Contemporary Remodeling

Highly recommend Contemporary Remodeling! My wife and I had Contemporary Remodeling remodel our master bathroom. We selected Contemporary Remodeling from four different companies we screened. Reynolds Grimes, the owner, listened closely to our vision and provided helpful recommendations to finalize the project design and specification. Reynolds then provided a detailed estimate and schedule for the work. The project started on the date planned and proceeded according to schedule. Reynolds and his team gave us daily updates on the project and were extremely responsive to us. We were very impress with how well the team thoroughly cleaned the work and surrounding areas each day. Contemporary Remodeling did an exceptional job on our bathroom! The project was completed on budget and as scheduled. In fact, we liked the work Contemporary Remodeling did so much, we asked Reynolds to remodel the entire second floor of our home. Again, Reynolds provided a detailed estimate and schedule for the work. We are incredibly pleased with the work Contemporary Remodeling did on the second floor. We will be using Contemporary Remodeling to remodel our kitchen and first floor of our home in the future.

I had a vision for what my new kitchen would be like and Contemporary Remodeling made it happen in stellar fashion. All facets, between my project manager, John, to the trades workers, Gustavo and Scottie, were outstanding. Remodeling and construction is always challenging, and they skillfully scheduled the trades, maintained the highest quality workmanship and professionally addressed the bumps in the road. When it was time for inspection and an outlet needed to be added to the peninsula, John worked with us to come up with a solution that met code requirements while keeping the integrity of my original design. Wish we could work together again!

In fairness, Contemporary Remodeling gave me what I payed for. The quality of work, however, was essentially average to below average quality. The technicians are more like handymen than kitchen remodelers. For example, the dishwasher door still does not close properly after repair attempts. Cover plate for electrical box under sink never installed. The floor register was a wall register (I discovered this when I caught my sock on the jagged edge). Stains left on the wooden floor was denied by tech. Remodeling dust was everywhere and took weeks of vacuuming to get rid of, etc. Contemporary Remodeling also installed all of our windows. That was straight forward work and without problems. All that said, for kitchen remodeling I would not recommend them.

If you are looking for a honest and reliable contractor, look no further! Prior to starting our kitchen remodeling project, my husband and I did what you are probably doing at this point, that is contacting different companies selected from various sources. We wasted a lot of time meeting with: -The ones who answered: "No problem, we’ll do it for you" to any suggestion / crazy idea we may have had, but would not come up with a definite quote up front; -The pushy guy who said: "You can’t ask me to draw a plan for free, but if you give me $7K as a down payment, I’ll show you how your kitchen might look like"; -The contractor who came to our house completely drunk (I am not kidding!) -The one who seemed to think that our neighborhood was not good enough for his creativity. We are so glad we decided to work with Reynolds! Reynolds came to our house every day checking the progress, often working with his guys, and answering any questions we may have. He apparently accepts one job at a time, which means you have to get on his schedule and be patient at first. However, once he and his team start at your house, it’s non-stop! I am sure you have heard stories about companies demolishing a kitchen and leaving it that way for 2 weeks, because they have another place to go. Not with Reynolds. If he says it will be done in 8 weeks, it will be! I wanted things to be a little different –did I mention I am a picky customer?- and he bent over backwards to do them, "As long as it is in conformity with the code!" His whole team, led by an awesome guy named Gustavo, is very nice, efficient, clean, respectful of the property, hardworking and on the job every day. His prices are reasonable and even cheap considering that there were absolutely no problems during the whole process. We highly recommend Reynolds to anyone looking for a down-to-earth easy-to-work-with type of contractor. We are planning on redoing our bathrooms and the family room in 2018, and we will work with Reynolds and his team of professionals again. No question, no hassle, no problem :-)

Highly recommended. Reynolds did kitchen and basement remodeling for our house. Great work from the beginning to the end. He and his team are professional, very easy to work with and able to solve any issue came up. They always show up on time and are responsive. They did their best to make the job done perfectly. We are happy to find Reynolds as our contractor. We would definitely use their services in the future.

Reynolds and his team did a fantastic job on my bathroom. From the start of the project to completion, Reynolds was quick to respond to any questions and address any concerns. I live in a condominium building and was informed that, unlike certain contract staff, Reynolds' team was respectful and followed the rules when moving materials in and out of the building. It was also helpful to have Reynolds' input on selection of materials - from both a functionality and an aesthetic point of view notably the flooring and tile. He doesn't volunteer or push his opinion particularly when dealing with an issue as personal as taste, but if you ask, he will provide an opinion and a rationale. For example, there was some lovely flooring that I considered but ultimately rejected based on potential difficulty of upkeep. It was valuable to have Reynolds' opinion that helped me avoid a decision that I would have likely regretted after a period of time. It was very important to Reynolds that I would be happy with the completed project, and I am.

Contemporary Remodeling just finished a major kitchen remodel in my home as well as a laundry room, powder room, and all the hardwood floors on my main level. They were very professional and responsive. Showed up on time and were very clean. I would highly recommend them. Did the whole project in 5 weeks.

Reynolds and his team were a pleasure to work with. All work was performed on budget and on time (or early). During our almost five-month process, we were constantly informed on each step of the renovation. Contemporary remodeling has a network of suppliers and design services available, and it allowed us to have many choices for our major remodel – everything from appliances, to finishes, to designing the custom cabinetry and added details with make our home truly ours. Our cost estimates and contracts were clearly spelled out along with the payment scheduled and scope of work. We were able to alter the scope of work as needed to add additional options not covered by the original contract, and we had the flexibility to ask for changes to the previously agreed-upon scope of work as long as they were included in the agreed cost. All subcontractors and trade professionals performed work to standard and were polite, punctual, and supervised by the Contemporary Remodeling team. Additionally, we had no issues with permits; this process was seamless and transparent to us as homeowners. Overall, we could not be happier with the investment we made in our home and the quality of the craftsmanship. We plan to hire Contemporary remodeling for future renovations, both interior and exterior, in the coming years.

Contemporary Remodeling has now done three big jobs for us completing full remodels of our kitchen, master bath, and a condominium. Everyone associated with the work at any level was knowledgeable, courteous, and exceptionally skilled. The owner, Reynolds Grimes, went out of his way to work with us at every step and made sure that our results would be excellent. The condominium remodel was quite complex and required significant interaction with the building engineering staff. Mr. Grimes handled all the details and made sure any issues were resolved quickly and to our complete satisfaction. The hallmark here is honesty, they don't over-promise and always do exactly what they say. We got outstanding results and I will always be glad to recommend Contemporary Remodeling and Mr. Grimes.

Contemporary Remodling initially did a window and door replacement on our three story, four bedroom, home. We were so pleased with the outstanding planning, quality, competitive pricing, and courteous work crews, that we had them design and remodel three bathrooms and a powder room. One of the bathrooms was a major expansion of the master bath including wall and major plumbing changes. I can't say enough about their exceptional work. From initial consultation, collaborative design effort, demolition, construction, to clean up, they were responsive, respectful, and a real pleasure to work with. We were able to create a vision for what we wanted, but when needed, they always had just the right advice to allow us to build 4 unique and beautiful new baths. Their crew and tradesmen were very polite and considerate, clearly expert craftsmen, and cleaned the workspace thoroughly. Reynolds was frequently on site ensuring the work was of the highest quality, down to the punch list being completely executed to our satisfaction. The result was wonderful - we could not be more pleased with how our renovation turned out. We WILL use Contemporary Remodeling for our next project.

This was our first time using Contemporary Remodeling. We had our siding and a raised deck replaced. Reynolds and his team were a pleasure to work with. He was completive in pricing, had a very high standard of craftsmanship with an on time delivery. His knowledge and experience helped guide us to a great end result. It can be difficult to find a Contractor that you can rely on and trust to do things the correct way. We found this in contemporary Remodeling and would definitely use their services in the future.

Quality work from a trustworthy, professional contractor. We bought an old house and have had a lot of work done in it. So far, Contemporary Remodeling has redone two bathrooms and installed new gutters. Of all the contractors we've had, Reynolds Grimes' Contemporary Remodeling is the only one we'll be asking to do more work. His quality guarantee is sincere and the end product reflects that.
