Raupp posts a perfect 5.0 across 115 reviews, the largest and cleanest sentiment record on this list, built on daily photo updates, owner-led inspections, and in-house carpenters who fix structural surprises before they derail a job.

• ✓Sources rare slabs from other suppliers to match a vision
• ✓Precise templating and careful in-home installation
• ✓Strong repeat-customer base over 10+ years

Why it ranks fourth

MM Pro pairs a perfect 5.0 rating with turnaround reviewers describe as days rather than weeks, using Sherwin Williams paint and named crew (Juliano, Diones) who handle carpentry repairs alongside the painting. One reviewer specifically credited the team with managing an unexpected issue mid-renovation without losing the schedule.

Pros

• ✓Scheduling often measured in days, not weeks
• ✓Sherwin Williams paint and high-quality primer
• ✓Handles minor carpentry alongside painting in one visit

Why it ranks fifth

RLR's reviewers describe Romaine Reid's crew tackling load-bearing walls and 90-year-old rehabs with the same calm, on-budget execution they bring to a straightforward kitchen refresh. Kitchen jobs specifically draw praise for modern cabinetry and island installs that turn into visible before-and-after transformations.

Pros

• ✓Handles load-bearing and structural changes, not just cosmetic work
• ✓Clean job sites with thorough post-work cleanup
• ✓Transparent, honest pricing with named crew accountability
• ✓On-time delivery even on complex, multi-week jobs

Why it ranks sixth

Pistritto has been fabricating stone since 1978 and holds BBB accreditation since 2004, with the same named staff, Sabrina, Luciano and Mariella, guiding customers from material selection through install and, years later, repairs. The 62-review sample is smaller than the top names here but every review lands five stars.

Why it ranks seventh

Spaces LLC covers a lot of ground, kitchen and bath remodels with owner Andrew handling insurance-claim paperwork directly, and most of its 172 reviews describe responsive communication and on-time work with a post-project punch list. One larger project drew a serious complaint about months of silence and a disputed design, which is worth weighing against the otherwise strong pattern.

Pros

• ✓Owner personally manages insurance claims and communication
• ✓On-time completion with a formal punch-list inspection
• ✓One-stop capability across kitchen, bath and related trades
• ✓Large review base (172) with mostly positive sentiment

Why it ranks eighth

Advance Plumbing isn't a remodeler, it's the trade partner reviewers call for sink, line and fixture work during a kitchen project, and its 184 reviews describe same-day availability, clear pricing, and technicians who explain the work before starting. That makes it a solid pairing for anyone whose contractor doesn't handle plumbing in-house.

Pros

• ✓Same-day and emergency scheduling
• ✓Transparent pricing with no reported hidden fees
• ✓Technicians explain the work as they go
• ✓Responsive office staff for quick booking

Why it ranks ninth

Pros

• ✓Owner Ryan manages projects personally
• ✓No upselling, guidance fits the actual need
• ✓Multi-year repeat customer relationships
• ✓Comfortable working with property managers and condo boards

Why it ranks tenth

• ✓On-time, on-budget track record
• ✓Handles full-scope, multi-room projects cleanly
• ✓Fair pricing praised across reviews

• ✓Pulls permits and works to code
• ✓Transparent when unexpected issues (like rot) come up

• ✓Complete project management start to finish
• ✓Responsive during and after the project

Why it ranks #13

• ✓Fair pricing relative to quality delivered
