**★★★★★ — Gina Fox, Sept. 2019**

> Excellent contractor ..... He did my boutique remodel and was professional , very efficient & did the project in less time than expected.  I would highly recommend him for a commercial job.

**★ — vanessa powers, Jan. 2019**

> RATNER CONSTRUCTION
> The process started with owner of the company ,Steven Ratner, coming to give an estimate for the things we wanted done in the house. The price APPEARED fair, so we continued  with the company. We needed the kitchen and 2 bathrooms worked on. The bathrooms had cave like soffit above the tubs and that was our main reason for updating.
> They put a huge trash bin in the middle of the driveway which made it unusable for us to park. This huge bin stayed there for most of the work. The demolition was finished and that is when everything changed. We came in after demo to see that the soffit above  the tubs was still there. Ratner stated that wasn’t in the estimate and this is how the entire process of working with  Ratner went . The demo took place in MAY AND THE PROJECT WAS NOT COMPLETED UNTIL OCTOBER 11! The final inspection only passed because OUR  handy man was there willing to fix the things the inspector found not passable  on the 3rd visit….
> Ratner construction  failed almost every inspection that the city  Gainesville had ,sometimes 3 times. At one point the house was not worked on for weeks. It turned out that Ratner only had ONE person on his crew so when the person had a family emergency the house just sat! We were told on numerous occasions that no subcontractor would work  with Steven Ratner.
> The person that did the tile work was a new  hire for Ratner and Ratner also had him do the drywall. The tile work was beautiful, but the ceiling and walls were horrible, and we had to pay another company to come in a smooth out the ceiling and walls before a painter would touch them.  If you are still reading this yes, painting was not included .What was? Nothing it seems.
> Our only advice is to find  another contractor.  Steven Ratner continually throughout the process would change the price and hand us updated price contracts! If you do use Ratner Construction video every conversation you have with him. You will need it.
