Tim Reid GC

I am always looking for contractors to team up with on residential projects. Tim was the perfect contractor for this residential remodel project. He came along just when I needed a contractor for a kitchen remodel. Tim was quick and responsive to my client and me. He approached the project as a team member who made the process all the easier for the homeowner. I will be working with him again with the next door neighbor who saw how Tim handled the kitchen remodel and how happy the homeowners were. I look forward to working with him on my many more projects. If you are looking for a General Contractor, Tim will bring his professionalism and experience to make your project successful.

Tim was referred to use by Idler's Home Appliances, as Idler's was the company that we purchased the cabinets, appliances and counter top. Tim installs all of Idler's cabinets. As our project fell outside of only cabinet install, we contacted Tim to provide an estimate on other remodel issues, which included kitchen tear out, wall removal, electrical, plumbing, tiling, etc. Tim provided a detailed estimate we considered quite reasonable. As he was installing the cabinets for Idler's, we looked no further for a General Contractor. I would highly recommend Tim as a General Contractor. He provided a timeline and maintained that timeline for all areas within his control. As we live outside the area, Tim would text pictures each day of the progress being made. Also, Tim would provide recommendations on alternatives such as lighting, flooring, appliance delivery and installation, etc. all of which we did. And, most importantly for us, he was clean and tidy. You don't see that often, or at all, with most GCs. On a personal note, my wife passed away suddenly in the middle of the project. I contacted Tim and he stated not to worry, he would take care of everything. He did!

Tim is fantastic to work with.! He is a wonderful communicator, we knew when he would be at our home, what was going to happen and he cleans up when he is done for the day. I am not one who likes our home disrupted, Tim was so respectful of my feelings and concerns. I really appreciate all that he did! The guys he has working with him are equally as wonderful. We could not be happier with the work that they did. We have a beautiful new kitchen!

Our experience with Tim Reid has been nothing short of wonderful. Tim and his crew were extremely professional and respectful of my home and my family while we were living through the kitchen remodel. He was always on time, patient and very knowledgeable how to accommodate any obstacle that came up. His workmanship is excellent and I couldn't be happier with the results.

As a professional flooring contractor myself, I have personally done business with a great number of contractors. As have my clients. So when I say that Tim stands out in a crowd, I speak from a vast amount of experience. Knowing his craft and business albeit important, is actually only half of Tim's worth to a project. Tim actually holds his client's in both his hands and his heart and works from this place, helping people navigate smoothly and assisting them in making the best choices for themselves. Building and remodeling can be a very stressful and confusing endeavor, but Tim makes it a more than enjoyable. Most importantly, Tim is not a yes man that will get you down the road and into trouble. He is going to give you every bit of his care and guidance so that you can make both creative and intelligent choices, without fear, or regret.

We found Tim Reid the old fashioned way. I walked up our street, and when I found a driveway I liked I knocked on the door. The neighbors, a couple, about our age (retired), invited me in and offered me coffee while they told me about remodels to their house. It turned out that Tim's specialty is kitchens and bathrooms, though he had arranged for a driveway build of pavers for them. They had a long-term relationship with him. The fact that this couple had taken an extended vacation, and entrusted Tim with their house key as he completed their new kitchen impressed me. "Call us when you're done," they had told him, which he did. He continues to do work for them, and I can say that when we contemplate more work, we will call him again. He is our contractor. Here is the work he did and subcontracted for us: 1)Remove asphalt driveway, on a steep hill, on a curve, and replace with aggregate, accented with bands of broken concrete. His subcontractors had to contend with exposing the sewer pipe and installing a French drain in front of the garage. 2)Remodel full master bath. This was a down-to-the-studs job. We are delighted with the results for both driveway and bath. My husband had done the contracting for our kitchen in 2005. We knew what was involved. Here is what we appreciate about working with Tim: 1)He gave us an estimate, and when we deviated from the suggested prices for hardware and materials, he kept us appraised. In fact, we checked in regularly as to costs, and when we could buy materials for delivery, he let us know and we saved some markup costs. 2)We had no idea what we wanted at first, just some iPhone photos of baths we'd seen recently. Tim brought us photos, showed us materials online, and as he got an idea of our flexibility, began to offer more unconventional solutions. He met us at the tile and stone places and walked around the yard with us. He brought us samples of stone for shower walls. It was fun, and he was patient and enthusiastic. 3)When work began, Tim brought in people he trusted. From demo to stonemasons, plumbers and painters, they were all neat, quiet (except for the demo), respectful of our privacy, and happy to see us at the door checking on the magic. And, Tim worked alongside them, doing some of the plumbing and the electrical himself. He was here virtually every day. The job took a couple of weeks longer than estimated, but that was due to some mutually agreed time off. All the men were on time, every time. They let us know when they arrived and when they left, and after work each day they cleaned up. 4)When Tim ran into some re-routing of vent pipes and occasional building goofs plumbers and we had done over the years, he fixed them. He explained design decisions in terms of utility in the room as well as looks. Because we decided on non-standard mirror-front medicine cabinets, Tim made them to order, including deeper than average shelving. My husband and I were both out of town as the final installation of vanity (with counter-top), custom window, and painting were completed. Tim vacuumed and wiped down and sealed everything, then he left the light on for the big reveal when I arrived home, late on a Saturday night. I called my husband so I could talk him through when I was the first to step in to see our new fancy master bath, essentially done. The final painting and window hardware were completed yesterday, Aug. 26, 2014, though we had been using the bathroom for a few days before. Tim specifically asked if we had noticed anything that might need adjusting. This was not a minor investment, but the experience, and the beautiful results are worth it. Nina and Dave Kidd

We have worked with Tim for a number of years and we have been very impressed with the quality of work and the service. A great contractor.

Tim Reid the consummate professional man . This man exudes a plethora of knowledge as it pertains to the construction business . Having a very positive attitude with a can do approach to any phase of work from plumbing to electrical , kitchen and bathroom cabinets etc. He sets the schedule and applies value engineering to help meet the budget , and works long hours in order to meet the client's deadline . For me it has been an absolute pleasure to work along side with him and look forward to a long and standing relationship.

My husband is a structural engineer and I'm an artist and when we purchased our own "fixer" in a great neighborhood, we were prepared for a lot of unexpected things, but not completely. We were faced with a home that needed plumbing, electrical, HVAC, window issues, a kitchen gut, master bathroom gut as well as general updating and decor. We were given Tim Reid GC number among others and found our salvation. Tim is thorough, professional and a perfectionist. He vetted our sub-contractors and put together a team that was A-1. With Tim's guidance, we have a beautiful, functional home that otherwise could have been a disaster. He was able to to guide us, provided insight and his considerable knowledge to our project. We cannot say enough about Tim Reid GC and suggest that you work with your designers to set scope and then give serious consideration to hiring Tim Reid GC to get it done.
