Ever had a contractor complete a job on time and in budget? You will with Brave Remodeling. I cant say enough good things about Brian and Dave. They show up when they say they will, work to get the job done timely, do quality work and they dont make a huge mess in the process. You wont be sorry if you hire this company.

Kitchen/mud room/ laundry room remodel. First, the people: Brian and Dave are great to deal with. They are trustworthy, straightforward, detail-oriented, and they respond quickly to questions and issues. Second, the work: high-quality, professional, better than expected. After an extensive, multiple-month renovation, we could not be more pleased with the result. We would highly recommend (and have - to my parents) Brian and Dave to anyone!

Sunroom and grill deck addition. Brian and Dave deliver the highest quality work. They are easy to talk to and great at suggesting and explaining alternatives that add value to the project and keep costs in control. Also quick to deal with issues as they arise and deal with them professionally and expediently. Would absolutely use them again for future projects and are comfortable in recommending them to anyone needing their services.

If you are looking for a bathroom remodel then you need to look no further, Brave Remodeling is the company for you. Dave, Bryan and there crew did an AMAZING job of remodeling both our master bathroom and guest bathroom. They know what they are doing...they completely removed a corner shower with adjoining garden tub (1997 model) and built us an awesome 4'x8' walk in shower in our master-bath. They are very meticulous about their work, they clean up the area at the end of everyday, they treat your home like it was their own. Im so glad we decided to use Brave Remodeling for our bathroom remodel

Brian and Dave were exceptional to work with. They were very professional in all aspects of the remodel of our bathroom. They were respectful of our home and family schedule. They were always punctual, on schedule with the remodel and were spot on with their recommendations. Their work was exceptional and all of the individuals that they had working with/for them were as reliable and professional as they were. All of the work they completed was high quality and we had a very good experience with the job.
