Renehan Building Group

I hired Renehan to custom renovate my home. They did not adhere to our agreement. The project did not go as expected.

Started new build ~3000sqft home in 2016, finished in 2017. Started out well enough but went on a negative trend. Had our 1yr punch list in March and the trend continued. Jim Renehan won't even respond to my inquiries about testing for mold around windows that leaked (reported multiple times in 2017 and then when brought up again for 1yr punch list they merely ran some caulk along the top of the trim) or about the ceiling paint which is not the same as the little bit of paint left in the basement (now I understand why the label was torn off the can) nor the paint his employee informed was the matching paint for the ceiling. The ceiling paint is important because they do not paint after their drywall contractor comes back to selectively fix the nail pops you mark for the 1yr punch list. Anyone know how much it costs to paint every ceiling in a 3000sqft house with 700sqft finished basement? Their flooring/tile contractor (Fred Callaghan in Malvern/Frazer) managed to get dirt, or some foreign matter, in the grout they mixed for the master bathroom and, though pointed out in person to two RBG employees in 2017, they won't re-grout. The contractor, Callaghan, says the discoloration is from moisture. I offered to send samples to a lab to prove them wrong but Renehan shut it down and I haven't heard since. These are just select mentions from the recent 1yr punch list. Hopefully Jim will see this and realize he should take care of these few issues. I'd be glad to update this review to share that there's been resolution, should that happen.

There are a handful of customer home builders that we are proud to share a reputation for quality craftsmanship and an unrelenting eye for detail with, and Renehan Building Group is one of them.

Renehan Building Group built the home my family currently lives in. We bought the new home in June of 2013, it was the first of a three lot subdivision so shortly after moving in we were able to observe the construction of the other to houses on the adjacent lots. The Renehan Group is a professional team that hires quality sub-contractors who work closely with their staff to build a quality home. They go the extra mile to make sure the clients are happy. Being a residential architect with almost 20 years of experience, I understand and respect a builder like Renehan who is focused on not just the quality of the home, but the quality of the experience as well. Because of their standard of care, our firm, Arcus Design Group, has chosen to work with Renehan on a few projects that are currently ongoing. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with the professionals at Renehan Building Group. Kyle Litzke, AIA Arcus Design Group

We hired RBG for extensive renovations on our home (almost doubling the size). We found them to be highly professional; very responsive to our needs and requests; sensitive to our situation (we stayed in the house during the renovations); and respectful to our budget. Overall, we are so happy with our beautiful home and the quality and craftsmanship of every aspect of the work that was done. We get so many compliments on our home from friends and family. We had such a great experience with RBG that we are hiring them, again, to renovate our entire basement.

We have had the pleasure of sharing a working relationship with Renehan Builders for years. We provide natural stone tops for their custom residential projects. It's a pleasure to serve on their projects because they are organized and reliable. We look forward to working together for years to come. We highly recommend the Renehan Building Group.

Quality, transparency and integrity are the words that best describe the Renehan Building Group! From start to finish, working with the Renehan team was a complete pleasure. The entire process was easily managed and captured via their online system, which tracked all our email communications, hosted photos of the progress being made at the site on an ongoing basis, and included details of change orders requested to ensure accuracy. Perhaps the most impressive element to our building experience was the unsurpassed personal attention we received from every member of the Renehan team. Starting with our first meeting, everyone was professional, friendly, responsive, and went out of their way to ensure every detail pertaining to our custom home met or exceeded our expectations. Our questions were always addressed promptly and completely, and Jim Renehan consistently made it a point to personally meet with us to explain details regarding critical milestones during the building process. The Renehan Building Group built us our dream home and we could not be happier with the finished result!

Jim and his team were wonderful to work with. All the things you wish for when building a home they deliver on. They worked very hard on our project to stay on time, in budget, and with the highest quality craftmanship. They faced history in the making severe weather and other set backs because of the age and style of our house yet they always came up with solutions. RBG's commitment to their customers, values and work ethic that are unmatched and implementation of state of the art home building technology makes it easy to understand why the Renehan Building Group comes so highly recommended. We are thrilled with our new home and have the RBG team to thank!

I have met this contractor Renehan Builders, the owner. He has transformed more than a few homes in my neighborhood, they are all happy customers and highly recommend him. The tell me he is on time, on budget and low stress and makes change orders easy. I have been told his laborers are decent, respectful to the entire family.

A thorough, professional, astute and pro-active contractor. Always prepared for inspections, is simply the most thorough contractor in regard to the details of construction. Contracts with subcontractors who are skilled, dedicated and cooperative.
