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.

We chose Royal Remodeling & Design after a strong referral from a neighbor, and after completing…read moretwo full bathroom remodels and a custom fireplace feature wall, it was absolutely the right decision. Going in, my main concerns were pricing and the quality of the trades, especially based on past experiences. Those concerns disappeared quickly. The craftsmanship was top-level across the board -- tile installation, plumbing, electrical, and finishing were all done with precision. No crooked tiles, no shortcuts, just clean, high-quality work throughout. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We had daily updates, and the project manager Viktor kept everything on track, always responsive and solution-oriented. The entire process was organized, smooth, and professionally managed. The results truly stand out. The fireplace creates a dramatic focal point the moment you walk into the room, with clean lines and precise execution. Both bathrooms have completely different styles and feel like stepping into a high-end spa. We selected Fabuwood cabinets, Cambria quartz countertops, and custom tile, and the final outcome exceeded expectations. The crew was professional, respectful, on time, and kept the job site clean every day. Everything was done in the right sequence with strong attention to detail. What sets Royal Remodeling & Design apart is their professionalism, communication, and execution. If you're looking for a general contractor in Sarasota for full bathroom remodels, with a true designer showroom in downtown Sarasota, this is the team to go with. Easily one of the best general contractors in the area. We've already received many compliments from friends and neighbors and couldn't be happier with the finished product. Highly recommend.

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!

Unfortunately, the…read moreshower door came from their supplier damaged and the incorrectly sized half wall panel was not checked for accuracy to the confirmed 2nd measurement prior to installation . This lead to a 3 week preventable delay.

Simply the Best!…read more Simply the Best! When was the last time you heard that about a contractor? Well Alpha Kitchen Design (Isaque the owner) is the best to work with. I got four quotes to renovate my kitchen last year and chose Alpha because of what seemed like a fair estimate (not the lowest but not the highest), good quality cabinets and the fact that Isaque knew and cared about what we wanted to do. I also liked the fact that he is a "stone" guy and loves the beauty of natural stone counters. Isaque and his team did not disappoint. Of particular note are his plumber and tile guys who are top notch. They came when they said, and did the work they said they would do on time and within budget. Isaque kept me in the loop as I was out of town when the renovation was occurring, including me only when necessary about potential issues which he always worked out with great judgement and professionalism. The last and probably best compliment you can give someone is that I used his services again to remodel my guest bath this year. Again, Isaque and his team worked with me to make sure everything was covered. There were naturally a couple of "surprises" which Isaque handled with ease going above and beyond in some cases. Of course I would recommend Alpha Kitchen Design to anyone looking to get a great contractor and have a hassle free experience resulting in a beautiful new kitchen or bath. John Leslie - Siesta Key

I see I'm the first to post, but SO happy to be giving Isaque five stars. We did our homework and…read moreresearched three other vendors. Some higher, some lower. What learned, is that not all remodelers include permits, painters, etc., thus add'l expense. Alpha's price was all inclusive. Isaque did allow us to purchase a few things outside of our contract, like sink, faucet, wine refrig., and the hardware, which we found at less cost. All of the subs go through him. I'll admit the kitchen was a mess for six weeks, but once everything started getting installed, it went very quickly. Despite so many things being on B/O today, all our cabinets arrived promptly. To our surprise and delight, there was only one follow-up call required. All the trades people were professional, clean, and respective. We are enjoying the abundance of (new) cabinets, the style, layout, and especially the quartz countertop. Isaque listened to our ideas and did not try to oversell us. The contract was very detailed with cost per line item, easy to follow. We appreciate the quality of the cabinets (Jarlin and FGT). All soft close, and all with pull-outs, top AND bottom. Isaque is very detail-oriented and wants to make his customers happy. Indeed, he did with us. He is very personable, attentive, and shows up for all appts. We will be working with him again on our great room credenza project this year, we are that pleased. We highly recommend. BTW, if you go to his showroom, you have to go to Walt's Fish Market across the street!
