A recent customer had Valley Home Improvement turn a basement into a family room with a bath and kitchenette, a few years after the company remodeled a kitchen and bath for them. That customer credited its use of CAD design and its work at carrying out the homeowner's own design ideas rather than a cookie-cutter remodel. The Northampton company describes itself as a design-build residential remodeler handling kitchens, bathrooms, additions, sunrooms, porches, basements and garages across the Pioneer Valley, and says it has done renovation work there for over 31 years. A recent customer appreciated the daily clean-up. A 2023 customer said a down-to-the-studs bathroom renovation took about four weeks and that the household could live and work in the house during the project. A 2023 customer said Chris and Cody, on a complete kitchen remodel, made time to meet in the mornings and again at the end of the day. A 2023 customer said the company completed a huge addition and kitchen renovation. A 2022 customer whose kitchen renovation and new bathroom covered half the first floor said the rest of the house was sealed off during demolition. That 2022 customer said custom mouldings and pillars were added to match the Victorian-era woodwork. A 2022 customer said a gutted basement room was remodeled from the ceiling to the floor, and that they then contracted with the company to reconstruct a shed destroyed by a tree fall. A 2022 customer who had done several large and small projects with the company said that when something was not quite right, it was taken care of promptly and with no extra charge. The Houzz accounts are older. A 2016 Houzz reviewer described a deck built from Red Balau wood, with the design redrawn several times to fit the budget. A 2016 Houzz reviewer had a basement finished into three rooms plus a bathroom and mechanical area. On Reddit, a 2024 commenter said they hired the company twice, once for bathrooms and once for a kitchen, and praised its builder's warranty. A recent Reddit commenter called it expensive but praised its project management. A recent Reddit commenter who had worked with the company called it a more budget-friendly option but would absolutely not recommend it. Another May 2026 Reddit commenter said that when Valley Home Improvement came out for a consultation, the guy might as well have said he'd just tear it down and start over. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 105543, held by Valley Home Improvement Inc, is active on the state registry. A 2024 customer who sent a contact form for an estimate said the reply put the wait at two to three weeks. A 2017 Houzz reviewer said they met with Steve about a condo renovation and never received the estimate despite following up several times. A 2019 Houzz reviewer said a porch the company built in 2005 began to rot because work was done improperly, including a bottom railing installed upside down. That 2019 reviewer also said a second layer of asphalt shingles the company put on in 2005 was nailed improperly.
“When we had Valley Home Improvement come out for a consultation, the guy might as well have said "i'd just tear it down and start over". Nope. Bye!”
“I’d worked with Valley Home Improvement previously, they’re definitely a more budget-friendly option, but would absolutely not recommend.”
“Valley Home Improvement. Expensive but excellent, including really good project management and an owner who really listens to his clients.”
“Talk to Tino at River Valley Home Improvement 413-588-8527. Mention my name (handle here). He did this kind of work for me and did a beautiful job.”
“I’ve worked with Valley Home Improvement twice, once for bathrooms and once for my kitchen. Idk how they compare with other folks but obviously I liked them since I hired them twice. The quality of the work has been impressive and their builders warranty is great.”
A few years ago I did a review of VHI. However, when I dropped my old Google workplace account it was lost. I need to repeat that review. A few years ago they remodeled a kitchen and bath. The work was first rate. VHI has the best craftspersons, they are meticulously clean, and they use state of the art CAD (Computer aided design). Would not do a remodel without their skilled use of CAD. Recently we had them back to remodel a basement into a family room with bath and kitchenette. Again, their work was first rate. They are great to work with in part because they listen and work at executing the home owner’s design ideas rather than do some cookie cutter remodel.
Working with Valley Home Improvement was a wonderful experience. Their craftsmanship, communication and friendliness was exceptional. We appreciated the daily clean up. They definitely earn 5 stars.
Valley Home improvement-Five Stars Valley Home improvement gets my highest recommendations! They did an excellent job soundproofing and upgrading my front bedroom. Their work is extremely professional, and their attention to detail is impressive. The upgrade definitely increased the value of my home, the room looks great, and it is so much quieter than any other room in the house. Everyone on the VHI team was nice and easy to work with, and they were very accommodating with my scheduling needs. I am very grateful several of my neighbors highly recommended them.
You send them contact form Tell them what you'd like so you can get an estimate and they send you another email stating you could take two to three weeks to get back to you?? Are you kidding me? Two to 3 weeks well then you must be so busy you don't need my business and I'm definitely not going to give you it. That's disgusting How can you run a company like that. No wonder you reviews are so bad
We have worked with VHI for two big projects. They are professional and great to work with.
