I had my closet redone and ordering a custom door took longer than it should have (not their fault), but the communication while waiting for was lacking.

They worked hard and did a good job. They completed many tasks adjacent to what I had asked for in the remodel. Overall I am very pleased with the work they did and I would use them again.

We were preparing our condo for sale and needed to update the place to look a little more modern. DBR provided much attention and care to every last detail. Our built-ins and kitchen cabinets looked brand new after their refinishing. The marble surround on the fireplace was meticulously placed. The walls were buttery smooth after their paint job. Our master bathroom was not a complete gut, just a mini-refresh. DBR was able to run the plumbing to accommodate a double vanity in no time and run the electrical to allow the mirror to function properly. DBR's quote was extremely competitive to other contractors we reached out to and I'm grateful we found them. Would gladly reach out to them again for work in our new home! Thanks, DBR!

We're genuinely surprised to see any mixed reviews for Revive. We can't recommend them enough! It's…read morerare to find a contractor you trust completely, along with all their subcontracting teams, but Ohad and his crew have earned that trust across multiple projects in our home. Ohad is an honest thought partner when it comes to design and overall project management. He'll tell you straight where it's worth spending and where you can save. And his team is hardworking, honest, and reliably on schedule (and mostly on budget!). We have also had the opposite experience of some of the warranty comments below. The team has ALWAYS come back promptly to finish final details/punch list items until we're happy with the project. And, they stand by the quality of their work. For example, after refinishing our floors, we noticed some marks that weren't quite right. Ohad agreed immediately that it wasn't up to his standard of work and sent a team to fix it, no pushback at all. The team tried a "quick" fix at first which was better, but not perfect. Without us even asking to fix it again, Ohad said it still wasn't to his standard and the solution was to rework the entire area. Due to some personal scheduling conflicts that made it hard to have workers in the house, we asked to delay for a few months past project completion and he was completely understanding... told us it would happen on our timeline and just asked for some notice before we'll be ready so he can schedule the team. That kind of accountability, owning a mistake and working around our needs to fix it, is exactly why we trust him so much. Plus the incredibly high standard of work on everything that went perfectly smoothly! We won't risk anyone else working on our home at this point.

Revive's warranty was worthless, and the project management was poor…read more THE PROJECT MANAGEMENTS PROBLEMS: I hired Revive to replace granite kitchen countertops with quartzite at a cost of about $9,000. The new countertops were installed in October 2025. The design and fabrication of the countertops was very good. The installation crew seemed to be extremely competent - but see the warranty issue, below. The demolition and stone installation took place on a Monday. The plumber disconnect everything, but was not scheduled to return. He was able to come back Tuesday evening. We were reusing the previous faucet, since it was fairly new, but he discovered that either he or the crew had lost a critical part. He went to Home Depot to get another, but they don't sell it separately. I had to go to Home Depot and buy a new faucet. After he left, I discovered a huge leak inside the cabinet. He returned the next morning and fixed it. The stone crew were professional seemed competent (but see the warranty issue, below). But they forgot to bring stone sealant with them and didn't return with sealant until Wednesday, causing unnecessary delay as I could not use the countertops at all until they were sealed. I emailed Ohad of Revive about these and other problems, just so that he would know, not asking for anything. He acknowledged that the work was not up to their usual standards. He said he was mailing me a gift, but nothing ever arrived. I assumed he sent it and it got lost, but I appreciated the gesture which I took to be an apology. WARRANTY ISSUES: By April 2026, about six months after installation, my stone had became discolored in two places. I provided photos to Ohad and told him my theory that the the crew missed these spots when they sealed the countertops. The manufacturer of the sealant used on my stone states in its information sheet that the seal will last "years" against oil, water, and grease. I had gotten discoloration after just a few months. The stone crew told me during installation that their work was guaranteed and that anytime I needed them to come back, they would do so. But when I sent the photos to Ohad, he responded with this: "Natural stone requires periodic maintenance, including sealing and care over time. This type of ongoing upkeep is the responsibility of the homeowner and is not part of our warranty or scope of work. It would not be reasonable for us to provide continued maintenance of the surface after installation." None of this applies after only six months! I asked Ohad what maintenance he thought I should have done, but he did not respond. I had a stone care company look at the discolorations. The technician said that he would have used a different sealant on my stone. He gave me a product that pulls moisture out of stone, which mostly removed the discolorations, and I sealed the areas. The discoloration that I was able to remove has not come back. CONCLUSION: By using Revive, I got poor product management and a warranty that was just a sales pitch not backed up by any integrity. If I had gone directly to the stone fabricator, I would have at least had a warranty.

I had already paid a plumber a significant amount of money for a leak inspection and "repair," only to find out the problem was never actually fixed. I even had one contractor tell me I needed a full bathroom renovation on a house that was only built in 2018. A clear overzealous attempt at a money grab. I found Welkin Construction almost by chance while getting quotes, and I'm extremely glad I did. From the beginning, they were honest, upfront, and professional. Instead of trying to sell me an unnecessary renovation, they took the time to properly diagnose the issue and fix the actual problem. Their team carefully caulked and resealed the shower, removed bathroom tile, replaced damaged subflooring, cut and installed new tile, repaired the hole in my kitchen ceiling, and repainted the kitchen -- all with excellent attention to detail. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the price was more than reasonable compared to the other options I was given. The owner is a genuinely nice and professional guy and his team was efficient, respectful, kind, and clearly took pride in their work. It's rare to find contractors who are this honest and dependable. Save yourself the time, frustration, and unnecessary expenses -- give Welkin Construction a call. They've earned my trust and will absolutely be my go-to company for future projects. Highly recommend!
