Reviews

What customers say

Several recent reviews praise professional service and quality work, with more than one noting that the work was on time. One customer reported lifting corners soon after hardwood-floor and baseboard work; a return repair failed, follow-up calls and messages went unanswered, and the customer said they were harassed until they paid.

I hired the Vanguard Company for the bathroom renovation. The experience was great. The crew was very professional, reliable and with excellent customer service. Because of this great experience, I rehired them for flooring renovations and staircase remodeling. They did excellent work and I am planning hired them in the future for my renovation projects. I would higly recommend this company for home renovations. .

I recently had Vanguard do my floors and it turned out great. The whole team is super responsive and their attention to detail was great. Highly recommend.

I would never recommend this company to anyone. Beware of the comments with the 5 stars as they seem to be family/friends. We asked them to replace the hardwood floors and baseboards and the corners started lifting right away. When we asked them to come back they glued one of the edges and put a weight on it which after a couple of days popped right back up. When we asked them to come back again they stopped answering our messages and calls. They also added a $4000 surcharge on top of our agreed upon price at the end and harassed us until we gave it to them. Now we are left having to hire another company after paying these guys over $20k!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Vanguard take standalone flooring or painting jobs?

No. Flooring, drywall, tile and painting are handled as part of full renovation projects; standalone interlock and parging services are also not currently offered.

How is the renovation timeline established?

A project-specific timeline is provided with the quote after a site visit, taking scope, material lead times and plumbing or electrical changes into account.

Can the team help determine permit requirements?

Yes. Vanguard confirms what permits the particular bathroom project needs.

What is documented before work starts, and how does the job finish?

The scope, timeline and cost are put in writing before work starts. The bathroom renovation ends with a shared walkthrough and attention to deficiencies before closeout.
