"I love our new bathroom." - me, literally every time I walk into our newly remodeled bathroom.The Garas team did a fantastic job coordinating the project. Ken and Jamie sent weekly emails on progress and next steps, so we always knew what was happening and who was at our house. Their sub-contractors did an excellent job keeping our house clean during the remodel. The Garas team was also patient with our many questions and changing our plans a few times. We would love to work with them again on a future project!
Garas Remodeling helped us with a master bathroom remodel, and the whole process was absolutely WONDERFUL! Ken was very easy to talk with, he provided great suggestions and was very patient in answering our multiple questions; even the ones I asked more than once! His estimate was VERY reasonable and actually quite a bit lower than two other estimates we received for the exact same project. Any additional charges upon completion were from things we added after the reconstruction started, and Ken was very clear and upfront with us about the additional cost before implementing those changes. Ken personally stopped by to check on the progress almost every day, and he did an amazing job of letting us know who was coming to do the work each day/week. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Ken as well as all the licensed professionals he works with, and I absolutely LOVE our new bathroom! I highly recommend Garas Remodeling…you won't regret using them for your next remodeling project!
We had our basement finished and Garas Remodeling did a great job! They explained the process and gave pictures of what it would look like. Their subcontractors were great too! Ken and Jaime came out often to see how the job was going. Would definitely recommend them!Wayne and Rita
Before we started our project, we got bids. Most contractors could not start our project for 9 months to a year from the time we got our estimate. Garas remodeling was able to begin within 3 months of the estimate. Additionally, Garas was half the price of our highest estimate. We were a little apprehensive of choosing them because of these extreme differences. I am happy to say we have absolutely no regrets! The reason for the ability to start our project sooner is because Garas Remodeling does not overextend themselves. Ken and Jaime only commit to the volume of work that they can manage and are committed to keeping a close eye on the work of their subcontractors. Each day during the process they would stop in and check on the progress as it was happening or shortly after a contractor left and would follow up with an email on the process. Ken and Jaime have high expectations of their subcontractors and have even higher expectations than we did. Through the process I had questions or concerns and Ken was quick to answer with clear answers. We gave our budget and the ideas we had in mind. We became overwhelmed at times with options or choices and the businesses that they chose to do our work were so good about guiding us through this. Never did anyone try to upsell us and we kept the project within our budget. Ken and Jaime go above and beyond. An example of that is our appliances. We ordered those ourselves and there was quite a delay in getting our microwave. When I mentioned that to Ken in passing he said, “lLet me take care of that.” Impressively, he picked up our microwave the next day and it was installed the same day. He didn’t have to do that. He just cares that much. If you reach out to them for work and they say they turn it down, it’s not that they can’t. Timelines are important to them and they don’t want to overextend themselves realtime g in an unsatisfied customer. The Garas family truly are great people and I’m going to miss their daily check ins. I read a review where they were referenced as the Chip and Joanna Gaines of Rochester. I couldn’t agree more! We absolutely love our new kitchen!
We contacted Garas for quotes on replacing our deck and remodeling our primary bath. Ken was very quick at meeting with us and getting us our quotes, he was also willing and able to work within our budget on both of these and the results are amazing and we couldn't be happier! Besides for all positive experiences with Ken which also included various phone calls with questions or concerns that he always promptly handled the project manager was great to work with and the subcontractors were awesome! Overall everyone was pleasant, respectful and did great jobs and myself and my husband would highly recommend using Garas Remodeling.
