Ron just finished remodeling the bathroom in my late 1970s contemporary. It had suffered the ravages of time, odd additions, and some less than quality DIY from previous owners. I had some idea of what I wanted, and Ron listened carefully to that. He then gave me some much better design ideas based on what I told him and presented options. His careful attention to detail, to design, and to ensuring quality work from himself and every subcontractor he uses has resulted in a bathroom way beyond my dreams. The workmanship is excellent, as is his professionalism. This is a second home, and I couldn't be there to oversee the work on a regular basis. I didn't need to be. Ron was in touch as he needed to be, and he took as good care of my home and project as if it were his own. I have a kitchen and downstairs bath remodel lined up for him next, and I cannot wait to see what he suggests and does with those.

We cannot recommend Ron enough. He remodeled our two (and one half) bathrooms, and we love the result. He gave us a reasonable quote and was conscientious about sticking to it. The guys he brought in (for plumbing, tiling etc) were excellent and—like everyone Ron works with—genuinely pleasant and thoughtful. Beyond his evident craftsmanship, we also valued Ron for his aesthetic knowledge and instinct. This was very important as our bathrooms were especially challenging in size and architectural design. Factoring in our spending limits, practical needs, and tastes, he consistently came up with great suggestions which we were pleased to follow. Throughout the process, and during the difficult uncertainty of 2020, he proved to be a reliable and communicative partner. It's clear that we lucked out in finding Ron, and wouldn’t hesitate to hire his services again... if we can grab space on his calendar before someone else does.

Wow!!! Ron sets the bar for best experience ever with a contractor. We purchased a vacation home in Sunriver and walked through it together with Ron, decribing our vision and leaning on his expertise. We love that he approaches his business as a partnership with the client, offering design, material and labor options. Ron always shares the pros/cons for an informed decision and is extremely communicative so we always knew how things were tracking. The vision was delivered, including some added scope, on the agreed timeline and price structure. So unreal! Here are some specifics on our project. We decided to replace all of the flooring, build a new kitchen island, create a focal fireplace facade and paint the entire interior. Ron knew we intended for this to be a short-term rental as well so every step along the way he made recommendations of materials that would accomplish the look we wanted to achieve and also provide the durability necessary for renters. We personally wanted to dedicate several weekends towards doing some of the improvements ourselves and Ron was amazing about embracing that and working through the schedule together. During those weekends I often found new projects that slightly expanded the scope, which Ron always accommodated. Since everything is a handshake with him, there was never a mess of change order agreements; he just adjusted his work plans and reflected the new work in the billing. Working with Ron from about 200 miles away felt like we were working with a next door neighbor. He has become our friend through this process and still holds a key to our home. In fact, we recently contacted him for a small outdoor project that he readily squeezed into his already busy schedule and we are so pleased to know that piece of our home is now up to code and build to withstand the Central Oregon elements. Bravo Ron!

Remodel/addition Ron Brown is simply an amazing contractor/building designer. He has done some beautiful work in our home in Bend, Oregon and we loved it so much we want to fly him to Houston, Texas to do work on our main home. I would highly highly recommend him. Not only is he creative but he also is very professional and gets his work done in a timely manner. I want to share pictures of the recent project we had him do to our Bend home. An outdoor shower. Love love love it!!!❤️❤️

My husband and I remodeled our first home on our own, with limited budget. We were looking for a contractor who could do some select and advanced tasks that we were not qualified to do on our own. We found Ron to do take on these elements- and he did a great job!!-- but even beyond that, Ron was a blessing. Not only did we hire him to help us with the big technical projects, we also fell in love with his aesthetic surrounding barn wood incorporation. He transformed our fire place and built us the kitchen shelves of my dreams. He opened up our kitchen by cutting us a wall window (framed in barn wood) . He built all these things with integrity and love. Truly an artist at work. Additionally, Ron acted as a mentor when we were navigating elements of our DIY renovation. I will always remember how much he helped us. always. He has such a big heart, and everyone who works for him is the same. I highly recommend Ron and his team.

Ron Brown has our highest possible recommendation. We bought a log home in Bend, with the plan of making minor improvements. After meeting Ron, we felt comfortable putting the job in his hands, and we couldn't have made a better decision. A "small" renovation turned in to many months of work and a major remodel (our decision to keep adding more jobs to his to-do list!). Since we live out of the area, we had to communicate long distance, and trust Ron to make decisions when we were not always there. We soon realized that, not only is he a skilled craftsman, but also has a great artistic eye for details that we may have never considered. Our project was very much a collaboration between Ron and ourselves, and he always had wonderful suggestions and vision. Over the months of working together, we met and became friends with his young family, and Ron became a friend as well as our contractor. We would trust him completely to take on any project and complete it with professionalism and care. We are thankful to him for caring for our home like it was his own, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results!

We purchased a condo in Bend that needed some artistic renovations. Since we don't live in Bend, we were a bit nervous about finding a good, reliable contractor. We saw Ron on Yelp and reached out. He returned my call immediately which we really appreciated and in talking to him, I felt totally at ease and knew he was the right person for the project. He got the keys to our condo before we did!! He kept us in the loop and he kept everything moving on schedule. Above all, he did a fantastic job! Not only did he do the renovations that we envisioned, he made suggestions for bettering our ideas. He really "got" what we wanted and made it happen. We couldn't be happier with the finished product! After the condo projects were done, we hired Ron to build out custom pallet wood headboards and floating nightstand shelves. They are amazing! Ron was so much fun to work with that if we could have created more projects for him to do, we would have! Just an all-around nice guy & we couldn't recommend him more! Thanks Ron!!

Ron brown was hired to do some remodeling work in my bathroom. He did an amazing job. He was here when he said he would be, always on time. He made sure the area of work was cleaned up before he left. He did his work quickly and efficiently. You could tell he takes great pride in his work as he was always asking me to check his work to make sure I was satisfied. He was always friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Ron for any home improvement project.

I have only one word to describe the remodeling work of Ron Brown "The Finisher"- Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous!!! After suffering some significant damage to my Beach house in NJ after Hurricane Sandy, I turned to Ron for help. He had come highly recommended by a neighbor, and this was one recommendation i'll be eternally grateful for. Ron is NOT your typical general Contractor who is a "Jack of all trades but Master of none"! Ron is truly a "Jack of all trades & Master of all"! Although very modest, Ron is a true craftsman who has capabilities, and most importantly, expertise in all aspects of remodeling including cabinet making, woodworking, siding & roofing, electrical, drywall, framing, insulation, masonry, tiling, etc. What's most impressive is his ability to offer and find great and reasonable solutions to difficult remodeling projects. He is both transparent, honest, and provides frequent follow-up and status throughout the project. His attention to detail as well as all the "extra" effort he puts into his work showcases itself. Ron first and foremost treats your house and project as if it were his own. And you can't beat the prices! My remodeling is now complete and my home looks better now then when it was first built!!! Bravo! John
