My experience with RAH Home Improvements was stellar on many fronts. First, the owner Scott took care to listen to my needs and became very engaged... to ensure those needs were met and was sensitive to meeting all challenges that I faced in the large-scale renovations. I was also presented with good options on parts of the work to help make the best outcome. The cost was very reasonable and lower than other competing estimates. He and his team were always friendly and professional with all interactions. The work was done in a quality manner and for the very few items needing additional attention, each was readily handled. Overall, I am a happy customer, would gladly use them again, and recommend them for home renovation/restoration projects.read more

Contract signed August 26. Work started on October 6. Estimated completion four weeks. Completed on November 20. Scott (managing partner) was... quick to answer request I had placed through BBB in April regarding the project we were hoping to do. He was interested, came within two days to see the work. Was good at listening. I was still interviewing other General Contractors, and didn't decide to use RAH until May 22. Took longer than I anticipated to get a quote - but always felt like RAH was trying to get the best deal with the quotes they were receiving. I purchased all light fixtures (except for 8 can lights), two sinks & 1 faucet, new glass top burner unit, all hardware for knobs and handles, and front door lock and handle system. The Electrical, Painting/Plumbing/Wall Spackling Contractors were great! Did great work and cleaned up after themselves. Our Project Manager was fantastic. He always let us know when the contractors were going to be coming and an approximate time. Very good at following up. A word of warning I would say - is go with a counter top contractor that RAH would recommend. RAH will even go with you to look. I went off on my own - trying to save some money. The company I chose had good product, but their installers were awful. Because I went on my own and contracted them - our General Contractor had no say in the outcome - and they tried anyway. RAH was great. Keep good notes on what you want and expect and make sure that the owner and project manager both have a copy. These are great people to work with.Work Included: painting all cabinets in kitchen - walls, ceiling in kitchen and dining room, enlarging island in two directions - adding 5 cabinets - prep sink- a two trash can cabinet, replaced all lazy susan parts, & glass top burner. Adding 6 rolling soft close shelves inside cabinets. Replacing new sink in main counter top. Replaced old hinges with soft close on all cabinets. 8 new can lights in kitchen, and 5 more hanging lights. Several special requests were accommodated regarding electrical and cabinets.read more

After experiencing a defective flooring installation in our house, we put our trust in this company to install new flooring correctly. We were not... disappointed. The improper prep work under the flooring was corrected and new flooring was laid. We are super pleased with the results. The team working on this whole house floor installation was professional and easy to work with. They worked room to room, moving the furniture as needed, and we stayed in our home during the entire process. All the furniture was put back in place. I highly recommend them.read more
