RAM Construction is a remodeling business whose HomeAdvisor profile calls it an owner/operator business, with the owner on the job rather than a sub. A 2020 customer said Rich took on a major renovation of their property and was open to the reviewer's husband's suggestions while offering his own ideas. A 2019 customer who hired Rich for a project on a summer home on York Beach, Maine, said they went on to hire him for several more projects on the property. In a 2017 review, a customer said Rich gave a time frame for a basement remodel, the job got done on time, and his bid was the most affordable of three. A 2014 customer said Rich finished their basement remodel work on time and on budget. A 2014 customer who wanted a finished basement said Rich created storage space and helped set up and install a TV and stereo. In a 2006 review, a customer said Rich Malatak finished 800 square feet of basement with a bathroom in four weeks, though extras at the end of around 300 - 500 in total were ones that customer had thought were included in the price. In a 2019 review, a customer said a kitchen and living room remodel that included turning the garage into living space took almost 8 months when it was supposed to take 8 to 10 weeks, that no building permits were pulled, that they were left without a kitchen sink for 19 days, and that the garage never got done. That 2019 customer also said they were overcharged by $9,000. In a 2012 review, a customer said a basement remodeling project was not finished after 3 months and they had to hire someone else to complete it, while noting Rich did have health problems. A 2012 reviewer wrote that RAM Construction started the job but didn't finish and that the work had to be reworked by another company.
We hired Rich with RAM Construction to complete a major renovation to our property. With my husband being a contractor himself but having no time to do the work, this was a big step to take on our behalf and we needed a contractor we could trust to show up and complete this major renovation. Rich took the job on knowing full well what challenges may exist with working at another contractorâ s home. Rich was completely open to my husbandâ s suggestions as well as being able to provide his own ideas on how to complete the project. Even though we had a contract Rich has been very accommodating with allowing us to veer outside of the project specs. Rich has been great to work with and we recommend him 100% to anyone who may be looking for a great Contractor.
I hired Rich of RAM construction to complete a project on our Summer home on York Beach Maine. As a resident of Massachusetts, we needed a contractor that would complete this project without supervision as well as be able to trust them with access to our property without our being there. Rich went above and beyond our expectations and gave us a finished project that was not in our vision when the project was started. As a result of Richs great work,we have hired him to complete several more projects on our property to which he has completed and we also have him slated to do more work as soon as his schedule opens up. You cant go wrong with hiring RAM Construction.
Stay away! I have so much I can share but there is not sufficient room for all of it. but here is some of what I have to say. First off he did not pull any building permits to do the work. He outright lied to me and my fiance saying It was not necessary. he took almost 8 months to remodel my kitchen and Living room, the Job which included turning the Garage into living space was supposed to take only 8 -10 weeks! He was gone working other jobs for weeks at a time. He left me without a Kitchen Sink for 19 days!!!! grossly over charged me by $9,000.00 dollars. Forced me to keep much of my belongings in outside storage which cost me an addl. $1,000.00 and he assumed no responsibility for it. My job was left incomplete, He bankrupt the job so the garage never got done. Molding, vinyl siding trim, unfinished painting. and the list goes on. This contractor is an LLC. and cannot be sued personally. I was going to take him to court. even though I would win as he breached his contract in several places, I would not see a dime!. Thats the beauty of being an llc. Therefor I will never do business with this contractor or any LLC ever again. I have proof pictures and all supporting documentation to justify this review. Never once did this guy show up before 10:00 A.M. He maybe worked 6 hours a day on average tops and that is being generous!!! Save yourself Money, Time and aggravation by staying away from this contractor.
Rich was a real pro, his creativity improve our original plans dramatically, and he brought it to life through his talents. I could not recommend him more highly for any manner of Home projects and what he did to our previous concrete cave of a basement is pretty spectacular. I currently am I looking for additional projects that I want Rich to tackle for us! You can not go wrong.
Rich was great to work with: communication, craftsmanship & $ Great!!! . He provided a time frame in regards to the completion off the job and the job got done on time & without issue. Our Basement remodel wasn't largest on Rich's plate, but Rich made you feel as if it was the most important project he had. We had 3 contractors including rich submit bids and Rich's bid was by fair the most affordable and the quality of work was excellent. We would hire rich back in a heart beat.
