Bathroom 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!

1st Floor Reno Overall project was done well and on schedule. The workmanship could have been a little neater in a couple of small areas. However, we were pleased with the process, level of communication, and management of the project by remodelmate.

Caveat 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.

Highly Recommend Remodelmate stood out because of their excellent customer service. They were responsive to our questions and helpful in walking us through the process. We had full trust in them to deliver an excellent final product, which they did. Highly recommend.

Rehab to sell We had a project to update our bathrooms before selling our house. Chad came out to give us an estimate and very quickly we got started. We were impressed with the results as well as the care we got from Chad. He was on the job every day giving us updates and making sure our questions were answered. The end result is we sold our home the day it went on the market for over asking.
