Introduction: There is no replacement for good old-fashioned FOLLOW THROUGH. Do what you say and meet your commitments is our guiding philosophy, one that separates us from a lot of other general contractors out there. We do not cut corners and do not sacrifice quality. Project changes and updates need to be clearly and concisely communicated to you the client. If you have a question you contact us. It’s a process and one we are happy to engage in with you. When the job is done we want you happy. Much of our business is referral based. We have enjoyed business for 25+ years on the strength of those referrals. Rob has devoted most of his life to construction. It truly is his passion. He began in vocational high school, then college and paid and unpaid internships. He later took strategic jobs to enhance his craft further. His goal was to excel in areas that others could not (or would not) understand. Upon his father’s death when he was a teenager, Rob was forced into learning creative ways of solving problems. Where others see problems and dead ends he sees solutions and fixes. For every construction problem he can give you three solutions. Many people feel the code is the ultimate goal or highest bar to achieve for a project. Rob believes the building code is the minimal standard and it’s just a starting point in any project. Some builders see job security in inadequate job performance, questionably charging for changes. Rob is not that kind of contractor. His company does it right the first time. He wants his product to last longer, be safer and look more beautiful.

Working with Rob has been a fantastic experience. I shopped around and got quotes from many different contractors/companies for adding a MIL suite to my basement and Rob was the clear winner. He was the only one who actively worked with me to realize my idea/vision. Rob brought so much experience, skill, and insight to the project. A true asset when working on an old house that has its quirks. He was punctual and productive each and every day. He was able to stop water from getting into the basement, added a room, stairwell landing, doors to separate the basement from the rest of the house, plumbing for a kitchen, new flooring, and a good amount of electrical reconfiguring. My budget didn't allow for me to completely finish the project but I know that Rob will be the first person I call once I'm ready to do so.

Details: Sketches or a basic idea • Basement • Complete renovation • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Home • I am the owner

Rob and his guys were great! They completely exceeded our expectations! They got the job done sooner than anticipated and ended up doing way more work than expected, and I expected there to be a few snags on the job… they took all the unexpected things in stride and just got it done! His communication about everything blew me away I’m not use to being given a quick rundown of the job and his commitment to doing things the right way was great. I never felt like they were doing a half assed job. We love our new office space, thanks to Rob and the guys!

Details: I'm just starting • Complete renovation • Less than 500 sq ft • Home • I am the owner

Rob and I discussed the long term plans for my unfinished basement, then I shared my current budget. Rob and his team were very efficient with meeting the scope of the work. Everything looks great and I can’t wait for them to pick up on the next phase of the project in the future.

My first experience with Thumbtack and I hit a home run! Rob was exceptional with his quick responses, on time arrivals (both for the bid meeting and for the actual project day), and his attention to detail throughout the project. I never felt out of the loop and I paid what he quoted.

Rob and his crew were very responsive to the changing needs of our project. As we worked through the many problems our hundred-plus year old home presented, they came up with multiple options for going forward and presented them to us in a very professional manor. After sharing the pros and cons of multiple "bumps in the road," they always left the final decisions up to us, with no apparent judgments attached when we had to make some hard choices based on cost (which we really appreciated). On that financial note, Rob was super flexible and very understanding as we had to scramble to get emergency funding for a quickly ballooning project. Another important facet of our home repairs that Creative Home Renovations certainly assisted with was REconstructing our old house up to current city/neighborhood codes, while also showing great appreciation for preserving the original craftsman style. In the end, we felt like we got the very best knowledge, honest advice, and excellent workmanship that we could have ever hoped for.... and all with friendly, smiling faces that greeted us every morning! Thanks again, guys!
