R&M General Contracting

Slava was great to work with, always responsive, and great with solutions, staying on budget, and listening to us. We bought a house, and decided to do water proofing and have them re-pour the concrete floor. This meant the basement had to be gutted. I didn't expect it to be so hard to find someone to rebuild only what we wanted to do. Everyone was only interested in doing everything as a package which included a bunch of stuff I didn't want. I got in touch with Slava because I saw a bunch of reviews that specifically said how he easy to work with in only doing the work that was asked. So when I said we want to put walls back up, and rebuild the bathroom that was taken out with the addition of a shower there was no pressure to do anything else. Slava offered suggestions when things came up as they do with any project, but these were always really useful. He suggested rerouting some ducting to get height in the new shower (which our HVAC contractor did).Since we'll eventually replace our windows, so he made it easy to remove the inserts... Knew we eventually wanted to redo parts of the kitchen and upstairs bath, so suggesting running some of the plumping through the basement now to make it easier to do later. He figured out how to make it so we could get our standard appliances into the basement (saving us from buying new, smaller ones), etc. So a couple of additions, but also knew we were on a budget and so was not fused about something like putting the floor down (I can handle that). I think he was only surprised we didn't want them to put a ceiling up (I use the basement in part as a studio/recording space, and have a plan which doesn't work with a drywall ceiling). All pricing was transparent, and provided all receipts for materials that he arranged, or had us go pick out what we liked and brought it back.

Slava and his team did a fantastic job in demolishing and renovating two bathrooms over a ten day period. The work was done on time and within budget. Despite a few unexpected plumbing and structural issues, Slava came up with creative solutions and made every effort to stick to the original plans. He made requested adjustments without complaint and his positive attitude and client focus was very much appreciated. I was so happy with their work that I asked Slava and his partner, Emil, to complete a number of other projects including installation of a new living room floor, significant drywall repairs and house painting. They went so far as to hang a large mirror that was salavaged from one of the bathrooms and build a frame around it. It is a stunning addition to my townhome. I’m sure I will be working with Slava and his team on future home renovations.

After a disappointing job by a previous contractor I hired Slava and his team to complete the retiling of my shower. They came to my home and walked me thru the issues with the previous job while outlining in simple terms how much it would cost to repair the previous work. over the course of the next week the job was completed to well beyond my expectations, I would definitely recommend the guys at R&M to any friends and family in need of contract work.
