Resourceful Renovator

As a new homeowner, I was venturing into the world of renovation and contracting for the first time. Rob, Heather, and the team at Resourceful Renovator were incredibly responsive, helpful, and professional. We were working with plans the previous owners had developed with RR and Heather worked from that foundation to help me personalize the project to my needs and interests. Heather's advance design planning and attention to detail meant the team could hit the ground running when the demolition got underway. During construction it was clear that Rob has a keen eye for maintaining the character of an old building even while modernizing the space. The team communicated clearly, provided frequent budget and progress updates, and consulted with me on any deviations from our plans to ensure there were no surprises. Even with some personnel shifts mid-project, the timeline stayed roughly the same and the quality of work was not affected. The budget creeped up a bit during the project, but that was expected with the scope of the work and was also due to design decisions on my part. Overall, I felt like the project was great value for money. Even though there wasn't much to work with on the "resourceful" side of the project, Rob was able to find creative ways to convert my old kitchen island into floating shelves, reuse the window molding to unify new additions to the rest of the space, and to preserve and spruce up the existing beams in the kitchen. As great as it was to have my kitchen and bathroom finished and my space back, I have to say I missed having the RR team around and getting the daily progress updates! I could not speak more highly of the whole process with RR.

Working with Resourceful Renovator was the absolute best experience I’ve had with a contractor in my 40 years of home ownership! The staff is responsive- they listen and really hear what you want/expect from a job. Every step of the way during our recent kitchen renovation was easy— construction was neat and showed care for the rest of my house! And the work was completed with excellence. We are looking forward to a continued relationship with this innovative, creative and skilled group of people.

We had a great experience with the entire team at Resourceful Renovator and are planning to use them again for more projects in the future! The crew was friendly, did excellent work, cleaned up at the end of each day, and sent us pictures of the progress while we were at work. Couldn't recommend the Resourceful Renovator team more!

Rob and his team did an amazing renovation of our historic duplex. His team took the house down to the studs and rebuilt it to modern standards while keeping true to the house and neighborhood. Rob's appreciation for craftsmanship was apparent as he and his team went the extra mile to replicate original millwork, save and reuse materials. His crew is talented, respectful, and run a very clean job site. Living in another state was a challenge that we addressed by weekly calls. Rob kept us up to date with the budget and helped us make informed decisions. The design software was helpful to visualize what the project would look like and we enjoyed the daily update photos on Buildertrend. Heather was invaluable! She was integral in the layout and design process, making appointments with vendors, ordering everything for 2 houses, organizing installations and communicating with tradesmen. My many questions were answered thoughtfully, tactfully and in a timely manner. We love our house!

Rob and his crew worked on our seasonal camp on Mallets Bay in Colchester, VT. Being a seasonal camp we wanted to keep it authentic, but do some much needed work. Rob was able to do exactly that. It is almost impossible to know that the camp was actually worked on and this is a great thing! Resourceful Renovator was able to sure up the foundation, put on a new roof, replace some windows, put in a new slider door as well as replace some rot and match the existing millworked siding. I received daily updates through an app that also included photos of the work that had been done each day. The work space was clean and tidy. Resourceful Renovator was able to work within our budget with outstanding results. I highly recommend Resourceful Renovator for any home project, big or small. I will definitely be using them again for any future upgrades or projects.
