This review is long overdue for work we had done in October. We needed a contractor to turn a large…read morebedroom into 2 smaller bedrooms for our kids. We needed framing, sheetrock, electrical, trim and closets built. Joe was way more responsive than all other contractors and was very reasonable with costs. The price was exactly what he quoted us. (Another contractor was supposed to start before we found Joe and completely ghosted us around the start date.) Lou was the main guy who was here several days and he was great. We felt totally comfortable with him in our home. Our 4 year old son kept asking where Lou was after the project was completed. Lou worked around us when it came to hours that worked best for our family. Our kids love their bedrooms. And our 4 year old son finally sleeps in his own bed. We will be calling Joe when we are ready to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms.

DISASTER. Turn and run. We hired Joe for a large 203K project. We had problems from the very…read morebeginning: he was slow to start, kept changing his mind about the game plan, complained about the fact that he could get no money up front--terms of the 203K that he had of course agreed to--and pressured us to give him significant up-front money to "help him start". He instructed me in June of 2024 to rush to buy materials for a small bathroom that was still mostly unfinished in April of 2025; that kind of thing happened multiple times. His workers were inadequately supervised, and he was difficult to reach, often saying things like I'm at a kid's soccer game, out to dinner with my daughter, etc. The way that 203K's work is that HUD inspectors come out at regular intervals to make sure that adequate work has been done to make a draw from the total budget. Joe did a bunch of stuff merely to look busy to justify the first draw, in August: a slap-dash exterior paint job over crumbling paint that made a mess and did not hold, for instance. Between the first and the second draw, there was slow but meaningful progress--but by then we were 5 months into a job that we were told would take 4-6 months, and nowhere near done. During much of that 3-month interval he had just one guy working on our huge project, an electrician. After the second draw, in late November, he basically just stopped working on the house. We were making double housing payments the whole time, of course, so we panicked. We were almost out of money. After numerous calls and messages failed to get him to pick up the pace, at the urging of our lender, we scheduled a third draw, 3 months after the second one. At that draw, the HUD inspector certified that no work had been done, so no funds would be paid out. That's when we finally worked up the nerve to fire him. It was terrifying, because our lender told us that we would have trouble getting anyone to take on such a large project with only what was left in the budget after Joe depleted it. By the grace of God, we did find one. He swept in and got the job done in about 4 months. We finally moved in almost exactly one year after closing. Of course we had two mortgage payments the whole time. The work could have been finished within 6 months, or close to it, if we had found a great contractor like the one we found after we fired Mr. Depiano. Working with Mr. Depiano was harrowing. We were newbs at this, and therefore easy to fool. DON'T MAKE OUR MISTAKE.

I had a fantastic experience with RLC Construction. Ray Cowan, the owner, is phenomenal, and I…read morecan't recommend him highly enough. This is the first home I've owned on my own, and it was a big project for me though I would imagine small in terms of what he normally does. I don't think I could have done it without Ray - and I know it wouldn't look as good as it does now! My new home is perfect. RLC Construction oversaw the demolition, planning, budgeting, contractors, scheduling, and kept me informed at every step. Everyone showed up when they were supposed to, the work stayed organized, and the project kept moving. As a bonus, Ray and his whole team are friendly and kind. He worked hard to get me and my son into the house by our deadline and they did it. What really set him apart was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He talked through options, helped me weigh tradeoffs, and worked with me on cost without ever losing sight of what we were trying to accomplish. He consistently kept my goals and budget and timing front and center, communicated clearly, and handled the inevitable surprises of a renovation calmly and professionally. He's still working with me to get every detail right as I get settled into the house. If you're looking for a GC you can truly trust--someone who does excellent work and makes the whole process feel manageable--hire him. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.

Our bathroom remodel exceeded all expectations. I'm sorry I don't know how to post pictures (tells you my age) but we went from a seriously hideous dark out-dated, slap dash bathroom to a bright luxurious one. Starting with owners Skip and Ray to Nick and his amazing team of workers (Toby, Brian, Dave, Mark, Nancy) who created this transformation, work was timely, well-designed and executed, and priced reasonably. It was a pleasure working with a company with integrity and talent. Their clear aim is to make their customers happy--and I can vouch that have.
