RSL Building describes itself on Houzz as doing general home repairs, historic home preservation, energy saving weatherstripping of windows and doors, and plaster repair of historic horsehair plaster. Houzz lists it as EPA certified for lead paint. In a 2017 Houzz review, a customer said Bob had helped them many times over the past seven or so years, repairing and plastering old ceilings, renovating a bathroom and re-caulking old windows. In a 2024 review, a customer thanked Bob and Tony for fixing a bathroom closet door that was scraping the floor. In a 2012 Angi review, a customer said Bob worked very quickly, did exactly as asked, and had every imaginable tool in his truck for an unusual project. In a 2024 Houzz review, a customer said they asked Bob to replace the door between garage and home, that the job was incomplete, and that they were charged $1k, not the $200-300 promised. In a 2019 Houzz review, a customer said Bob misled them on what the project would cost, charged for trips to the hardware store, and that one of the workers stole from them.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from RSL BUILDING. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$23,000 – $35,000
Typical remodeling project around $29,000
Asked Bob to replace the door between garage and home. Worked slowly with a helper and charged by the hour for each. Job incomplete and charged $1k, not the $200-300 promised.
Thanks Bob and Tony for fixing my bathroom closet door that was scraping the floor. You were quick, efficient and professional.
Bob misled us on what our project would cost. He charged us for his trips to the hardware store and then handed us a bill for all the supplies he bought, most of which we weren't even sure was was ours. They guys he had working in our house were arrived late, left early and worked slowly- all the while we were being charged by the hour for. One of them even STOLE FROM US! Do NOT let these people in your house!
Bob has helped me many times over the past seven or so years. He is very good at old house issues . He has repaired and plastered old ceilings, renovated bathroom, re caulked old windows making them tight again. These are only a few things he has done. It he does not do it himself, he knows who does and will connect you to them. Bob has never let me down and his prices are reasonable.
Bob was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. Would hire him again for future work.
