Rick's Renovations Inc

We recently had a custom gas fireplace installed by Rick's Renovations and couldn't possibly be happier with the outcome. The attention to detail, superb craftsmanship, and unwavering commitment to the highest levels of quality that Rick and his team bring to their work is unmatched in the industry. We now have a gorgeous fireplace that not only looks like an art installation, but will likely outlast every other part of our home thanks to Rick. Is there an option SIX out of 5 stars???

Our 50 year old porch was literally tumbling off the back of our house, putting renewal of our homeowners policy on the line. We'd finally saved enough to replace it, but had no idea which contractor we could trust with that hard-earned cash! A number of neighbors had reported good experiences with Rick's Renovations, so I gave Rick Bowes a call. Although his schedule was packed, he graciously agreed to take on our project. What a blessing! Rick is reliable, kind, prompt, professional, and that rare breed of builder, these days at least, who operates with integrity. When issues came up, he took a balanced approach to finding solutions which not only protected his profit margins, but also give us all we'd paid for. He managed the project schedule and budget effectively, keeping it within range of the estimates originally provided. Rick is also able to work with those of an artistic bent who notice and appreciate details others overlook. I would definitely hire him again. Our only snag involved an unexpectedly large increase in the price of aluminum between the time our initial estimate was done and the time our railings were crafted. The railings are beautiful, but this event -- beyond the control of anyone involved -- did cause a cost overrun albeit the only one. My advice to those doing a project during the current COVID/high inflation period? Check materials costs again just before work begins so there aren't any surprises. The first photo is Christmas morning sunrise on our new porch! So glad it was in the 60s and we could enjoy it. Other photos include demo day, railing installation. More to come . . .

We are extremely pleased with our garage renovation! The crew was reliable, trustworthy, and their work exceeded our expectations. The crew arrived on time daily and worked effectively and efficiently until the day ended. The workmen were pleasant to interact with keeping us informed of their progress and timeline. We highly recommend Rick’s Renovations Inc. and look forward to working with them again on future projects.

Rick and his crew did fantastic work on our home addition. They were always professional and courteous to the entire family. We were so pleased with the job we originally contracted with them, we have already asked them to do a few additional projects in the future. Definitely recommend!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Rick's Renovations. His work is immaculate! He is professional, punctual and dependable! I would highly recommend them for all of your projects, large or small!

I called several companies and Rick was one of two that actually called me back and came out to look at it. He gave us sound recommendations, advice, and a reasonable price. (The other contractor that came out was was about 60% more in cost for the same job.) Rick’s word is his bond. He will give you a detailed estimate. He stays in constant communication so you know where he is in the project. He and and his crew are meticulous in their work and even clean up after themselves each day. I just can’t say enough good things about this company. You will not be disappointed by hiring him and his crew. My wife and I both feel blessed to have found him to do our renovation job!

Have you ever had a contractor call you to say he was expecting he'd hear from you, because of the point your project was at, but he hadn't heard from you, so he was calling to check in to ensure you were happy with how things were going? I have! I never do these reviews... experiences, good or bad, don't impress me enough to write about them. However, workmanship and customer service like this MUST get a shout out! Great experience from beginning to end. Thank you Rick!

We had a hidden leak around our back door resulting in rotten sub-flooring. It most likely had leaked for years. We didn’t know until the oak flooring became water stained. Rick Bowes removed the door and installed a drip pan. When that didn’t work, Rick returned. “ “It’s like a puzzle to me , now.” he told me. With persistence and dedication to good building practices. Rick found several problems and corrected them.

When I contacted Rick, he immediately called me back. I had a kitchen remodel in a 1951 cape cod that had been remodeled 40 years ago. Rick designed the kitchen with me for a maximized use of space in my galley kitchen and peninsula. That included rebuilding the downdraft exhaust for a new gas range. He and his crew were timely, conscientious, and respectful. Rick was very hands on and knowledgeable. Communication was prompt. I would definitely use him again.

We found Rick’s Renovations on Houzz.com and he promptly gave us an estimate. There was an immediate trust factor which continued until our Master Bath renovation was completed. Our new bath is amazing and is exactly what we told Rick we wanted. It is like walking into a calming spa! Rick is very honest and a perfectionist in his work. We miss him as he became part of the family. We highly recommend Rick’s Renovations to everyone.

We had a very unusual project. The second story bricks, over a room that extends out, were cracking. The cause was unknown when we started. Rick did an excellent job of estimating what likely needed to be done. As the project progressed, Rick credited the items that didn't need to be done and added in the additional items. This was done very fairly. Rick went above and beyond to get a good match on the bricks and mortar. The match is as close as possible. Rick's employee team and subcontractors were very prompt, proficient, and were very friendly/easy to work with. Rick manages his subcontractors very well, and was even on-site, when not required, to make sure things were done well and any issues were resolved quickly. This project went very well, due to Rick. We will definitely use Rick for any future projects we need to have done. I highly recommend Rick's Renovations, INC.

I found this company through a neighbor that had good results. I had them build a small pool house. I must say Rick listened to what I described that I wanted and with very few tweaks, we had the drawn plans within a few days. My knowledge of construction is above average and I’m typically very critical. In this case I just couldn’t find anything to complain about from beginning to end. The work was done very professionally and they cleaned up daily. I would definitely use them again......

Last fall we contracted with Rick's Renovations to build an addition to our house. We wanted something that would function like a sun room but also provide some much needed living space. Rick Bowes had the vision and expertise to get the job done. Importantly, Rick is a hands on contractor. For two months he was dressed in a gray sweatshirt, jeans and boots working side by side with his crew. Punctual. Professional. Polite. Conscientious about his work, particular about quality and customer satisfaction. Easy to communicate with. We are very pleased with end result as well as the overall experience. We feel very fortunate to have found Rick's Renovations.

We were looking for help renovating a room over our garage. We called three different contractors and Rick was the only one that called back. We are so pleased with his work, he did a awesome job and his crew was courteous and professional!!! He did the whole job in under two weeks (Just like he said) in fact when we need another renovation - we’re calling Rick’s Renovations!!

This summer we were trying to remodel our kitchen and remove a load bearing wall. We contacted Rick of Ricks Renovations and were very glad we did. First he made good recommendations about the project and also caught a mistake the engineer missed which would have cost us extra times and money to remove the wall. He was always on time and was very professional and made sure the work area was always cleaned up at the end of the workday so we could continue to use the kitchen while the work was going on. Also another contractor who was supposed to refinish our floor couldn't so I called Rick and he got a contractor he uses to do the floor for us. We can not say enough good things about Rick's Renovations and would recommend them to anyone.

Ricks Renovations just completed the reconstruction of our downstairs after some water damage we received from our washing machine overflowing. They were always professional, courteous, and paid particular attention to detail. The quality of his work was excellent. They arrived on time and the job site was always cleaned up at the end of every day. I felt comfortable leaving them in my home while I went to work daily. The end result was beautiful and we couldn’t be more happy. This is the second time we have used Rick. He was the first person we called for this job and we will not hesitate to use him again in the future.

We used Rick’s Renovations to renovate our kitchen and to make garage door and siding repairs. Rick was prompt starting the work and very thorough in performing the work required. He responded quickly to any questions we had and Rick and his crew were courteous, knowledgeable and professional. We were kept up to date as to when different phases of renovation would occur. The jobs have not been to large or small for Rick to handle professionally. We would recommend Rick’s Renovation for any home improvement project.

We had the best experience with our whole house remodel with Rick and his team. He was available throughout the process to answer any questions we had. It was very easy to leave the stress to him so I could take care of our newborn! Thanks to Rick and all for everything! The house looks amazing!

We are in love with our new master bathroom! Rick did an excellent job from start to finish on our on renovation. The project was completed on time, on budget, and the quality of his work is excellent. We have had bad experiences with contractors in the past and can’t say enough nice things about Rick and his team. We’ll definitely be hiring him for future projects.

We highly recommend Rick's Renovations for any project on your list. This was our second project with Rick. He did a wonderful job on our bathroom shower expansion. We had another company recommended by our Insurance agency onsite to work on some water damage in our kitchen. They weren't getting the job done. We convinced them to let us bring Rick and his team into the project instead. The work started rolling along after that! All of his subcontractors are outstanding craftsman and extremely easy to work with. Rick and his team do a great job of managing expectations and alleviating any uneasiness along the way too. We won't hesitate to call Rick's Renovations for our next project.

Rick’s Renovations did a superb job adding a kitchen extension to our older (1929) brick home. He and his team worked through numerous challenges including building several case openings in former exterior walls that required structural metal beams. Rick did great work matching the brick/mortar exterior to our aged main house and added all the right details to make the extension look like it was part of the original plans. The inside work included 500 square feet of new kitchen space with a kitchen island that is over 50 square feet of granite. It all exceeded our expectations, made an old house look elegant on the outside, with a beautiful new kitchen inside. (Even all the subcontractors were impressed!) We cannot say enough about Rick’s professionalism, patience with homeowner requests, selection of sub-contractors, and ‘hands on’ approach. Working with his team every day, his attention to fine details ensured the final appearance was absolutely outstanding and super functional. Rick completed our challenging project with professional structural skill, finely finished detail, personalized attention and within budget. Anyone concerned about having a project completed with skill, professionalism, and personal attention should contact Rick’s Renovations.

I hired Rick's Renovations to update my 2.5 bathrooms. The two full bathrooms were totally gutted down to the studs. The new bathrooms are just beautiful and so fresh! Any and all concerns during the project were addressed and resolved immediately. I would go through this process again with Rick and his crew.

As a certified draftsman In Chesterfield VA I have worked with Rick Bowes of Rick's Renovation for many years. He is trustworthy, honest and straightforward. I would recommend him for any job..large or small!

I hired Ricks Renovations to remove a load bearing wall in my living room, reinforce the foundation to support the added weight, and the finish work to go along with it. I later hired him to level some base cabinets for a semi built-in shelving system under my tv. Lastly we had him remove a ceiling light and replace it with recessed lighting. He is extremely professional and always on time. Provided timely updates for me and always kept me in the loop if their were any changes.

Rick did a tremendous job with transforming our 3rd floor attic into a great guest suite with a full bathroom and additional storage space. It was a challenging project due to the plumbing and air conditioning needs, but he was able to get the job done with a direction that mitigated the disruption on our daily lives. Given my wife and I both work out of the house this was important to us. Also, notably in our experience with Rick, all the sub-contractors he used were very polite and respectful in our home. Even though we were hit with some un-foreseen delays, Rick worked overtime to make sure our project was completed by the agreed upon date. We also appreciated the way they tidied up before they left each day. For our first major project, Rick's Renovations exceeded expectations.

Rick gutted and reconfigured both our kitchen and master bath. Did it all in the promised six week timeframe. Home was built in 1975 so there were a few electrical/structural "surprises" but Rick fixed them and stayed on schedule. He also provided the design for both rooms. Rick and all his subs were very nice to work with and we were completely comfortable having them in our home while away. We also were very pleased with the companies Rick uses for cabinets, countertops and tile. Rick's Renovations provides excellent, comprehensive home improvement services. (See before/after photos)

From our first meeting with Rick it was obvious that he cared about meeting our needs and doing a great job. We had him build a deck, repair some flooring, install doors, siding, and gutters, and we also had him do some repair work on our front porch. All of it was completed with excellent workmanship and certainly met our goals for upgrading the house. Rick is very easy to work with and was prompt when he was scheduled to be at the house. We would highly recommend Rick for any job that you need to have completed.

My husband and I are thrilled with the remodeling of our bathroom and kitchen back splash completed by Ricks Renovations. We were very pleased with the quality of service the company provides, and sincerely appreciate Rick’s responsiveness and the way he conducts business. I feel that communication is a key factor in doing business and Rick communicated and responded quickly in addressing concerns and offered suggestions so that the goal could be met in a timely manner. Rick went above and beyond in helping us exchange tile and picking up new tile that was ordered. Rick and his subcontractors were every professional and showed up to the job site on time if not early every day to start work. I love the work completed and plan on using his services in the future. I would highly recommend using Ricks Renovations for renovations and new construction.

Mr. Bowes recently completed a full kitchen renovation for us. He did an amazing job! We love the final result! He was on time, stayed on schedule, respected our property, and maintained a professional atmosphere on the worksite. We will definitely call him for future projects.

Fortunately we found Rick after searching the tri cities around Richmond, VA online for a bathroom remodeling contractor. He and his crews really are Masters at their trades doing an outstanding job on a difficult renovation responding knowledgably to any problems found during demo and construction. We had to have all 4 walls stripped of wallpaper, a partial wall removed, replacement of the flooring and the shower area gutted. All during the process he kept us informed on the progress of what stages were going to be done on certain days and always arrived on time and cleaned up the whole area every day before leaving. The areas water damaged were outside of what was on the proposal but like some of the other extras they did he was always more than fair and kept the prices below what I thought was the norm. I have been in the building trades for over 25 years and I would highly recommend Ricks Renovations for any home remodeling project. The bathroom turned out beautiful and beyond our expectations.

Rick was very professional from the day he came to do an estimate. He and his assistant Pete gutted our bathroom down to the studs and did a complete remodel. His estimate was $2000. less than our other estimate and included more work! We had a '60's' bathroom so the demo was extensive. They used runners from the front door to the bathroom and also used a vent to keep the dust from coming back into the house. The bathroom is beautiful and we are so happy with it! Rick and Pete also have great personalities. My husband is retired and was home most of the time they were here. By the second they they were all fast friends:)

When I decided to remodel our downstairs, I put much thought and time into deciding what I wanted. I also, interviewed many people to determine the best fit. I was looking for someone who would listen to what I wanted, help me determine the best way to achieve this, and deliver quality work. After many interviews, my husband and I choose Rick's Renovations for the job. Once that decision was made, we never regretted it! Rick listened to what my goals were with the remodel and he had great wisdom to discern when I was not sure what I wanted and he could offer insight and when I was sure of what I wanted and he stuck to the plan. He allowed me to be as involved with the design and process as I chose to be. Each day he would assess my reaction to the progress. He was keen in reading unspoken words. He would often note a change in my expression as I looked around. He would say, " I see you are unsure about something you see!" I found this reassuring. He was not just doing a job, he was doing a job to please me. If I had doubts or concerns, he wanted to know them. He did not try to sell me on what he wanted, but rather worked with me on design. He was patient when I was struggling to decide. Rick ran a respectful job site. He was punctual and put in an honest day's work. He expected the same of any subcontractors that were used. He would meet each at the site, review the job requirements and then set parameters for language, music and behaviors. Rick was faithful to the time schedule that he estimates. Rick was always quick to respond. If I had a question, whether it was picking something for the design or even later in the evening. One quick text and he would provide an answer. Rick's work was of high quality. He pays attention to the smallest of details. He did not cut corner's nor did he let imperfections slide by and hope you would not notice. He was his own biggest critic. Rick is not perfect, he is human. However, if Rick does do something that is either not to your liking or not to his liking, he will make it right.

We found Rick's Renovations on the BBB website. He was one of five companies we had come out to bid on my bathroom tile job. Not only did he have the lowest estimate, he was the only one to come out who was the actual contractor doing the job (the others were sales reps). This was extremely helpful because I was doing most of the work in our bathroom renovation so I had a lot of questions. His answers were very helpful and he was available to talk anytime I called while prepping the room for him. We contracted Rick to put up tile in a standing shower, on the bathroom floor, and install a glass shower door. The job turned out great and was completed earlier than estimated. His workers were all professional, courteous, and timely. I highly recommend Rick's Renovations based on my experience.

Rick did a shower replacement in our master bathroom to include new plumbing and fixtures, tiled walls to ceiling and put in a glass door. All work was completed as promised and at a price several thousand dollars less than the other two estimates I received. The quality of the work was excellent and I would highly recommend.

Rick and his team did a complete master renovation. It included a new design, structural engineering, electrical, plumbing, tile, and so much more. The work is amazing. He's extremely professional with excellent communication throughout the entire process.

We've used Rick on a number of projects over the last few years - smaller day projects like hanging crown moulding in bedrooms, all the way up to redoing a deck and installing patio doors. He's thorough, flexible, easy to work with, and communicates regularly. He also has a good network of subcontractors who he works with, including electricians, plumbers, and tile installers who can help put the finishing touches on the projects. Just this morning he sent out a company to install insulation under our house - very fast! And he's getting ready to start yet another project, expanding the opening in a doorway between our family room and kitchen. We're really happy with the quality of work we've seen from Rick, and will continue to use him in the future.

Rick's completely transformed my 25 year old bathroom. It is a beautiful room that I love to walk into. The work was done most efficiently, professionally and cheerfully. I can't say enough about the quality of workmanship they performed in my new oasis of a bathroom. All the workmen were polite and extremely knowledgeable of their craft. I would definitely hire them again to do any work in my home. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing reconstruction, new construction or small repair. Thanks Rick!

I found Rick to be easy to work with from the start. The project quickly became more than anybody originally thought. Flooring, subflooring and floor joists had to be replaced. Even with having to do all that, the job was finished in a timely manner. The tile staff was quick and the work flawless. It looks beautiful and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I give my highest recommendation to Rick and his team. I'll certainly use them again and talk them up to all my contacts.

Rick's Renovations is dependable and performs quality work. RR has done a few improvements and repairs to my house and I don't recall any of the work done to be unsatisfactory. Rick's estimate of the cost is fairly accurate and the actual costs are very fair and reasonable..

Rick is a fantastic contractor. We've used him for several projects on our old house, including crown moulding, sliding glass doors, new front porch steps, tile backsplash, etc. We're already working with him on projects at our new house as well. He's knowledgeable, responsive, and skilled - prices are reasonable. Excellent guy and we will keep using him in the future. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Rick's Renovations Inc. For professional service and excellent quality work, this is the right company! As a local real estate agent, I often need the services of a full service contractor to work on properties for sale. Rick's Renovations Inc. can take care of all home repairs and provide exceptional service and expertise. They provide excellent craftmanship in kitchen remodeling and bath renovations. Custom projects and additions are also welcome. The owner is overseeing all the work and making sure it's done correctly so that the clients are pleased with the results.
