent and timetable for this project were accurate. I am having them do my kitchen next. ## Selected projects - [Birmingham Large Remodeling Project (Part 2)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/birmingham-large-remodeling-project-part-2-pj-vj~7424389) - Location: Birmingham, MI - Photos: 37 - [Birmingham Interior Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/birmingham-interior-remodel-pj-vj~7424373) - Location: Birmingham, MI - Photos: 17 - [Bloomfield Hills Kitchen Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bloomfield-hills-kitchen-addition-pj-vj~1228340) - Location: Bloomfield Hills, MI - Photos: 9 - Description: Added 25' x 14' to the existing rear of the house to allow for a new kitchen with eat in breakfast room and walk in pantry.
