After delivery, We were missing some parts and they quickly replaced them. Also had to exchange the light fixture for a different style and the whole experience was painless. How unusual. Would recommend to anybody doing a renovation project.

After meeting with several contractors for our remodel in Venice, Florida, what immediately stood…read moreout about Royal Remodeling & Design was their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile. Unlike others who quickly said something couldn't be done, their attitude was always, "Let's figure it out." Our project involved moving walls, investigating structural and bearing walls, removing columns, a full kitchen remodel, interior and exterior painting, new flooring, doors, trim, baseboards, a new front door, and many upgrades throughout the home. Royal Remodeling & Design truly turned our vision into reality. One of the best parts of the experience was the design process at their showroom on Main Street in downtown Sarasota. Being able to see our project on a 3D screen and make changes as we went gave us confidence that everything would turn out exactly how we wanted it. Choosing cabinets, countertops, tile, wood plank flooring, and finishes in one place made the process incredibly convenient and stress-free. Once construction started, communication was excellent. We received regular updates, timelines, and everyone who worked on the home was professional, respectful, and pleasant to work with. Even when we asked for extra changes, the response was always, "No problem, we'll take care of it." The home was kept clean throughout the remodel, and we appreciated the thoughtful suggestions made along the way that improved other areas of the house we hadn't even considered. Watching Royal Remodeling & Design transform our 1980s home into a beautiful modern space was an amazing experience. If you are looking for a remodeling general contractor in Sarasota County for a full home remodel, full condo remodel, kitchen remodel, or bathroom remodel, we highly recommend Royal Remodeling & Design. Professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to turning your vision into reality.

Royal Remodeling & Design Our experience with Royal…read moreRemodeling & Design was exceptional from our very first interaction. My wife and I were evaluating several Sarasota-area contractors for a complete kitchen remodel. We began with a shortlist of companies, but as we progressed through the selection process, several were eliminated for various reasons. We discovered Royal Remodeling & Design through a Google search and decided to stop by their Main Street showroom without an appointment. From the moment we walked in, Stan welcomed us as though we were repeat customers. He spent nearly an hour answering our questions, discussing our project, and helping us understand the remodeling process. We told him ours was not a large kitchen, although we wanted a complete renovation. Stan assured us no job was too small for them. By the end of that meeting, we had scheduled a visit to our condo for Stan to see it first-hand. After seeing our existing kitchen, Stan developed an initial design for us to review. We requested several changes that differed from his original vision. Rather than trying to persuade us otherwise, Stan emphasized that it was our kitchen and that we were the ones who would be living with it. His philosophy was simple: he would design and build the kitchen that best suited our needs and preferences. We found that approach very reassuring. Once the design was finalized, we were introduced to Viktor, the project manager. His confidence, professionalism, and extensive experience immediately gave us peace of mind. As seasonal residents, we arranged for demolition and construction to begin after we returned north. Because we are very hands-on and engaged, entrusting a major renovation to a contractor while we were away felt somewhat uncomfortable at first. However, Viktor's communication throughout the project was outstanding. He kept us informed with regular updates, shared progress photos, and scheduled FaceTime calls so we could see the work firsthand. The entire project was completed in approximately six weeks from start to finish. Throughout the process, nearly every conversation with Stan or Viktor ended with my wife and me saying the same thing: we had absolutely made the right decision in choosing Royal Remodeling & Design. We simply could not imagine receiving a higher level of service, professionalism, or craftsmanship. When we returned to see the completed kitchen, it was exactly as we had envisioned--and the quality of the workmanship exceeded our expectations. While our project may not have been as large or complex as some of the impressive renovations featured on Royal's social media channels, we always felt like we were their most important client. That level of attention and care made a lasting impression. We wholeheartedly recommend Royal Remodeling & Design to anyone considering a remodeling project. We would not hesitate to work with them again. Michael & Julie Wallace

The quality of their cabinets and granite is very high and their prices are VERY affordable. The owner, Julie, is thorough, meticulous, and collaborates to make designs work well. Her staff are courteous, hard-working, and knowledgeable. My only qualm is the occasional language issue as English is not Julie's first language. But that is part of the adventure. These are not cheap construction cabinets. These are well-designed, well-constructed, solid wood with slow closing hinges and dovetail joints. However, Unique Kitchen & Bath sells them for less than the big box stores. Skip Home Depot and Lowe's and go talk with Julie. One last suggestion: If you are at handy, you can save money by assembling the cabinets yourself.

The Shower Shop ROCKS!…read more Renovating can be a nerve-wracking and costly experience. We hire the professionals to make the magic happen, and we expect the outcome to be breathtaking. We subbed out our bathroom renovation to keep our costs down. The procedure of doing it this way can be extremely tedious, but in the end we (as customers) get to pick and choose who we want to make that magic happen.  The shower glass was the last thing needed to complete our bathroom renovation; it was like the final bling, the frosting on the cake, if you will. We reached out to several glass companies for estimates and received your typical responses (if any at all). Some companies returned our call for an estimate but only after the job had already been completed by someone else (The Shower Shop), and sadly, some never returned our call at all. Most companies that did respond quoted estimates without seeing our job or taking any measurements. From the very first (and only) call for an estimate from The Shower Shop, we spoke with the receptionist, who was only too happy to schedule our visit with a professional to measure and quote our job. She asked how thick of glass we wanted, and when we told her the approximate length of glass needed, we could hear somebody in the background telling her that glass of our size should be a minimum thickness of 1/2" as not to be flimsy. We had the warm fuzzies from that moment on that The Shower Shop was going to deliver not only a beautiful shower but a safe one too! Our appointment was scheduled for the very next week for someone to come out and take measurements. We were a little taken back when the general manager himself came to our home and did the actual measuring. He didn't just pull out a measuring tape; he carefully measured our bathroom wall, ceiling, and shower ledge with a laser level, explaining every step of the way. He shared with us that although our bathroom wasn't perfectly straight or level (which no home is), our glass would be level, sturdy, and a beautiful addition to our new shower. He made suggestions that were overlooked by us and our tile installer that were appreciated. After all, that's why we hire the professionals. Our installation date was scheduled two weeks out, which was perfect because we had other things to schedule and complete before our glass arrived. Our glass was actually ready for installation just shy of the two-week date given by the general manager. We were ahead of schedule and ready for the install. The receptionist was great with communicating our appointment as well as reminder calls throughout. I get it... they're a busy company who want every job to go as smoothly as ours did, and I respect that. The crew of two arrived to install our shower glass. They were as friendly and professional as the receptionist and Gary, the general manager of The Shower Shop. Our new shower glass was installed in just under 2 hours. The results? Our shower glass was not only level, but it was sturdy and beautiful, just as we were told it would be. One thing I would like to mention is the option of having your glass treated with a protective coating by Diamon-Fusion. This protective coating eliminates the hard water spots and soap scum that tend to build up in your shower, not to mention cuts down on heavy cleaning with harsh chemicals. I'm not sure if other glass companies are offering this as an option, but no other glass company mentioned it. Both the general manager and the installers shared a glass cleaner called Sprayway that's a couple of dollars cheaper than most glass cleaners, has no ammonia, smells pleasant, and can be purchased at most any store. This glass cleaner is awesome and leaves no streaks! Overall, we were very pleased with our decision to have The Shower Shop install our glass. They were friendly, professional, punctual, accommodating, and great with communicating. They offered suggestions that only added to the beauty and aesthetics of our bathroom.  I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing glass and plan to call on them again for our next bathroom shower project! I would rate this company 5 out of 5 stars for their stellar performance and the job delivered as promised!
