GBBuyer BEWARE This started off great; they were eager to get me started, set up a design, then quoted me a price they SWORE was accurate and I would not go over. After billing thousands for ordering products, they left me stranded with a house full of materials and no contractor. I eventually had to find my own contractor and since then have been told many of the materials they ordered were unusable (which I can't return) and the design unrealistic for the space...so I had to redo that, too. TERRIBLE SERVICE. I'm not sure if this is a scam but you will spend MORE $$$ fixing their errors and getting stuck with their mistakes.

GBQuick and easy This was a quick and easy way to get a contractor in to take care of a small project. We were able to work with Remodelmate to scope the project virtually, and they matched us up with excellent workers who were quick, efficient, on time, and did great work.

GBCaveat emptor I’d like to write a review about the quality of the work they did, but I couldn’t get that far with these guys, after two attempts. I first engaged RemodelMate in March, 2021. I answered their online questionnaire, which took about a minute, and scheduled the initial telephone interview after their online tool quoted me $8,920.00 to do my bath. During that interview, Andrew Burke reassured me that the price would actually go down because, according to him, their online pricing was based on Washington DC materials and labor sourcing, and they could source materials and labor more affordably in my area. Great. When they sent me the final proposal though, it actually went UP by about $1,200.00. The reason was a $1,200.00 charge for the “concierge” fee, which was not included in the quote from the online tool, despite Burke being aware of it, discussing it with me, and that it was also featured prominently on their website. The whole thing seemed a little bait-and-switch to me, so I stepped away. My bath remodel then got put on a back burner for several months. Flash forward several months and I decided to re-engage Remodelmate when I was ready to move forward. This time I spoke with CEO Chad Hall. After getting the 60-second online quote, we had an hour-long discussion and I was 100% ready to begin. Reviewing the results of the online quote tool though, I noticed many of the details of the work that we discussed on the phone were missing in the “quote,” so I got some clarification via email and requested the detailed contract that I expected I’d need to sign. I was told that the online quote result *was* the contract, despite it being a vague, cookie cutter, one-size-fits-all, online form tool result. That’s fine. I got the clarification I needed on my particular project via email, and was still comfortable with moving ahead with Remodelmate. Eight days after receiving my quote, however—which stated that it was valid for 30 days—Malaika, with RemodelMate, emailed me on a Monday to advise that I’d need to pay my booking fee that Friday or face a price increase. Once again, RemodelMate was back to talking out of both sides of their mouth. I advised Chad that I expected them honor my quote for the promised thirty days. He responded and said they would. I followed up with a few additional questions about the project and Chad simply did not respond again. At the end of the day, I was unable to do business with them because they demonstrated a pattern of talking out of both sides of their mouths, and they eschew standard business practices—like an actual, detailed contract—in favor of gimmicky, simplistic online form tools. Ymmv, but I found them to be a little sketchy.

GBBathroom renovations by remodelmate We used remodelmate to renovate two bathrooms in our condo that we planned to sell. Chad and his team were easy to work with -- they listened to what we wanted and offered advice when they thought that we'd likely prefer something different than what we requested (they were always right). When they began the work, I found remodelmate to be responsible and reliable. And when they finished both bathrooms, I was sad that we were planning to move because both bathrooms were gorgeous! On top of all of that, remodelmate was reasonably priced. We could not have been happier with the experience and would not hesitate to use them in our new home!

GBWorked Hard for Us The folks at remodelmate went out of their way to make sure our bathroom remodel job was finished with quality in mind. They worked directly with our contractors who were also responsive when some unexpected challenges popped up with our plumbing.
