I recently went to a bar in Portland's Hawthorne district and was blown away by the space. So much so I had to inquire about who did the work. I was told all the work was done by Steiner Remodel. Absolutely amazing work too. The craftsmanship that was put into this bar was beyond compare. When I contacted Steiner to inquire about their price structure and how they go about their business I was even more impressed. These folks know their stuff and are very good with their communication as well. I'll be hiring Steiner for a remodel on my 70+ year old house soon based solely on the work I saw in this bar. read more

They were very responsive to my call, and fit me into their busy schedule. Arrived on time, taking all the necessary precautions for Covid-19. They made sure they were knowledgeable about fixing my shower door, prior to arriving. That saved time and money. I would highly recommend them for any projects you may have. read more

Hired Steiner remodel for a rebuild of my existing deck. Tim came out and evaluated the current structure against the plans for re-doing decking, railing, stairs and also being able to structurally support a hot tub on top of the decking. Jesse and Nick came out and knocked it out of the park! They had to battle some pretty nasty weather, even ran into some structural issues with my house due to water damage and age (older home) . They quickly came up with a game plan to fix it and then used it to tie the deck in for structural support. I've hired Steiner remodel in the past for a room addition and they nailed that as well. They're always the first on my list when I've got a project in mind. Very much appreciate their professionalism and the work they do. read more

Let me start by saying- my husband also left a review of this business, however we are our own individuals who value totally different things. I feel like his review lacked many of the things that were so important to me, so I feel justified in writing my own review. This may be long winded, but if you are serious about how you spend your hard earned cash, then this is worth reading. My husband and I found our first home and fell in love with everything but the terrible purple 70's bathroom. We decided to inquire about remodeling because we figure we spend so much of our life in the bathroom (if you think about it- showers, baths, makeup, hair, and the unspeakable), we might as well actually like it. We heard about Steiner Remodel years ago from a good friend and had seen pictures of their work. Since our friend had used them and had good things to say, we decided to give them a shot. I wanted every detail to be exactly what I wanted so that I didn't get stuck saying "I wish I would have done it differently" for the rest of ever, however I did keep in mind that we are all just humans and there's no magical robot unicorn that can challenge physics... meaning we had to do the best with what we had, and sometimes what you WANT just isn't physically possible in the given space. Keep in mind, if that is your situation- blame physics... not your contractors. What I initially wanted was a Japanese soaking tub right next to a walk in shower, both enclosed in a wet room. I also wanted double sinks so that my husband can do whatever he wants in his own sink and doesn't have to listen to me, "Why is there tooth paste in the sink?!! gross...blah blah blah." It was just physically not possible unless we didn't mind standing on top of each other at a 4' double sink. So they gave me the honest truth about how cramped it would be if we actually did do that. They sat and thought about it, and I mean they realllllly tried to think of every possible way to make it happen. The bathroom was just too small. It didn't take long for Susan to come up with the idea of a lifetime, which I was actually completely against at first. She suggested moving the master bedroom door to the other side of the room, and knocking out the bathroom wall to extend an additional 3 feet into the hallway, which really was just a waste of space anyway. They assured me that the 3 extra feet would make a world of difference and finally, I agreed to that as well as vaulting the ceilings. As Tim and Mike both got busy with demolition, Susan was with me day after day trying to figure out tile, fixtures, cabinets, etc. I never knew how much work it was and why interior designers got paid so much, but I GET IT NOW. Susan took me to every tile shop in Portland multiple times. We spent hours upon hours trying to find a tile that would look elegant yet not show every spec of dirt or all my long dark hairs. She was SO patient and helpful. After I finally decided on a Tile we needed to find the quartz slab for the counter and tub deck. After spending multiple days trying to find quartz that matched the tile I'd picked, I found THE quartz of all quartz. I fell in love the moment I saw it and go figure, it was the most expensive quartz currently on the market AND it did NOT match my tile, but I HAD to have that quartz. So again we revisited all of the tile shops multiple times for hours on end to match the new quartz. Tim and Susan were also really great about gently bringing us back down to earth when our fantasies were getting out of hand and over budget. So now with the most expensive quartz, not only did we need to find a new tile, but a cheaper tile than we initially thought. After the Quartz and tile were decided, Susan and I spent more hours- which cabinet brand? What door style? What color? What layout? How Tall? What kind of hardware? Finally it was all put together-Looked great to me, but apparently there was a gap in the shower glass that was a few mm more than it should have been and the door didn't open optimally. They could have not mentioned it, but they clearly have integrity and take great pride in their work. After some confrontation with the vendor, they successfully got the glass redone. This is truly my dream bathroom. The only complaint I can think of is that now fancy hotels are less exciting- I always loved the fancy bathrooms, but now, nothing compares to mine. I mean... check out these PERFECT, THIN grout lines. The tub Deck is cut so that its not sharp on my neck. Space was accounted for for me to lean my head back in the tub. The tub deck extends all the way to the side of the sink so there is not gap for dust and stuff to fall into. Every single detail was thoughtfully planned out. I am honestly so impressed by their work, that I would be willing to invite you as potential client into our home to check out our bathroom so you can see for yourself. Ask Tim if you can make an appointment to see "the purple bathroom remodel" read more

We hired Steiner Remodel for a big home improvement project. We put an 8 x 20 addition on the back of our house and had a brand new kitchen built. From the very start of the project to the very end, Tim and his crew were awesome to work with. For the size and expense of this project, we were nervous about trusting a contractor with our house. We knew going in how invasive it was going to be. Tim was responsive, professional and accommodating to any changes that we threw at him. He even treated us to a bento lunch during the long day of shopping for materials. Bonus! The crew kept to the agreed schedule and showed up at 7:30 am each day and left at 4:30. Mike, the foreman always left the jobsite clean and orderly. We are beyond happy with the results and will definately hire them again for big or small projects. We came in within budget and on time. Great work! read more

Steiner Remodel (SR) just finished up 3+ months of work on our new home. We couldn't be happier. SR did a high end, 60K+, bathroom remodel as well as a number of smaller projects that we wanted completed at the new house. One thing that I really valued was that they showed up every week day, with the exception of 4th of July, at 7:30 AM and were at the house until 4:30 or 5:00 PM. This was super appreciated because the remodel put us out of our only full bathroom, so the faster the work was done, the better. Apart from the unbelievable bathroom remodel, SR replaced our carpet stairs with engineered hardwood, put in a sliding door, installed a ceiling fan and put in baseboard... along with some other odds and ends. All the work was of the highest quality. read more

Steiner Remodel has done multiple jobs for me and the work has always been excellent. Tim and his crew do amazing work. He's done repair and remodel work on 2 of our houses and my recording studio. These guys are trustworthy and affordable. I don't even bother getting quotes from anyone else any more. The pride they take in their work and their motivation as a local family owned business sets them apart from all other, flakey, bare minimum effort contractors/remodeling services. Steiner Remodel is the best! read more

Tim is so great to work with and always goes above and beyond. Don't listen to sad, angry people who only use Yelp to write ONE STAR REVIEWS. Every project he's worked on for me, he's been honest, thorough and always pointed out future problems without being pushy. He listens to my ideas and helps turn them in to realistic, affordable, endeavors. read more

Steiner Remodel did an extensive upgrade to an older (1912) house that we bought. Their design ideas were excellent and I relied on them extensively for advice. Their knowledge of construction, old houses in particular, is impeccable. They always tried to find the best option for any given issue and clearly let me know what costs might be incurred. I have complete trust in them for their design and construction as well as their ethics. The completed remodel was beautiful and the work was of excellent quality. During the open house several people asked for their contact information and engaged them for jobs. I continue to refer people to them for jobs of all levels of complexity. Steiner Remodel is my go-to business for all of my remodeling and maintenance jobs. I highly recommend them! read more

I initially hired Steiner Remodel to help me redo the floors in my 1921 built house. I wanted to ditch the carpet and replace with wood. Beyond that I was really unprepared for the job. Tim (owner operator) really helped me out with material both in selection and in explanation as to expense and labor time and I am very pleased with the results and the knowledge i gained. Tim did such an outstanding job on the floor that I just kept adding jobs until I had done a fairly substantial remodel. Kitchen, master bath, floors and a rogue pipe burst and subsequent rebuild of the room the pipe burst in. Tim was fast and efficient in his work and paid exceptional attention to detail. The part of the remodel I was the most surprised by was the gutting of my bathroom. I didn't think any amount of work wold make the room any better as it was not possible to expand without some serious alterations to the houses structure and for the entirety of my time living in the house I have strongly disliked it. Tim turned it into the best possible place it could be and I have never been happier to be in there. On more than one occasion there were unknown unrelated problems from past work and he helped me figure out the best way to solve them for my budget. One of those options was to just tell me how to do some of the more basic things and let me do them myself. Tim was very accommodating to my needs and his communication was excellent. I have been nothing but satisfied with Steiner Remodel and I also recently had Tim rebuild my fence and gate. Again exceptional work and I plan to hire him again. Thanks Steiner Remodel (Tim)!! read more

We used Steiner Remodel for a $70k remodel of our new home on a renovation loan. With a Reno loan, you basically approve a bid and essentially "pre pay" for all the agreed upon work. I would strongly advise against using Steiner remodel for 3 main reasons. 1) They are combative and difficult to deal with, 2) They were dishonest about money and work, 3) The finishing work is poor and extremely sloppy. We had several instances where we ended up in arguments with them about how things should be. They were always very argumentative and constantly leaned on his "professional opinion," which was often wrong or not what we had agreed upon. As I stated before, us, the Steiner's, and the bank agreed upon work to be done for a price set by the Steiner's. Within the loan, there is a contingency built in for any unexpected problems. At one point they told us we were out of money and the rest would be out of pocket. We disagreed and got the bank involved. When audited by the bank, it turns out we still had upwards of $2k in our budget that they had tried to tell us was not there. On another occasion, they said we couldn't afford base shoe and they wouldn't be doing the work. It was already in the contract as one of our "pre paid, agreed upon items." I guess they " forgot about that too and tried to get us to pay for it twice. You basically have to watch every detail because they try to screw you around every corner. Lastly, the work is awful. He sprayed wall texture everywhere without masking anything. We are left with wall texture all over our doors, outlets, and most of the trim in the house. He also did not attach the baseboards to the wall. When we told him to fix it, he simply nailed it into the wall--no caulk anywhere. He also did not putty a single nail hole anywhere in the house- trim, baseboards, inside and outside-it looks terrible. He used the wrong grout around the tub and shower in the bathroom and it was cracked within a week and lets water under the tile. Another major thing was our bathroom faucet was never adhered properly to our sink and just floats around on the counter. He said it was our fault because we chose a cheap faucet. His mother (and partner) chose the faucet and it was on a vanity from their preferred vendor. He never fixed it and blamed us for the shoddy install. We have had new contractors out to fix some of these things and they agree the work is very sub-standard. The plumbing has been a nightmare. The dishwasher leaked the first time we ran it and they did not install the water heater to code or install an expansion tank. I spoke to another plumber and he said that he has never installed a heater without one and it is not industry standard to do so. Tim's professional opinion disagreed. These people are so difficult to deal with and the work is so awful. Don't trust them, don't use them, you will regret it. read more

I have always had great experiences using Steiner Remodel for a wide assortment of jobs. All the work was done professionally and within the budget of the project. I will be using them in the the future and highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Tim and Susan were the model of professional, helpful, knowledgable, and just all around nice human beings. We had a complex basement remodel project. We were first time remodelers, 100-year-old hom owners, and woefully inexperienced in room design. Susan and Tim both came to our home (all the way across the city, in North Portland), twice. They called a couple of experts to consult on difficult items, and they produced a design for us that was exactly how we envisioned the space. The bid was very reasonable, and right on time. Susan was super communicative and helpful. Steiner Remodel was recommended to us by our realtor, and though we did not undertake the project (for reasons that had nothing to do with Tim and Susan!), we were SO happy to meet and work with them. They were both so conscientious of our budget and our timeline, as well as the quality of the work, that I can't believe that someone would write up such an angry review about this pair. They are truly a pleasure to work with, and gems in the business. read more
