Raphael Homes exceeded our expectations in renovating every inch of our home. They worked above and beyond to reach the deadline of our move in. Our home is everything we wanted and more. We appreciate the thoughtfulness and extra care that was taken in the details. Rick's recommendations and options were so helpful in making the best decisions for our budget. Their sub-contractors were professional and talented.
We recommend Raphael Homes for excellent customer service and workmanship.

"Raphael Homes helped us obtain our dream by building our custom home and exceeding our expectations every step along the way. Even though we added substantial changes, a bath and additional work to the basement, they stayed on track and finished on schedule. Their sub-contractors are friendly, helpful, respectful, and always willing to go above and beyond.
Most people view building a new home as a stressful process but Rick and his team stayed on track and made this endeavor a great experience. We believe it is because of their integrity and hard work that this process went so smooth. Rick was always available for any of our questions or concerns. He has a phenomenal eye for detail, noticing infinite tasks needing attention and took care of them straight away. The personal relationship we built along with the craftsmanship, quality, and customization really makes Raphael Homes an exceptional builder."

High quality workmanship is evident in every part of my house that Rick and his crews worked on. Rick not only transformed the house, but handled difficult structural problems in the pre-existing structure."
I am not mentioning that he also dealt with my total panic as the project grew in scope; I have no regrets now."

In 2014 we purchased a 60 year old, one previous owner, 1,600 square foot mid-century modern rancher. We wanted a complete renovation of this house plus new construction that added another 1,200 square feet. We worked with an architectural firm where our daughter was our project's lead architect and then interviewed three of the more prominent renovation and custom builders in the area.
Raphael Homes had long term experience in renovation and custom building and the references to support excellence in both categories. Once selected, Rick Raphael became part of our design and build team. He worked with us, the architects and the sub-contractors to refine drawings, to prepare budgets and to make in field adjustments, all of which added to the overall quality of the project and our immense satisfaction with the result.
To us, Rick passed our two most important criteria - trustworthiness and looking out for our benefit at each step of the planning and construction phases. We should add two more points. First, both of us developed an easy, pleasant working relationship with Rick. He was unflappable even in the few times we weren't. Second, four years later Rick is still consigliore if we need professional help dealing with normal house repair/maintenance issues.
In summary...our experience with Rick and his company was outstanding. No project is without some stress but we can honestly say that if we had to do it all over again we would still choose and rely upon Rick Raphael, his staff and sub-contractors.

We have used Rick and Raphael Homes for four separate projects on our small cape cod home and we could not be happier with the quality of their work. Main project tasks have included the construction of a small garage, renovating our small kitchen, installing a new HVAC system, putting on a small addition to our second floor, and completely renovating our finished basement. Our first project was in 2014 and we just completed the most recent project in September 2018. We have found his prices to be very fair and the finished projects always go above our expectations. We are looking forward to the fifth and final project with Rick and his team in the near future. All of Rick's staff and sub-contractors are extremely professional and I have always felt comfortable with them in my home, whether I'm with them or not. I tend to add small projects on once the work has been started, and Rick is always happy to accommodate all my wishes, which I truly appreciate. And perhaps best of all, Rick and his team are always great about responding to calls, texts, and emails as soon as they can, so we get answers right away. We cannot recommend Raphael Homes enough! You won't regret it!

Comment from Raphael Homes:
Thank you Jessie, we have enjoyed working with you and look forward to the next phase!
Raphael Homes were terrific partners in our whole-house renovation project. We were fortunate to have interviewed several excellent builders, and in the end selected Raphael Homes. Beyond the detail and clarity of their proposal, the chemistry was right. During the extensive project Rick kept us informed of things that were on track and alerted us to surprises. He was a creative and diligent problem solver, and worked with the whole team- sub-contractors, engineer, architect and us - to achieve a result that far surpassed our expectations.

"We engaged Rick and his team on a large, complex remodel project and are extremely happy with the results. What's more, we continue to rely on Raphael Homes for ongoing maintenance, add-ons and advice. They are our go-to resource and have been there to help every time we call. When our roof was damaged by the recent storms, we called on them to manage the project because we knew we could trust them."

"I want to express my excitement with our new venture, the
renovation and addition to my future home. When I decided to downsize from my
present home that you built in 2004, I had no desire to consult with any other
builder. Your expertise and excellent craftsmanship that you provide in my
present home was and still is impeccable.
Today, 10 years later my home is
still beautiful and the center of every conversation when someone visits. The
lasting relationship and assistance that you have given me beyond the warranties
is confirmation that Raphael Homes is a builder that values the worth and
concerns of its customer. Thank you for the relationship!"

Rick Raphael is an amazing contractor. He is very calm and does not get agitated when a problem presents itself. He found several solutions and then offered them to us with his experienced recommendation. He was also a good listener and delivered what we wanted. He works with subs that were friendly, professional and very helpful with different aspects of the project. Rick, also, worked well with subs that were not his own recommendation.
I would recommend Raphael homes as they are experienced, professional, competitively priced and they deliver a beautiful end project.

"Rick, John, Carol and their excellent team of subcontractors brought both experience and openness to new ideas to building our new home. They realized our hopes and dreams for the home, and added important aspects they identified through their experience. They were always very responsive and worked flawlessly with our architect. Many warned us of the difficulties of building a home, but Raphael Homes made it both an exciting and pleasant experience."

I've worked with Raphael Homes on just about every kind of custom residential project--additions, renovations, new homes; small to large; simple to highly complex; budget to luxury. We've also worked together for a wide range of homeowners with a variety of interests and priorities. Raphael Homes has always been adaptable and responsive to every situation because they're highest priority is to see that everyone working on their projects respects the homeowners' goals and works together to produce the best possible result. As an architect, I'm highly dependent on the skill and enthusiasm of the general contractor to fulfill the vision my clients and I have worked out for a project. When I work with Raphael Homes I know that I'm working with a contractor who asks all the right questions and has as much enthusiasm for the design and doing things well as I do. I know they will sweat the details and never take shortcuts when it comes to solving problems that may arise during construction. I like working with Raphael Homes because I have total confidence in their work from digging the hole in the ground to installing the final finishes.

Rick Raphael, owner of Raphael Homes, has all the qualities of a great contractor. With all of the success that Raphael Homes has experience over the past few decades he hardly needs my endorsement, but I am very happy to write it. Rick and I have collaborated on many projects and I look forward to the next one. He is hard working, honest, very knowledgeable. In addition to those important qualities he has some more that are a little harder to find with contractors. Rick is always calm, there are never any emergencies - simply issues that need to be ironed out. He is an excellent listener. Rick understands the importance of being a team player. Lastly, Rick is always focused on making our clients happy. Rick is one of the very few contractors that gets my highest endorsement.
