What do recent reviews say?

Most jobs run smooth and finish strong. Reviewers consistently praise Rob's attention to detail, clear communication, and willingness to flag issues (like carpenter ants or hidden damage) before closing walls. One 3-star review flagged delays, billing surprises, and communication lapses on a major water-damage restoration, though subcontractors themselves performed well. Small maintenance and cabinet work draw universal praise; full kitchen remodels also shine when expectations are set upfront.
