Renovations by Garman LLC

When I rate a contractor there are really 3 main areas that I look at. 1) Price 2) Quality 3) Professionalism. I normally assign 2 stars for price and quality and 1 star for professionalism. Renovations by Garman blew the original estimate by 20K and due to the time constraints that I was under for the job I had no choice but to move forward since I had already invested about 2 months worth of time into this company. They also didn't make any attempt to close that gap by at least picking up half of the amount. The quality of the work was great, but I'm sure I could've gotten good quality with someone else and at least be close to the budget. For that I would say that they get 2 stars for quality, 0 starts for price, and they blew the estimate so badly that I can't possibly give them a star for professionalism which is a shame because the people that interacted with were really pleasant and friendly. It's really too bad because I'm now looking for a contractor to do an outside living area and I'm not even considering this company.

RBG started the project a month late. As a result, they had to stop work at 90% completion when winter set in. Once spring arrived, the remaining work was completed in 2 weeks. There were several minor issues that arose during the work; they were handled quickly to our satisfaction. We enjoyed working with RBG's employees and sub-contractors. They were professional, polite, and pleasant. We recommend RBG for any renovation project.

Working alongside Renovations by Garman is a true pleasure! Everyone from sales to project management is is great to work with and understands what it takes to provide their customers with the best finished product possible. Fair allowances, rock solid scheduling, approachable staff, and attention to detail make them the obvious choice for any home renovation project.

A sweet sounding woman answered the phone with the business name and after I inquired, they stated they remodel interiors. And typically do not work outside of the Central PA region.

My husband and I contacted Garman because we wanted a front porch on our house where one did not exist before. We described to them what we wanted and even showed pictures. They took our ideas and created an outstanding design. When you look at our house from the street you would never know the porch was built on a 20 year old house. It has the look of having always been there. The porch is equal to that of the ones we have seen during our vacations on the beautiful island of Martha's Vineyard. I am a teacher and have spent many relaxing hours this summer on my gorgeous new front porch. I absolutely love it. Garman is highly professional company that pays attention to details and does outstanding work.

Lost my entire home due to fire, they rebuilt the exact same home. This was a very difficult time for me and my young family with 3 young girls. The development was very supportive and so was Garman. They got us back into the home in 6months. We love our home. Building a new home under these circumstances is very stressful, things can go wrong and become difficult. At times this happened, and in the End Garman helped in everyway they could, I think they went way beyond just building the home for us. I would use them again to build another home if I ever needed to. Hopefully it would because I am moving and for no other reason.

RBG finished our basement - the process was excellent and I would recommend them to anyone. They even came back to fix something that was beyond the warranty period and would not let me pay for it.

Bathroom remodel. All parts from design to completion were done very well. Subcontractors performed duties well. I would recommend Renovations by Garman.

Fred Heim was the force behind the carriage house garage we built in the Fall of 2013. His professional, warm approach to meeting our needs with regard to design and pricing made Renovations by Garmen our first choice builder. We are thrilled with our garage!

From concept to completion we were very pleased with Garman Renovations. They listened to our wants and needs and were able to design a space for us within our budget. We added a 20 x 22 family room addition, as well as, a new kitchen and powder room with new flooring and touch ups throughout the surrounding area. We lived in our house during the construction. Everyone was always respectful of our schedules. As the project progressed we requested some changes and added some upgrades without hesitation from Garman. We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them to family and friends who are considering a renovation project.

We had our ordinary shower remodeled into a modern shower with two shower heads, tile everywhere and a glass enclosure rather than a shower curtain. We also had cabinets and a sink built in our laundry room. Both projects were done exceptionally well and our house is substantially nicer than it was before. One thing I noticed was that they had a sub come back to fix some things that I hadn't even noticed. That level of attention to detail is what makes Renovations by Garman the best. Highly Recommended.

Garman Reno - finished a basement with a bedroom with walkin closet. Also, added a full bathroom. We closed off the storage area and added doors so it would be closed off and look finished. They took out sliding doors and added French doors. They also took care of the heating and cooling issues involved. They took care if everything!!! I was in charge of picking out paint color and finishes !!! The process working with the Reno team was very easy and professional. They give you a schedule as to what contractor is coming out drywall or plumber, etc. It worked out very well. They finished on time, a little over budget because of the high end finishes that I choose at last minute. I would recommend them and use them again !!
