**★★★★★ — westchester\_wp1090, Sept. 2021**

> My wife and I are new homeowners in Westchester, and we had a pleasant experience working with Richard, Miguel and the rest of his team on our basement remodeling project.
>
> We remodeled our entire basement, from demoing walls to ensure an open space, installing wood vinyl flooring, tiling an entire bathroom, and creating a brand-new bar area (from the bare bones of a wet bar left over from the previous owner.
>
> Throughout this entire process the Bare team was very easy to communicate with. We knew next to nothing about remodeling and they were very patient providing an easy learning experience and recommendations as the project moved along.

**★★★★★ — Mona Zhang, Jan. 2021**

> We are new homeowners, and we had a great experience working with Rich and his team on our remodeling projects. Not only did we remodel four bathrooms, but we also had projects like installing a kitchen hood, speaker system, and kitchen cabinet for trash. We were happy with the results--the tiling work was particularly excellent--but more importantly, we were happy with the process! They were professional and fair, and always easy to reach. They took feedback very easily and answered all our questions. In our case, we hired our own interior designer, and Rich's team was able to coordinate everything with her so that we only had to make decisions that mattered to us.

**★★★★ — Patrick DiNapoli, April 2017**

> These guys were very professional and took great care in turning my 1980's kitchen into something more modern and beautiful. The whole thing took about 8 days and will last forever.
> The price and time frame was great. The crew was amazing and if your looking to get out the old and into the new i recommend them.

**★★★★★ — Carmaletta Street, April 2017**

> Everyone working on my project was professional and did a great job, the crew did the job on time and kept me informed. This was very helpful during a stressful time. Thank you guys so much for all that you did will do business again .

**★★★★★ — Dean Russell, April 2017**

> All I can say is wow. These guys did a fantastic job. We needed our bathroom redone. My wife just hated it. Bare Renovations were clear from the get go as to what we should expect, how long it would take and what the results would look like. It came beautiful. My wife and I could be more thrilled about it. They were skillful and answered all the questions throughout the process. My wife was very nit picky and wanted to observe much of the time. They were respectful of our wishes and worked with us. I highly recommend these guys.

**★★★★★ — Aaron Powell, April 2017**

> Wanted to renovate my kitchen and hired this company and couldn't be more happy with the end result. They were knowledgeable and professional and got everything exactly the way my wife and I wanted. Definitely check them out for your renovation needs.

**★★★★★ — laulaumoss, March 2017**

> Richard Kessner's team was extremely professional, timely, organized and respectful of our home. His crew worked very diligently to get the job done. They were very knowledgeable in all areas of the project. Our kitchen, new hall closet, bathroom doors, and wall closure came out beautifully.
