Mike Wasik
“Revive is by far the best remodeler I have used. Justin was great at getting everything in place for the job. Jorge was a great contractor who was on top of everything and kept me informed the whole time. He instantly handled any issues that came up. The design crew was great as well helping us come up with the finished product. You get what you pay for – it might cost more for concierge-like service but it made the job go so smooth and we love the end result!”
Richard Heflin
“After a bad experience with contractors, I was hesitant to use another. I am so glad I did. Joe and Jorge were excellent the process was fast they had my kitchen done in less time than quoted. Any questions I asked were answered quickly and concise. Super happy overall and would recommend and use again. I want to add when the guys were here working, they didn’t play around they worked hard. they were very polite and cleaned up during and after their work. Everyone was very professional.”
Dawn Gutierrez
“Revive Design and Renovation just completed a kitchen and bathroom renovation for us. We are beyond thrilled with the outcome! Jessica’s vision in reworking the entry to our kitchen in order to install bar area was a game changer. It makes our small kitchen feel so much bigger and open. Justin and crew were very professional and responsive. We highly recommend Revive Design and Renovation.”
Mike Riley
“I hired Revive to remodel my kitchen. My main concern was that i didn’t get a cheap Home Depot like kitchen. I wanted real wood and Dovetail drawers. That what I got! This is my fourth kitchen design and renovation on what should be the last house I ever live in and I feel great to have found them! After meeting with numerous kitchen design companies, I choose to work with Michael. Michael presented me with not only the most cost efficient option but also was very knowledgeable and willing to work with me…”
Greg Kurzner
“Very professional. Justin and his team are easy to work with and good at what they do. Things went smoothly and communication was good throughout. I recommend them highly.”
