Back in May/June 2025, I hired Handy Gentlemen for interior work on my house. It is now…read moremid-September. David, the owner, seems like a nice guy, and he did a good job replacing the tiles on my bathroom floor, and he (mostly his assistant) did a lot of painting, which on the whole looks good. But see below... The big issues were what I discovered after he was finished and had left: fresh paint stains in multiple areas, including the wood floor of my 19th century house and even furniture - which I cleaned up. Splattered paint near the ceiling of my kitchen which still, three months later, has not been patched, paint stains on my oriental rug, a major purchase 40 years ago, etc. David said he would pay for the rug damage, and I only asked for 50% of the very reasonable $175 cleaning cost. David told me to bill him via Zelle, something I said I'm not sure how to do. He already has my Zelle information, since that's how I paid him for the work. But after messaging him and emailing several times, he has not responded. And I still have paint streaks on the wall and an unpaid bill. So I can't recommend Handy Gentlemen. I think part of the problem is that David is under-manned and a bit overwhelmed, but not responding to my messages is unprofessional.

Bill was very polite, called me over the weekend to set up the time and said he'd go to the jobsite to get his guys started and then come and meet with me. He just sent me a text message (not even dignified enough to call) at 8:30pm the night before saying "We are currently too busy to take on any new jobs until September. Call me early summer." Bill is what gives contractors a bad name. Sure he might do good work, but he does not respect people's time and schedules. A simple, "Sorry, would love to help you, but we are booked through September" would have done fine at the first call. Terrible customer service and I imagine this speaks to how you might be treated as a client if he did manage to get in your door.

I contacted Jose after seeing many positive reviews for his company. Unfortunately, my experience…read moredid not match what I expected based on that feedback. Communication was slow, and I had to follow up multiple times to receive basic information and pricing. During one phone call, he did not recall who I was or the details of my inquiry, which made the process feel disorganized. I was initially quoted $150 for a site visit. After the visit, I was informed there would be an additional $200 charge for an itemized estimate. When the estimate was provided, it was not itemized as discussed and did not offer the level of detail I anticipated for the additional fee. I understand that professional services require time and expertise; however, the communication and deliverables did not align with the costs involved. Based on my experience, I would encourage future customers to ask detailed questions upfront and ensure expectations are clearly outlined before proceeding.

Like many such bathroom-plumbing works, this is a complicated installation that can easily go wrong a hundred ways. The RR people planned it and did it at one go. Done right! Our compliments on the excellent work by the technician who visited us to install the shower door (apologies - I did not write down his name). He did an overall fantastic job, start to finish, earning a 100/100. He is competent, professional, and courteous. He answered all our questions patiently and stayed focused on the job without rushing it. Notably, the final cleanup was so thorough! Earlier, the person who visited us for the estimation and measurement was equally good- very knowledgeable! The office personnel who handle the scheduling are very responsive and understanding of our (customers') changing needs and priorities. At first, we were concerned about the high-end quote, but every cent of the price was worth it. Good job, Refreshing Renovations, and the management and support team.

We are very happy that we hired Joe and his team, their craftsmanship on our project was top notch and their attention to detail was what we expected from talking with past customers and previous projects he completed. Overall, the project was done on time, on budget and we couldn't be more pleased with the end results.
