GBNot what I expected! December 2020 Remodelmate remodeled my master bathroom the 1st week of December 2020. I was given a 2 week time frame or sooner for the project completion. I understand things pop up unexpectedly and it may affect the finish date. Fine but not this. From beginning to end there was so many issues with miscommunication and Job performance.. Do not allow anyone to have access to your CC without fully understanding what they are doing with it. Additional cost kept coming up. There was wasted items purchased that was not used. I personally had to take items back brought by the contractor. Work was poorly done. The contractors had to keep coming back to redo the same Job over and over to half way get it looking decent. Some items where taken that I bought, that was consider to be trash but could be used elsewhere. They were brought back after, I pointed it out the items where missing from my garage. The wall construction to the paint was horrible. Someone else was brought back in to correct the mess that was made the 1st time. I still have a sink issue with the installation that was corrected twice already. Things where damaged and yes they where replaced. I could go on and on about how disappointing this experience was. I have two other projects I will be doing. And remodelmate will not be doing either. Communication and explaining everything to your consumers would be helpful. Get the right individuals to do the Job correctly the 1st time so there is no need for the consumers to keep buying materials over and over. Giving great customer service and making your customers experience Great should be a Priority! I do not Recommend them for any Service! People do your research I will take my Business Elsewhere!!

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!

GBHighly 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.

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.

GBNot so smooth... We had high hopes for remodelmate but were ultimately let down by a number of missteps. We were promised how smooth the process of ordering materials and delivery would be. The initial delivery was incomplete and several items had to be tracked down. All three tile orders were insufficient and we had to track down additional tile for ourselves. This ultimately added 2 extra weeks to the project. No accommodations were made. We had several different points of contact throughout the process, so it was never clear who to talk to and several key things we left off the initial plan. We built a closet but the remodelmate never offered a plan to finish the closet. We had to address the flooring and shelves on our own. The shower door we selected took an additional 4 weeks to complete. This was never addressed by remodelmate. While we are mostly happy with the final result, it was not the easy process that we were sold on.
