Bates Home Improvements were very professional with their services, paid attention to detail and cleaned up at the end of each day during renovations. This was very appreciated since we have two kids under 4 at home. They not only completely renovated our kitchen with new flooring, cabinets, lighting fixtures, sink, etc., but also removed a wall to open up our kitchen to the dining room. They also extended the landing for our back entrance to the kitchen and built a closet to create more storage space for this entrance. We are very satisfied with the results of this renovation and have only positive comments to make about this contractor.
Jeff and his team fully renovated my master bedroom...removing all the old fixtures, moving all the plumbing around and then installing new fixtures, new floors, tiling, full paint, etc. They worked efficiently and cleanly, cleaning up my hallways, etc. every day at the end of the day so I could continue to enjoy my house. Jeff discussed all changes, worked with me to re-layout the bathroom including a tricky move of the toilet. The finished product is beautiful.
Jeff and his team were my "Knights in shining armor" after having just gone through a renovation nightmare with another contractor. My house now looks like I had originally hoped for. Budget never changed and the work was completed in the time that was originally estimated. Each day my house was left very clean. Highly recommend Bates Home Improvement.
We hired Bates to finish our basement after buying a home last year and were very satisfied with the whole experience. Maggi was quite responsive in responding to our request for a quote and asked a lot of questions to be sure they understood what we were looking for. The price offered was competitive and contracting was simple and accommodating for our needs.
Work began on time and we always felt aware of how things were progressing. Jeff and his team were very helpful and quite willing to accept some last minute changes and extra requests we made. Things finished on schedule and when some minor touch-ups were needed afterward, as is not unusual for such work, Jeff took care of them promptly. I'd highly recommend Bates for anyone seeking construction or renovation work for their home.
I had just got rid of a contractor for total incompetence when I happened along Bates Home Improvements. Jeff Bates gave me a quote for the kitchen renovation.Jeff always discussed my options and provided me with several different scenarios.Once the kitchen was complete and being very happy with the outcome, I made the decision to continue with Jeff and his crew and was not disappointed.
I highly recommend Bates Home Improvements.

We enlisted Bates Home Improvement to do a large renovation of the main level of our home. The home is old, and required a complete gutting of a large space.
The project included a kitchen, insulation, lighting/wiring/electrical, flooring, windows, doors, plumbing, new walls, painting, etc., as well as fixing many existing issues that were problematic in the original home. The job was well-managed and well-organized, even as the project evolved and we encountered challenges along the way.
Their team was responsive, courteous, clean, efficient, and highly knowledgeable. Bates delivered everything they promised, and did so within their anticipated timeline and budget. Maggi and Jeff are honest, realistic, genuine, and truly know what they’re doing. They turned what initially seemed like an overwhelming undertaking (to us) into a pleasant and streamlined process.
We are thrilled with the final result, and would absolutely recommend their services without hesitation!
I had the pleasure to work with Mr. Bates and company many moons ago. By chance my wife hired him for our bathroom reno without putting together we knew each other. Not only am I glad to see old friends, I am extremely pleased with results of our bathroom. After completing a full Kitchen renovation only months ago, we could make a direct comparison between Bates and the contractor we used for our kitchen. NO COMPARISON! Bates should up on time, everyday, accomplished communicated goals and milestones. They were clean, polite and considerate to my family and my home. Truly a pleasurable experience. I have always been biased regarding the how much Mr. Bates is a quality guy, I am now also biased on his full team, company and quality workmanship.
Bates Home Improvements has done a lot of renovations at my home. Jeff and his staff are meticulous in performing the work requested and it is always well done and the space is cleaned when they leave. We have called upon Bates Home Improvement several times for small and big jobs. The work performed was building a new deck, painting, dry wall, wood work, electrical, plumbing, replacing hardwood floors and installing new carpet. Also Jeff will take the time to explain what needs to be done and ensures that the reasoning is understood and will answer any questions that you may have. I would definitely recommend Jeff and his team for any work that you may have.
Bates renovated our 900 square foot unfinished basement. The work included framing and constructing walls and ceiling, installation of hardwood flooring, painting, and electrical and pot lighting. Final results were excellent and we couldn't be happier. Workers were professional, friendly and tidy.
I can't say enough about Glenn who was hands-on from the start to the finish of our reno; our minds were at ease throughout it all (you could tell he genuinely cared about the quality of the work being done, and it showed, both during the reno and in the final product - he even came in two Saturdays in a row to keep the schedule on track). Jeff was on site every day and the opportunity to discuss the reno was always there. And once they started the reno they were at it every day, no disappearing for a day (or days) or anything like that. It was also great that Maggi acts almost like a 24/7 contact that you can reach out to.
One of the big concerns we had with flooring was any kind of 'squeaking' noise, as we'd heard that can be an issue in basement hardwood floors. A week post reno and I can say there isn't a squeak anywhere.
This was our first major reno and I'd say for price and finished product I don't think it could have gone any better. To be frank, the quality of the work surpasses the actual builder's work in the upstairs areas.
We also had a messed up furnace that made a high-pitched tuning fork noise through most of the reno and the workers never once complained even though it must have made their job harder having that noise constantly in the background.
I really can't say enough about Bates' workers and the quality of the work done, both A+ in my books.

We hired Bates Home Improvements to perform renovations on our kitchen, bathroom and front entrance. We interviewed many potential contractors, and in the end felt most comfortable with Bates. From the beginning, Maggi and Jeff worked closely with us to design and conceptualize the work which was to be performed. Maggi was able to listen to all of our ideas and come up with a design that we were really happy with. Once work started on our home, we noticed the workers were very professional and respectful of our space, with a great attention to detail. The areas of the home which were renovated were always kept clean and tidy when we returned home. Work was completed on time and we are now loving our new space. The end result is something that we could not have envisioned when we first started this process. Jeff and Maggi ensured that we were happy with everything and even came back a few times to fix some minor cosmetic issues for us. We would most definitely recommend Bates Home Improvement to anyone looking for a quality job at a reasonable price.
