Red Oak crew members are considerate of customers' homes and leave the worksite tidy at the day's end. That's Kristen with the vacuum.
Customers consistently compliment the crew for its cleanliness.
Bob's attention to cost and neatness are appreciated
The first project Bob did for us was to replace all of our windows and the front door. Several years previous, we had gotten an estimate from a replacement window company and decided not to go ahead because the cost seemed too high. Bob's estimate was considerably less.

We took his recommendation on specific windows and he coached us to obtain an online rebate process to get the best deals on windows. The new windows have eliminated drafts and are easy to open. One window required fashioning a new sill, and Bob's handmade sill looks better than the original.

I was very impressed at how his crew worked without totally disrupting our house, and how clean he left the house at the end of each day. We have since used him for a downstairs renovation, with equally happy results. Bob replaced a window, built a wall and a closet. He shows up when he says he will and finishes the project on schedule.

Now, when I think of some household project that needs to be done, instead of figuring out when I could perhaps attempt it, I start thinking about when I can get Reliable Bob in for an estimate.

Red Oak offers a font of ideas for an old house
Reliable Bob is professional, courteous and a good communicator. He is honest about what he can and cannot do. In our case, we have an old house and a limited budget. Bob does a good job of making suggestions of how to stay within our budget, and work we can do ourselves.

When Bob came to drywall a back staircase, he noticed the ceiling needed redoing. Even though it was outside of the parameters of the job, Bob said we could mix latex paint with joint compound and swirl it on the ceiling. It was a quick, cost-effective, easy project for us to do after he left. Bob wasn't even working on that aspect of the job. It looks fantastic, and it was fun and fast.

Bob always has a lot of good ideas and suggestions. I really like that, especially when you live in an old house, like we do. We often call him for his expertise as a contractor, and work together to come up with creative affordable design solutions.

Reliable Bob builds a triple-header at Nagog Woods
I have a triple-header of Reliable Bob's work in the form of three renovated bathrooms in my home. A neighbor recommended Bob to me, and since his triple header, I have recommended him to others in Nagog Woods. Bob is professional, on time, and has an excellent design sense. Because he is multi-talented, it minimizes the need for subcontractors, so the job gets done quickly.

I appreciated the fast turnaround on the three bathroom renovations, and reasonably accurate cost estimates. I liked being able to go with him to Home Depot to pick out the fixtures, tile and other materials. The sub-contractors he did use were very capable and efficient. Bob was prompt to follow up on the few and very minor problems.

Composite deck proves it's weather-proof
Reliable Bob and crew repaired some major dry-rot on several of our windows and rebuilt our front sun deck with the new composite boarding. We were ambivalent about the new composite, but he worked very patiently with us, gave usa choice of several different styles, and we're very satisfied with the final product and appearance.

Bob also has a wonderful design sense in addition to his craft skills. We'll be calling him again!

Bob's expertise fills in the gaps for do-it-yourselfer
Reliable Bob worked with me to renovate my kitchen and bathroom. I had mostly worked out the bathroom renovation, but needed some help with the lighting from Bob. He did an excellent job of tearing everything out and rebuilding it from the walls out.

I planned out the kitchen renovation using Ikea, and we did most of the installation ourselves. I called Reliable Bob for one day when we amateurs needed his expertise. I really like how clean Bob and his crew work. They use drop-cloths and put away everything at the end of the day so I don't trip over tools and materials. I'll be calling Reliable Bob again.
