“our bathroom looks so much better…”

Total Construction (Ryan) renovated our bathroom. Communication was forthcoming and polite. Project was outlined and quoted in a timely manner. All promised work was done correctly, and our bathroom looks so much better. All involved were polite and kind. I will use this company for any future projects.

Total Construction & Renovations is a locally owned and operated business that truly cares about the product they put out. Ryan and his team really want their clients to be happy with the work they provide and it shows. There is nothing they can’t do, from a simple bathroom remodel to gutting an entire home to create a whole new floor plan. When you want it done right and with integrity call Ryan! I absolutely love the remodel he did on my personal home, and I’m a very picky person with OCD. Great communication, great pricing and extremely helpful on design ideas.

Ryan and TCR have been amazing. He’s very reliable and listens to what we want done and then makes suggestions to make the project better. He even fixed a fence that we though we might have to totally replace. Can’t wait to get to work on our bathroom soon. Give them a call, just do it.

“We feel we got good value for the price.”

Ryan took the stress out of our bathroom remodeling. He was easy to work with and always showed up when he said he would. We feel we got good value for the price. We highly recommend him and his team.

Ryan and his team did a terrific job on both repairing the outside and inside of my house, due to a tree coming through it. They do quality work, and show up when they say they will. They made the entire process easy. Great follow-up and customer service.
