Comments: I had an absolutely A+ experience using Steve Rechsteiner to remodel our shower and I can't wait to rave about it! From our very first phone call that he answered while he was walking his dogs, to his last drop-in to do a quality-check on the finished state of the shower, Steve gave us that white-glove, red-carpet treatment that you feel like you deserve when you're spending thousands on something (right?!) The impeccable quality of work speaks for itself in the photos, but it's the *customer service* that really makes a difference in my opinion. During the entire process, I felt like I was Steve's most valued customer. I proposed a Thanksgiving deadline that Steve made look like a piece-of-cake for him to handle, even though I know his workers, the plumber Henry (KMG Heating & Plumbing), his glass/measuring guys, and even his two young boys who dropped off the tiles worked hard to get it done in time for Thanksgiving. Steve was also incredibly considerate of my time and space. A wet saw had to be stored in my garage overnight while they were still working on the tiles for the shower. They kept to their word and their schedule, and the saw was only in my garage for one night as promised. Also, all walkways and carpeted areas were covered during the course of the job, so nothing got dirty or stained. Steve's workers Kyle and Daniel were at my house at 7:30 every morning during the job, and I appreciated that they were always right on time. They even went above and beyond more than once by doing things like taking down an old smoke alarm for me and replacing it with another one that I had. Also, they brought some white paint and patched up any areas that maybe got dirty or chipped during the remodel. I really appreciated that they brought their own paint for that, since I didn't have any in my garage. (Wish my window installers did that). And another fun thing, Steve brought over Domino's pizza for Kyle and Daniel one of the days and they got a whole pizza for me and my wife as well! It made me happy to see that Steve takes good care of his employees like that as well. The shower remodel itself took about 4 days, and as you can see from the pictures it turned out absolutely fantastic. The grout work, the niche, the fixtures, the hinge glass door, the new light -- everything turned out perfect. There are no defects of any kind in the workmanship. It really refreshes the whole look of the bathroom, and we're glad we waited a few extra weeks for the custom hinged glass door instead of a stock sliding glass door. There were no surprises in the invoice either when compared to the original estimate. Everything was priced fairly and accurately. We've been using the shower for weeks and everything works properly and drains well. I'm so glad we used Steve for our shower remodel and we already can't wait to use him again for our kitchen counter-top and other remodels in the future!

Comments: We have used Steve and his team for several remodels in our home (basement finishing, bedroom remodel, and bathrooms remodeled), and could not be happier with the results. We highly recommend Rechsteiner Home Improvements.

Comments: Steve was the contractor responsible for the remodel of our main bathroom and master bedroom including new tile, appliances, fireplace and new wooden floors in the bedroom. Ever project was completed on time and on budget. We then utilized him to finish half the basement and a new bathroom. The results are beautiful! His crew is very professional, and the projects are always left clean and neat. I would strongly recommend Rechsteiner Home Improvement !

Comments: We hired Rechsteiner Home Improvements to do a full remodel of our 20-yr old master bedroom and bathroom in 2020 and then hired them again to demo and rebuild our living room main wall with fireplace as well as add a loft to the new bedroom in 2021. The whole experience was top notch. Steve is amazing - he is punctual, no-nonsense, runs a tight ship, and is onsite much of the time doing work himself or collaborating with his crew and subs. He's an expert manager and craftsman. He hires the best and expects the best and the results speak for themselves. His team is small, skilled, respectful, devoted, and clean. They work cohesively with each other, and more importantly from a homeowner's perspective, with me and my family throughout the whole project. I truly enjoyed having them come to the house - they were full of courtesy and talent and they cleaned up after themselves always. Big Mike is a rock star! He literally built us sauna from a pile of cedar planks and an instruction pamphlet I'm convinced was in Swedish. Henry gets kudos for not only being a plumbing magician but also for the emergency installation of a new (unplanned) hot water heater during the course of the project, and for his keen idea to incorporate the downstairs guest rooms into the new instant water heating system thus saving us countless gallons of wasted water. Regardless of design snafus, backed-up materials due to covid shortages, weather or county permit delays, Steve kept his cool, confident attitude, and didn't miss a beat. His subs were reliable and honest. He got each project done timely and always communicated when he or his crew would be onsite. They took photos of the work along the way and tracked daily progress in a shared app that kept us up to speed even when we were out of town. Steve quoted me a cost for the project in 2019 and he held to that cost even through the price hikes in 2020 - I have NEVER had that experience before and it was mind blowing! Thanks Steve - your integrity and commitment to excellence are unmatched in your industry. Keep it up!

Comments: We were referred to Steve by friends who used him and cannot say enough positive things about the quality of his work! From the demo of our project (remodeled almost the entire first floor) right up until the last nail was hammered, Steve was completely engaged. His crew was polite and treated our home with the utmost respect during the 8 week period. Most importantly, Steve took the time to do his due diligence prior to giving us pricing. Therefore, the final quote for the scope of work was accurate and itemized, thus there were no financial surprises throughout the project. This is a rare find in the construction business. My wife and I highly recommend him without reservation and we absolutely love our new first floor!

Comments: We are extremely happy with our complete Masterbath remodel. Very professional. Hardworking team. Completed project in good time. We would highly recommend Rechsteiner Home Improvements!

Comments: I cannot say enough on the quality, professionalism and honesty I received from Steve and Carrie. I had a 1700 sq. ft. bare concrete basement I needed to turn into an apartment for my family and was terrified in looking for a contractor because of so many horror stories but OH MY what a beautiful finish we have.!!. What impressed me first that made me go with them was the reality and detail of the bid. We came spot on to what we both agreed to which means they understood my vision and what I wanted and ensured it was all covered in the bid, NO SURPRISES and did not want cash up front which immediately created that trust factor. All the contractors were respectful understood my communication and direction of what I was talking about and all on schedule. Steve plans very well and keeps himself involved constantly, I will call them again for my next project and you should too if your looking for a trustful professional contractor.

Comments: We hired Rechsteiner Home Improvements to remodel our master bath, hall bath, and mudroom, and they did a fantastic job. Steve and Carrie (and his whole crew) were so nice to work with, and were always respectful of our home and our time. I really appreciated that most of the work was done by Steve and members of his own crew rather than a lot of subcontractors. Carrie gave us great design assistance for our master bath, and we could not be happier with how it turned out. We will definitely be calling them again if we decide to do anymore remodeling. Highly recommend!

Comments: We recently moved into a new house that needed repairs as well as several additions, so we turned to Home Advisor for a list of contractors. My husband and I were extremely pleased with the work that RHI did for us. Steve Rechsteiner is very professional and easy to work with, has a great crew, and does an excellent job at providing high-quality home improvement! Our projects need to be done before we moved into our new home and Steve went above and beyond to help us get everything done in a very short period of time. Not only was Steve able to efficiently meet our deadlines, but the finished work is exceptional! We are so pleased that we 've hired him to replace our decks next! We highly recommend Steve and Rechsteiner Home Improvements!

Comments: This is the third project that Rechsteiner has completed for us and once again we are very pleased. Rechsteiner completed a basement remodel which included a new 3/4 bathroom, new flooring, lighting, replaced windows and paint. Steve's wife Carrie is very helpful with the selection of flooring and bathroom tile. Steve's crew are always professional , polite and always clean up the project at the end of the day. Steve is always mindful of the budget and there are never any surprises which we appreciate. We look forward to working with Rechsteiner again in the future.

Comments: Steve and his crew are top notch. We liked the work so much we had him come back and remodel an upstairs bathroom this summer and we are hiring him to do repairs on the exterior of our house this fall. Very professional, reasonable and easy to work with. He is a man of his word and is great to work with. Absolutely the best contractor I have ever worked with. Great crew as well, we specifically asked Marcus to be involved with the floors and tile work in bathroom after seeing his work in the kitchen. He is an artist!

Comments: Steve and his crew were polite, professional and exceeded our expectations with the work they performed. Steve kept us informed as to when his crew would be there each day and they finished when promised. There were minimal cost overruns from the original bid. We would highly recommend this company and would use them again if we need more work done. Toni V.

Comments: One of the most favorable experiences we have had with contractors. Our project was a complete basement completion with a 3 sided fireplace, steam shower, heated tile floors, theatre room, exercise room and bar. The true test of a contractor is in problem resolution (which there almost always is in a major project). Steve and his team were excellent at resolving challenges and making sure that we were happy. Front to back our project took a little more than 2 months. Thanks again to Steve and his team. Mike and Kristi .

Comments: Steve was very professional and a great communicator! I was impressed from day one and felt important and like Steve was grateful for the opportunity to help us improve our home! Project started on time and ended sooner than planned. Steve has a really top notch crew. All the crew members respected our home also good at communicating and made me feel comfortable. We had our loft/ master bedroom closed in. They did such an amazing job and it looks like the wall was always there and really in place. The end result was better than we imagined and are so pleased. We will be using this crew for all future projects

Comments: Steve and his crew were a pleasure to work with. We asked him to renovate an attached garage into living space. They evaluated the needs, provided recommendations and helped us think through options. His crew were clean and courteous and fantastic to work with. I only took off half a star on customer service because in the beginning he was hard to get a hold of (due to being very busy), but once the project started, we had his undivided attention. Would definitely recommend.

Review Date: 03/11/2014 | Author: Sharie C.

Comments: Steve's pricing is very fair. I hired Steve over several bids as he is not just a contractor, but actually works in his company, a selling point for me. I supplied most items for remodel and Steve gave me credit for items in his bid. Steve's crew showed up on time, were polite, honest, worked hard, and finished job on time. Steve daily made sure I was satisfied with progress. Steve updated me daily as to what work would be done next day. Quality of work for bath remodel is excellent! I am hiring Steve for master bath remodel. I highly recommend his company for remodeling projects! Sharie C.

Comments: Recently I had the pleasure of an absolutely outstanding experience with my deck replacement project. After seeking 6 different bids and being very unimpressed and shocked on price with nearly all of them, the contractor I selected and used was Rechsteiner Home Improvements LLC. Steve Rechsteiner owns and operates his own business and is a true professional, communicates at a level unseen in the home trades industry, is priced incredibly fair for the value and top quality produced. He is dedicated to customer service and satisfaction and he listens to what you need and want. Steve is my go to contracting going forward!

Review Date: 02/20/2013 | Author: Dan H.

Comments: Steve and his crew did a great job. I needed to impose a pretty hard and tight deadline due to a baby soon to arrive and he still did a great job. He and his crew were very easy to work with and I felt comfortable working with them (and my wife) throughout the process. They were open to slight changes while still managing the deadline. I would definitely recommend them for any project. In fact, they may be putting up a new deck for me soon.

Comments: The completed project so far exceeded our expectations it was unbelievable. We wanted an exterior raised deck with a porch roof. What we got was finished as well as if it had been a living room. All the details and finishing were just spectacular right down to the matching gable roof and interior lights and ceiling fan. From the first meeting, we were impressed with his professional attitude. He listened carefully to what we had in mind and then told us how he could make that happen.

Comments: Steve was prompt when I requested a quote on our composite deck. He was the only contractor to give me an estimated cost during his site visit, then provide an exact quote a couple days later. Work was completed in about a week and we were very happy with the quality of work.

Comments: Steve showed up on time, finished the project ahead of schedule and in between didn't try to sell me more than I needed and did a great job

Review Date: 04/15/2012 | Author: Allison B.

Comments: We were very pleased with the work done. The only problem arose from not having checklist of things that were agreed upon. There were times when we had one understanding but they had a different one and tried to charge more than agreed on to do certain things. In the end it all worked out, but I would recommend a specific drawing with items agreed on for the estimate in advance.

Review Date: 03/29/2012 | Author: Todd Y.

Comments: Steve with Rechsteiner Home Improvements is highly professional and delivers as quoted and projected from the start. You won't find many contractors as professional as he is. I have already called Steve back to do more work for me and will have no problems referring him to others.

Comments: Steve recommended city permits. This is a big deal, as the other contractors did not want to go to the trouble. Steve said confidently, "I can get the permits in a day" and he did. The city inspector protects me from inexpert work, and when a builder recommends getting permits rather than cutting corners and avoiding them, that is a huge recommendation. Steve shows up on time, without surprises. He creates good estimates and sticks to them. I hired him even though he wasn't the cheapest estimate, and I'm glad I did.

Comments: I was very happy with Rechsteiner Home Improvement. Pricing was in the budget I expected , the quality of work was 5 star, and the work was done in the time frame quoted. I will definetly use Steve again for any other home improvements I need and will highly recommend him to anyone I know.

Review Date: 09/09/2009 | Author: Jen K.

Comments: Steve and his employee were both efficient, polite and always cleaned up after themselves. While the job took a bit longer than first anticipated, much of it was due to weather. Steve was extremely concerned with my level of satisfaction and ensured that I was 100% satisfied before closing out the job. I've received countless comments on how great my pergola looks and how much it added to my home aesthetically. Thanks so much for a job well done, I would recommend him and will look forward to hiring him again for any further home improvements needed.

Review Date: 08/15/2009 | Author: Jay V.

Comments: Steve does great work! He seems to enjoy his work and is willing to listen to suggestions and will have a reasonable dialogue about why something will or will not work. Steve is very responsive and communicative- he really makes sure that the client understands the time line and what you can expect from him as well as what he expects of you as the client.

Review Date: 08/12/2009 | Author: Linda V.

Comments: Professional is the key word here! Of all the listed contractors we interviewed--he is the only one who returned our call quickly--brought with him to our home, a photo album of previous work done as well as references--but more importantly he knew his stuff! We have contractors in the family and were prepared with information--he is the only one who knew what was needed--how to do it and as we had already priced materials was not only right on in the costs--he beat our estimates because of his professional relationships with suppliers. He knew the city codes and verified permit matters before even being hired. His bid was not the highest--it was not the lowest--but it was the most accurate and reasonable for the work being done. As to quality--A -absolute stickler for detail and doing things right. Both he and his staff were on time--communicative and a pleasure to work with. I say start with this company and save yourself the time of trying to find anyone who can beat them. They were awesome and the finished product has got nothing but rave reviews. We will be using them again for inside remodel work we will be doing.

Comments: The project I was working on was a brand new business, and had to remodel a retail space from a bare room to a facility to service customers. From day one, Steve Rechsteiner was the most professional, genuine contractor I've ever met. He explain to me all the details of the project, went above and beyond on helping me with the city planning/building inspections, and other subcontractors working on the electrical and plumbing. Steve worked with me within my planned budget for the project, and completed the project within the deadline. If you are planning to remodel, I would highly recommend Steve for the job. You won't go wrong!

Comments: Steve was very professional. He was working at our house every day, finishing the project within the projected time length with no added costs. He stayed in close contact with us throughout the project making sure that everything was completed to our satisfaction. Many times he would call the night before to update us on the plans for the next day and what time to expect him. We will definitely use his services in the future and would recommend him without hesitation. Our kitchen remodel is beautiful and just how we imagined it would look.

Comments: Steve Rechsteiner is the consummate professional. He did what he said he was going to do, showed up on time (every time), and managed this project with great efficiency. Steve was also polite and extremely flexible. One of the reasons we are so pleased with him (aside from the quality of the work) was the fact that he was so great to work with. We had tight deadlines and he was able to meet those deadlines with out sacrificing the quality of his work. We love our new basement and are extremely pleased with the work that Steve did for us. We would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone.

Comments: Mr. Rechsteiner is a professional. Very good does not describe him. Excellent is a better description. His work is outstanding, he was fair and honest with the estimate. He did most of the work himself. The subcontractors he uses are great. He is courteous,friendly.He is also trustworthy. We were at work each day while he came to our house to do the basement finish. He locked the front door while he was down in the basement doing the work and before he left each day. He brought all the materials through the basement window so as not to dirty up the house. He's a good communicator. He kept us informed and up to date as the project progressed.
